    What type of player are you?

    I'm definatly a storyteller, but wait you could also call me a method actor. And ever so often I become a tactician. But a power gamer or a butt-kicker I am not (I got video games for that)

    Tactics for a Dragon

    Dragon has the scent ability right (ahg.. can't remeber), anyways scent ability always beats invisiblity. Just move in the direction of the smell, and whalla, your blindsight kicks in. (thats how I did it one time, can't remeber what creature, tho)

    What's great about D&D!

    Yeah, I'll admit I really miss the fun. That escapism that D&D offers, that no other avenue can quite compete with. Definatly not TV, or even partying (mainly because I'm usually drunk), and computer and console games just get old. D&D always, even on slow nights, manages to put a smile on my face.

    Psionics -- why do people bother?

    Psionics as a whole I love, the concept of bending and manipulating things with your will alone, just rocks. But should you use psionics in conjuction with normal magic. You quickly find out that they are a tacted on system with no support. No campaign setting (excluding Dark Sun which is 2e...

    D&D vs. Real Life

    In D&D I tend to be the voice of reason, saying not to do something In real life, people say I'm impulsive and crazy, these same people say they'll never ride a vehicle I'm driving (but there's no accidents on my record)

    Campagin world design help!

    Stick with humans being in charge. With the time period gotta have the Prohibition. I mean Al Capone as a dragon (they make good thugs) would keep players toes inline, even if they don't know he's one. Might make a change of pace, when it Eliot Ness tries to bring him down. For the most part...

    Female DM's

    I've never met a female DM, and only had the opportunity to play with a female player once in a 2ed game I was running, which she obviously didn't take to; probably because the group I was DMing wasn't too keen on roleplaying, which is what she alluded as what she wanted to do. I really feel I...

    Green Ronin to come out with Egypt sourcebook

    Hey man, two words, duck tape. Your flimsy cardSTOCK allows me to more easily purchase it. All my old box sets have been onced over by the stuff. (does that make me a redneck, lets see family from hills, live in Texas, use duck tape; uh oh maybe)

    Prep Time Vs. Play Time

    Most of the time I spend less time on the preparing the night, than the actual game night (my player's would probably kill me if they found out). Though I spend an inordinate amount of time on preparing the campaign in general, why because I'm always looking to improve the setting, giving it...

    Your gaming experience: are expectations matching the reality?

    Most of the time I come in the game expecting the same old thing, and thats what I normally get. Though I always love it when the completely unexpected happens. Especially when I DM.

    Have you ever finished a campaign?

    Never finished a complete campaign. Usually die because of atrition of people playing. Tho. Nearly, finished a planescape campaign one time, but I let a friend dm; and he killed the party, and I just didn't have the heart to resurrect hte party. And none of the player's really wanted to either.

    Orctopia?

    Orcs in my campaigns have ranged from saints to villians, and everything in between. I love orcs and they've made an appearance in every campaign I've ran, (with the exception of Dark Sun). My current campaign (if it ever gets off the ground, why do people have their own lives to live), has...

    Hmm. Psionics. What is that at all?

    Mechanically, there is no difference, psionics is just another form of magic. However, psionics does brings a new flavor to wet your appetite. With power points and the psionic feats, you can make the more mundane character races (humans and halflings) have a more supernatural and exotic feel...
