I don't know that I'd say anything like "You have nice eyes" to another woman. To me, it wouldn't seem right. Now, I'll think lots of things. And I have a remarkably awesome girlfriend who is perfectly fine with me noticing other people, and doesn't mind when I say something like "Our new...

Ack! Minus FOUR Strength, plus a roughly-d2 penalty for using small weapons? Gnomes would be lucky to deal 1 point of damage with a dagger. I personally can't imagine ever playing a gnome with that kind of wall to start with. Why do you want to increase their Strength penalty?

Hypothetical situation, if you'll allow it, and not one I think is preposterous. I am playing Hero Protagonist. Hero is locked in mortal combat with Evil McBadGuy, and Hero and Evil are trading vicious sword blows back and forth. My initiative rolls around. Hero is down to 15 HP, thanks to a...

I have a few. The Dismembered Lamb is a recurring tavern name, usually in seedy port towns. An NPC named Trash Talker. His catchphrase is, to be frank, "I did your mom, how about that?" He's always an information broker. He originally was a PC of a friend of mine back in a Vampire game seven...

I am playing: Starcraft, as always. Working on good 2 vs. 5 strategies with the Protoss to avoid early game rushes from multiple computers -- I need more splash damage. Paper Mario 2: I've beaten it four times, but I love it so much. :) Jak X: Combat Racing: I am stuck on the last race through...

I voted "look at cell phone, PDA, whatever" except for me, 75% of the time "whatever" is my pocket watch. It was my grandfather's, so I use it as much as I can. Plus I don't have to turn it off in a movie theater, like I do for my cell phone. :) I do need a regular watch, as pocket watches...

I'm not sure what the best thing to do is, but don't ever place a job higher than your family. Family should be, IMO, the most important thing to anyone, period, hands down, no ifs, ands, or buts. Yeah, it hits a chord with me -- my father, back when I was 11, decided that his new job was more...

Hi, my name is Matt. Nice to meet you. Have you ever considered the deep and storied history of console platform games like Mario, Sonic, Jak & Daxter, and Ratchet & Clank? No? I'd like to talk about how these games have redefined the genre. You see, platformers used to just be like Pitfall for...

I have a 1992 Mustang LX (read that: Ford car that wants to grow up and be a REAL Mustang one day!) that has no end of problems, I'm sure. It's got about 120,000 miles on it, the door handle on the driver's side broke off during a cold snap, it's overheated and lost oil pressure twice in the...

World of Warcraft RPG (I have the first edition, but heard the second one was much better and can't find it ANYWHERE and am debating the PDF) Libris Mortis, 'cause zombies are always fun. More damage dice, and my players will hate that, I'm sure. Mage: The Awakening, just to see if it's any...

My old GM in Virginia was a woman -- ran a very, very good D&D 10th-level game. Easily the most memorable D&D game I've ever played in, with a very well thought-out plot, deep characters from the PCs, great NPCs, and very cinematic combats. She took a little while getting used to the system, and...

That is the freakiest thing I have read today. Gyah!

Cheez-Its must be eaten two at a time. No more, no less. Anything else is blasphemy! Also, they must be plain Cheez-Its. Anything else is weeeeeeeeeeird and not for human consumption. Also, Cheese Nips are a foul abomination compared to the holy powers of Cheez-Its. My favorite kind of ice...

What Crothian said -- plus, with having to be lawful good, Paladins have a restrictive alignment, whereas clerics can have one close to their god so any question about their code could vary wildly. I think it may also be because previously they had ludicrous requirements, at least according to...

Last year, Wrestlemania XX, 2004 -- Where It All Begins Again, they said. Eddie Guerrero defeated Kurt Angle to retain the WWE Championship in a great match, and then Chris Benoit completed his lifelong dream of winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania, defeating Triple H and...

While I like the idea for flavor, I don't like the idea of having my Con modifier go down when I only have a measly d4 hit die. I'd rather not die from a single crossbow bolt.

That seems like it could get really schizophrenic, though -- never having something to fall back on. Yes, those are the personas, but does the changeling even HAVE a real identity, a real personality? Are they more than just a collection of illusions? It's a fascinating concept, isn't it? I...

As a one-shot, I'd want to play something I was familiar with. When I do a one-shot, it's for a fun change of pace. The last one-shot we did was a relaxed-rules Mage: The Ascension game where paradox only happened on a botch, and I played a character who was convinced he had comic book superhero...

Shifters are a little too animalistic for me. Just not my bag. I agree that to get any real flavor or cool stuff about the race, you need feats, and that's odd to me -- there aren't any halfling feats or dwarven feats to improve THEIR racial abilities. Warforged are neat. I like warforged a...

Man. I'm sure some people can play in a game like that without any trouble, but how could someone feel needed playing in a game where their character has 63,000 gp of items, and that's all, and someone else has 150,000? That's not too far away from THREE TIMES the equipment. Now, maybe the...
