+1 for mentioning the classic of American 80's action cinema. Cobra. Crime is a disease...and he's the cure.

I would never give up all the rolls. Last night in our game a player was going to run by a warg to attack a different foe and I jokingly told him, "you sure you want to do that? He will get a free attack as you leave his engagement range and I'll probably crit you." He said yes and I promptly...

Now I'm down to 12 likes from 2013. Which means nobody really like me anymore. Mom was right!!! :(

Love it! keep these stories coming.

Ran Swords and Wizardry (OD&D clone) Sunday afternoon and again tonight.

I run S&W in a meat grinder dungeon. Stats don't matter much, there aren't any skills to speak of, and the rules are pretty sparse. Awesome! Tell me what your PC is doing and I'll adjudicate according to the rules we have and if there aren't any I'll use my best judgment and try to be...

Don't get me started on my slow poke group...

Looks pretty much like the shop I wargame at. Mostly white dudes with some women, maybe 20-25%. They do Vampire LARPing on Saturday nights though and I bet the crowd changes a bit more for that but maybe not. Though in life I have yet to meet a woman who was into playing RPG to be honest...

Yeah its a 1e/3e mashup in a way. Its saves tied to each ability kind of bled into 3e with the primes kind of being your proficiency saves. Its a good game and I ran a campaign but I switched over to Swords and Wizardry since its even simpler and runs like lightning. I would heartily...

Violence can be bad, but it can also be very necessary. In D&D its usually very necessary to get those GP and XP. ;)

I have had mixed results with the contrasts paints but some are quite nice and I think the orc flesh one will let me finally knock out those 40+ orcs I have left over from the WFB boxed set I bought back in the 00's. I wonder if I can use only contrasts and bang out that entire lot in one...

They had the original Braunstein stuff at GaryCon and it seemed far more like LARP than anything else to me. LARP with props, which I think is just LARP.

We never ran hirelings or henchmen until my current S&W game and usually ran one PC, one power gamed out, min maxed, "sure I rolled those stats..." PC each. But we didn't run though a lot of the classic modules. Wish I had.

AD&D for us back in the 80's was 3-6 players. Though most modules were written for 6-10 PC. We just never had that many people to play.

As a referee/DM I really don't differentiate between someone saying to me as if they are a PC and I'm the king, "Your grace, your honor and integrity are legendary thought your realm, as is your sense of justice and mercy...etc, etc." and "OK Aaron, Bill (the players PC) is going to go talk to...

Of course I assume the players are going to use some of their own experience when they are playing this game. I don't expect them to do stuff they know is wrong and die. And no Rot grubs are not a staple in games like stirges, dire striges, undead dire stirges, the stirge king, and giant dire...

Is tokeplay how they do it in Mass since its been legalized?

I disagree. Rot Grubs are wonderful, but usually only get players when they get foolish. I had a PC trying to fish out a hobbit corpse from a pit trap. They lowered him on a rope and he tried to lasso the corpse but kept failing. So he got frustrated and just grabbed it and they hauled him...

Call it whatever you will, the terminology doesn't mean that much to me. Referee, GM, DM, largely interchangeable terms for the guy running the game. And I determine the results myself for so much stuff since the game I run isn't loaded down with a rule for everything, especially talking to...
