    DM - Adversarial or Permissive?

    To OP: Nice that things went well. Generally speaking I don't like situations where players are imprisoned/threatened with political stuff/get to court for judgement. They are usually bit boring, and many DM:s I've played with kinda get negative reaction from players. They are not bad plot...

    How do you store your gaming things?

    Books go to shelves. Magazines in boxes for upright storing mostly or shelves too. Boxed sets are mostly stored inside closet. Another side is filled with clothes rather unruly and other side is devoted for boxes and various binders and things I didn't find room to put into shelves. I have lot...

    Does Belief in Fictional Realms Cause Fictional Realms to Become Real, Physical Place

    Hehe if you want to see fiction about something like that. Look Torchwood latest series (american version). Suddenly people can't die anymore storyline. I think it's meta-fiction is based on some fringe-ideas. If you actually want to see series I won't spoil more. I add however that few...

    Does Belief in Fictional Realms Cause Fictional Realms to Become Real, Physical Place

    Oh yes, I've gone through that kinda shapeshifting too. Though I think I suck since people still keep guessing my age totally wrong. And seem shocked when I tell what it is. Oh well. ;) About videos people keep removing them (gaining senses or likely after being flamed too much), so I can give...

    The Darker Side of Fey

    Feys are interesting creatures of myth, and I like to read stories about them, but I also find them depressing. In sense that I don't like to use them in rpg-games. Sometimes they make good match for horror themed games with bit slice of sadness, loss and evil in clothes of innocent. Myth...

    Does Belief in Fictional Realms Cause Fictional Realms to Become Real, Physical Place

    There are theories and there are beliefs. There are philosophical discussions, and defending your beliefs until you are blue in face or worse, make it a religion, or cult, or become one of those internet weirdos who post videos into youtube tellling how they are really shapeshifters but can't...

    "I don't like my Christmas present" -- do you enjoy getting treasure?

    Yep Celebrim. That's why I mean treasure was better in AD&D (there were more/it didn't matter that much after some basic weapons to hurt mobs). With 3rd edition modules however went to opposite, too little and too late (even if you find everything), and system was something where this kinda...

    "I don't like my Christmas present" -- do you enjoy getting treasure?

    Yes. But adventure paths give less gold than should be. If you have 6 players no way to have so much gold/level there should be. Not even for 4 players. And in some cases to even for 2 players. Not even if players find all treasures. Since many items are healing potions/scrolls that are meant to...

    Why do all the characters die in British TV?

    Mmh dunno I don't recall those. Some fillers are clever, yep, but most are really boring. That's where name comes. I don't recall those mentioned episodes, so I might find them good/waste of time. Well need to re-watch series sometime. It was not so great IMO, so might take some time. Sometimes...

    "I don't like my Christmas present" -- do you enjoy getting treasure?

    Upgrades are needing (because of gamesystem), but if magic is just that it's very boring. You remember chrismas gifts for dads about some book chronicles 1977-2011 version in shelf he never reads. Just upgrade because now monsters are more powerful, you need this +1 more to compite, it's about...

    Looking for Ideas to Creep Out My Players

    Very neat ideas. However, some players might not so much react to this kinda events, or react very negativly (horrible place, let's beat it, I look for my treasures elsewhere). With horror/creepy elements you have to stick to that golden middle-road that keeps it interesting, somewhat shocking...

    Why do all the characters die in British TV?

    Uh, filler-episodes. I have always disliked those. Unless they were musical episodes. Then again those actually moved plot, they just were unusual. Xena for example got that and many other "weird" different style episodes during the run. And fillers, it also had those awful fillers. Worst thing...

    Chaotic neutral semi-antagonist motivations

    How about someone that wants to be seen as hero. He has lot of personality issues, but is smart, cunning and rich. So after seeing PC:s (the Heores) do things he wants to be one who "solves it", "beats them to it" and he even ruins clues for party and things that might help them. He doesn't see...

    Ashamed of being a Gamer?

    Yes it is healthy. "Desperate Housewifes" healthy. :P More seriously, definations for good relationship vary. I prefer open ones. And since it's so much as 2 guys in group, it probably is society thing, and probably would not stay just between spouses. Hiding single harmlesss hobby that they...

    "I don't like my Christmas present" -- do you enjoy getting treasure?

    Hey remember if you play D&D 3.x with normal rules people need healing items, magical armor, weapons and stat bounus items, or system doesn't work when you go up levels and monster resistances etc. expect players can pass them. Like I said don't call all items that give bonuses magic. Call them...

    "I don't like my Christmas present" -- do you enjoy getting treasure?

    20 or something, as if I would get many presents these days, lol, adults usually don't. Anyhow with multiple magical items, I'd go for healing potions/wands time of stock items. "blessing of gods/science of alchemists" things, that aren't suppose to be so magical, whan quick ways of recovary...

    Blacks in Gaming (Hyperlink)

    I don't care about looks. It's a game with fantasy world (or scifi one), and when I make characters I create looks acording to their area. My recent character was from Kapesh and I chose typical looks of that area. I don't know why some people are obsessed reflecting this world so much, or...
