How would people feel about a later start time to accommodate Bubbalicious?

Trailer Park Boys has now been scheduled for Wednesday 6:30.

I'm in. Always up for the classics.

I will be beta-testing my new Trailer Park Boys game at Gen Con this year. (My Toronto gaming group will be alpha-testing it this June). Based on the popular TV show, the game will work off simple mechanics designed to enhance and emphasize the show's own special genre. Although none of the PCs...

I'm planning to put on a pickup game of my friend Steve's adaptation of Paranoia. It combined classic distopian Paranoia elements with 1990s management theory. If you do not like filling out weird, forms, don't sign up. But, if you enjoy my style of humour, as exemplified in last year's Gamma...

Yep. My most successful campaigns are the ones in which the entire world is one gigantic puzzle, where everything the characters see is actually a clue because the puzzle is woven into the very fabric of the universe. That's my style as a GM and I have been blessed to have a series of players...

BUt people don't develop confidence in the awards based on an objective assessment of the reviewing skills of the panel. They base their confidence on how credible the panel appears to be. As with any representative office, performance is part of the gig.

Yep. I had a player play a paladin who was really not at all the right person for the situation. Most people in the real world do not have D&D alignments. This guy actually was Lawful Neutral -- that was his philosophy of life. Obsessed with order, hierarchy and rules and committed to the belief...

Great idea Umbran! As is this one. PErhaps we can think about creating a Chief Electoral officer position in the ranks of the thankless volunteer jobs for someone to handle and set this thing up, also as an ombudsman for issues that come up during the two rounds of voting. I think one of the...

In my view, it would be highly problematic to deal with Tolkien in an RPG. One could create a game in which the events described in the books had already taken place. This would suck -- the big world-altering quest has been completed and the unknown has been revealed. One could creat a game...

I think we'd see a lot more tumbling high-int fighters in masterwork chain shirts, and a lot more magic device using sorcerors and, to a lesser extend, wizards. I think we'd see a few loss rogues and a lot fewer bards. I also think that a lot more people would get stabilized in combat by other...

This just had to be excerpted as a quality fur tunnel. Well done!

My regular Thursday night group is an ethanol-powered gaming dynamic. My Sunday night group is a different social contract and involves less drinking. It really depends on the social contract you have established for your group. I like everything from dry games to drunk games, provided...

Yes. I bought the stuff because I'm an RQ junkie. Yes. No. They may tell cool stories but I don't like Lieber's style.

I think the new RQ system is adapted very well to Newhon. I don't really care much about art and maps; what interests me in a setting is (a) how well matched the rules are to the world and (b) what kinds of questions the books answer. On both fronts, I think Mongoose's RQ setting material both...

EDIT: Didn't notice Mr. Cow already told my annecdote.

Stuart Parker. The judge bios page also matches handles to names.

Hey -- just voted. Now I'll hand out my campaign posters.
