    [Feb05] What are you reading?

    I am rereading the Fire & Ice series (skipping Daeny's chapters, much better that way), and am almost done. I am also reading Pompeii and am looking forward to starting Robin's Laws Of Good Game Mastering in the next few days. I need to find a new author for Fantasy, I am getting tired of old...

    How do you deal with instant death?

    And me. From time to time it is OK, but as a player, my least favorite way to die is insta kills. Knock my hit points away, let me slip off of a cliff, chop my head off for committing some hanious crime, but disintegrate just sucks. On the other hand if a PC wizard leans the spell and is...

    Does Anyone Come Into D&D 'Cold'?

    I came in cold to every system I ever learned. There were only 3 of us gaming and we all learned together.

    AMEN Brother. If I lived within 50 miles of her, I would do it myself.

    DMG II - tidbits from Andy Collins!

    Funny you should mention it, my copy was delivered from Amazon thi morning. I also cannot see WotC putting out a high quality book designed to running a better game. I sure it will be scattered with optional rules for obscure things and new lists of DCs for thousands of tasks, but I don't see...

    A Feast for Crows Update.

    IMO, it can be, but since I have not read the blurb in question, I can't say if it indeed was in this instance. I couldn't even say what characters were in the chapter. If I remember correctly it was about the Greyjoy Clan and their thread in the story.

    Do we coddle new Players?

    Yep, give new players an extra yard if they need it. If you are playing football with your kid, you don't level tham as hard as you can. New players do not always understand the dynamics of the game or the extent of their characters abilities. Making PC's in 3.5 is very time consuming and...

    Campaign Setting outline

    Don't forget to add technology to your list. IMO, for what you are atempting, I would stick to the old KISS system. A toatl fluff world DOES NOT need everything spelled out. For instance instead of putting specific political agendas I would rather see a more flexable description of things...

    Iron Bands of Bilarro and Coup de Grace?

    I would see the slaying of the the helpless as evil, unless the PCs are working on behalf the law and have been given the right to sentence the perp to death. There may be exceptions as you noted, but I hardly believe you will find a use like that on a daily or regular basis.

    Iron Bands of Bilarro and Coup de Grace?

    Actually thousands of inferences are made when playing any game with written rules. Different people bring varying levels of experience, reading comprehension and cultural knowledge to the game with them. It can never be seperated and the authors of rules depend on that in order to keep the...

    A Feast for Crows Update.

    One thing made me nervous about the release of that chapter. GRRM said he could release the chapter because it did not overly relate to the plot of the book and had no spoilers. To me, that translated into a chapter with nothing but fluff without much context. It reminded me of Jordan. I did...

    Special Edition Predators -- worth getting?

    NO. I have not seen them, but what would be compelling enough to buy another copy of the same movie? A behind the scene look at special effects over 10 years old would be dull. I doubt you get a commentary on film making and camera work like in Braveheart. I can't see actor inerviews being...

    American Dad sucked hard

    I think Fox should run this right before the next new show they launch. After people finish watching this piece of crap they will love whatever the new program is that much more.

    Chicago Gameday X: the awesome aftermath

    I have had problems with my design materials and took a break. I am still willing to run the boardgame Talisman if Curt will lend it to us or the game Titan, which I own. I have not played Titan in years and have seen it on Ebay for $90+. So I wouldn't mind playing it again to see if it is...
