A few years ago I was running a game with anywhere from 4 to 8 players at any given session. There were many times when one or more people couldn't make it. We just sort of left the character in limbo untill they returned. It was the only way to keep the game going without having to spend a lot...

I don't want to say goodbye. I guess I don't have to. I still have my issues to go back and pour over plus the cdrom Dragon archive. Dragon in particular has been a staple of my reading every month since 1992. I purchased it religiously at my lgs and then last year subscribed to both for the...

It should be noted that this would not have been the first time they have packed the kids in the car and come over to visit. We are family after all. They were over for a visit just a couple weeks ago. Just the first time in over a year for the game session. They weren't coming to a strange...

Ok I concede that my reaction may have been out of proportion. I've considered evryone's input, even the ones that are hard to hear. Of course everyone here doesn't know all the circumstances leading up to today, and I won't go into that. Suffice it to say if the situation were reversed, and I...

I guess I do fit the profile. I also have a tendancy to internalize my anger and obsess over little plastic figures....... ;)

Well, thanks for the laugh. :)

I can see your point. I may well have overreacted. It does take 2 to make an exchange though so I believe I'm not the only jerk. thanks.

You see the thing is this won't be the end of our friendship. It can't be. M is more than my best friend. He's my nephew. His father is my older brother. He was born when I was ten years old. I held him as an infant and looked down at him and I loved him just because he was there. I was too...

With respect Steel_Wind Expressing my dissappointment makes me a jerk? Here's a clue for you: The kids' mother K was in on the planning from the get go. I don't expect anyone to place me or D&D before their family. I expect just the opposite in fact. I never said my feelings were reasonable or...

I need to put this down in writing to get it off my chest. Here's the situation. My game group currently consists of my best friend M, his wife K and I. We play every other weekend due to his work schedule. M and I take turns DMing. They live about an hour away. I have made the drive to their...

The Spelljammer campaign I played in back in the 90's remains to this day one of the most fun times I've had playing D&D. It was the one setting where our DM would pretty much let anyone try any race or class. Predictably it was weird and wild, but also a blast.

I agree with you. The owner I spoke of has a reputation for being antagonistic with his customers in person and in his policies. He seems to see the customers as an obstacle to overcome to get to their money. He doesn't see the customers as the life's blood of his business. I know I judge any...

I used to work at a game store I'm not defending any rude behavior by a retailer or employee, but I used to work at a game/comic shop where the owner flat out refused to pay the employee closing for any more than 15 minutes after closing time. During that 15 minutes I was expected to count out...

An apology or even an acknowledgement of the strong reaction would go a long way to mending fences. The thing that just hit me the hardest on this was the blunt, in your face way they announced it. No attempt to soften the blow or ease us into the idea, just "Paizo Publishing to Cease...

Oh Gawd! I almost forgot my friend Lance's Minotaur fighter in our Spelljammer campaign, Marl O' Boro. Lance smoked Marlboros. Lance's quote " Marl kills things good."

Hm I once ran a female Erudite Necromancer named Halotabuti.

In one of my past gaming groups we made a side hobby of corrupting the well thought out names of my friend Bob's characters. He really put a lot of thought into it, and we had a lot of laughs. Here's a couple of samples. We were playing a Waterdeep based campaign and Bob came up with Malakai...

15 years ago in a Spelljammer campaign, we had a dwarf battle rager in the party. He couldn't wait till we came alongside an enemy ship to board, so we launched him over with a catapult. Somehow he managed to survive the landing on the enemy deck, and had killed a good chunk of the goblin crew...

Make sure the sorcerer survives and gets all the fat lewts! :p

One time about ten years ago some friends and I did a kind of weird roleplay in public. We were all gamers and just did it for a lark. There were 2 guys in the Army who were both pretty burly and buff who played the role of bodygaurds in suits, a lovely young lady in a form fitting red dress who...
