    For those that drink, what's your poison of choice?

    I'll go with beer, with my beer of choice being a Texas brew called Shiner Bock. Can't stand most mainstream beers, and most of the imports I've tried have come from across the border, Mexico. As to a hard liquor, its usually rum and coke.

    Jury Duty

    I've been called for jury duty three times. The last time, I thought I was a shoo in for the actual jury, being the 6th seat in the jury pool. But because the plaintiff was foreign born and didn't speak english very well, I got off because at times I can almost lose my hearing. So basically I...

    Favorite Adventure Type?

    I chose a perfect mix. Yeah, there are days when roleplaying is a drag, and I just want mindless slaughter, and other days when the muse in me likes to dazzle with words. But normally I'm somewhere inbetween, and can usually have fun in either case. Though combat does play a greater role in most...

    Monsters that turn out very fun.

    From the MM3 there is a little beasty called a Runehound. That things combination of excellent defense and offense, with DR 5/silver and Fast Healing 3, coupled with a 10 foot reach attack and a breath weapon, make it a very formidable opponent. My players really had difficulty taking the...

    Your first car

    The first car I had was in high school my parents bought it for me a '89 Cheverolet Corsica, purchased in December of '95. Man I ran that thing into the ground, in the two years I owned it. But being a pizza delivery guy can do that to car (expecially the way I drive). The first car I bought...

    DMG II: Buying?

    Don't know yet, with funding problems these days, I gotta make sure I want it before I buy it.

    D&D Dice Survivor! Yeah!

    Well I don't have that link, but mister Aristotle said gave the elements all symbols (they look like dice). And the d12 is the all of heaven. Here's his take on everything. Tetrahedron (d4) = Fire Octahedron (d8) = Air Isosahedron (d20) = Water Cube (d6) = Earth Dodecahedron (d12) = Cosmos or...

    How long do your battles take

    Usually they take about 10-20 minute, but lately (because the baddies were undead, and the cleric had the sun domain), and some very good rolls on the turn checks, the undead were dust by the second round. My group runs with alot of tactics and some descriptions for combat. If anyone slows...

    Your approach to rules

    I voted 30 seconds, but am willing to waste 5 minutes to get it right. I hate screwing up something because (good or bad) it unbalanced the game later, so in this case I like to ere on the cautious side. But it usually don't take longer than a minute.

    Do You Title Your Sessions?

    I usually give the adventure a title, not a session. Of course I rarely tell the PCs what it is, but it does help my record keeping.

    When in doubt, follow the rules

    Your absolutely 100% right. I get asked this question at least once a night (another DM allows this). And I think this guy thinks I'll let him do it, though right now he doesn't have a rogue (or even a rogue in the party), so the question only pops up every other night.

    The Screen

    I never use a screen (though I tried it in my 2e days), also I role out in the open (except for special rolls, like, oh I don't know, no I really can't think of a reason to hide the role).

    What D&D race are you?

    Physically: I couldn't be mistaken for anything but a human (6'1" 210 lbs.) My appearance is almost the proto-typical human warrior (I could use some more muscle though). Personality: An off sense of humor and silliness, coupled with an often strange thought process, gnome makes the most sense.

    Testament: The Hittites

    Hey you stole my idea :p . But I was gonna keep the bronze age tech, with the Hobgoblin/Hittites as the only iron users. Oh yeah, thanks for the heads up, I think I'll be heading over to RPGNow now.

    Gamers NOT born in 1974!

    Yeah '88, for some reason I remember it quite vividly (not many years do I remember vividly), but '88 is one of them. Anyways, though I was 10 for most of that year, the math is simple, 11 years before that year I was born (1977 for the math impaired, like me).

    I've got a rep!

    My players don't have character builds, they ignore feat chains and the like, why because their character can die just around the corner (happens alot). But I'm not exactly known as a killer DM Traps, there everywhere. Magic items are few and far apart, you have to learn to treasure them...

    Which core races have you played in 3.5?

    Darn it to Heck. You said 3.5, and I put Half-Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Half-Orc. I should drop that list only to Gnome and Half-Orc. As the others were played in 3.0. I usually DM, which is why my list is short.

    Best Bond title song?

    Though most of the Bond songs are good, I gotta go with Goldfinger, its the only one I can belt off to the detriment to all other around.

    The final "How old are you?" thread

    1977 and um...no not really proud of it. At the young edge of what appears to be the average.

    DMs only: Do you actually track numbers behind your screen?

    Yes, I actually keep track of those esoteric digits, why because this DM's mind likes to wander, and its hard enough keeping track of numbers on a piece of paper, let alone trying to make something on the fly. But of course I'm more than willing to play with those digits in the heat of the...
