It's well-known at work for those who ask. I don't go out of my way to tell folks, but I don't hide it. Several of my coworkers as me about it and I'm fairly certain all of my senior partners are aware of it. And they rate it at the same level as the guy who plays in Bridge tournaments, the...

Married for 16 years next month with two children. Of my players: 3 Married [or 2, depending on your state ;)] 1 Recently Divorced and in a new relationship 2 Single [but who both have been in relationships previously] The overwhelming majority of players I've had over the years have either...

Oooooh, YEAHHHHH. Just go into night club and announce you're a GM. The chicks just come rollin' in, baby. :)

Seeing how it has become more profitable in the last year the several that preceded it and has increased it's membership by a factor of 5-10...I don't think you're going to get your wish in that regard. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, though.

Not to sidetrack and I may be misremembering, but IIRC, you I thought you couldn't take multiple AoOs against the same opponent in a single round? The joke still works, but I think that's factually incorrect.

Hmmm....just found out we'll be doing a 'friends' convention in October. Perfect chance to run a Dread game. Now I just have to work one out. Resident Evil: Dru? Nah, too obvious. Maybe something with The Franklin Expedition a'la Dan Simmon's "The Terror"? Except the wife has read that...

Thanks for the review. Definitely going to have to add this to the short list of 'Games to Get'. Wish I could have made Gencon this year, but c'est la vie. Any game I can play with the whole family is a win...and Dread itself is oodles of fun.

To Wit: the opening of Arcanum from wikipedia "Arcanum begins with a cut scene of the IFS Zephyr, a luxury zeppelin, on her maiden voyage from Caladon to Tarant. Two monoplanes, piloted by Half-Ogre bandits, close in on the craft and commence attack runs, succeeding in shooting it down. A...

DDO is a 3e Eberron branded game. After they course corrected, it went from 8th place to 3rd place for MMOs (I assume that number refers to domestic US games). It also skews the data to suit it's agenda. The Citadel is a major location in Mass Effect, but it's not listed so that you can...

Atari ALREADY HAS a D&D MMORPG. D&D Online Unlimited by Turbine, which has jumped from 8th position to 3rd in the MMORPG business since jumping to the Free2Play model late last year. NWN1 had a terrible single-player game, but the expansions were much, MUCH better...and those paled in...

I think the big numbers have been hit, here. 1) DMs require more resources for the game and sharing resources makes their lives easier. ENWorld has provided me with tons of monsters, maps and ideas. 2) DMs and players are not mutually exclusive. DMs are, if anything, a superset of Players...

Count me as a second vote to see some pics. Always interested into seeing what other folks have accomplished in this realm!

Add me to the list of folks who think that Hirst Arts is just ducky. Yes, the initial investment is a tad pricey, but you can do SO MUCH with just a couple of molds. The big difference for hirst arts is that the cost to make a corridor is pretty high....but the cost to make a castle, dice...

It's worth noting here several things, IMHO. 1) Pulling comes off here the same way she did when this was new: a grieving mom who doesn't want to believe that her son was patently unhappy or troubled and is sure something DID this to him. The TSR PR rep right after here says EXACTLY THAT. And...

Because we should be better people than that. Because we generally enjoy a hobby about being heroes, not vindictive jerks. I'd like to think that we'd be better served thinking about ways to advocate our hobby than gleefully mocking a woman who, blinded by the pain of loss, overreacted and...

Ah, observing the law of Inverse Ninjas, eh?

When I first started playing in my early teens, our house didn't have a basement, so we played in the dining room. In college we played in the dorms or apartments. We didn't start playing in a basement until we bought a house with a finished basement and then turned it into our game room. Not...

I and all of my players are now in our early forties. Throughout middle school, high school and college, gaming was a constant. In middle and high school, long after-school sessions were the norm, maybe several times a week. In college, all day Saturday affairs or 8-hour sessions starting at...

DUDE. Thank goodness I wasn't drinking anything when I read this. :)
