    Your game sucks...

    For me this has changed during the years. I used to play at one rpg-club, but those games kinda got boring to be for various reasons. Occasionally like like one-shot of a game that is totally different, than my usual preferances. But I don't want to stay long in group, which play-style is...

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    Hi I am still following this story-hour. To be honest I haven't read many books, which are written as well than your story. I like the philosophical heavyness, though I don't quite get it all. Thank you for giving this story to us Sepulchrave. It's always trilling to find and read the update.

    Why is it a bad thing to optimise?

    It's true balanced parties are nicer to dm. However, if I have to choose what is worse character, it's one that is underpowered. And if one or two players can't make effective characters and refuse help to make them, I let them play that way, and I don't listen if they whine that other players...

    how Epic do you like it?

    Good question. I like epic game very much. When I play D&D it means usually more plot-line, than just levels. Some epic stories involving godlike beings and their plots or dimensional rifts apparing alien beings invading world etc can start at lv 1. Or even lv 0 when characters were just some...

    Any love for the Scarred Lands?

    Ah, thanks for information, I don't know that much about Exalted, and like I said, I think it's likely they borrowed stuff from that setting, considering it's their only "fantasy" setting and they wanted to be early worms at d20 market. Very reason first Creature Collection was so riddled with...

    Any love for the Scarred Lands?

    Interesting. I haven't really read Exalted and only played it couple times. I only noticed there was at least same artist and always thought that anime-style looks ok, but doesn't fit Scarn feeling. If you have read both books and get that impression, there probably is similarities, but...

    Do you take gaming awards seriously?

    Nope. However sometimes those awards give fame to some books I never would heard otherwise. In this sense they are helpful for product to become more known. So I might find some books I like and get, because I might have missed them otherwise. What comes to other infulence of awards, I don't...

    Any love for the Scarred Lands?

    Yes, there was that kinda clear theme at beginning. Then they started to give writing to freelancers who didn't kinda get it. They started to lost their theme. Major plot in books for f* sake was returning forsaken elves to normal boring elves. Sure some later books were still well written...

    Whining & Complaining

    Nope, D&D basic (an existing rule system, that is) and there hadn't even been any character deaths. He just was weird and over-sensitive person. Childhood friend, who had always been a little bit "off". He survived to adulthood, though he is still very shy and timid and laughs at "wrong"...

    Whining & Complaining

    Every one I have ever played have whined at some point, but only few of them are total whiners. There was one player who always bought new books and demanded to use stuff in them. And if dm was kind enough to allow it, he picked most overpowered things there were, or could have been, in his...

    Any love for the Scarred Lands?

    Made a long post and lost it. But shorty. I love scarred lands, thematically awesome, lamer later books we didn't take seriously storywise. I loved the titan&god angle, were fun to use in actual play to give some flavor to pc attitudes and later epic games were really interesting. White Wolf...

    Do you GM for yourself or others?

    I certainly DM because people want me to DM. I like being player more, but I always want to control story too, but at the same time I don't like to be leader in party. Anyhow, I think DM should be main person controlling plot and rules. I don't always even play "main" character type persons. I...

    Not sure how to approach player issue

    I think you should as friend ask him why/what he doesn't like in system or game in general. It might all boil do to something like "his character". Or maybe he indeed was ok with system at first and now finds it annoying. In this case it's best to ask if he wants to finnish this game or bow out...

    Could Wolverine kill Superman?

    Does Marvel mix much with DC? Usually no. Could Wolverine kill Superman? No. Maybe if he started wearing kryptonate nail-polish, color choice matters here. Then there is always time travel. For this Wolverine would need help from friends. Then go back in time of DC universe and go kill little...

    [July] What are you reading?

    Adventure paths by paizo and comics mostly. I recently read nice comic series the Techno Priests by Humanoids (reprint often stuff first appeared, at least partially in Heavy Metal magazine). Yes, I have read lot of comics. But books, not so much. Have to do this really tiresome studing to do...

    Sucker Punch?

    For me, the movie had it's moments. I just went to watch it on whim, I haven't even seen the trailer. It felt a bit boring. I liked beginning, first battle scenario and one with dragon, rest were bit meh. Loved the soundtrack, though. Happy owner of that one.

    Average final party level?

    My last pc made lv 23 at the end of rise of runelords. There were some extra adventuring there with some houserules up to lv 52). The game is almost finished just missing some final stuff. Oh, well, that happens where there is sudden excess of RL load. I run solo campaing in Golarion with of...

    GURPS: I don't wanna play it, but I wanna buy it.

    I own around 50 gurps books, oldies and goldies mostly, I stopped getting around time when they started doing World of Darkness to gurps, and that wasn't very good job. I like(d) a lot their setting books. Very inspiring, my favories were gurps time travel and ultratech. Generally speaking...
