    We don't have the 15 Minute Adventure Day Problem

    Yep. Yet another here who doesn't have the 15-minute adventuring day. I've never even heard about it until I saw the concept mentioned online (I know there's a couple of people here who don't like hearing that... Too bad.)

    What is too silly for D&D?

    Indeed. Whoops. Inconsistent statements. ;) (Of course, this does explain a lot...)

    November '08: What are you playing?

    Still going through Tales of Phantasia (GBA). This game is tremendous fun, and I'm really looking forward to going through the rest of the Tales series. Fantastic. Wife & Friend: Rock Band (PS3). Trying to get as many stars as we can and finish it, so we can move on to RB2. Almost 900 stars...

    What is too silly for D&D?

    Not much. Anachronisms and pop-culture references, I guess. That's about it. Certain monsters? Hell no... I definitely don't think some monsters are silly like certain ENWorlders do.

    Do you like modrons?

    I absolutely love modrons, since 2e Planescape and DiTerlizzi's 're-imagining' of them. Edit: Further, the Great Wheel cosmology is the only cosmology I care about. Totally agree. That's how they appear (on the extremely rare occasion that they do appear) in our games. The PCs are always a...

    Was Reading My Mentzer Expert Rules and What did I see?

    That there are still goofy-looking helmets around? Yeah, I suppose so.

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars Animated Series - Who's Watching?

    No. It's a brand new TV series. I decided to skip it. I'll see it when it hits DVD.

    What we all are really waiting for...

    Sorry, but for certain things, I'm a "destination is as important as the journey" kind of guy. And, indeed, you just stated one giant if... If it feels that they're going nowhere and not answering anything, then the episodes do indeed suck, and are indeed a waste of time. I find it amazing that...

    Not letting the players know how much experience they have

    This is what we do to this very day. Works great for our particular group.

    2e Boxed Sets (Forked Thread: When did I stop being WotC's target audience?)

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder - Second Darkness adventure path

    I'm getting it, but it's the worst of Paizo's APs (including the Dungeon ones) so far, IMO. Too difficult compared to the others to adapt to 'normal' campaign settings (though far from impossible - especially if you accept something like SJ, which my group does). But still... not like the...

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    My birthday is this Thursday, and I await the cornucopia of EB gift cards that shall rain down upon me. This is likely one I'll pick up, now that I've read the reviews. [Yes, you can play a female character.]

    What we all are really waiting for...

    ...Or may not. Needless to say, I'm sure glad I knew how the Sopranos ended before otherwise completely wasting my time watching the last 2 seasons. Whew, dodged that bullet! Ew. Another great example of getting a general idea as to how it ends, in case they throw a giant time-waster like the...

    Irreconcilable differences(Forked Thread: When did I stop being WotC's...)

    That's okay if you don't see it - I do. There certainly are the "usual suspects"/4e evangelists out there who certainly have a rather... adverse reaction... to any criticism (real or perceived) of 4e. (The "don't think too hard about it" gem was quite popular for a while.) And, counter to your...

    Entertainment Weekly: "Can Heroes Be Saved?"

    Interesting - all the problems they listed are certainly among the (many) problems I have with the show (though I think they were far too generous). But, hope springs eternal and all that... the quote that "Fugitives" will be nothing like (the near-unwatchable) "Villains" gave me a big thank...

    Ratio of wizards in a population?

    1) In whose nation? I'm supposing yours. The non-helpful but correct answer is: Whatever you want - it's your campaign world." For me, it's approximately 25% of what's given in the population/class demographics listed in the 3e DMG. (Same with sorcerers, clerics, and druids.) 2) Again - up to...

    Recent TPK... would you have?

    Exactly the same way you would have. Nothing any different that I can tell from the information given. But then, my players generally know what can occur and understand the risks involved in our particular games, so such a situation wouldn't be out of the ordinary... but my players also know...
