    Ways to tell if one of your players might be a DM/GM

    For example, you might suspect your player is also a GM if he -writes 13 700 word character background for you. Like I just did... The DM said everyone who writes a background for their character gets 350XP. I do know for a fact that a one-page description would have sufficed. So I got around...

    I'm not looking for books, but congratulations on the soon-to-be happy occasion!

    IIHF World Championships - Saying no to your country

    I understand all of the points you make, and I do agree if that is what's actually going on, I just kind of feel that sometimes they are used as excuses (tiredness/injuries/etc) if the player doesn't feel he wants to play after the season. But I can't really blame them, I doubt anyone would even...

    [May] What are you reading?

    After seeing the previous post, I am practically forced to now post that I'm currently reading Wizard and Glass by S. King.

    IIHF World Championships - Saying no to your country

    I've no idea how many of you over here are into hockey or know the world ch'ships are on again, but I felt there was a rather good article on the IIHF web page I'd like to share and receive comments on: Saying no to your country I personally kind of understand if someone doesn't feel compelled...

    \m/ The Metal \m/

    ppaladin beat me to it :) the song immediately started playing in my head when I saw the topic. I'd also like to mention that if I heard someone over here describing metal music as a guilty pleasure, I'd be speechless, since metal is easily one of the most popular forms of music here.

    Should A Paladin's Holy Weapon Be Limited To Swords?

    I see no reason for swords-only... Maces and hammers come off easily as Holy Weapons. I don't see any other reasons for banning other types except for setting reasons.

    Alternative names for "Hit Points"

    A medal you shall receive nevertheless, albeit not a physical one. :) And now that you mention it, I might've read where ka had been taken from, a foreword perhaps, but clearly if I have, I had also forgot about it. Thank you, for I am now one word wiser.

    Are roleplaying characters just lucky (in contrast to protagonists in other media)?

    Just recently I heard of a session where the party was saved by a lucky shot with an arrow that practically turned the tide of the battle, since it slaid a particulary tough enemy. I don't remember what particular monster it was, but the hit was a critical I guess. I started thinking about how...

    WoTC "social networking" integration with EN World?

    They weren't kidding about the sig, the combat sheet looked quite handy. Bookmarked, and will print once I get to abuse a printer.

    Alternative names for "Hit Points"

    Hit Points is a soundly established name that has gone a long way, so I don't really see a reason to change it just for the sake of change. If and when I come across other names in other systems, fine, I have no trouble, sometimes the names do give a different feel to the game, but usually if...

    3D: Dramatic Damage Reduction

    I've noticed that if my players feel they are in a pinch, they might slip into meta-gaming a bit, and were I to use these kinds of descriptions, I'd need to wary that my players won't mix damage reduction with regeneration. Of course, there's nothing wrong with them making a few good blows...

    Wiki for my Campaign

    I'm using wikispaces dot com at the moment. For free, it offers 2GB of space. It's good enough for me, because I just mostly use it for textual descriptions. But if you use loads of high quality pictures, it might not be enough.

    Class Idol FINAL Round: The Ultimate Battle

    Voted for Fighter, because of the sheer simplistic joy of RPing your basic human fighter. That's where everything started.

    Monsters as PCs

    I so like the sound of that. I was once was asked if I'd like to join a game my friend's friend was DMing (the game is still going on). I heard he was a pretty decent at it, but had a tendency to play D&D as a pretty much as a simple dungeon crawl, which I hear was not the case with other...

    Your Biggest Time Sucks

    Oh man, I didn't know Playmaker was back and improved... I just know how this is going to end, I'm going to take a "brief glance" at it and the next thing I know, It's Monday. Yeah, I'll probably have to hop on the wagon and say Reading enworld. More often than not I just lurk around and read...
