    What kind of setting "fluff" do YOU want to see in an RPG?

    Yes steeldragons, you summed up things nicely. Quite a lot of information is ok for setting I actually use. But I never end up using whole setting as written. Well, I did Scarred Lands until splat books which pretty much ruined/ignored many things already said (I guess freelanders didn't want...

    What kind of setting "fluff" do YOU want to see in an RPG?

    I dislike word "fluff", so not calling it so would be nice. Inspiring stuff. I like to read about interesting places, which have adventure potential. And about interesting detail with npc:s that can also create adventure potential. Other things are nice to read sometimes, but often they just...

    How big is your RPG collection?

    Used to have second biggest collection in Finland. Really. But that was 15 years ago, when I was still active in rpg clubs/larps etc. Then people compared their collections. Nowdays I really don't have any idea. Prolly not biggest unless other people sold their stuff, I never sold anything. I...

    Save me from my DM

    Not all people work well as dm. It's too bad, if his personality takes fun away. It's bit same as some people in RL work become boss, and changes into control freak and cause grief to people who have to work under him. Even if he was nice person before that position or still outside job. Dm...

    Creating a Dark Fantasy Campaign (Read 1st post)

    Interesting idea. IMO those ideas dont' make it very "dark", more like "mature". Dragon age (which I like and have played), is more of a mature and semi-realistic compared to many other games of similar genre. Then again IMO there hasn't been "dark" computer game since Harvester. What comes...

    Putting the PCs on trial for being heroic

    That kinda plots usually ruin mood and make players rebal. However I've seen it work wonderfully too, I mean part getting blamed for good deeds, but every time it worked, it happened accidently. Wasn't hard-coded dm or module plot. Oh yes and it worked in Shacled city module, though modified...

    How to stop player whining? Drama!

    Ah, yes I don't prefer that 2d10+8 etc variation, but I am actually playing in one game which goes on exactly like that, well players do, dm uses your first variation. But I think partially it's because we decided to try out Alternity system which none of us knowns very well.

    Gaming, Adults, and Growing Up

    I would find out if issue is about nature of hobby itself. If she hates you playing and hopes she can change you your realationship will be in crisis later unless you are going to stop playing, or she stops hating that you do. If issue lies more with time spent in gaming, then it's not a bad...

    How to stop player whining? Drama!

    I disagree, this varies very much from group to group. And as my personal preferance goes didn't mean break down everything by numbers, but dm should describe if opponent seems to hit really hard (power attack), or hit you very nastily (crit or backstab) etc. Lol, and I shouldn't do or think...

    How to stop player whining? Drama!

    I think there are few potential things causing bad mood. He doesn't understand all rules. I become irrated if I don't know how "physics" of game-world work. This also often contributes to charater you though is good at something but ends up sucking at it. He doesnt' trust gm. Do you actually...

    Weak Deaths

    I don't like "weak deaths", stupid on the other hand, let the one who begs it get it. When I do like "weak deaths" or dramatic, is when I don't like game, or my character and want out, from either of them. Character death is good way to "fade out". I've witnessed many "bad dice" deaths...

    What was this movie

    I've been wondering where to find it as well. I think it was originally tv-movie. If anyone knows if there is any dvd-version out I'd like find that film. I was thinking what was name of that film I kinda vaguely remember, because it was very interesting and fun when I saw it first time. I'd...

    What was this movie

    I'd love to have some help. I was thinking one movie I have very vague memories. It's sort of fantasy/detective/lovecraftian story. There is detective, virgin girl, unicorn, wizard dad who wants to sacrifice his daughter to gain power (well gain something anyway). It had other fantastic...
