    How were you introduced to RPGs?

    I friend of mine, who has since past away, told me about "a game that you play completely with your imagination. There are no limits." Whenever I sit down to play I hear his remind me that.

    Will Google Wave Play a Part in Your Game?

    You guys sure that when using something like Google Wave it won't be seen as competitive software/website with DDI and you'll asked to C&D? ;) **ducks back behind barricade** Honestly for myself, I don't think G-Wave or any software is gonna do anything for my gaming. So far I can't get any...

    I love DMing, but I like playing too! :(

    There are a number of RPGs where the line between Player and GM position is pretty thin. Perhaps branch out and have your cake an eat it too?

    Don 't Split the Party!

    It's funny, D&D is the only RPG I know that has a problem with having the characters be separated.

    Thank You

    I look forward to hearing all the old in-side gossip about the in's-and-out's of 4e during your time as an employee in a year or few once you've settled into something else. I'm being honest, that stuff interests me. Like when that other guy.. uhh, is his name Dansey or something? Talked about...

    Which edition poll for October

    My picks are equally Some other Fantasy RPG and Non-Fantasy RPG. D&D just doesn't scratch the itch for me anymore.

    Iron DM 2009 - FINAL MATCH - it's over!

    I saw on the previous page that Iron DM is 'edition-neutral'. But is it 'game-neutral' too, or just aimed at D&D? I didn't see that anywhere... Thanks!

    RPG Books: Precious Gems or Just Dead Trees?

    I treat them like pooh-pooh. Write notes in the margin, do math in the margins, highlight important parts, fold pages for place holds, put sticker tabs on all the chapter pages for easy access. I even used a book to coral a spilled drink from splashing over the table onto the floor/rug once or...

    Confessions of a 25 Year Old Gamer

    When you say you live in upstate NY, what do you mean by that?

    Glad I was able to keep you all entertained. I know I sure had a great time! As always looking forward to the next one!

    Dungeon Decks

    It would be cool to run it as a gimmicky, pure impromptu convention or gameday type game. So that even the GM is surprised. Would require good improve skills though.

    Movies that make you want to game...

    I've only seen like a dozen movies in my life. So the only one I can actually remember that gets my gaming juices flowing is Last of the Mohicans.

    Really, how important is the system/edition?

    @ Mallus Going back and rereading posts in the previous page, I'd have to disagree with your point about rules-heavy vs. rules-light on the spot calls, but maddman75 made all the points I would have. A recommendation to see this in action would be 3:16 Carnage Among the Stars. This game gives...

    TIPS Sought for Sustainable Sci-Fi (not Star Wars) Gaming

    When it comes to sci-fi that includes a lot of space flight time (for example a typical Traveller game) a good source of ideas and inspiration is novels and stories of tall ships during the 14th through 19th centuries. And even a lot of modern day shipping too. It fits a certain type of Sci-fi...

    Really, how important is the system/edition?

    1) Yes. I've picked up about 3 or 4 other games in the past three years. 2) Over the past three years, probably $60 - $70 3) The expense isn't that much. And for the most part the games are used two fold: first as a collective source of gaming repertoire. A lot of how I play is little parts...

    FLGS and the DDI

    There are plenty of dumb terminals one could get keep people from having access to a whole computer. I mean when I go to one of the local pubs that have a bijillion beers on tap an everyone has a personal list of every beer they've ordered, I'm sure a FLGS can get a computer to just run a single...

    New D&D Website

    Did they hire that guy who was around here claiming he could make a better website like.. a year ago? Cause the new websites looks almost exactly like one of those mock-up ones he did.

    Campaign Versus Adventurer

    I like self encapsulating adventures with pretty liberal off-screen time between them to link them together into a larger campaign arc. The adventures don't necessarily even have to bleed into each other either. I've never played or GM'd an Adventure Path so not sure what column this would...

    [Ars Magica - 5E] How do the rules play?

    Albany Gameday XII - October 3rd

    Alright sure. If you think there are enough fence sitters to warrant another afternoon game and nobody else is stepping up I will offer to run a Barbarians of Lemuria adventure. Worst case scenario I jump back into JC's game or play some board games. :cool:
