    Take, take, and take and never DM. What do players bring to a gaming group?

    Is that after all you've snarked at me over the years, one of us should probably put the other on Ignore.

    The most disturbing thing youve seen/experienced

    My entire relationship with my ex-wife, from beginning to horrible end; as seen in hind-sight from a position of sanity. That I didn't kick her out of my house shortly after she moved in, that I let her move in in the first place, that we got engaged, then married. The entire marriage to a...

    Take, take, and take and never DM. What do players bring to a gaming group?

    I run something more than a "Go to point A, Kill Monster B" game. There is an actual PLOT involved. If that kind of game doesn't interest you, that's fine. But I'm no longer interested in running anything less. Any fool can string together a bunch of random encounters and a magic shop and...

    What To Do with Player?

    "When you joined this group, you were told that the PCs were Good and Noble. You agreed to play a Good or Neutral PC. You didn't do this. You acted Evil, you acted Stupid. When you first join a new group, whether that be a gaming group, a new job, or any social club, you are effectively a...

    What are your thought on the Mystic Theurge?

    What everyone else said. Saw one played from 7th to 10th level. Lots of spells, never seemed to run out, but none of the higher level spells you'd expect in a higher level group. The Player's favorite expression was "I'll have that next level".

    Take, take, and take and never DM. What do players bring to a gaming group?

    Bingo. Came close to quitting gaming altogether last weekend because I was extremely frustrated with my group playing possum. Five guys sitting around staring at each other, looking confused. At the very least, they could have started by discussing what had happened and what they thought was...

    song parodies

    Now I wish that I could find the words I wrote about six years ago. Based on Alan Parson's Project "Can't Take It With You", but changed to be about our HelpDesk. And this morning I was thinking of a parody of "A Man of Constant Sorrow" (from the movie "O Brother..."), changed to "A Man of...

    How many people do you have on ignore? (No names!)

    Gak! Wow. I sure hope that you're kidding. :confused: Heck, even in the desolate wasteland that is UseNet, I only have perhaps a half-dozen or so folks on Ignore/Auto-Delete.

    How far should the party hang back from the scout?

    I guess that I've been fortunate that, while I've played with a pretty good number of GMs, none of them has ever been the vindictive bastard that decides that he needs to deliberately kill off the scout with traps or special monsters designed to do just that. Divinations. Great, but sometimes...

    help the new guy, really

    So it turns out that we were exactly right about your question. Big surprise. Anyway; As I said, a Kineticist can give a GM fits. I have one in the game I run and it tends to make things very difficult for me, as he can deal some serious damage to a lot of enemies with Energy Missile, which...

    Need help picking powers

    As Cedric said. You are out of line and downright insulting. Your post has been reported as such.

    Need help picking powers

    I guess I read that differently and thus don't see the point of two posts suggesting otherwise. I'm not your kid.

    Need help picking powers

    You still haven't really answered the question. What kind of Psion? Kineticist, Egoist, Nomad, WHAT??? If your GM can deal with it and you like playing a pure blaster, go Kineticist. I'm come close to pulling out my hair over the one I have in my game (Energy Missile is arguably over-powered...

    [Michael Palin voice] Oh what a give away! [/Michael Palin voice] And too too funny.

    How far should the party hang back from the scout?

    First off, don't fall into "set distance". If your party is walking in the dark with a lantern and heavy armor, etc, they're noticable from quite a long distance away. Having the Scout be 20', 30', even 100' in front of them ends up being a joke. Like a game I ran a few years ago where people...

    D&D 3.x Are 3.5 Warlocks unbalancing?

    Haven't seen one as a PC yet, just have run them as NPCs and Villains. So I can't add much other than to generally agree with the above. They might seem over-powered up front, but in real action they tend to prove rather limited. A decent GM won't be flustered by the fact that you can do one...

    I'm a bad DM

    What it comes down to, whether you think it's just a hobby, or just a game, or a trivial thing... Is respect, appreciation and an understanding that the other people involved are people too. They're making you a part of their life by gaming with you, just as people are doing by hanging out...

    Whats your best/coolest names for pc's or BBEG

    Currently; Artemis Mourn is the expected villain at present. Da'krit is the "Right Claw of the King of the Hills", a Kobold Sorcerer. Tengo is someone they haven't run into yet. Muuk was a half-Orc non-mook servant of Artemis until the group killed him. Kandrick (a warlock) Edgar Thrawn...
