Days I work (3), about 1-2 hours. Days I'm off (4), about 4-6 on average. That's including all the stuff I do out of simple interest/hobby rather than gaming, but that can have strong effects on my game, such as reading history / nature / fantasy books, watching history and military history...

Voted monks for pretty much the same reasons as the others above; they've just never fit in well with the standard D&D universe as presented in the vast majority of the books and modules. I'm sure it doesn't have anything at all to do with having lived with Anime Boy and Spud Ninja back in college.

I think D&D's conventional thought doesn't always lend itself to the saintly artifact type of thinking, especially if the PCs are the ones to be made saints. I can't ever see a PC's blessed sword or holy cape ever being kept out of the greedy hands of his fellow adventurers long enough after his...

Wait a minute, you mean that's not a chess set? Ewwwwww Good writeup, we likes it very much we does :)

Another one here who needed the "off the rack campaign, but then with heavy tailoring" choice, but I picked #1 as being the closest. Anyone who's used the FR would recognize the campaign, but anyone who thought they could use the sourcebooks or novels as a divination spell about everything would...

There's the pulp Super Scientist, the bronze-skinned, hyper-intelligent scientist-explorer-philanthropist-race car driver-neuro surgeon (Doc Savage or B. Banzai) who invent time travel/antigravity/world-shattering weapons all over lunch and then go forth to conquer the universe and other...

What? No beard? Didn't think we were supposed to get into the kinky stuff...

I think much of the truely alien monsters would have nothing recognizable as porn to us. Beholders, for example, are often described as finding any beholder whose shape and body form deviates even in the slightest from theirs as abhorent and an abomination, so they might be the world's greatest...

*Never eat anything buggering your head. *Feed a chuul, starve a flumph (or is it feed a flumph, starve a chuul?). *He who fights and runs away may be hunted down by the survivors of his party. *Half an (ear)lobe is better than none if you have a 13th level cleric. *Charm is in the eye of the...

One of my favorite Hirst Arts creations I've seen was a castle that was complete with garderobe; thought it was a very thoughtful touch. Privvy

Nahh, Gimli did it first :) Brings up an interesting theory that orcs are maybe the result of cross-breeding elves and dwarves. Helps to explain the pointed ears, the theory of "corrupted elves", the beards, the kilts, and the predilection for axes. Also helps explain why they hate and are...

Awfully nice, Scorch! Particularly like the sewer pieces. Inspired me to make some of those when I get the new house next month and unpack my molds again.

*shoves his 2L Diet Code Red behind the sofa* What? :) Now that my group and I have fallen back to a monthly game due to schedule conflicts :( , we generally make the game our eat out together night as well, whether that means going out for steak or sushi, or just picking up subs on the way...

I put in a good bit of time into each session, with maps, handouts, props, weather tables for the next few months, encounter tables, NPCs statted out with combat options considered, plaster dungeon pieces assembled, etc. Fortunately, I never throw away an NPC, magic item, plot idea, etc., and...

Neither hide it or proselytize it. My family, friends, and the people I work with know that I game and am into sci-fi, cartoons, and fantasy, just as they know I'm into gardening, painting, and movies. They take it as who I am and what I do, just like I know a lot of them are into things I don't...

Tell my son "No, you're NOT putting up a black light in the living room!"

Generally, it's new character at average level. I'm working on incorporating the ideas behind Ghostwalk (if not the actual setting) into the campaign.

Which may help explain this Larry Leadhead cartoon :)

Took this totally wrong, the words "dancer" and "New York" stuck in my head and I got this image of the Tarrasque in tails and a cane dancing down the street singing "Putting on the Ritz"

I think it was probably an unfortunate choice of words on Merric's part and a (purposeful?) misunderstanding on the part of those condemning him. I read "my poor, dumb players" the way I'd cringe and say (and have heard other people say) "that poor, dumb bastard" if I saw a player get blindsided...
