    Dealing with an "oldschool" DM

    Sorry, Doug, no disrespect intended, but I don't think Pathfinder is a "new rpg system" at all, but I'd agree there is some excited fans there. :)

    Pathfinder 1E [Pathfinder] Planning on switching to Pathfinder?

    If Pathfinder had been released before 4e, we would have considered it (as we were just really getting fed up with 3.5), but now? Not so much. I am happy to hear that the first run sold out and that the energy seems to be high for Pathfinder. Competition will promote the need for innovation for...

    Dealing with an "oldschool" DM

    The shortest distance between two people is honest communication. Make sure you're telling the DM what you think and why. Don't be rude or aggressive, try to get an open dialog going, but be honest.

    What can MMORPGs teach us about world building?

    EQ was the only MMORPG I've played (and I've played plenty) where I actually felt any sense of accomlishment. You're right, it could be frustrating, stressfull, and very, very unforgiving, but I think that's what made it exhilerating; today's MMORPGs are just too easy for me to enjoy long term...

    What can MMORPGs teach us about world building?

    Good times! When PoF opened a friend of mine lost his corpse on the PoF, but I eventually fished it out with my monk. Damn, those were the days. :)

    Reviews: positive or negative

    Honestly, I don't care for reviews that are positive or negative, I'm more of a "Just the facts, mam" kind of guy. When a review is super positive it feels like a marketing pitch, when it is super negative and it feels like a rant. I prefer reviews that give hard data and examples. I'm fine with...

    Is your group perfect for you (as a DM)?

    I have 15 players (in 3 different campaigns I run, same world though) and, yes, they're perfect and you can't have them. I will qualify that they are perfect because they are all close friends and nothing beats gaming with friends.

    What can MMORPGs teach us about world building?

    ;) EQ, for me, is still the greatest MMORPG yet made; I just can't get into the easy mode of today's MMORPGs.

    What can MMORPGs teach us about world building?

    I would be curious how many in-game days would pass if you were to walk (not run) an Everquest character on a tour of just all the surface zones (especially if your character stopped to rest for 6 to 8 hours each day). I think you'd be surprised just how long it would take. At a "quick" count...

    VBA Character Sheet

    I lose at the interweb. :( Apparently a post I made back in June with a PDF attachment of a character sheet I use for 4e garnered some interest...and I got some private messages sent to me asking for copies of the original. I've never had Private Messages here before (not too popular, I guess)...

    D&Di - Monster Builder Beta Launch Announced

    The Monster Builder (as it stands) is already better than sliced bread. Once they fix a few bugs and incorporate templates and PC powers it will be better than sliced pizza. I think my favorite aspect is the ability to shave or add levels for monsters in less time than it took me to write this...

    My idea of the perfect PC is:

    You think Malcolm Reynolds is perfect?1 :confused:

    Warning: Devil's Due Publishing Trojan

    I was checking out some of the vendor's nominated for the ENnies and when I went to Devil's Due Publishing (Best Regalia: Worlds of Dungeons and Dragons, Vol. 2) my system started blocking Trojan attacks and I saw that the site was trying to install a Remote Desketop applet. I closed the site...

    Game night cancelled

    I share DMing duties for Thursday night (same group, different campaigns) and I run two other 4e games and play in 1 other as well. That's a log of gaming and I still get disappointed when a game gets canceled. :o The nice part about being such an active DM is that I can put that time to good...

    I don't miss the magazines (/ducks)

    That pretty much mirrors my own use thoughout the years. Read a little, look at pictures, dwell upon my homebrew.

    Can't recall movie name...

    Azumi was the one! Unfortunately, not available on Netflix. :.-( What is this movie about a girl Blade-like character?

    Can't recall movie name...

    Some while back (within the last year I want to say) I saw a preview for a movie which I think was Japanese. It involved a girl (14ish in age I think) running around with a katana (I think). Heh, anyway, if anybody knows what the heck I'm babbling about and can point me in the right direction...
