    Transatlantic Sports Comparrisons (formerly Explain American football to me)

    The biggest draw of American football over other team sports is the tactical element (as noted above). It's a bit like chess with athletes instead of tokens. The combination of raw athletic talent and the tactical goals of the play caller (a coach, designated assistant coach, or very talented...

    OK, it's Monday. Where did you take her? How did it go? Did she enjoy your choice of activities? =)

    I... actually met a girl!

    Here is your worst case scenario. You go out on this date with her, things don't go great, and that is the last time you ever see her again outside of MySpace. Even with that worst case scenario there is a huge bright side. I don't know many guys who can say they had even one date with a model...

    I need help planning a bit date!

    You have a good start to a nice day of conversation, etc. Start with the walk by the river. Do it before dinner so the air is a bit warm compared to the evening. Then have dinner, walking will have given you both an appetite, and seated time will give you a chance to rest those legs. From...

    The history of your world

    I tend to spend a lot of time detailing the background for my homebrew games. It helps 'center' me in the campaign environment and gives me a better contextual understanding for my NPCs. Plus I just enjoy it. That being said, my players don't get exposed to heavy doses of this during character...

    Female Enboard members I need some advice....

    I'm not a girl but my wife says to go Nike on her. Odds are actually high that she will say yes unless you are in dire need of a shower. A nice date at a safe location is ideal to get to know a person better.

    Anybody have any strange dreams lately?

    Well, I dreamed that I was in a building in Iraq with a GI buddy talking to some Iraqui military people. We were prisoners and being interviewed. Then Saddam walks into the room, sits down behind a desk, and starts going over some paperwork. Seeing this I jumped into action and managed to get...

    So I've been tapped as a local d20 resource...

    Be sure to let me know the name of the store and when it opens. I intend to move back to the G.R. area after the holidays...

    Pushover DMs

    I don't like silver platters. Or rings of plot protection. When I was in college there was a major game at the gaming club (14+ regular PC's and one DM). You could not stay dead. The DM always had his favorite friendly NPC appear and save us. A friend and I got into a death race to see who could...

    Blues Clues d20?

    My wife keeps telling me that I should make a Barbie D20 for little girls. Tap a really undeveoped market. Plus, 15 years after the first edition release, gaming guys will adore me more than even the mighty Col. Playdough.... (because of the sheer volume of girls in the games). I bet the...

    PC vs. PC conflict

    The insult by the first character could come from someone of most any alignment who's in the mood to be a bit showy and competetive. Snobs and chaos lovers might do it first, but anyone with a little pride could say that. The trip action is a bit of chaos. More ordered individuals would not do...

    [ot] Polygamy abusive to women?

    To answer the original quesiton, polygamy is not inherently abusive to women, but like any relationship, abuse could happen within the confines of such marriages. As the American culture becomes more accepting of homosexual marriages (which are starting to become legal, and I think will...

    To be or not to be

    Be sure to follow up and let us know how it pans out. It's always interesting to see what another DM does to handle player needs.

    Player Characters are the rock stars of their world!

    Just remember, Marylin Manson and Ozzy are rock stars too. This spawns an idea for me, set up a foil for the "PC's as Hero's" tradition. Put a fundamental conservative NPC in the players nation who always speaks out against the "dangerous and life threatening example" the PC's are setting as...

    To be or not to be

    Yes, but he seemed to indicate that he'd like to find a more RP based reason for persuit of the numbers. I took it to mean he was trying to bridge his style with the DM's.

    How many books should a game setting require?

    A campaign setting should require just two books, one for players and another for DM's. The players book should provide a very brief synopsis/snapshot of the world as they enter it. General information on who is from where and what they are like. It should then go into detail on any new player...

    To be or not to be

    By the fact that you ask this question, I presume that you want to say "yes", your little halfling has tasted some real power and is now hungry for more. To be honest, this is well within the bounds of good roleplay and you should discuss it with your DM. There are many ways this can add...

    Book of Vile Darkness

    I'll buy it for two reasons: 1) I want to see how the systems/rules for drug use, torture, sacrifice, selling of the soul, etc. work out in an "official" D&D product. 2) I've just about had it with the campy soft punch that stock D&D villians have been given for the last two decades. I don't...

    Good Spouses

    Roleplay never really bit my wife hard enough to make her want to do it, but she tried a few times even before she met me. Still, she more than tolerates it (my home is invaded weekly) and enjoys chatting with the gamers. Can't think of a single reason to voice a word of complaint, sure she'd...
