    What is the most despised race?

    KENDER Aaaaaaaaaargh! We've met several kender in our Warhammer campaign and they had two traits in common: BLATHER (a skill: you rant incoherently, forcing your opponent to roll any kind of check (can you keep your cool, are you diverted, ...) NO FEAR (they literaly have no fear, go read...

    What's your screenname mean?

    There be dragons & tigers here... My first nick was Tiger Alpha (or T-alpha). I was very much more a computer geek at that time and not yet involved in gaming (except computer games). One thing I dreamed of was being member of a tiger team, a team of experts supposedly sent in (covertly) to...

    What is your most memorable role playing moment?

    Two kinds of memories... (sorry for the lengthy post…) For me there've always been two kinds of great moments. First off, there are the great ROLLplaying moments: - Only last week, in this ADnD campaign where I'm currently running a bard, I ended up in a gambling competition with a...

    Your first character

    Pre-first & First Pre-First: I consider this character pre-first as at the timeI had no clue as to what we were doing. Some friends at my FLCS (friendly local comics store), which I frequented as they were the only outlet at the time to distribute L5R cards, asked me to sit in with this cool...

    Hit Points, Vitality Points, and Visualizing Damage

    Use whatever you like Actualy, using vitality points does not prevent a game from getting gory, it is just another way of dealing with the craft and skill of your character. And in some cases (like Star Wars Jedi powers) it allows doing extraordinary stuff. And offcourse, a DM is free to...

    What makes D&D, well... D&D?

    The Players.... Hmm maybe a vague answer, but here goes: To me, it's the players together with the DM that make DnD DnD (or any other setting for that matter). I've played in several groups (5 last time I counted) and have DM'ed a DnD3e and a warhammer group. Each system invokes a certain...

    How do you feel when the DM rules that you lose all of your items?

    I don'tmind at all! If there's a game/plot/any kind of reason for the DM to do it, I don't care one bit. And lats face it, there's enough circumstances where the loss would be logical. One rule I've adopted as a player: never depend entirely on items or magic. Items can be lost and magic can be...

    How do you handle campaign cheaters?

    Turn the table, but kicking out remains key If I find out one of my players is cheating, at first I'll not realy bother untill the cheat becomes obvious, ir is disruptive. Generaly I'll then "cheat back" by sidestepping the cheat or changing the plot/setting/encounter to ignore the cheat...

    Third Edition Culture- Is is sustainable?

    The Core to the game, with one small addendum... This is THE core to the roleplaying experience! I would just like to add: Don't let the rules hijack the game! Unless, offcourse, as a GROUP you like playing the rules... IMHO, RPG'ing is the greatest game simply because of the freedom you...

    Favorite Beer?

    What to choose... First off, I'm from Belgium, and since in Belgium we have 300+ different beers choosing is tough. Just to name a few: I guess my all time favorite is Orval (a beer brewn in a Monastery) When I can find it, a close second would be Cantilion Kriek, a pretty unique beer...

    How long did it take your PCs in *real* time to complete the Sunless Citadel advent

    Long yet short ... My group took 2 years, but actualy only 11 sessions. They were all first-timers when we started (maybe one or 2 introductory sesisons before the Citadel proper) and because of very diverging schedules we sometimes played 2 weeks in succesion and then have to wait 2 months...
