I used to poll my players, and found it really useful. I gave out a 50exp bonus to everyone who contributed - enough to make it worth while, but not enough to put those who didn't at a great disadvantage. I also wrote a report on the feedback I had got, and a lot of the players said they found...

I don't think any PC has died in my gaming group for about 2 years of weekly games. That includes games I GM and ones that others GM. I know all the arguments about creating tension and excitement through the risk of losing a PC, and would agree with them on the most part. However our group...

I second that.

I use my attic for gaming, and so have been able to build a dedicated gaming table. Instead of a battlemap I have a 3 foot by 3foot peice of reinforced glass in the centre of the table - with a grid drawn out underneath it. You can draw on it with dry erase markers - even perminant markers...

I don't know if its because we don't have a gun culture in the UK, but I can't think of any reason I'd actually want to buy this book. I mean how many different combinations of d10 +1/+2/+3/+4 and various range settings can you put into a book? Or is my ignorance showing?

I'd like to announce my new spycraft campaign website is up and open for business. We haven't actually started playing yet, but I've created the site in order to whip up a little enthusiasm among my group. I'm intending the campaign to start out as a regular spy type affair, but quickly...

In Nomine was french orrignally, before it got adapted by SJG. Games workshop (winner of "the most irritating shop assistants award for 3 years in a row") is English. In the world of comics the majority of the respected guys (rightly or wrongly) are english - Gaiman, Moore, Ennis, Morrison...

It all just smacks of a publicity stunt to me. Similar in style as Heresay's repalcement band member (now surely your not telling me that heresay are just a english band? With all that talent how could they not be international!;) ) I just can't see how they could possibly read them all...

That's a really nice looking site! I like the agency name generator especially - it would have been very useful to me a couple of months ago when I was creating my campaign. I'm currently in the process of creating a spycraft site - but I won't spread the word just yet as I'm currently bashing...

Speaking from past experience here (I'm a psychiatric nurse), and with no actual evidence to back me up (although I do recall reading some research on it somewhere) Smoking pot makes you more likely to develop mental health problems, especially schizophenia. But if you are going to have your...

www.orcsnest.com is a roleplaying shop based in London that also does mailorder. Although I've never actually ordered from them I have had a few email conversations with them and they have been very helpful indeed. It's been I while since I lived up in the north east, but I remeber Newcastle...

I've heard quite a few people talk about using an agents department to reflect where they started their career rather than the actual department that they were trained in. This appeals to me, the agency my PC's are going to work in is just not big enough to have departments. Here are some...

I'm a mental health nurse (psychiatric nurse) and the sections on mental health problems in roleplaying books often amuse/irritate me. I know this is going to sound hideously right on, and I'm not trying to prescribe what people should or should not do in their roleplaying campaigns, but I...

I'd be interested, but as Mr T once so beautifully put it: "I aint flying fool!" UK only for me, coundn't justify the cost otherwise.

Well, speaking personally I would like a system of creating characters which is flexible enough to give the character any power he wishes, not just a set list of: Run fast, shoot beam, grow big ect.

I considered doing a paper on this while i was at university, but decided there was too much of a risk of me going into some sort of geek rant which the lecturer would not comprehend. Be warned, I know people who did essays on stuff they were into as a hobby (i.e. punk) and they lost a lot of...

There is a shop directly over the road from me that has weekly specials on various items, so when my players come over they invariably stop over in order to buy snacks. This leads to some intersting game menus as they all have an eye for a bargin. For example in last weeks session I had...

I was wondering, do some people object to having picures in the .sig? I don't want to annoy anyone too much (but I do like my little pigeon:) ) (edited fo spelling)
