    How did you learn how to play?

    Simple. Occasionally, I contact a poster here, kill him, and eat his brain. :)

    Real tale of Old School feel?

    Ew. If that's it, I think I know why I never understood it.

    Doom teaser

    Oh, how I envy them! I ended up using the right mouse button just to switch between flashlight and weapon!

    Alchohol During A D&D Game?

    I guess it depends on the players. In my group, it's a non-issue. All of my players, including me and excluding one who doesn't drink, are simply unable to get drunk enough to affect the game, unless the whole thing was planned well in advance. Simply put, there isn't enough alcohol in the house...

    Taking the average instead of rolling many dice

    I DM with a laptop and use a dice roller. Rolling doesn't really take time, the unpredictability is enjoyable, and it gives me room to fudge if needed.

    I Need Advice From D&D Folks...

    I read the comic yesterday from the link in your sig. It's funny. :D The fact that people care enough to email you should be a good sign, even if they are flames. :D

    The Warlock - How has it played?

    Seems to work fine, balance-wise. I don't like its flavor; for some reason the idea of blast magic 1/round seems a bit too much. But that's just me, I guess. And I would certainly like it in the right campaign. A player is considering the idea of making a warlock with the sending-like...

    What is your current character's core class?

    I have one which is pretty much equally fighter and wizard, and another that is mostly rogue. I didn't want to think hard about the first, so I voted rogue. :D

    Warcraft's mass combat system

    I've read the mass combat system presented in Warcraft: Alliance & Horde Compendium. I think that it had already been printed elsewhere, but I don't know where. Anyway, I have a serious doubt about spellcasting in that system. A battle round is one minute long. During this time, a unit can...

    What is it that makes you do that voodoo that you do so well?

    I'm a programmer. I do lots of different stuff, mostly industrial software.

    Introducing fantasy RPGs to religious players

    I never had this problem because I never met a strongly religious player. Most of the people I game with are between atheist and agnostic.

    Worst RPG System You Ever Palyed?

    I was going to mention an obscure home-grown RPG I played once at a con, but if mr. Rodrigo has actually played a FATAL LARP, I'll retire from the competition since I don't think that can be beaten.

    The special teams that deal with supernatural threats and high-CR issues are generally called "adventuring parties".

    D&D being dropped by gamestore(s) in fovor of other roleplaying games...

    Weirdness. :confused: Maybe your community has an unusually low amount of D&D players?

    [FR]Player wants to play a Bard/Ninja :), what do you think?

    If he's picked bard, he isn't a very good munchkin. ;)

    Nudist Camp at ENWORLD?

    I am. Really. Hey, it's very hot and humid here and I haven't got round to installing something to cool the room yet, ok? Though TBH I've got slips on.

    ... the pay phone rings. What do you do?

    Let it ring. It's not for me. I've got a cellphone and no patience for drama. Well, it depends. Can you fit a nuke in a payphone? :]

    Die rolls

    If it falls from the table, you pick it up, reroll and get a slap. If it is obviously cocked, you reroll. If it is non-obviously cocked, the DM decides. Generally, I call for rerolls of bad results and let the players keep the good ones.

    What is railroading?

    None. Railroading is: Scenario 11: DM: "It's almost nightfall. You're walking along a mountain path and encounter a cave." PCs: "We keep walking." DM: "A nasty storm breaks out." PCs: "We still keep walking; we may still be able to reach the village." DM: "A half kilometer from the cave, the...
