    How do you pronounce "Drow"?

    I prefer to rhyme "drow" with "go," similar to the way in which the word "trow" [to think, to suppose] is pronounced. However, my nephews prefer to rhyme "drow" with "cow" (the official pronunciation), and as I play in their group, I too have acquired this more popular variant.

    Hmmmmm! I think next time I play, I'm gonna try doing it in the second person. Thought oughta confuse the DM! :p

    World Aids Day - remembering Angelsboi

    People used to occasionally confuse me for Angelsboi because my name is similar to his. I used to post "I'm not Angelsboi!" pretty frequently. It's funny, I was just thinking about him yesterday. I knew who he was and how he died, and I knew today was World AIDS Day, but I didn't connect the two.

    How many female gamers in your group?

    We are a pitiful group, these days. Once I played with my three nephews and their friend, and it was good. Then two of my nephews quit, but the friend gained a girlfriend who joined for a few sessions. Alas, she has a baby now, and we play at their apartment where she doesn't have time to...

    Women Gamers vs. PCs/DMs Significant Others

    Huh, good point! I often read that as meaning, "So there's no romantic interest and I'm not giving her special treatment." Maybe I'm just soft in the head though. Or covering up for one of my own failings many years ago (when I, as the DM, let *her* have a purple pony just because she wanted...

    Do you "tease" your players?

    We start every session with the question, "What the heck did we do last session?" Usually it's followed by, "Doesn't anyone remember?!" My players don't like teasers. They won't listen to them, won't read them. They think they're "boring." I hate my players. ...buncha stoopid fatties...

    Women Gamers vs. PCs/DMs Significant Others

    I have known three women who played the game solely for the sake of playing the game, and (hmm let's see now...) five women who have played at least in part because they wanted to do stuff with "their guy." That's out of dozens and dozens of players total. I feel my experiences have involved a...

    Just because he's a PC?

    I once played a character who could not speak the Common language, and no one in the group could communicate with him. But I was also taking Norwegian language lessons at the time, so I spoke really bad Norwegian when I was in character, and put my fingers in my ears and hummed annoyingly when...

    Suggestions for learning combat?

    It couldn't hurt to ask one (or more) of the other players to just do a little side-battle--out of game, not actually killing your characters of course--so you can get a feel for what's going on. My players often face-off with one another if they're sitting around waiting for the game to start. :)

    I've only got one, but it's a d2000. (And I still rolled a 3.)

    How else do you store dice? (Besides dice bags.)

    I found a plastic Kraft peanut butter jar in my neighbour's trash which I use to store my spare/old/damaged dice.
