    Any female game masters?

    I dunno...Dungeon Mistress sounds like something that goes along with black leather, whips, and boots. :) Not that that's a bad thing, mind you...but it DOES tend to veer things away from D&D! :lol:

    Any female game masters?

    My wife runs Gaslight Cthulhu and does a killer job (pun intended). ;)

    Businesses saying keep the rowdy children at home.

    Parents who don't teach respect and cultivate discipline are doing their children a grave disservice. As I've told my youngest, we (her mom and I) come down on her for her bad behavior for a number of reasons, and one of them is that it's better to have people who love and care for you be the...

    Businesses saying keep the rowdy children at home.

    Personally, I lump the parents who won't lift a finger to at least try and control their spawn in the same category as people who: Park in handicap spaces Cut in line very deliberately Block an entire lane of traffic so they can talk to a friend of theirs who's standing at the curb People who...

    What *is* it about paladins that makes people nutty, anyway?

    Here are some observations, not in any order, but mostly knee-jerk reactions to the whole "paladin" thing, as well as to a plethora of the posts here so far: 1. I love playing Paladins. It's my favorite class. 2. I think Paladins are a hot button because of many people's inborn sense of...

    Sense Motive: Walking Polygraph Machines?

    Hilarity ensues when a players says his PC will Sense Motive, so you make the roll behind the screen, the PC fails, the NPC is actually on the up and up, and the PC thinks the NPC is hiding something! :lol: What makes it funnier is if TWO PCs do a Sense Motive, you make the rolls secretly...

    Forgotten Realms: Do players care about canon?

    I've been running an FR campaign for years. I follow canon, but I tend to downplay the idiotic aspects. I guess that it helps that I avoid sweeping, civilization-affecting situations or Great Crises, and instead just focus on a region and what's going on THERE. But, for instance, the Silver...

    You know you're playing too much when. . .

    YESSS! We have that too! Other examples: It's a hot day, and someone says "Turn on the AC". What? You want me to turn on the Armor Class? I don't swing that way! There's a product here with the initials DND in the product name.... There've been times when I've been looking for something, only...

    Harper-based storyline? Help!

    One of the interesting wrinkles I've thrown into the game is the whole Harper schism that WotC has brought to light. You have Khelbun Blackstaff with his splinter group, the Moonstars. If I recall recent history correctly, there was a strong disagreement over the ideas of allying with evil folks...

    Businesses saying keep the rowdy children at home.

    I agree, JD. The "No-kids" thing, IMO, is based on common sense experience...kids as a rule make noise and haven't quite learned how to behave, and unfortunately not all parents consider it important that they learn this. Kids by their very nature are immature...that's why they're kids. Some...

    (Win pdf books!) Week 1 complete. Click in first post for link to the week 2 thread.

    There are two instances I can think of where even having some sort of dead-raising magic is not a guarantee of undoing a death. As the comedian said, "Stop me if you've heard this one." 1. Steveroo mentioned the reluctance of some gods raising people who are antithetical to their ethos. That's...

    Businesses saying keep the rowdy children at home.

    People, please!!! All this mean bickering is giving me a big case of ambiance denial! :p OK, anyways....for what it's worth, here's my opinion/reactions. Bear in mind I'm a dad/grizzled veteran of four kids....current ages 18-10. 1. I can pay money at a batting cage and swing a baseball bat...

    How would you respond to someone like this?

    If any fighter in my campaign tried the example quoted at the thread beginning (and even the rant is assuming that some suppositions come to pass, never a sure thing IMO), and ended up tipping the balance unduly, I'd have a fix in mind. HINT: Raiders of the Lost Ark, marketplace standoff scene...

    Rogues stealing from their own party

    That Roguely MacStealingstuff is a real turd. He stole my Arrow of Undead Slaying an hour before I needed to use it on the lich that was handing the party their butts!!! :mad: And his name was such a giveaway! Why oh why didn't I pick up on that hint? ;)
