    Pizza. Do you call it 'pie'?

    I vaguely remembering my parents calling it a pizza pie back in the 70s, but most of the pizza shops where I grew up made pizza in rectangular trays and you typically just purchased pieces or a "tray" if you wanted the whole thing.

    Your first Underdark minis?

    My cases got "rescheduled" by UPS and don't arrive until later today... :(

    In-Character versus Out-Of-Character

    I chose 60% Conversations between characters and with NPCs. Some players do it significantly more than others. It really depends on the person and how they approach RPGs and their level of comfort with "acting" per se. I know some gamers who will *never* speak in anything other than...

    I refuse to DM 3/3.5 past 7th level. How about you?

    I've run games at 1st, 30th, and everywhere in between. Other than requiring a bit more forethought for encounters and challenges, I don't think that the preparation time is much more for higher level games. Of course, I don't even pretend to try to look through every book to customize...

    Nice collection there Merric. Makes me wonder what the average collection size is out there?

    Transparent spell effect grids

    You can get these from the RPGA tournaments. Or try searching for "RPGA" on eBay.

    Most Outrageous Weapons

    Way back in high school I knew a DM who handed out the triple-bladed sword from The Sword and the Sorcerer... It was a Vorpal blade with a slew of other powers, and the two side blades shot off of the hilt, of course... :\

    Unpolite and happy about it! UPDATED 11/04/05

    I've had a few bad players, but no one to this level! I definitely wouldn't have any bad feelings about booting him out, and I'd certainly approach the other GM about doing so as well.

    Potion of Healing or Potion of Cure Light Wounds?

    I agree that it helps keep track of what the items actually are, as Teemu stated, but for in game flavor, I prefer using Potion of Healing or other less-crunchy descriptions. Likewise, I never hand out generic +2 keen swords - items like that are always singularly made items with other features...

    Hair spray and spandex did mix for a time...

    Let me guess - Empire? (Youngsters! Makes us old metalheads shake our heads... ;) ) The Warning exemplified their best long before commericalism took hold of them, and build upon their EP's sound and style immensely. I'd put it just a notch above Rage for Order, which was a bit more...

    Queensryche is your philosophy instructor whereas Maiden is your history professor.

    Skid Row did put on a good show. However, Maiden always put on an *awesome* show... :)

    What about a reviewer do you want to know?

    Trouble with whom? Your reviews are based on your perceptions, knowledge, and understanding. If you are so worried about how other people think of your background, then how can you even stand to write a review - reviewers need to have a thick skin, because someone will always disagree with...

    What about a reviewer do you want to know?

    For me to trust a review, I need to have a certain level of confidence that the reviewer has a strong knowledge base on which to judge the product, has a professional manner and demeanor, and is not biased for or against any particular product. So, that translates to knowing what systems they...

    [Halloween] How many Tick Or Treaters?

    Maybe about 35 this year. A bit down from last year - but then a lot of families moved out of our subdivision and the new people either don't have children or very young ones.

    Iron Maiden. Up the Irons! (Edit) Just saw the post from Warrior Poet. Glad to see another *true* metalhead here! ;)

    Holiday Themed Sessions

    Great game that! I'm just glad they put a FAQ and errata online, because some of the scenarios were really confusing as originally written.

    GM's: what was your first module?

    B2 - Keep on the Borderlands. I remember a late August evening, listening to Journey on the radio and filling in the optional maps with details on where each and every barrel of honey mead, ale, and beer was located in the bar. :)

    Halloween: Love it or hate it?

    It's always been my favorite holiday, and I always try to do more and more to celebrate it each year. Between the decorations, the trick-or-treaters, the scary movies, and the entire vibe of the holiday - it's just a perfect mix of joy with a touch of the macabre thrown in. Delicious.
