I'm over-civilized. If I had grown up in the Paleolithic era, about 50% of my brain would be devoted to avoiding tar-pits and giant snakes and what not, while the other 50% would be devoted to picking up hot cave-girls. As it is today, it takes only 25% of my brain to dodge muggers and get the...

You totally shouldn't be docked be CHA just b/c your character is a kind of a butch. I mean not all women have to be all femme-y all the time. Look at, say, Annie Lennox, she's kinda' butch but still... ...oh, wait. Lemme read this again... Okay, disregard that. I agree with the chorus...

...but it wouldn't say "ERIC" in the front cover. I guess I'm sentimental like that. Thanks, though. :)

That's Hilarious! What's with gamers launching potatoes? I knew these guys who were really into making potato-cannons out of PVC pipes. On weekends they'd go to an outside gun club/gun-range and fire off their cannons alongside the hunters and gun-nuts. You'd think that responsible...

Leprechauns. Most fey, except for brownies.

Then yes, yes, yes, the Holy Grail has been ruined for me. Not just by gamers, but by ALL the geeks that have ever quoted it. I think there's something about that movie that makes it especially obnoxious when it's repeated. What are you talking about? Dungeons and Dragons movie? There's no...

DnD doesn't have a lot to do with real life sword fighting. The rules are very abstract and assume there are lots of little maneuvers and feints and parries and such things going on all the time. I'd say, make a normal attack role; if it hits, say you did that thing with shield-grabbing. :)

"These chicks are packin'!" Yes the Warriors is a fine, fine piece of... cinema. There's a huge mural of the Warriors on the Coney Island boardwalk. I teared up the first time I saw it. After watching WIZARD PEOPLE w/my group they quote it non-stop. It hasn't gotten old yet, but soon... By...

YOU, SIR! ...just took the cake. Gold Medal.

Hmmmm... I'm not so hot w/the high level challenges, but I think you should make the city itself some kind of threat since it's such a cool location. Maybe magic works differently or has side effects. You could say the city was still temporally unstable, and the use of magic within its borders...

Word. That has to be my least favorite thing. Girlfriends who are really interested in playing RPGs- fine. Girlfriends who can't stand to be away from their boyfriends for a few hours a week- bad, bad, bad! ******** I got another one. Eric. He looked kind of like Frankenstein's monster in...

I find the best thing to do when suffering from DM burnout is to spend some time as a player. Every adventure makes me think of the ways I would have run the encounters or where I would take the plot if I was the DM. After awhile your writing finger will start to itch, and if it doesn't- then...

Maybe he was working on some kind of art project? ...right? ...maybe? ...please? The creepiest guy I ever played with was named Howie. He gamed with "those wierd MERP guys," the other clique of gamers from my highschool. He was kind of an evil and unbathed gnome wrapped up in a black...

Yea. My barbarians theme song is "Total Eclipse of the Heart." I used to do this for Vampire games, but D&D? What would you listen to? I could imagine a lot of Rush, Zepplin, and Queen going on.

No, I meant discovering that the DM has house rules when they come into play. I've had it happen to me, and it blows. As for a DM telling players that he has house rules for certain things on his side of the screen; that's fine and totally within his rights. I Just don't see much of a reason...

It's fine to go along w/the DMs obviously preplanned material IF you're interested. Your wizard could certainly take a boat to see the sites, that's not so crazy is it? But going along on something you could care less about isn't doing anybody any favors. Your job as a player isn't to follow...

I used to only play CG characters b/c it's probably the closest to my own, real-life outlook on things. But recently I've played LE characters to try something new and different, and it was so freakin' fun. Esp. in a basically good party. "Of course we should divide the treasure equally, it's...

Ohh, a Zombie Apocalypse... That's a whole other creature. Is it the same group of characters? Are the PCs going to be skilled combatants, or normal people trying to survive in a world gone zombie?

Arrr, I heartily recommend, endorse, and encourage it me buckos. Yeah, it's good to take prisoners. It means the PCs won't always fight to the bitter end even if they're obviously losing, and contrawise, they'll take hostages instead of just murdering everyone. I always state to players that...

So, this Pirate is applying for a job at McDonalds, and the manager is interviewing him to be a fry cook. "Ah, so Captain Red-Beard, we're pretty concerned about worker-safety here at McDonalds. You seem qualified, but can I ask how you lost your leg?" "Arrr, I was sailin' round the Cape Horn...
