The Navy.

I'll give you an AD&D (1e) answer. To move up and join melee, you have two choices: 1. Close to Engage 2. Charge If you "close to engage" you cautiously approach the enemy and begin fighting. However, no attack rolls are actually made that round: instead, you're circling, you're feinting...

I almost always roll them. Usually, I'm running original D&D and using d6s for hit dice. I have a bunch of d6s. I'll roll the monster hit points and use the dice to keep track of them.

This is what will ultimately decide whether "pay to play" is "valid" or "good:" whether it's profitable and sustainable. Do enough people think that the store is providing something of value, such that they're willing to pay X amount for it? And that is the question you should ask yourself: is...

Short answer: I'd pay the fee if the service or entertainment provided was worth the $5, to me. Longer answer: I think it's reasonable for a store to charge for use of its space; retail space is valuable. However, if I'm paying, I'd expect the space to offer something of value beyond the...

Mario Batali. He'd be in charge of snacks. And I have a sneaking suspicion he'd bring along a case of wine.

I have no idea. I thought the 1e grey box of the Forgotten Realms was decent, but I never ran it and ended up trading it to a friend (for a copy of Victory Games James Bond 007 -- I think I came out ahead on that). That was pretty much the extent of my interest and involvement with the...

That *is* how I play D&D, so yes. Maybe. I'd probably just play Stormbringer or Runequest, instead. Yes. I've played D&D like this, using the Lankhmar supplement for 1e AD&D. Feels more "swords-n-sorcery" to me. Probably. This doesn't sound terribly different from what I do when we don't...

I think there are two major archetypes: Man of Action Man of Magic A Fighter is a mighty man of action. A Magic User is a man of arcane magic. A Cleric is a combination of the two major archetypes: he's part man of action and part man of divine magic, but not as good at either as the "pure"...

Beavis & Butthead forever ruined Balls to Wall for me. I can't hear the song without this immediately coming to mind: YouTube - ‪Beavis and Butthead Accept Balls To The Wall‬‏

Theme song for the thread. YouTube - ‪AC/DC - Big Balls‬‏

Oh no, not another "let's compare balls without ball-warring" thread! The ball-(myth)-busting agenda has been worked enough. With all due respect, ball-comparison threads are beginning to bore the heck out of me.

My picks would be: Call of Cthulhu Traveller Tunnels & Trolls Faery's Tale (probably with a dark "Brothers Grim" spin) If you're into indie/story games, there's probably a bunch that would work. I believe S/Lay w/Me was designed for two people. You might also check out the Mythic GM...

AFTER ACTION REPORT Going in, I was cautiously optimistic. Both players were dubious, at first, and the GM Emulator felt a bit awkward to all of us, but after the first scene or two it smoothed out and we were well into the swing of things. I could tell everyone was having a good time during...

Some time ago I bought the PDF of the Mythic Game Master Emulator. Last night I finally gave it a try in an off-the-cuff game with two players. I still acted as the GM, but with no prep, no adventure, and no idea what would happen (or even how this would work out). Mostly, I wanted to see how...

I'm kicking myself for not picking up more of the RQII and Elric/RQII line during the sale: the only one I bought was Elric of Melniboné. Anyway, since then, recent purchases include: Mongoose RQII Empires Mongoose Cities of the Young Kingdoms: The South Chaosium Sailing on the Seas of Fate...

Depends on the campaign. Sometimes I'd rather do "zero to hero," and sometimes it's more appropriate to start out as a hero. Thus, I like a game system that supports both. For D&D, I use the original approach: 0 level - You're a normal man. You might even be an average career mercenary...

Sliced cucumber with a couple of sprays from one of those 1C per spray salad dressing is one of the better low-calories snacks, for me. Air-popped popcorn works, too.

Every time his PC levels, give the player a cookie. When each PC in the group has leveled, throw a party (this could range all the way from "party hats, charades and fondue" to "hookers and blow," depending on your group's concept of "party").

Beer. Duh!
