    Calgary Gamers! (or Alberta Gamers!) Introduce yourselves!

    yes, pity me and my northern ways. only one of you has even mentioned anything within 400km of poor me. i am from the area that loughlin city in the x men movie was based on. no cages but a half hour in a G.P. bar without a fight is an act of god. the one nostalgic advantage i have over alot...

    [OT] The Homework Thread (OVER)

    just end your speech with a rousing "SAN DEMUS HIGHSCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!" or it's equivalent and you'll be fine.

    Who is Blackleaf?

    i still have yet to actually finish one of his articles. i love how he quotes both the old and new books though, it gives him cred. it's sort of like how you can use specific lines from the bible out of context to prove pretty much any point. jerks like this convinced the dm of my current...

    Bad Axe Games

    and with any luck, that might save you from an avalanche of people sending e-mails looking for swag. are you even distributed in canada? i've travelled to some places much less remote then where i am and still i have not found a single copy.

    [OT] What is the best selling beer in your country?

    well, i think the best seller here in canada "molson canadian" if not that it's probably "labatt blue" i think it varries greatly depending how far west or east you are with the east drinking more labbat and west drinking more molson. my beer of choice for canadian beers is "moosehead". import...

    to r.a. salvatore fans...

    how old are you? i'm not trying to be condacending or anything but halfway throught the last book i noticed how awful the characters were, and how contrived the plot felt. i then thought about the other books and realised that it was nothing new, nothing had changed but me and the ammount of non...

    What's the ultimate Dwarf ride?

    that was the funniest part of any novel i have ever read. i am reffering collectivley to every part of any salvatore book involving the battleragers of mithril hall. Drizzt should die any time now but those battleragers deserve their own book. anyway dwarven mounts should come in two...

    Which character sheet do you use ?

    a friend of mine and i designed a sheet with alot of miscelanious notes space. you put alot of stuff where you think it should go. it's worked well with our groups and nobody puts all their stuff in the same place. the front has most of the stuff that comes up in the middle of a fight while the...

    Did you know there's a review section here?

    well i allready broke my no WotC products rule, i just did one for faiths and pantheons. it was sitting beside my computer so i figured what the heck, why not. it's only the fourth review for the product and none of the staff reviewers have done it yet. it's at...

    Did you know there's a review section here?

    on that we can agree then, my review will also not be a favorable one. i'm going to try and do a few more, some of products that i do not feel quite so strongly about and as psion says: "before doing a review READ THE FAQ"

    Did you know there's a review section here?

    yeah, i can see the appeal of doing the ones you are really familiar with but i prefer to do ones that not everyone has allready decided to purchase or not. i'm only going to bother with d20 (as in not core D&D) stuff and the hackmaster swag kenzer sent me to review months ago. the contents of...

    [Merged] Hackmaster reviews?

    if it makes anyone feel better, kenzer sent me some HM swag awhile back that i have to review now that i can and the review probably will not be all that great. and i will put a disclaimer in caps lock at the top that the product is not d20 or D&D. i'm just doing it because they sent it to me...

    Did you know there's a review section here?

    the summary of the books contents are pretty much the only part of a review i pay alot of attention to. the reviewer's opinion does not matter to me. if the book is a borderline purchase, i'll look at the ratings of all who have reviewed it but the reviewer might not be looking for the same...

    DMs do you trust your PCs?

    if someone wants to cheat, i'll let them. if they feel a sense of accomplishment having their character allways critically hit, having all 18's for stats having more skill points then they should, that's fine. however every time there is going to be one character singled out as getting an extra...

    Does being a DM make you a better Player? Does being a player make you a better DM?

    yup, only by experiencing the joy of having your insignifigant human fighter slay the dragon can you understand just how good it can feel to accomplish that goal. those who never dm (this is just in my experience) do not understand how much work it is and therefore give the dm and his effort...

    How to enforce low magic item count

    i have some rules you might like. they make magical items a little less candy like. these rules apply to any items not created specificly for the character such as those found or taken from enemy corpses. i make the wielder pay half the original xp cost to activate a magical item's powers...

    Whinging Players or Munchkins?

    i think the primary differences between an average dm (the ones the bulk of the warranted or otherwise complaints are about) and a good one is simply the ability to conceal the liberties they take from the players and the ability to adapt the storyline to unforseen events. an average to poor gm...
