I like playing interesting characters -- I won't play a character that bores me. I tend to come up with backgrounds bordering on fantastic, and have done some silly stuff (my half-fire elemental with the Blood War backstory -- in his defense, he started at level 10, so I couldn't have been...

I'm the youngest at 24, we have three people at 25, and one player at 29. So no, not a big difference. Even back in high school, we never had more than a three year age difference (one freshman in the game dominated by seniors).

Weekend after next works for me, and I'm not a huge Mongolian Barbecue fan, but it'll take more than that to make me not go. Definitely looking forward to this.

I played some Halo 2 co-op with my old roommate last year -- as far as I'm concerned, there's no other way to play that game. Problems in playing as the Arbiter, though, as it's hard to tell him apart from everything else, led to some bad moments in whatever mission it is with the elevator, when...

All the time -- I love reading a good gaming book. When I bought Eberron, I didn't for a second think I'd ever play in it. Got lucky there, a few campaigns (that never got going, though). I've also got Hunter: The Reckoning for the same reason -- great read.

I voted no, although I'm not sure if what I do play fits in that category. Do I play a miniatures game like Warhammer or Battletech (if that's even what it's called)? No, I don't. Do I play video games like Heroes of Might and Magic, Silent Storm, and Final Fantasy Tactics? Yes, I do. They're...

Yow! I wouldn't do that to my players in a heartbeat -- it's enough that their character died, but that's like kicking over the headstone afterwards. I don't like the players-vs-the-DM mentality, and that would promote it too much in my opinion. So no, I wouldn't do that, and I'd pitch seven...

17th works for me -- what are we thinking as a restaurant?

Now I need to get more information on Mutants and Masterminds, it seems... it can help me design my next Final Fantasy game. To the gaming store I go!

My girlfriend and I will be driving from Overland Park, KS, to Staunton, VA, to visit my family and take in the sights and sounds of the scenic Shenandoah Valley, which is to say we'll be going a lot of places not in the Shenandoah Valley. We plan on hitting the Washington, D.C zoo and the...

I am playing a lot of games. On my PS2: Madden 2006. When in doubt, I'm -always- playing Madden. In Year 4 of probably my 19th franchise this year. Now if I could get through a season without four people getting season-ending injuries... NCAA 2006. Mostly just to import draft classes. Star...

I'm in Johnson County -- Overland Park, to be exact. The place that caters the best around here to large gatherings that I go to is Cinzetti's, an Italian buffet place around 93rd and Metcalf (that is -fantastic-). And yeah, definitely interested. There are other places too, I'm sure.

I think the first thing I'd do is make sure there's not an NPC where their thing is "I'm gay," or that's the only point of the NPCs in question. A character trait, fine, but not their gimmick, their title. I think that's the first step in presenting it in a way that won't make anyone...

Man, that's just asking for a spiked ball in an uncomfortable area... As much as I like the Warcraft setting, they have rules for smacking people with totem poles. Yes, I know it was a weapon in the PC RTS, and it's a neat visual, but it still seems so freaking silly. And that's not even...

I run two games in the same universe for two groups of two players, so each group has a third party member played by me. The first party is basically a fighter and caster, so the third is a hybrid mobile fighter. The second party is heavy on ranged, so I made a spear-wielding dragoon-type melee...

It's the only one I've played more than twice, so definitely yes.

I'll say yes -- it narrowly beats out Mage: The Ascension.

No, it's not. I play a homebrew that's pulled more from Final Fantasy. The only game I'm playing in is one session long so far, and is World of Warcraft. If anyone runs an Eberron game around here I'd love to play that, but right now, nope.

This went down about six weeks ago. Mildly long. One of my players is playing a summoner in my Final Fantasy game, one of the last two survivors of an island of summoners that was butchered 15 years ago. She left when she was still a child, so she did not know the village well at all. Having...

Two of my PCs are part of a military-for-hire organization, and the third is an "unrestricted free agent" who works with them because they pay well. I routinely send them on missions, about once every ten to twelve sessions (the missions tend to take about five sessions, since it never goes...
