    How to Scare your Players' Pants Off

    Most of those sort of seem like stuff that should be done all the time. Especially descriptions, random rolls, possible dying, players doing what they want and so forth. That should not be saved for unique times in my opinion. It seems like many of those are based around fear of losing...

    Post-Apocalyptic Art Thread

    Our Apocalyptica Chromatics card deck comes out in a couple days on KickStarter that is based around this genre. Perfect timing for all the 2012 conspiracies:) The artists from AfterEarth: The Fall did all the work and it focuses heavily on a post-apocalyptic world. We will be redoing our...

    Will the Hobbit bring in new gamers?

    I don't know if there will be a large influx of gamers. What I did notice with LOTR was that a ton of people finally understood the worlds I enjoyed and played in. People who would have never understood before. It opened communication avenues and things that we could discuss together that might...

    (Mongoose) Lone Wolf: Maps of Magnamund

    Man. I am just always interested in Lone World stuff. Not sure if it is just nostalgia or what. But I love Lone World.

    When writing up notes for each place in a game I always include the following: Feel: The overall feeling of a place, festive, somber and so forth Sight: Instant sights plus things that people may see after a couple minutes, or if they wait Smell: Always include smells and many times connected...

    Best modern d20-esque RPG?

    I would also recommend Spycraft as well. Seemed to handle that category better than most.

    Gamers! (a bit of a rant)

    These kinds of responses are 100% par for the course when it comes to finding others for activities in a setting that doesn't have any actual friendship status to begin with. People will drop you like a bad habit for almost anything and that isn't even just for role-playing. It sucks. You bet...

    Paleo/Primal/Ancestral/Low-Carb Dietary Lifestyles

    Ya since 1994 I haven't gone on any kind of physical serving size. I go for intake of particular types of calories regardless of size to meet a number that works for me. I do see big portions everywhere and not just America(though leading the charge). Many nations have that issue. Some don't...

    I played a crappy character...and it was great!

    I can't remember the last time I bought stats rather than rolled them and had to play them. I know the couple of times I GM'ed or played in a point buy style game it was ok, nothing against it at all. Seems like most of the players around me and in my game sort of like the "roll what you get"...

    Paleo/Primal/Ancestral/Low-Carb Dietary Lifestyles

    Sorry I guess I should have made it clear. I am talking about the normal amount within nutritional guidelines not what other random people would call normal. In fact even around 3/4th's of that amount makes be feel off most of the time.

    Paleo/Primal/Ancestral/Low-Carb Dietary Lifestyles

    Edited for clarify around nutritional guidelines. I have been low carb since 1994. The year after I graduated. Back then it was Atkins and I have, at times, gone between the different versions. I was 297 when I started, my lowest weight was 187 and I am 203 now standing at 6 foot 2. Personally...

    I accidentally found a nifty way to do exploration of a map

    We do the same thing but a slightly different way. We get a dry erase board and a single piece of transparent plastic to go over it. Draw/tape/put the map on the board, cover with the transparent edge and draw over the secondary piece of plastic. They make massive black markers at our local...

    Plusses or Effects?

    Pluses have always been troubling to me personally. Whether its something with a plus that is so high it becomes comical, or comparison between items with pluses that don't make sense, in the end it just isn't as impacting to the game world as effects. Nor as interesting to me personally...

    Software Suggestions

    For me The Brain is the only answer:) We used other software for tracking this kind of thing and most of them had more limitations in their full versions than The Brain does as a free demo. It also has a fully functional and easy look to it. It can be used for so much in a campaign its crazy. I...

    Glad it worked out. Differing styles can really add to the game...or make it a nightmare:(
