Problem with this GMing style- Personally, I like characters with back ground, and substance that takes days and weeks to make, and work through. I know I could make up dozens of characters that have dozens of different backgrounds, quirks, and interesting little family stories, but why? I...

While I was GMing I would have the Players roll a die- highest one found themselves in the middle of a conversation- "last night I heard you say something about the Dreknar dungeon- were you looking for it?" Or- "while Mouthy, The Bard, tells tails of your adventures Observant, The Rouge Rogue...

Ya, what he said.

Nothing is ever a 10 to me, so a 9 is to high but an 8 was a good solid number that stands well. Coyote6 and I got into the theater for matinée prices, but afterwards I would have paid full price to see it. Lots of CG, but the vast majority of it was not (least 'til the robots came onto the...

The Cancer Cure that Worked written by Barry Lynes ISBN 0-919951-30-9 I would love to tell you that I know a couple of people that have used one of his machines and been cured, but its my understanding that that information might be something that could get me into prison, so I do not know...

CDs instead of toys?!?! Wow, lets help the people of the world settle into their fat-ness, at least with a toy a kid might crawl about the floor and get a little exercise. I remember them coming out. I was like you, to old for them, and to top it off we seldom ate at such places.

"Introduced by a friend" Well he was my brother and at the time not much of a friend. He quit a few years back, and started Play Testing MMOs and such (EverQuest, Star Trek, WOW, and a few others). Me, I have played more then a dozen systems, have Play Test credits in a few adventures and at...

My second gaming group was comprised all of military brats. All of them joined the military and gamed while active (well except one, he left during basic). Later I would supply my future brother in law with RPGs while he was aboard ship (no not that kind of RPG). An email buddy of mine games...

A number of times, though the GM might disagree. We have tried a number of times to get through adventures in one go, but had to retreat for supplies, or to just get healed up, or recover spells. Sometimes GMs over estimate what the Players and PCs can do and then sometimes the Players just...

Every GM I know has this one moment that the Players aren’t doing what they need to do while they are working their way through the campaign (I am not talking about rail roading), whether it be pass on information to other PCs or just talk to the NPCs about what they might know. An example-...

Congrates!!! Mom and little one look great! Be very proud. Oh, and great read, you did a good job with that write up.

My 13th level Cleric and my wife's 11th still take Remove Disease or Neutralize Poison once in a while, granted they have not been used in a while. I always try to keep a scroll of each on hand. Maybe you should try flubbing a Fort for them once in a while and just hit them with the symptoms-...

I love naming my character's gear- - Thunder - a MW Mighty (+4) Long Bow +1 - Shocking - this bow will have thundering on it, and as many bonus as I can get - Flint - Long sword +1 - was going to have Flaming and such on it, but got the next sword before that could happen. - Sliver -...

I have given this exact magic item at least twice in the last fifteen years, and my wife requested one for one of her character just last year. :) Love the idea, use it often- A hoop that cleans what passes through it (big enough for a person). A small brass dragon that moves very slowly...

Sort of- the moon rotates around the Earth every (I think) 28 days, when the moon has its backside to the sun its night on the moon, then as it comes around the Earth it becomes dawn, then as the moon rotates away from the sun, towards the back of the Earth you have day. I think I need to re...

Having been a GM- I am familar with most of the classes and such within the three Core Books, now bring in a Complete Book and I might or might not have knowledge of the classes, and abilities, which would restrict the Players options. Having a campaign vision, or possibly that I would rather...

Few campaigns back, my archer was running low on arrows, the big bad goon was about to kill out cleric and a good solid hit (crit) with his last arrow and almost max damage saved the cleric. Trying to make a final Diplomacy roll on a lasting impression after keeping village from bringing in...

Does anyone else want to slap the head honchos of SciFi for making these lame, and weak movies with second rate actors, and less then B movie quality everything else?

Now he tells me, and here I have to figure out how to get to the Moon on Tuesday for a duel. Dammit!

<same southern accent> I purpose a duel, sir, on the moon, with cream pies. Next Tuesday, at dawn.
