    Do you trust your DM?

    With my banking information? Heck no. With anything related to my PC? Of course. By the rules, and without any fudging, at any time, he can kill my PC. So what's the point of not trusting him? Wether or not he hates me will be clear soon enough.

    Bye Monte!

    Actually, regardless anything else, I doubt Monte will just disappear from the Internet anyway. He's always been extremely approachable, and quick with responses to any issue. Even if he does dissassociate himself with the RPG industry as a whole, I'd be willing to bet that he'll be there to...

    How do we prepare to fight a dragon about which we know nothing?

    If you truly feel that way, and if the other players do too, I suggest leaving the city to be razed, expending resources to help it be evacuated. The DM will sputter, and ask "WTF?". At that point, you explain that, given what you could figure out, you fully expected your party to be ran over...

    Her journey to the Dark Side is complete

    As a married man who's quite happy that his wife has no interest in D&D, I'm glad it works for ya. :)

    How do we prepare to fight a dragon about which we know nothing?

    Well, the part about flipping through the book to learn what the dragon might do was sort of a strawman on my part, in retrospect. 1-There's so many possibilities, really, that it would be an exercise in futility for Joshu to do so. It could be a brand new kinf of dragon from the New Monster...

    Was I overplaying the creatures abilities?

    The main selling point you could use with the players in such a situation is... THE CREATURE DID THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN! That, to me, is the hallmark of a low-intelligence (and 6 is pretty low) creature. It will have a strategy that is built on it's abilities, and rinse and repeat...

    5E - What do you predict for FIFTH edition?

    I heard it will be co-authored by Diaglo and Merric.

    How do we prepare to fight a dragon about which we know nothing?

    That's not necessarly true. Unless your DM stated that taking spells/whatever from the Draconomicon was A-OK, I suggest asking him. Also, flipping through the book in order to learn what the dragon -might- be able to do/be would be pretty poor play, IMHO. In the past, as the DM ever been...

    Are we all becoming balance lawyers?

    Here is why, in my opinion, balance is important in 3E. I'll restrict my point to base classes. It was a stated goal of 3E, from the beginning, for the classes to be balanced. You might disagree as to wether or not it was achieved, but it -was- a goal. The first 9 classes were designed to be...

    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    Normand cracks his neck and rolls his shoulders, adjusting himself to not having the weight of his pack on his back. At the demand for any questions, he simply looks over his weapon, making sure it's in working order, with no sand in any of the mechanisms, and remains silent.

    I, for one, support Wulf in saying I don't want my wife to start playing D&D. I also don't want her to become more interested in poker, and am wildliy mad at the upsurge of interest in that game.

    I.. I heard that a big internet name was going to oversee the development of 4e. I can't reveal the name.. but the first name starts with Er, and the last name ends with ah. I call him Erah. Anyway. Apparently, The PHB was going to be 234 pages. But.. They'd sell it in random packages...

    Anything that has, anywhere as it's base, that M:TG is "profitable" is hugely suspect to me.

    So it's basically the same silly stuff rehashed often enough, finally uttered by someone you sorta trust, and submitted by you.. Yeah, that sounds about right.

    Article on Gen Con in Indianapolis Monthly Magazine

    Actually.. Having thought about it some more, the article comes close to the opinion that I, a gamer who doesn't go to cons, have of GenCon. So it might not be that far from the truth,

    I'll try going halfway with ya. Might be worth dropping the 'zine a line. The writer? Not so much.

    Article on Gen Con in Indianapolis Monthly Magazine

    But we're talking about an article about the 2005 GenCon. Would any opinion about it sent now really have any effect?

    Article on Gen Con in Indianapolis Monthly Magazine

    Nah. Sending the dude hate mail/e-mails would only furtrher his notion (which he probably doesn't even hold, but just ast for as an angle) that gamers are nerds. I feel secure enough with my wedding ring, and my own self, to ignre the article. Until I meet the guy in person.
