    DM seeking advice and tips

    My thought would be that anyone playng a Cleric n Ravenloft has an dea of what they're in store for; that's part of the fun, IMO! But, as I said, make sure to give them fair warning OOC first, wthout spoilng too much; it's only fair to the player! But also, tyr not to UNDULY penalize one...

    How Can You Politely Say, "Your Character Sucks?"

    I'll chime in to disagree with this. While I won't say "The DM decides everything".... I will say that each player, has the ability to decide, for themselves, what class, background, array of stats, etc., to choose. Sure, IME, there's typically some limited cross-talk to determine general...

    Dark Sun: Any great published adventures?

    Actually, although the setting was phenomenal (one of my favorites ever published), there were surprisingly few decent modules/adventures published, and while I enjoy having "Player Booklets" the format of the old 2E adventures was kinda terrible as well. Personally, I found the "Freedom"...

    DM seeking advice and tips

    This seems like a decent idea; I would keep in mind the higher power levels in 4E. At lower levels, it may be easy to have "Azalin appear in disguise", but that may (actually, PROBABLY) not work when the PC's get to higher level. I would have a backup plan in case the PC's see through that...

    DM seeking advice and tips

    My best advice? (And take this with a grain of salt, of course; it's really just my$.02 as a long-time Ravenloft fan.) 1) Most important, IMHO? Spend some time beforehand immersing yourself in the "Gothic Horror" genre. (Staples like Frankenstein, Dracula, Isle of Dr. Moreau and others such as...

    How Can You Politely Say, "Your Character Sucks?"

    This. And this. Not only that, but IME, People oftentimes tend to get REALLY uptite when confronted with issues about their character, no matter HOW tactfully you phrase things. This can even happen with friends, let alone with people you play online with! Not intending to be rude here to...

    [Trailer] Clash of the Titans

    Agreed. Though the orginal still holds up fairly well overall, IMO, that stupid owl just annyoed me, even as a child. I'll reserve judgement on the new movie until I see it. Though I'm glad Sam Worthington continues to get work (he was a standout in both "Avatar" and "Terminator"), I will say...

    Looking to join a 4E game in NE Massachusetts

    Heya! There's been 3 or 4 people posting lately, looking for games in the MA area. I was thinking we could pull some of the different people togehter, see if we can get a viable D+D group together. (I'm interested in trying 4E, but am willing to go with 3.5/Pathfinder if people prefer.) Feel...

    Yahoo: Against the Titans 4E PBEM

    I would certainly be interested in hearing more; the idea certainly piques my interest. :) What classes/deities are currently spoken for? (My first thoughts would be an Avenger of Hera, or possibly a Bard of Aphrodite.) I also sent an Email to you. :)

    4E Class Survivor - Round 10 (make your prediction)

    With the Warden and Invoker gone, I can focus all my undying hatred on the Swordmage. And I call the Rogue to take the whole thing (though I personally REALLY dig the Avenger.)

    D&D 4E 4E Class Survivor - Round 6

    Well, I've been alternating in these polls between the Invoker and the Warden. This time, it's the Warden's turn.

    Boston Gameday Aug 22nd, 2009 (logistics and directions linked from 1st post)

    Sorry for the late rep[ly, but assuming Post #64 is up to the monment, I think I'll join in the "Ewoks Unleashed" in the morning game, and the "Bats Turns Bads" in the afternoon game. (I'm partial to Green Lantern[Kyle] but can play whoever you have written up at the moment.)

    Boston Gameday Aug 22nd, 2009 (logistics and directions linked from 1st post)

    Hey, all! So, sadly, my friend Bruce can't make it. (Something to do with a "family vacation" that week...) I'm still planning to attend though I may be T-ing it in, unless anyone is coming in from tha Waltham area? (I'm willing to chip in for gas.) Regardless, looking forward to seeing...

    Rate Terminator Salvation

    No, but they mostly respected and/or admired him; they certainly didn't demonize him. They didn't necessarily buy into the "Messiah" thing, assuming they're even AWARE of it. Which is another gripe; WHO knows about the "Messiah" deal? It sounded from the crawl that it was pretty wide-spread...

    Rate Terminator Salvation

    I agree with Bullgrit, but I think he still holds this film in higher regard regard than me. I gave this film, a 1-star rating, something I rarely do. Even despite best effort by Sam Worthington, I found this film to be rife with inconsistenices, incoherent, and near-unwatchable, an execrable...

    PS3 RPG Titles???

    For the PS3, there surprisingly ISN'T a ton of RPG's to choose from. I would look into backward-compatibility for your machine. There's a metric ton of great RPG's for both PS1 and PS2. :( For PS3 specifically? Other RPG [or RPG-like] titles I'd recommend? (Not knowing the tastes in...

    Mall of Horror

    As a zombie afficianado, this has been sitting on my shelf since it came out. It's a good, but not great, game. The good? With the right group, this can be a great "beer and pretzels" game. And it plays fairly quickly as well, so you never have to wait too long for the next game. The...

    Boston Gameday Aug 22nd, 2009 (logistics and directions linked from 1st post)

    Thanks for the update, SilverMoon; sounds awesome! (Though I don't envy you statting these guys out .) :) We'll see how many people are in for M&M and how many for Sidewinder. The excellent thing is, there's always a plethora of games to choose from, whichever way it turns out!
