This recall sucks. I had just finished making nacho dip with the chili sauce, when I see the recall on the news. My wife already knew about it and didn't say anything or throw the sauce out. I had to dump out the dip and go buy new ingredients and make it all over again

I'm good for 3-6 with an optimal four or five players. Any more than six and the game starts to bog down. I also like running one on one campaigns, which tend to be primarily story driven.

I voted yes, but would've voted sometimes had that been an option. As a GM I either pass a note to the player(s) concerned or pull him/her/them aside with no regularity for one method or the other. If players want to pass notes to each other, it has to go through me, so I know what said...

IMC, I started the characters off as all volunteering for small mission by their current employer. Once they had completed said mission, I gave them the option of continuing to work for their employerr or break off go their own way (it paid off in a goddly sum of money for my campaign). They...

I was in the Army from '88-'91. Was sent to Germany for permanant party. I had my parents ship my 1e stuff over to me. Discovered FR by picking up the box-set from the Stars and Stripes bookstore. Picked up a lot of stuff from Stars and Stripes actually, rounded out my collection of 1e...

I get ideas while doing all sorts of things, not any one thing in particular seems to stand out for ideas, great or otherwise. However, if I wanted to expand upon the idea and say write it up for future reference, then the sweet time is just as I'm falling asleep. I couldn't begin to count the...

Another GM could use my stuff with tweaking. I may be in trouble for some copyright or IP, but I try my damndest to just come up with my own names based on someone elses idea, but add enough changes that it's now mine. I spend a lot of free time at work writing everything up, once I'm done...

Heh, I like it. But I like those kind of twists of fate (or whatever). So long as I had fun while adventuring, chasing after the phantom McGuffin, then it's a good game. I like Nifft's twist about coming home and having to restore order because YOAE has done been and gone. What was this...

I'll echo what others have said about measuring your space where the refrigerator sits, the doorway any new refrigerator is to come through and the refrigerator in question. I bought a 25 cubic foot, fridge nine years ago. To get it into the house, I had to remove the back door and the door...

Can't say as I've ever had a female GM. In 26 years of gaming I'm personally aware of only one female who ran any kind of game. An ex-wife of a buddy of mine, I missed the experience due to a heavy workload at the time, but I hate her guts, so it's probably a good thing I missed 'cause I'd...

I know of one in my area for certain, it's maybe a ten minute drive at best from my home. There was a second maybe 30-45 minutes drive from my home, but I'm not sure it's still in business (I checked it out once, not long after it opened). I don't count the chain retail book stores (Borders...

I have a game called Ultra Combat. It's based on a futuristic high-tech setting. I wouldn't go so far as to call it sci-fi, except where some of the technology is concerned. It's completely humanocentric. Too many of the game mechanics only make sense when using the provided setting fluff...

Wormy and Snarfquest are the only two to get my vote. Except for picking up an oddball Dragon (less than ten issues), I never read the magazine, with the exception of a one year subscription which was gift from a relative. Wormy and Snarfquest are the only comic series names which still linger...

I like the sound of GM. Back in my early gaming days, it seemed like all other products used the term GM, while only D&D produncts used the term DM. Somewhere along the way, it turned out I just liked the sound of the more generic term of GM for the person filling in the role of...

Only a very small number of Authors exist, for whom I have or will buy a book sight unseen. And I've even gotten burned by some of those said Authors, because some of the books I picked up sight unseen turned out to be, IMO, crap (luckily it's only happened a few times). If I can't get a...

Well, I voted "No" just because I could. And because those Gallup folks have never come around my door (phone, mailbox, etc.). I don't do surveys either (unless part of a registration process to set up an online account in order to make a purchase).

Wednesday night (6/6/07) Enworld went to la la land on me twice while posting a reply and wouldn't even come up most of the time I tried getting back on (3 different pc's, two different zip codes). But rpgnet worked fine (I have an account but have yet to post there, I visit maybe once every 2...

For my current Homebrew setting, the party is adventuring in a temperate forest/plains area right along the edges of a mountain range. The party is from a megatropolis on another prime plane and came to their current environs via a gate, and as soon as they figure out how to operate the gate I...

I prefer mine to be more Tolkinesque only because Tolkien was my first and only inspiration for small peoples until Dragonlance came along. Kender are great for fictional characters but a pain for a GM if role played correctly IMHO. I have no experience with Dark Sun and my experiences with...

I almost rarely play, so I chose 81-99%. I find GMing to be much better outlet for my imagination than playing.
