    Anyone have effective closet gamer detection methods?

    I'm telling you, we need our own parade... Game Pride Day. "We game! We're lame! Get used to it!" J/K, of course. I'm sure I'll get flamed for my attempt at self-deprecating humor anyhow...

    What would survive?

    There are a lot of books about post-apocalyptic worlds, but there's one I liked that I read a long time ago. I don't remember the title or author, but I do remember that the survivors lived off of canned goods for a while because they didn't know how to grow their own food. After a while, there...

    What (else) got the shaft in 3E?

    Giants. Actually it's more like they screwed them up. Look in the 3rd edition Monster Manual: Ogre "Adult ogres stand 9 to 10 feet tall and weigh 300 to 350 pounds." average hp = 26 Hill Giant "Adults are about 10 1/2 feet tall and weigh about 1,100 pounds." average hp = 102 Okay... So...

    Do you recall a nostalgic D&D picture/illustration?

    Anything by Jeff Dee, especially the cover of S2: White Plume Mountain and all the gods he did in 1st edition Deities & Demigods, but really anything. I also like most of the monsters in the 1st edition Monster Manual. There is also a great picture in I1: Dwellers of the Forbidden City where a...

    Number of Buildings in a Village, Town, City, etc.

    If you are staging this campaign in a medieval-type setting, you'll have to keep in mind that health care was not readily available or nearly as developed as it is today. The infant mortality rate was very high. In some cases, half the children of a couple could die in the first year of life due...

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    What started out as a cheesy topic has led me to think about ways to bring in more female gamers into the hobby. Perhaps if there were more loans available to women who wanted to start a hobby shop that would help bring more female gamers in. The same should apply for women trying to start up...

    DM's Request: How to run politics?

    Listen to Piratecat. Those are very good points! When you're playing power politics in a game, it's important to put everyone into different factions in one way or another. Each person has their own objective and plans to reach their objective. You may want to know that ancient Rome was a...

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    Re: Re: Are hobby shops like porn shops? Ahem, speaking theoretically, of course... :) But the similarities are amazing, aren't they? I'm also surprised nobody's started flaming on me yet, but I think I was careful in not being too explicit.

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    People, the fact that hobby shops and porn shops have a lot of similarities is not necessarily a good thing. :)

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    I forgot: 8. Lots of magazines and books with scantily-clad females on the cover.

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    A lot of hobby shops are like porn shops because: 1. They are full of bearded men and pimply teenage boys. 2. Everything you buy is discreetly put in a brown paper bag or black plastic bag. 3. A lot of people browse around the shelves but don't buy. 4. It's eerily quiet in the store. 5...

    Should D&D be more American?

    OT: I have to say Morrus, your counter turned out quite handsome and rugged-looking. Pretty cool! :D

    [Completly OT] Xbox or PS2?

    Yeah, but how many DVDs do you think I'll play before I know the PS2 DVD player is not that good and the warranty expires? Sure, if I play a couple of DVDs and it's no good I'll return it. But if I think it's working well and then down the road, a couple of DVDs I really want to play don't work...
