Foss: To screw up royally. In a Vampire game I ran, one of my players had country-bumpkin Gangrel named Grant Foss. Foss managed to screw up everything he tried in the first six sessions we had, and even once he got better, he became the joking scapegoat of everything that happened afterwards...

I keep them; each PC has a folder they keep track of handouts and their own notes in, and since we always game at my house, it's easier just to take the folders, sit them on the bookshelf, and there we go. It helps me, too, when designing encounters and enemies; I can double-check their attack...

Chose "Other." In Final Fantasy Omega (because we had to name it something): My players currently operate out of the island once called Verraten and now called Madain Sari, a haven for summoners and the home of the newly-reborn Tonberry Nation. Since they decided to solidify Madain Sari as...

I played the evil member of a largely good party a few years back. In a group with a cleric/rogue of the nature god, bookish wizard of the holiest of the holy gods, paladin of the same holier-than-thou god, and a bard of the annoying god, I played a sorceror from the Blood War trapped in this...

I run a Wednesday game and a Sunday game, and I'm already running along the border of burnout. If I played in another game per week, or ran another game per week (perish the thought), I'd definitely burn out on gaming and need to break from it for a while. Even now, running and planning two...

I said "Facilitator." I'm rooting for them! They trust that enough to come to me with their ideas and say, "Does this complex plan have a chance of success?" and if it's too far-fetched or out there, I'll say, "No." They know as much as I do that if they flub the rolls or if the villains start...

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh. This got the biggest laugh out of me.

I really think anything has this potential. Video games, dates, girlfriends, wives, kids, work, sports, television shows... WoW is more prevalent because it's hugely popular, and because it's close to tabletop gaming in conception (and with the World of Warcraft RPG, which I recommend), they're...

I have been running a weekly game for going on three years. When it's over, which may be in the next six months, I plan on taking a month-long break and then running again. I have not been a player in a game that lasted more than three sessions in four and a half years. And I like it that way. I...

While I don't run adventures, I do read them when they come in my books. I like the boxed text -- I think it can really help a DM set the mood, even if he/she just pulls from it for their own descriptions. Same way reading a book helps with ideas. There might be a certain turn of phrase that...

I am playing: Madden 2006 (as always) Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Galactic Civilizations II (or at least I will starting tonight) Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King Rome: Total War, Barbarian Invasion Heroes of Might And Magic V Civilization IV Lots of strategy in there, you may...

I run two games of two players, in my Final Fantasy game. Each game has a DMPC (I suppose that's what he is); one has a dual-wielding swordsman named Aidan Denun, and the other has an athletic dragoon named Champ Justice. Aidan rounds out the swordsman/mage group as a hybrid character, able to...

My choices: Captain Complication: Sometimes the quickest route between Point A and Point B is a straight line. I'm more than okay with creativity. I love it. Do things to keep me guessing. But when someone steals your ship, sometimes the quickest way to get it back is to go back and take it...

I moved here in the summer of 2003, and live in Overland Park now. Just went to 31st Century Games in Olathe yesterday for the World of Warcraft RPG Alliance Player's Guide, actually. Best gaming store I've been to yet.

I can't recall how accurate this is, but don't undead have no Constitution score, and therefore no additional HP/level possible? If they get critically hit, it might shorten their lifespan (such as it is) even more. I don't know if that's part of the balance or not, but if you're making it so...

Didn't vote because we're not married -- together for over five years, but not yet married. I got her into gaming, and she's as passionate about it as I am. She also puts up with my twenty-minute drives to Olathe to hit the best gaming store without complaint, and even owns more dice than I do...

Dexterity, actually. My heroes tend to have trouble slipping or tripping when attacking, and anytime my dwarven paladin mucked up a charge or missed a swing, it was because his footwork was off or he got off balance when swinging his hammer.

It could work, I think, with the right people. I would not be one of them. "NATURAL 20! I'M NOT GONNA DIE! WAHOOOO!"

RSVP'ed. C'mon, everyone, email Curtis!

I work as a customer service manager/accounting specialist/programmer/troubleshooter/repair/website optimizer/jack of all trades for a voicemail/auto attendant company in Kansas City. Been here two and a half years. At least, that's what pays my bills. Congrats on the awesome job, Piratecat! I...
