So it's not because you had wanted me to include locations in the poll other than the bedroom, then? :p

The world has changed, Morrus. Gaming has changed. A new order is sweeping... Err, sorry, got carried away there! I am not trolling. Honest! I am not even trying to use 'Sex Sells!' I am just trying to figure out how important to people's self esteem being a good GM is. An actor friend of...

Hi Rel, I agree that the poll could have been better worded. I was in a hurry to get it finished, and I forgot that they couldn't be edited. I was hoping that the text in the OP clarified things. However, I don't believe there is any "supposed" dichotomy. Note that I wasn't actually asking...

I tried that (which would you prefer) but it wouldn't have worked as well for the latter two questions, and I was in a hurry to get the poll up and you can't edit them, dammit. Re: your second point, if you add too many questions, you can dilute the point, and there will always be an option...

The questions are simple: Would you prefer it if your 'partner'* said you were a great GM or that you were great in bed. Which would hurt you more - he/she told you you were a crap GM or crap in bed. The poll is open, and private, so please tick the two that apply. Please show a little...

For those of you on Facebook, I have created a Group for GM'S Day. https://www.facebook.com/GMSDAY If you are a player pop on and say something nice about your GM. If you are a GM, click 'like' and if your players are on Facebook they might get the hint! Also, if you are doing a sale, let...

Anyone know if any RPG companies are doing any sales?

I agree. Sometimes people seem to forget that they are playing in ancient fantasy worlds populated by cultures alien to our own (and not just the cultures of the non-humans, either) and fail to acknowledge that they might behave in a way that fall outside the realm of our expectation. This is...

Hence my putting "kids of today" in inverted commas, but fair point

Just recently where I live, a bouncer king-hit (suckerpunched) an retired athlete who fell to the ground and bumped his head on the concrete. It killed him. In a similar situation, a gang of young thugs attacked a guy on the street, kicking him while he was down. It killed him. Both of these...

No problem at all Auld Grump! :) I guessed it was probably unintentional, which is why I commented. Such is the nature of written communication. I too am a wee bit grumpy - an 8 month old son dealing simultaneously with a nasty cold and teeth coming through will certainly keep you up at...

No problem, and thanks for replying. I am glad that it was actually something you were giving thought to - your initial posts were so short that they seemed to me to be a little bit curt. I wasn't sure initially if you were actually looking for an answer to the conundrum or just bagging the...

Now that you have explained it, yes(!), and it sounds perfectly reasonable. Um, are you actually a little grumpy, or am I misreading your tone?

I am happy with this as an alternate solution to the puzzle, as long as the players have a bath they can use...

Any further thoughts on this VTT? Anyone?

I will start by saying that I humbly disagree with some of your points regarding improvisation techniques. You say you can't write "Shakespeare" using Impro? Well, I can't speak for how Shakespeare did it, as I am not him, and I can't write Shakespeare for the same reason (no one can)*. However...

LOL, I'd love to see your group play. You'd just need rules on how to play your characters as nerdy weaklings sitting around a table telling stories to each other, and the picture would be complete!* *especially if you were actually dressed like Norse Metal Rockers from the 1980's. Including...

I am going to give you 6 reasons off the top of my head. I don't believe knowing the point helps you solve the riddle, mind, but you asked twice, so I am guessing that it is important to you. If my 'points' fail to satisfy you, you may have come up with your own. Ever heard of the...

Since you (kind of) brought it up - Encumbrance. Oh, and in the interest of preserving the illusion that we play heroes, I agree that we should avoid any rule that even suggests that our characters might do what we as players generally do if we bang our fingers or see a spider. I say this...

I love this. As I always said - it doesn't need to be commercialized! The idea of your kids baking you a cake for GM's day makes my day, actually :) Thank you!
