    Which is REALLY the best alignment?

    NG all the way. I tried being evil once, but I just couldn't do it. I'd make a terrible assassin. :) I tried being Lawful and it almost killed me (both in character and out). And Chaotic seems to imply that you just don't play by the rules ever, like you're always sticking it to the man in...

    Medieval European influence

    Social ties. Being on the player end, it sort of bugged me at first, but re-enforcing the fact that you have social ties in all things (not just social spheres) in addition to the traditional quasi-medieval fantasy troupes grounds the roleplaying in a historical kind of way. In a game, it's...

    How much should the players know?

    As a player, I almost always want to know what's coming, but I almost always have more fun when I don't know before hand. :) If the party is fighting something that has a particular way to kill it (silver weapons, immune to certain spells, etc.) you could give an in-game elements that tip them...

    Hireling, henchmen, extras and redshirts.

    Maybe our group are a bunch of softies or Joe is a vicious dm, but we always get attached the NPCs that could become hirelings/red shirts. Hate to see them killed. Never got over loosing the Shiner gnomes (named after the beer and the caps were cheap minis). -Suzi

    What book should I get? Suggestions, please.

    If you are into crunch with a limited budget, have you considered investing in PDFs? You can get a lot of bang for your buck, and it sounds like you are a homebrewer at heart just looking for a little mechanics. While many good suggestions have been said, for monsters I'd like to add Denizens...

    How many of you came close to selling off your stuff?

    When we moved to India, we paired down to less than 1 bookshelf for all our books (not just rpgs). It was tough and we got as much as we could in PDF so we would have the information if not the physical book. Didn't regret doing though, because if we wanted something badly enough, we didn't...

    NEW YEARS: MONITOR BLOODSUGAR & WEIGHT

    This was what my optomistrist (of all people) suggested, because sometimes people only test in the morning for their fasting numbers and think everything is OK because they clock in low. However, spikes throughout the day are also a real problem too. If you can figure out a pattern, you get a...

    NEW YEARS: MONITOR BLOODSUGAR & WEIGHT

    Yeah, I'm in a similar boat. The idea of having too low a bloodsugar seems alien to me. :) I found out the hard way that massages drop your bloodsugar pretty quickly, and I was a little disoriented after I got off the table even though my bloodsugar was barely under 90. Good luck at the...

    How much to tip the pizza delivery guy?

    Joe was delivering pizzas when we started dating (I ate a lot of discounted PapaJohns :)) and my younger brother is currently deliverying pizzas while he job hunts and his wife's in law school. While their base pay is higher than wait staff, waitstaff doesn't have to drive to serve you, dodge...

    NEW YEARS: MONITOR BLOODSUGAR & WEIGHT

    I'm still battling to get my AC1 consistantly under 7.4 without meds. The doctor told me that (in addition to me losing weight and keeping the fasting numbers under 120) if I could keep the post-meals numbers less than 60 points from my pre-meal numbers, I'm on the right track to getting things...
