    Mapping Software

    I've used both products, in demo form only, the CC 2 Pro twice. I couldn't figure out how to do squat with the Dundjini, however I was able to turn out a fairly nice map playing around with the CC 2 Pro (the first time around, the second time around was only to compare it to the Dundjini which...

    Is a Ninja/Barbarian possible?

    The rules may allow for it, but I personally prefer to not allow the Barbarian class unless it was the starting class. Where Barbarains are less than civilized persons, but can later become more refined and polished. So it it seems kinda backward to go from any class to Barbarian IMO.

    Its a new campaign and your DM offers you the following options

    I've always wanted to run an all Rogue (Thief) campaign. The pc's would all be human children (9-14 yrs. in age), as runaways or orphans, banded together trying to survive another day in a large slum district of an even greater port city. Primary foes are, rival street gangs (large and small)...

    Drinking at the Game Table?

    I've had a similiar experiences when playing pool back when I was in the Army. Played great on a few beers, and another few beers later my rhythm was gone. On to topic: Yes, we allow drinking during our games. Since my group socializes before and after the session, we've usually started by...

    Campaign Specific Website

    Nope, don't need or want one. I prefer to homebrew, and if using a sourcebook, prefer to fill in any gaps myself.

    Mr. Winkle

    Hmm, a cute but annoying little doggie. I don't need my 30 seconds back, the site has inspired me to stat out the Plushy Golem, to peeve my players with, all thanks to Mr. Winkle.

    How Sexy Are Your Words?

    Prevaricate will yield an SI of 5. Discombobulate will also yield an SI of 5. Shenanigans yilded an SI of 2 while Shenanigan yields an SI of 5, so apparently the form of the word in question (plural/singular, etc.) plays an important part of doing the search. So I took the average of those two...

    How do you end a game session?

    My group doesn't have a quitting time, though we're supposed to start at 9:00 we usually end up starting a half hour to an hour later. Quitting normally involves someone in the group announcing a need or desire to end the session "pretty soon." At which point we finish any combat/tactical...

    Do you track rations?

    Ammo, Encumbrance, Food and Water are things I track to add a bit of grisly realism to my games. If that makes me a bit of a RBDM, then so be it.

    What is the best-rolling die?

    My favorite of the standard gaming dice is the d8, followed by the d10 and d12 in no particular order. For the non-standard it's a toss up betwen my d5 (it's very useful compared to most other non-standard gaming dice) and d30. As has been noted the d100 rolls for too long and I've not played...

    Ohio Gameday IV-Who's coming?

    Unfortunately, I had to say no, for this round. The company I work for is a direct supplier for GM (Moraine Assembly). GM has scheduled production for nearly every Saturday up until the Christmass Shutdown. My company only has one Maintenance Tech per shift, which is my position, and for the...

    Players misplacing PC equipment

    I'm a firm believer in the if it's not recorded, then it's gone, policy. As a player, I'm constantly updating a running record of any items that come into my characters possesion.

    Cloaks, rings, robes, hats, bucklers, and codpieces.

    I insist on my players having at least a rough description of the clothing their character wears. They can't run around in armor 24/7. I kick off most campaigns where the pc's don't know each other very well (if at all), and have the players introduce their characters with said description...

    Best class for a n00b to play

    I typically use the good old Human Fighter for n00bs. Fighter, is the easiest class to explain because it's rather straight forward and simple in concept. Human for race because it's easy to identify with w/out bothering with a bunch of confusing misconceptions as to what and how Elves...

    Which race is the most masculine? Gnome?

    The "Ab Lounge"......Does it really work?

    Several years back, my wife bought one of those Total Gym machines as endorsed by Chuck Norris. It's never been used, except for the cats who used it as a scratching post and the kids who did their damndest to break it through play. So now I'm out close to 1500 bucks and need to have it...

    You know you need to play D&D when...

    I tend to start creating character's for use in my campaign when I'm in need of a gaming fix, or more rarely work on a more productive aspect of the campaign, than an NPC who most likely will never see any use in the campaign.

    Would you allow half-races?

    I have five player races in my homebrew campaign. All of which are derived from two species of man, one of which is extinct (due to warfare over religious doctrine). Humans are pure human stock of the surviving species. Dwarves and Haflings are the mutated descendants of the the now extinct...
