That's pretty much our situation with the video camera; it sits in the corner out of the way and is pretty much forgotten about. The reason we use it usually instead of a audio recorder is that it will record 2 hours a tape while the audio recorder only gets 45 minutes before it's time to flip...

The primary reason I play/DM is that it is a fun way to spend time with family and friends on a semi-regular basis and just have a blast together; with everyone's schedules and busy-ness, it gives us an excuse to say "ok, we have to get together next Monday, it's game night". The other reason...

My group's games tend to be about a month apart and need the same sort of recap. We use a video camera or sometimes just a tape recorder if at someone else's house to record the session, then over the next day or two it gets typed up, embellished and "storified", and posted up to the group web...

I use Weather Master for keeping track of the big picture, each day in it's log has the weather conditions broken into blocks of hours, sunrise/set, etc. All the info isn't alwasy needed but it's nice to have if it is (an early battle against the water mephit in the Sunless Citadel got nasty as...

And lucky me just getting UA today as well! A use for the Sanity rules! I think my players may find an interesting set of lenses soon. Hoody-hoo!

Baby dragon found in a jar in England. Just the sort of thing you might find in a Wizard's lab; the pic has been *yoinked* for use in my campaign :)

I also find it interesting the amount of scorn heaped on RAS as "fanboys buying reprints and collections" (not a quote, just the impression) for his popularity and amount of books sold, but a blind eye seems to be turned to JRR. *looks at the shelf behind him with the 4 different sets of LOTR...

Frank'n'furter coming down the elevator in Rocky Horror Teri Garr's in Young Frankenstein: "Vould you like a roll in ze hay?" Heck, everyone's entrance in Young Frankenstein :) Gene Wilder's entrance as the drunk Cheyenne Kid in Blazing Saddles: Sheriff Bart "Are we awake?" the Kid "That...

It took my players a two months to complete the dungeon. They had several bad experiences with Filth Fever that took them out of commission for days at a time, and took several side treks to nearby towns and other areas for training purposes, shopping, and sight seeing :) . Actual time in the...

Voted might play a non standard character at some point. Like others have said, it depends on the flavor of the campaign if I'd be in it at all; limited to the humanoid races, I'd readily jump at the chance. I personally would have a difficult time being able to "believe in" a campaign that was...

The few times I've had to garner new players, I've done the opposite approach and gave a list of what we were looking for to the person we thought would fit in best; it allowed most incompatible people to exclude themselves. We'd then invite them in for a game. It always seemed to work out OK...

On a related "note" to one of the above... My group was deep in the BBEG's lair and was low on spells and supplies. Being hunted by minions, they desperately needed a safe place to hole up. They come to a door, and one of the players stands and reaches across the table to move his mini up and...

Hrumph. You younguns got it so easy. In my day, it would done all that, and dropped them naked into a pit full of eels, sent an elite ninja squad over to their house to put bamboo under their fingernails, and awakened the Tarrasque. You kids got it so easy.

Junkyard Wars American Chopper Code Name: Kids Next Door Samurai Jack Duck Dodgers MST 3000 Can't think of any others I always try to catch or tape. edit: My wife just reminded me I usually watch West Wing with her if it's on (not to be a must see show, just to spend time with her :) ), and...

Babylon 5, Mr Bean, and As Time Goes By. I say my prayers everynight that Good Neighbors eventually makes it.

Another one here that allows them to have the HP, BAB, and any other logical "natural" abilities right up front, but have to train in downtime for the skills and such (usually). Sometimes it will be a fast forward period, other times it will be an adventure in itself (depending on whether we are...

I'll add a post to the happy category to help try and balance out the tendency to only see the negatives posting :) WOTC has made a few blunders that I haven't liked, but the great majority of what they have done and produced I'm quite happy with and trust them to continue doing so. Heck, I've...

I'll take that bet. 'Cuz Lucas, since he's the good guy, will be forced to let JD shoot first, and I'm betting JD is a better shot than Greedo :D

I miss the 1e days when I could put a character on a sheet of notebook paper, with plenty of room for history and equipment... I mostly use "amateur" sheets downloaded from the net, but am seriously considering making my own in a word processor.

I chose no set day because it fluctuates based upon everyone's schedule, but it is almost never on the weekends because those tend to be "family days" to spend with the loved ones. It is a lot easier to find a weeknight that everyones' significant others will be happy to have us out of their...
