Wormy never did it for me...I was partial to Fineous Fingers!!! :D Nowadays, it's KoDT, Dork Tower, and Order of the Stick. I'd have to say OOTS is my new fave, with former front-runner KoDT running a close second.

Here's how I break it down: 1. Experience points are points awarded for your PC's experiences in the adventure. If you don't experience anything that session, why get any points? 2. Why must everyone be exactly the same level? As long as everyone's within a few levels, what's the problem? 3...

Devoted Red Sox fan here....Our pitching concerns me, though they do occasionally show some signs of hope. This upcoming three-game series against the Stinkees is going to be key.

INCIDENT #1 Chalk this one up to "Winning initiative too far ahead of the rest of the party isn't always a good thing." So in our current campaign the party is exploring a battered old ancestral keep. Now, at the time of this incident, the current party level was about, oh, third. In one...

I recall that the document outlining the proposal for WG7 being a sort of "fun", tongue-in-cheek proposal. We were supposed to read it over, fire off a proposal to Bruce Heard (Acquisitions, TSR) about what we wanted to do, and go from there. It was never presented as nothing more than "Here's a...

Dammmmmmnnnn.....some names there that I haven't heard from in a while. And I love it...I'm an "other". :p I recall excessive niftiness emanating from Scott B, Paul J and Greg G.

Baaaa ram ewe!

Hiya Scott! WAY long time no speak! Nice to see you around! As for a Realms parody, let's round up all of the WG7 folks and "do" the Realms! :] It's actually my favorite campaign setting (that's where we play nowadays), so it'd be a labor of love. I tended to avoid the politics around TSR, so...

I've been playing for 27 years. Every once in a while I pause, look back, and go "Holy Crap! Where's the time gone?" And the answer? "Gaming, you idiot! Where else!?" :p And speaking of feeling old, my daughter just started college today. And yet she still is making plans to be at our...

And if the dwarven cleric casts Detect Lie and catches someone in a falsehood, do they say "Stop lyin', will ya? You hoser! What to make us look bad, eh?"

You're very welcome! :D I'm a big fan of ST:TOS, and in fact, our group had a ST:RPG campaign (the game FASA came out with) at the time. Ah, the USS Valiant, NCC-1718 (at least according to FASA's "Ships of the Federation"). She was a fine ship. Oh, once I saw the topic title, I knew I HAD to...

Good point! ;)

I'm firmly in the camp of "withholding XP is not punishment; awarding XP is a reward." If one of my players can't make it, the PC is simply not played. We don't end sessions in media res, so there's never a "OK, let's freeze the battle till next time, whoops so-and-so's not gonna be there." This...

Excellent! :D Well, thing is, it was not good business for freelancers to refuse work. You could run the risk of being painted as someone who wasn't really interested in doing freelancing very much. And if you were busy trying to build up your credits and increase your visibility, you grabbed...

Huzzah! :D And I shall endeavor to avoid participating in organized suckage in the future!

The three books that I consult religiously are: Monster Manual I Dangerous Denizens And whatever the heck the d20 Ravenloft monster book is called...I forget.

Fascinating. I can see the merit in that, even without the benefit of alcohol. Is there also Perform (write name in snow using "number one")? Or would that take up a language slot? And, on a related note, since monkeys fling dookie, would that be considered a ranged attack, and are there any...

There was this guy in our campaign whose Barbarian blasted a dookie in the sarcophagus of a lich that had tormented the party for many sessions. Despite his lack of ranks in Craft (dump), and even though I didn't have my bowel capacity/colon effectivness charts, and furthermore had forgotten to...

Well said. ToEE and GDQ rocked butt. I love 'em. Those adventures became my template for writing my own stuff for my campaigns. And, in all seriousness, the idea that many people bought WG7 thinking that it was a serious adventure, only to be disappointed and hosed, does indeed bother me. TSR...

As a rule, I don't do ethnic accents, but here's my breakdown of how I roleplay each speech, for what it's worth: Gnomes: Speaking rapidly, with a nasal accent. Lots of run-on sentences, jumping from topic to topic like a squirrel on crack. Tangent city, man... Dwarves: Gruff, short sentences...
