    The Illusion of Powergaming

    If a person who reads the books and optimizes his character "has no life outside the game", then I would think it's perfectly acceptable to assume that people who don't read up and power game are "lazy", or people could just stop making assumptions and accusations belittling others. But that...

    I HATE the term GISH

    all words are "completely made up" at some point. how many of you type out "FWIW" or "LOL" or even "IMHO" any of the other internet shortcuts? Why does "Gish" annoy you and not those others? Personally, those text-speak things get my hackles up far more.

    180 over 5 years, is still a small selection compared to DDM over the same period

    Non-random D&D Miniatures

    I count 62 minis on that military page. Is that how many were release overall? In a year? Because that still follows the "Merric's Laws" There are over 180 DDM's released in a year.

    Guns, D&D, and DDM

    I don't want them personally. I didn't used to care if they made them or didn't. After filling up my ignore list on Wizards with the pro-D&D gun zealots, I am now voting to never have them in the game.

    The need for social skills in D&D

    I'm all for granting bonsues and such for "giving a good speech"...as long as I'm able to get bonuses when I bust a chair over someone's back to show how I dropped that Orc Chieftain. More seriously, some bonuses are fine, but I agree that your CHARACTERS CHA should have something to do with it...

    Weapons you wished you'd see sometimes.

    I don't care what kind of weapons people use. The game is all about fun. If they decide it's fun for everyone to use a longsword, or a hand axe or a club, it's all good with me. In my never humble opinion, why should people be forced to use non-standard or sub-optimal weapons? Just have the...

    Rent-A-DM

    There has been many times I would have considered paying for a good DM. The problem is finding that someone. We have quite a few people that want to play, but no one that wants to DM.

    Favorite WotC minis?

    Horned Devil or Large Green Dragon are my favorites as far as looks. Death Slaad will always hold a place in my heart for skirmishing with, as will Storm for leading my warband in the sealed qualifier.
