I'm having a hard time relating that analogy to the game mainly because it is a health issue and I can sympathize and accommodate an allergy to my food. I also can't downplay a gaming preference like "do not kill me" as being nothing other than a "gaming style". We can all agree that demanding...

So for people who say they only distract themselves when it is not their turn, why? Why do you not enjoy watching what other players are doing when it is not your turn? As a player, I still enjoy watching what other people are doing. Or if I'm not involved in the roleplaying, it is still...

I call it an ultimatum. It doesn't make a difference that it is his playstyle. It is still an ultimatum and a threat. It wouldn't make me feel any better knowing that it is "just his playstyle".

I think of an "adventure" as having a definite beginning and an end. A "campaign" is the life span of the adventuring career. I'd say what you are referring to is a campaign rather than an adventure. The DM may run several short "adventures" (kill the villain poisoning the town water, then get...

Ask him how many groups he's been in and how many campaigns he's dropped from. This sounds pretty boring and even more frustrating than having a character dying. Floating from campaign to campaign would mean less gaming. Certainly nobody is dropping an entire campaign just to keep him because...

This is a question to the players. When you are reading, texting, playing video games on your handheld device, stacking dice, doodling, or doing anything else other than paying attention to the game, does that mean you are bored? Or are you just fidgeting and still paying attention? As a DM...

Can someone explain to me what that kid was doing in the RV when he pulled up to the barn? Why in the world did he get out of the driver seat? I don't normally talk to the tv when I watch shows, but that had me saying, "What in the world is he doing!?!" Then I turned to my wife and asked her...

What type of campaign do you prefer to play if you managed to play long enough to get from level 1 to level 20? Please explain why.

Wait. You mean to tell me that a Pirate can't kill a Knight? I guess someone isn't watching the reenactments.

If the zombie doesn't need to be killed (i.e., the living are just trying to flee), then a shoulder hit or something would help with the "perfect marksman" problem. But if they need the zombie to die (i.e., it is about to bite someone), then you still need to show a head shot. So for every...

I know it may sound silly, but from a directing perspective, showing people missing their shots over & over in a TV show is actually going to take away air time from the show itself. Every second matters in film & especially TV when you have to fit it in a 30 minute, 1 hour, 1.5 hour, etc, etc...

Both. Your example is what I'm talking about and if it involved a solo quest that maybe you ran on another day with that player without the other players around, even better. We used to do that all the time when I was younger. I love gaming like that. It's great when you are playing a group...

Do you create scenarios specifically for a PC to do as a side quest or do you just stick to running an adventure that involves the entire group? I love creating side quests that focus on a certain PC. It really helps pull the player into the campaign world and it makes the character more...

If you think Rome was gritty then you must not be watching Spartacus. :D Both shows are very good though.

I just remembered that I came very close to having a female DM. I even made a PC for her game. Then she indirectly mentioned to me that she was going to show me how to DM the right way. I kid you not. She was very argumentative as a player and I had to ask her a couple of times not to argue...

I have a set of Tact-Tiles that I used until I started using D&D tiles. I was thinking about selling them on Ebay since I am not getting any use out of them. In fact, I'm thinking of selling my D&D tiles also (along with my custom made containers for them). I converted to using a VTT setup with...

I never thought about it. I've never had a female DM but I wouldn't mind it. I don't see how it would be much different. I should say though, I don't have much luck DMing for women. I think I have DMed for 6 different women and I had problems with 4 of them. Although 1 of those only gave me...
