    Don't you love it when the players put the hook in their own mouth?

    In a recent session, I had a PC pry gems off of an alter to the biggest, baddest, evil god in my campaign, and pocket them. Another player stole a horse from the stable at the inn, never bothering to think about whose horse it might be... Ah, the possibilities are endless.

    To Prestige or not to Prestige

    If it fits your idea of your character, go for it. If not, don't do it just to get a few bonuses. That's just lame.

    Darkness just helped remedy the inadvertant thread hijack, that's all. :)

    [OT] Baseball playoffs

    It's fixed. By having the Yankees take a dive, they can erase the perception of a competitive imbalance, since they can't contract now anyway.

    [OT] Baseball playoffs

    I'd like to see Oakland vs. St. Louis, but after Oakland's performance today, and Rolen's injury, I'm not so sure.

    What do you look for in a Gaming Store?

    Space. I like having space to move in the aisles and such. One near me does not have this at all, so I rarely go there. The D&D section is crammed in the back corner behind a wall. I'm not a big guy, but I'd like to be able to back up more than a step before knocking over a wall of...

    Adventures in Naming!

    He's a fiendish Amish jungle king haunted by an iconic dead American confidante. She's a virginal insomniac wrestler with someone else's memories. They fight crime! He's a one-legged pirate shaman on his last day in the job. She's a foxy communist opera singer with a knack for trouble. They...

    My wife won't let me play D&D.

    I would never claim to be an expert on women, but I can guarantee that trying to trap one with logic is a really, really bad idea. This is clearly an emotional, rather than logical, situation for her, and should be treated as such. It's not the fact that you're playing D&D. She's hurt by...

    Adventures in Naming!

    In the rules for my name generator, I intentionally put in a few root words and such that make for, well, less than serious names when used in combination. They come up every once in a while. For some reason, when it kicks out names (from the tavern generator) like "The Lusty Nun" or "The...

    My wife won't let me play D&D.

    Playing on the weekend is your mistake. Make it a week night. Make it a maximum of 3-4 hours, and she should be happy. That's what seems to work for me and my players. You should be spending time with her on the weekend, anyway.

    Wonder if I'm alone in this...

    Re: Re: Wonder if I'm alone in this... Agreed. I can't remember which half of The Two Towers it is, but one half took me as much time to read as the entire Return of the King book. It nearly lost me, but I was rewarded for my perseverance.

    Wonder if I'm alone in this...

    Ugh. If he had a hard time dealing with Tolkien's style in the Hobbit, he's going to hang himself before he's a quarter of the way through the Silmarillion. That book is dry and the writing is murky. It is what freed me from my Tolkien reading obsession.

    How did you get into D&D?

    I was writing a CRPG that I wanted to be kind of like the Gold Box series of games. I was at the bookstore looking for reference materials, and saw the MM for sale, and thought it would be great for giving me creature ideas. A couple years later, I bought the Player's Handbook because it...

    The sweetest roll…

    I once played a rogue of low to marginal strength. In a solo adventure, he was forced to break into a fort to rescue a captured party member (his best friend). At one point, he desperately needed to pull this gigantic lever in order to close the porticullis, blocking the advance of some...

    DM's... do you identify with your NPC's??

    I get attached to some of my NPCs, but not every barkeep and shopkeeper in every little town the PCs pass through. I do have a few that seem to pop up in every campaign I run, though.

    [OT] The 'Which ... Are You?' signatures

    Am I the only one who hates signatures with pictures in them? Seriously, if there was a way to block those, but keep the text ones, I'd do it.
