Nope, it's another lay-off and it's three persons: From http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/307757-ampersand-400-bill-s-leaving-wizards-coast-others-2.html#post5601451 and from...

Killing and Looting everyone you encounter.

Ok, switched for some other images of the same subjects.

I played a pixie sorceress in a 3E campaign. We did the Savage Tide campaign arc from 1-20 at half recommended XP + lots of additional side adventures. (I was one of those that clamored at the DM to give us less and less XP for each adventure - we did not want the campaign to end...) She had...

Toot -toot with friends were really cool in the books, so I can well imagine wanting to play one of those if playing Dresden Files...

Things should be quirky, wild, weird, wonderful and magical! Items that just are balanced pluses automatically added up for you by a computer program, checkboxes in a pre-planned numeric progress curve maximizing optimized utilization... Well, they fit better in a Dilbert cubicle world than in a...

I absolutely love the various polymorph and shapeshift spells; from "alter self" and upwards. I like how they can enable you to explore situations in new and interesting ways, and even better is if they are a bit tricky to get out of, so that you can explore new interesting drawbacks tied to the...

My feelings of inadequacy got a good boost from my GM reserving the really juicy special character options for the players who were "so good they deserved them"...

"Doing something constructive"? Try "things go so bad for me because I am such bad player, and people don't listen to me because I am such a dislikable person, and I cannot do anything right, and... and..." :(

My experience is with longtime depression. To me, all the things that can make you feel a little better when you are down becomes much, much more important, such as e.g. comfort eating and, yes, comfort gaming. It cuts both ways, though. The gaming highs are higher and the good spots are more...

As I see it, flanking, range and spell areas can be hand-waved rather easily, as long as the players trust the DM to handle it; the one thing that you really need a tactical map for is visualizing ZOC:s and opportunity attacks. However, these are really some of the most serious time-wasters...

Sure, my weekly rules-light game almost never has maps. Sometimes I throw together a quick one in order for my players to visualize the overall layout ("The stable is behind the manor") but those never has some kind of measurable scale. Terrain I simply describe appropriately; either as...

As I see it, there are several types of player recruitment. For example: A) You have a specific campaign idea and access to a larger pool of potential players. You pitch the idea to everyone in the pool, and select among those interested. B) You have an existing group of friends, and you want...

It's my experience that horror scenarios usually end up just another kind of monster to bash. In order to feel fear and uncertainty, something you care about and have an emotional investment in must be threatened. For example, if you have long-standing PC:s or NPC:s with a lot of in-game...

I DM a small two-player campaign Friday evenings - it started as a one-off to try out the rather tongue-in-cheek Maid RPG. We just played our fifty-fourth weekly session... Thursday evenings DM an even smaller one-player campaign. Started as a filler for when one of the players above were...

Got a good source for that? I don't disbelieve you, but I'd like to retell this to people I think will insist on a source... :) :)

True. In the Shadowrun game I played in for many years, guards, watchmen and policemen were mowed down by the hundreds. But looking back now on the grittiness, food shortages and general urban decay of the setting, it's hard not to see those as poor slobs in a lousy job just trying to feed...

Note that there are many reasons that you can be attracted to various RPGs beside violence. You can be attracted to other elements of the various genres, such as the being able to use magic, encountering fantastic milieus, interacting with fantastic creatures, or playing fantastic races. Not...
