The only thing I genuinely want to see in 4E is a title page that says "First Printing: August 2010."

Dropping by a bit late, but thought I'd give my two-cents worth. I was a member of the old RPGA (member # 18996), and I loved the old Polyhedron (my oldest issue is #12). It was my impression that the RPGA was there to organize and promote gaming and keep gamers in contact with each other. If...

Undead ARE groovy...and man, I dig graves!!! :lol:

Well, granted, I was using a bit of hyperbole there. :D My point is that I've always believed that, as a DM, I should not take any heroic measures to shield PCs from death, but that also I shouldn't "gun" after PCs either, and set them up with a Kobiyashi Maru situation. Those who've played...

Count me in as someone who can't understand why some folks find AoO difficult. It really does address certain points that I found ludicrous in past editions. If you're standing next to an enemy and you're taking the time to drink a potion or read a scroll, hey, guess what...the baddie isn't just...

Here's the rules/observations that I've incorporated into my DMing style over the past few decades: 1. "Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you." There will be times when the players will walk all over me, but there will be times that I'll walk all over them. As long as it's a...

Oh, one other word of advice: Avoid playing computer games, for they are subtle and quick to devour your free time. As for online games, doubly so!!!!! :::Just can't bring myself to delete Master of Magic off my hard drive:::

Wow...Gary Gygax AND Frank Mentzer are here? Dang...I'm extremely glad I joined this site! Pardon me while I slip into Adoring Fanboy Geek Mode (tm) Gary: Never had the pleasure of actually meeting you face to face despite the number of GenCons I've been to, but I, too, want to chime in with...

Well, here's what worked for me... I got my start by writing for Dragon Magazine back in the mid-80's. Basically, I approached then-editor Roger Moore and said "What aren't people writing about that you'd like to see written for Dragon?" So...I wound up writing a few articles for Top Secret...

Ah....Smurfs! Is there anything they CAN'T do? I've used this handle on several different forums (Rotten Tomatoes comes to mind). My wife and I have tried to put together an icon showing a Smurf with one thumb up his nose and the other up his butt, all the while doing that vacant, open-mouthed...

:D Thanks! I enjoyed writing that part of the adventure!!!! Thing is, I've always had a weird sense of humor and the folks at TSR knew that at the time...so I guess that would explain why I was recruited for doing a level of Castle Greyhawk. But even among my feelings of "Hurrah! A paying gig...

What about incurring the wrath of the Gods of Pigs? I mean, cats have Bast to champion them, so why can't pigs have Arnold Ziffel and his consort MissPiggy?? The possibilities are endless!

I was at a local con recently (www.ogc-con.com) and I ran some Call of Cthulhu adventures (the classic system, not that d20 garbage). The adventure started with a professor at Miskatonic University giving a lecture on pre-Christian cults. During his lecture, he's supposed to go insane, rip out...

OK, regarding "Castle Greyhawk"...let me just say this...in the words of a lot of defendants at Nuremburg: "We were just following orders." I'm new on this forum, but not new to RPing. My name's John Terra and I've written a butt-load (official unit of measurement) of TSR/WEG stuff from about...

::waves:: Hello....yes, I'm new here. My friend and co-worker who sits in the cubicle next to mine (a fellow gamer! Huzzah!) showed me this site and I just had to join up. My real name is John, and my claim to supposed fame is that I wrote a lot of gaming stuff for TSR and West End Games...
