    Why Games Workshop is not a good business

    GW bashing... You can't blame the entire company for the way that you feel that one store's employees don't seem honest and trustworthy to you. I've been to plenty of dark-dingy hobby stores that make my skin crawl and immediately take a 180 out of. I'm sorry it sounds like the GW by you...

    Stupid Monsters Part 3

    I've used the calzone golem myself and I really think it adds a lot of fun to the adventure. Plus they get to eat it if they don't die from hot cheese /splash dmg.

    Handling Cheating

    I tell them if they have to cheat to have fun then they are actually losing. We have 1 player in my group that make "amazing" rolls all the time and he does a lot of rolling up for characters as I kill his characters quite often.

    Do any on you know how to smith weapons and armor IRL?

    Only thing I can add is that ore for iron or steel swords is usually taken from river beds from forested areas that is prone to forest fires. This is usually in the form of black dirt.

    Cloth Maps

    I like drawing maps in paper grocery bags and spilling a little coffee on them. Then I roll it up in a ball, open it up and do it over until it is soft.

    Forgotten Realms Characters From The Real World

    D we will not make references to the forbidden cartoon again. I'm pretty sure that most of Gygax's grey hawk personalities were played as characters in his original group, and some of Jeff Grubb's as well(dragon bate and Elias.). Other than that, I'm not sure. I know Salvatore just made up his...

    Labyrinth Combat

    Remember that other people/creatures get stuck in the maze. Also that everyone needs food, water and shelter. Let one of them get hurt and it happens in a dead magic zone(no healing) and make it so one character has to remain down to heal as other players explore to find food, wood and water...

    Bottle of wine and im schtill sober *hic*

    I've been DMing for around 6 years straight(every other weekend,) and I drink beer the whole time. Usually at the end of the night(after 8-9 of pure gaming awesomeness) I've put down at least 14-20 beers. As an adult i feel everyone is allowed their choices and if you're not having fun, you're...

    Players: Do you wear/carry "props" to the game?

    Usually when dm'ing I wear various DM shirts, one says, "if you continue to annoy me I start rolling wandering damage," another is just a print of the d&d boxed set. When I'm a player(rarely) I usually play a gnome specialty priest of mystra and I wear a felt red pointy hat I made and a fake...

    Most loved or hated NPC of all time?

    I had an NPC called "Yummies" that was a small baby sized demon that only said yummies. It would follow players around saying yummies and point to it stomach. It couldn't be killed and if the characters fed it, it would puke up another yummies and the process doubled. If they didn't feed it...

    What is the best Schtick you've ever...

    I usually DM a second edition group and have been for years now, but one day one of the players offered to run a short campaign so I can take a break. I immediately dove in to a couple 4-packs of guinness and came up with my drunken monk named Feng Wang. His deal was that he gave up all...

    Life without Hit Points

    I don't know if it current incarnation is like this, but Shadowrun 2nd had a damage modifier bar that all characters possessed. It went from stunned to dead, and I've always loved it. It dictated what you condition was based on what type of damage you took and it allowed for damage of one type...
