Besides myself, I've known 2 other females who gm, various games actually. There have been others I've run into, but I haven't played with them. Wait there was one lady I played dragonlance with long ago, but I did only know her on gaming lv. Ratio is around 1/12 here. Interestingly, all female...

Lol. I wish. :)

Dunno, but'd love something like.

Hi, I am owner of that book, and I like it. Made a very interesting read, though it was lacking some sfuff that I felt belonged there, but I don't right now remember what it was. More info on some thingies, I think. Well, that said, it still will not found as much use in our games than demons...

Well Elf Witch, if we were playing together I might still have motivation to create more backstory. But, alas, as it stand people who I am actually playing like it very short, or even less. Any new game in my current larger group starts with short description what character looks, and what gear...

With real life people charisma is hard to tell. First, your charsimatic won't always be mine. There are different qualities, opinions, positions, parsonality traits that read into favor of people. Experience, history, other's opinions. Charisma is hard in real life. Then again charisma in D&D...

Interesting. But I woudn't use title name.

Sure I would accept some other penality. Imprisoment theme is pretty common alternative for tpk. However I think these kinda solutions must be agreeid beforehand. I don't want suprise loss of leg or something not crear to me. I don't want be on different map with world's physics. Those rules...

Yes. Some years back I played it during 3 year phase. During that time we played activily many different games/systems, but that was recurring. People had certain obsession with diceless systems that time. I think is was fun game to play, but it also was bit hard to handle with our big (=8-12)...

I used to be one of those people who do pages of background for chars. Then I got burn-out. It's kinda boring, never really matters so much in game and you have to write lot of boring stuff for char who is just in lv 1. Sure sometimes for some games there is change to make some weird characacter...

Not accepting random rolls of dice to be fudged mid-combat or chaning of hp/ac/gear is what sucks. I don't care if dm rolls from his random table some encounter and doesn't want to run it and rolls again. Those tables aren't meant as strait-jackets for dm but inspirational tool. Anyone most dm:s...

Power yeh, I used to play runequest with finnish rulesets most of the time and power is called mahti which actually translates might. when I mentioned disadvantages I think it would be justified if player wants to play slightly or more retarded (which is how it comes out in actual play more...

I don't like too much balancing at rpg. I like it at starcraft. It would be great to have at any pvp without stupid gearing getting in the way of skill. In rpg's it tend to make things less special. Magic feeling gets watered down. Nerfs happen. Gamemakers stop trusting people. Current star...

hubert the boy who would be ninja. Rather funny. Suitable for some games, but... I am min-maxer as dm I would hate to see this character for combat heavy game. Because without doubt the player would start at some point complain that I should nerf other people characters. This is true with real...

Well in D&D (and Pathfinder) animals often have high wisdom and there are many monsters with cha on nothing really charming about them. I think cha in D&D could be seen both as combination of charm and power of personality and in some cases striking looks (beutiful or unique). And it could be...

Nothing to do with ALS. That disease with similar diagnosis actually comes with different variation of lethality. They are called ALS but there are different catagories. My mum got ALS with fast lethality and lasted 4 years. So as far as real life goes, there are multiple factors.

I play few solo/two-player games where permanent death is not really an option. They are story games, but no fudging otherwise occurs. It's kinda just decicion to keep the characters up, and some really sucky things happen. To things/people you care about. You can get cursed/corrupted/mad. If...

Yes Raislin's ill health is curse-thing, not really stat related. Plus naturally brotherly competition at earlier times had led to low self-esteem what came to physical ability. Raistin the character often felt jealous of his brother for physicall prowress and at same tiime thought he was so...

Yep Dausuul. As I pointed out somewhere earlier threads where people stat themselves is lol-worthy. I am hoping some are joking. We aren't living in same universe of stats if some think 10 is avarage and another thinks 10 is new 15 or otherway around. I think someone should seriosly link few...

In real world charisma alone doesn't really break all social barriers. You need to have skills too, and knowledge. And sometimes also right contacts, money, gender or even looks/age. Where real call of success comes from those elements you might even be better off by having only avarage...
