    Facing: Cool or Lame?

    Forget about squares vs. hexes. Möbius strip, anyone? All combat should occur on non-orientable surfaces.

    D&D in the classroom

    Have you considered going all the way and running whatever edition of D&D you played way back when? There are many free "retro-clones"; in particular, it would seem that Swords & Wizardry (OD&D) would be perfect--rules light and character generation takes about 10 minutes. Anyway, sounds cool!

    GenCon could take a lesson here!

    There was a thread about this roughly a year ago. Not a poll, if I recall correctly, but I remember being surprised at how few of the posters drink at all; and many of those wouldn't even consider playing with folks who drink at the table, no matter how little.

    GenCon could take a lesson here!

    A free beer or two probably wouldn't hurt anything. Open bar would probably be a disaster--it takes just one or two fools to ruin it for everyone.

    Are you a fudging fudger?

    It's not just a serious/good question, it is the question. Fudging? What is the flippin' point of rolling dice if you don't intend to use the result?

    What do you get out of signatures?

    I like to think my sig provides a moral compass for those who've lost their way.

    What do you think of a tick system?

    Have you seen Hackmaster Basic? How 'bout: weapon ticks = (max weapon damage)/2, move tick = 5 ft, 10 ft if running, spell ticks = spell level.

    Design Challenge: prison-playable RPG rules

    You can easily make a d4 or d6 with paper. If you don't have tape/glue, use one of the various sticky bodily fluids.

    Hybrid D&D: Combining editions (especially 3E and 4E)

    After reading Hackmaster Basic, I've been toying around with incorporating the "count up" combat system into O/A/Basic D&D. I want to keep it as simple as possible, but still have that real-time feel....

    Was AD&D1 designed for game balance?

    Actually, it sounds like you mean the Law of Large Numbers (probability theory).

    Uh, no thanks, I'll play this instead.

    Diplomacy. Getting stabbed/eliminated is always rough, but some folks take it personally, which isn't fun to see.

    Interesting article about magic in RPGs

    Nice analogy. I'll try and remember this next time I get asked "What is the fourth dimension?" by one of my students (whippersnappers), most of which play WoW or some such.
