To cast aside all modesty, Silk Road is going to kick butt. I first got the spark of an idea a month or two after Ecology and Culture came out, but we were wiped out after convention season, and we wanted to get Monster Geographica and 1 on 1 rolling. I've finished the bulk of research and will...

Joe got something like that for our first anniversary. I really appreciated them because they are something I wouldn't have bought for myself but something I use and like to have around. The best wedding gift we got was from a bunch of Joe's friends. They wrote poems that reminded them of Joe...

More than meets the eye. *bump*

How much vodka do you run through on cape cods and screwdrivers? :) If you get vending machines, you can cover the healthy eaters (juice, gatorade, ice tea, pretzels, baked lays, etc.) with the "Mountain Dew and Cheetos" constituencies. When we game at stores, it's mostly snaking and...

Loony Labs has tons of games to play with pyramids. I know you can get sets of pyramids and the booklet separately. I would recommend it for people who enjoy spacial oriented games. They also have some fun card games that are off the wall, but some of them are really more appropriate for more...

It's zen-like simplicity juxtaposed with the infinite strategy make my brain hurt. If you pick it up, start by limiting the board size (I think they start people playing 9x9). And don't be fooled by false eyes.

I have no angist against the different races (even the ump-teen variations of elves...). I think of them the same way as cultural groups within humanity, except making them a different race makes for sense mechanically (due to the different abilities etc.) Minions by Bastion has a lot of cool...

Just remember: Everything you give an NPC will end up in your players' hands. Eventually.

We had one guy who is not very good at math and he's forgetful with the temp bonuses. We joke that one day we will get him an abacus. At our table, it's up to us to remember. We roll attacks and damage, we add everything up, and tell the GM. If we remember any last minute things before he moves...

The feat you are looking for is Multiwaepon fighting (which you could apply to multiple heads with little difficulty). Basically, it's for monsters with lots of arms (or other appendages that hurt) and it takes the place of two-weapon fighting feat for creatures with more than two arms. In...

I see your points. Ok, if he's special in one way, he's vulnerable in another. Darling radiated null magic zone, but she was also deaf, mute, and couldn't benefit from magic. If you make a condition like that (one that implicitly has a benefit and a negative within Midnight and the d20...

It's moments like this that I really appreciate being happily married. And a hottie. :)

The skill you can hone most effectively in marriage is assigning blame. Not that's its important, but well often exercised nonetheless. :) And there has to be a synergy bonus or circumstantial bonus in there somewhere...

Blokus (sp?) is a lot of fun. It she like puzzles or tetris, she'll probably like it. I generally get board with territory/stategy games, but Blokus is like go dressed up with tetris-like pieces and colored plastic. But I'm a simple monkey. :) It's typically for 4 people, but Joe and I play 2...

OK, I perused the replies and haven't seen this one yet. My apologies if it has been said already. Make your player "special" in the world concept. Like Darling in the Black Company books. Don't tell the other players, but work it into his character (either with or without his knowledge...

The Aquarium is really fun and takes a few hours. It's just off the pier (where they launch the dinner cruise ships). Get a muffalata at the Central Grocery Store. One should be enough for 2 people :), and if you get it to go, you can have a nice, inexpensive lunch by the water. Meterie (sp?)...

Ok, I'm ready to commit to one session... Sign me up for SG1. I'm such a whore for SG1. -Suzi

How big is the mercenary company? Is it a small band consisting of only your PCs? Or are they merely a cell within a larger band? Or are they suppose to act "independent" of each other (each man for himself)? When we had one of our regular players leave (DM rotation), we merely added up the...

None blacker.... :) *now we will chaffe out the true nerds*

I know last year, the organizers of GM's Day tried to have linked websites and chairmen to get the word out and have a central location (or web ring) to show which companies were celebrating GM's Day. It was a lot of work since there are many companies, and collaboration is always more work than...
