Ryan stole my stuff! Seriously, this worked for me so I know it is a good idea. Maybe even take a complete break for a session or two, I am sure you have had players that missed but you as DM always had to be there. Take a night off and let your hair down!

Benjamin Franklin was wrong. You let 100 criminals go free, you are condemning all their "innocent" future victims. Therefore the correct phrase would be it is better to let numerous innocents suffer than to send one innocent to jail. That math does not work for me.

I had a party get hopelessly lost once and despite ever more increasingly detailed directions to get them straightened out, the 2 co-leaders just were not getting it. In frustration on their part one of them (a fighter) "prayed" for divine guidance, and in frustration on my part I replied "A...

I was actually hoping you would not get to mine until Wednesday, I will never remember an expiration date of the 29th of October.

[cleaning Dr Pepper off monitor now, thanks!] Hey! get out of my empty wallet. Yes, (sigh, looking at 60+ WotC 3/3.5 books) I am tapped, tapped in the head. I don't plan on getting this engrossed and distracted ever again... ooh, look Pathfinder from Paizo :D Much worse than the Age od Worms! :p

I have come to accept that what WotC is doing makes perfect sense from a business perspective. They are chasing the WoW crowd of subscription dollars, and quite probably the sam age demographic as well, because that has proven to be a lucrative market. Whether they call it DDO 2 or 5E, I...

There is an old joke: At 18 my parents were the stupidest people on the planet, but by the time I turned 21 they sure had learned a lot! I remember my teenage years, and would be happy to trade horror stories with you, and I am sure mine are worse, but I learned from them and moved on to become...

The only case of actual abuse I know of was of some family friends grandson, a 14 year old boy who was accused of sexual assault by a 14 year old girl. Despite him having an alibi, he was arrested and put in juvenile detention where he was assaulted by several 17 year old boys. After a year...

Not sure how your school systems are arranged but in Texas, the average 14 year old is in 9th grade. In some instances that is High School, but more and more school districts here are now splitting into a 4 tier system with either just 11th and 12th grades as High School or 10th through 12th...

The 40 year old guy (adult) was trying to join a group of 16 (legal to drive, otherwise still a minor), 17 (quasi-legal in some states for certain things, minor for voting and alcohol), 19 (adult, except for alcohol), and a 20 year old (adult, except for alcohol). The guy wanting to join is...

I have consistantly run 8, and have gone as high as 16 for a short run (4 sessions) before we dropped back to 12 and then 10 and then finally the usual 8. From the DM perspective it can be frustrating that you spend massive prep time to get through 1 room and 100' of corridor, but seriously if...

Absolutely no offense to you Jeysie, but this is a very naive statement. As I said in the 40 year old man thread, the difference between a 14 year old girl wanting to join a group of adults and a 40 year old man wanting to join a group of late teens is HUGE. Their are legal issues to consider...

I love this! At 38 I started a group in 2000 that was all 20 somethings. Over the next 5 years people were added and people left so that by 2005 when I was 43 the group had become 18-21 in age. The 18 had joined at 13 as the little brother of another player, but I already knew their mom. I...

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? OK, Are we there yet now??? Why do I feel like mine just went to the bottom of the pile? :p

You just confirmed my 3rd point above, you (or someone else) want to tie into the phrase made famous by Paizo in order to make your own product more palatable to the consumers who already associate that phrase with Paizo, not the community at large. At some distant point in the past WotC may...

I have been waffling about becoming a CS for a while now. Finally decided to do it as my Christmas present to myself for next year, but with your offer I had to take advantage of it for the four year option. I sort of feel like I kicked you while you were down doing it... but I'll get over it. :)

My BBEG often try to run, but my voracious players often chase them down and slaughter them anyway. When they do manage to get away my group gets mad at themselves for letting it happen, not me for doing it. They are G or N aligned, but they expect their opponents to be cowards (or at least...

The community has dealt with far more confusing issues with no problem, this is really not that confusing. Most of the community already associates the term with Paizo anyway. Because despite "version numbers" and other platitudes, Dungeon *magazine* is dead. All hail the new Dungeon *ezine*...

Since I have already eliminated half-races *as a seperate group*, I am all for making it official.

I voted NO, but that may be incorrect. *IF* I can't read them at the LGS (shrinkwrapped), and if all the good stuff doesn't get posted here, and if I decide to go 4E, and if they are available on Amazon marketplace or Ebay for around $5... *THEN* I will buy them. Otherwise, NO.
