    character historys

    History is important to my characters and those that are in my campaigns. I love a good history, but most of the Players in our group have no desire to write them out, most just talk about them and call it "good enough." Our GM doesn't seem to like many of my character's history, to detailed I...

    Changing lands

    When I was about six or so I spent part of a summer with my grandparents. They were living on fifty or so acres owned by my Grandpa’s brother. I remember the land pretty well, fairly flat, dominated by corn, and cows a little ways a way. Just a couple years back my Grandma died and… oh, two...

    Player Meltdown; Input Requested

    Sounds like the guy needs a friend more then anything else. He might have gone (or is going) through something that was rather trying to him. If I were you I would talk to him, do not tell him to "get help," but rather be a friend and listen to what he was experiencing during that campaign...

    RAISE DEAD: get rid of it and make D&D better

    Role Playing is how we make it more difficult. Our Cleric bit the dust a while back (turned to stone then smashed to bits). We had to gather a finger and find someone capable of True Resurrection, then explain to the cleric why she would want to come back, and vouch for her ethics and such...

    Banning a Player from my Group. Am I Justified?

    Sit down with him, go to coffee or lunch or something, explain to him that his lack of interest in the current system is destroying your love of the game. Ask him to tell you why he refuses to go into 3.5e, and see what he says. Talk about it, tell him how you feel and tell him your intents...

    Tips for an Expectant Father

    Good Will is a pretty good place to give away or buy clothes for the little one. I have taken many loads to the donation station. Should have thought to sell them on eBay ("5 lb bag of baby clothes from preme to six months old. Best offer"), cause we need the money to buy more clothes...

    How to handle a dud of a party

    Pielorinho, I get the whole thing about showing up when you say you are going to show, and I am one of those people that shows when he says he's gonna show, and doesn't when he says- "not gonna be able to make it." I just think that people you love and care about should be given the benefit...

    Roommates: A rant and request for advice

    Sit down and talk to the others, get a feel for it, then got to your SO and have her explain. Get everyone together and talk (no raised voices). Go through the issues one at a time, see what they are willing to give in on. Remind everyone that this is not a must win situation, this is a...

    Sense of Wonder: What is it to you?

    Brother - "you make up a character, a fighter or a cleric or something." Me - "make them up? You mean like making up pretend people?" Brother - "ya, like you are making up a person to put into a movie or a story or something like that." Me - "and they don't have to be me? You mean I can...

    One piece of advice...

    A fearless man has never loved. Fear is nothing trying to become something. Every eight weeks find a blood center and give a pint. Help a stranger, ask for nothing, and you will receive a friend. Never give anyone the power to harm you, esp. those you love. No matter how you are perceived...

    Solving the Called Shot Problem

    Play GURPs. Its one of the many things I miss about the system- Player- "I have been aiming for three rounds, my to hit is an 18, fire for the throat."

    What do you miss from the good ol' days?

    Getting off work on Friday, going to Coyote6's house, taking a shower, gaming 'til 0-God-Its-What-Time-30, crashing on his floor, waking up, rousting him and DarthJaye, then getting going again. Sunday morning we'd stop. Sometimes during the weekend I would go grocery shopping, go home, and...

    Tips for an Expectant Father

    Something I don't think I saw, one of our nurses told us a simple rule about warm babies- check their ears, warm ears equal warm baby, cold ears cold baby. Check often in really hot or cold environments. Great description. One thing to add, use a thin blanket (or large burp towel) for this...

    Tips for an Expectant Father

    Something I thought of this morning- Camera- I think Aurora touched on this, but a camera, is a must while in the hospital. I went through two disposables during our ten days, only about twenty shots came out, but they are prized. Get your car seat now. Our daughter (Bug for purposes of EN)...

    The character dies in my head

    Kinda. I have this very kind, calm cleric, should be good at the political thing, but I am not, he has an 18 Cha (I am somewhere around an 8). Saturday I screwed up the campaign, and almost did some things that would have really off set the character. I like the character, but it seems to...

    Where you at? Add yourself to the EN World map

    You are kidding me! What the heck? How the hell did all our roads get so crowded then? Five people and a million cars! :D I think there was a map switch a while back, cause my group was on there then poof- gone. I think a lot of people signed in then when the map changed they were all...

    Tips for an Expectant Father

    Congrates first and for most! My wife had an emergency C Section so birthing is nothing I have a clue about. With a ten day stay in the hospital I learned that you need to get all your stuff- snacks, toothbrush, extra clothes, and cell phone into a bag and leave it in the car. Get plenty of...

    Star Trek Nemesis - Deleted Scenes

    Not a fan of the movie, but I think I would like to see that version. Seems like it might make more sense (kinda like the director's cut of Daredevil- much better film).
