    What's your Best Gimmick?

    Lost Store? How about a Lost Floor? An entire level (or sub-level) that an elevator can be taken to ... but only if the key to unlock its button can be found. Maybe the reason for going to the mall is to get the perfect Mother's (or Father's) Day gift? Riffing on that, maybe a mad...

    GNS - which are you?

    I guess for me, it's the difference between using off the shelf software and coding my own. I could code my own solutions, and have tailor made results, but the off the shelf solutions are more in line with the amount of effort I can put forth in my situation. Thus, I think we concur. They both...

    GNS - which are you?

    I like Robin's Laws better than GNS for it's terms in defining the problems I have at the game table. Robin's Laws point me towards practical things I can fix. GNS tells me that I'm simply not playing the game that best suits my preferences. I don't have the luxury of playing with a group of...

    GNS - which are you?

    And that's the point that I never seem to remember when describing this to other people, i.e., that it defines instances of play, not people. That said, everyone should at this point, I think, treat the poll/question as a preferred or most often encountered mode when playing D&D. If one wants to...

    GNS - which are you?

    Articles are arranged here. I prefer the articles on Fantasy Heartbreakers; it brings to light a great exercise that most of us have tried: reworking D&D to our own fashion and examining what we changed and what we kept to better understand what we want from games.

    GNS - which are you?

    Playing Devil's Advocate, he goes on to state in other articles that System (the rules of a gaming system) do matter. Thus, in a game where 'Gamism' is focused on, like D&D, Gamist values tend to be at the forefront. I really don't want to attack or defend anybody, though. I brought this up...

    NC Game Day VII - April 23!

    I'd be willing to chip in on a Gameday cell phone. Usually this would be a sarcastic remark, but I'm actually being serious. How much would it cost to get a phone and only buy minutes right before the Gameday?

    NC Game Day VII - April 23!

    Either Maatkare or Toutbane for me (Planescapes RPG). I'm there for the BBQ, hot dogs, etc. I have an ample supply of bratwursts, should I bring those as well? (This is a question for the masses, as I've already noted the large text font stating to bring whatever I want in addition to what's...

    [HARP] Back to the Dungeon [Full]

    My workplaced has decided (correctly so) that bulletin boards reduce productivity from their workers. I've steathfully logged in to a remote machine (my home) and posted this message. I can only look at these boards on the weekends, and on those days I haven't the time to continue any sort of...
