A moment to give libation to a few gone but not forgotten players... Skot -- That boy could play! Then he got married, lost his spine, and became painfully domesticated. Maylan -- Enjoying life in the U.S. Army, recently came back to visit and played in the first game of a new Eberron...

Reading this was quite eye-opening...as I read it, I realized just how much of it applied to a former member in my group. Good link!

It often seems such behavior is always accompanied by statements like "I'm just playing my character," or "That's how my character is..." I know of one player (not in my group, happily) who consistently uses Flame Strike and other "blow em up" spells against the monsters...the main problem that...

One campaign of mine melted down and came about >< that close to physical violence. It also happened to be the time when a potential new player was playing, checking out the game (needless to say, he declined to return after the "incident"). Two players, unfortunately who never got along very...

A jaded player (or jaded gamer) is someone who goes to GenCon and sees nothing interesting or intriguing. A jaded player acts as if he has seen it all, and has lost that kid in the candy store feeling when new games show up at the FLGS.

The Deathstalker books by Simon R. Green are great space opera and then some. These books take great joy in going over the top and staying there, raising the bar with each new book in the series. Some great villains and nasty races in the story...the Grendel aliens, the AIs of Shub and their...

Rich Burlew addresses this issue over on his "Giants in the Playground" web site. He has some alternate rules for using the Diplomacy skill...some good ideas there. http://www.giantitp.com/Func0010.html

Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps (probably won't make it into stores here in Iowa before then) Axis & Allies miniatures Aces & Eights And anything else between now and then that sounds intriguing.

I got a chance to read "Waterdeep" this weekend, and really liked what I saw. The information on guilds and organizations is extremely well detailed, and I especially liked the quick breakdown tables for buying/reselling items of interest to adventurers, as well as the table about who to see...

It looks like a number of upcoming WotC releases will be 160 pages in length, rather than the 192 pages on average in previous products. For example, the next two Eberron books (Five Nations and Explorer's Guide) will both be 160 pages. It seems like this trend is here to stay...

In the past, my gaming group consisted of approximately six players and the DM. Typically, we had the usual group turnover when a player would leave and a new player would join. Within the past few weeks, we have added two new players to the fold, for a total of 8 players and the DM. Our last...

Our group plays at my house, in the" library" area (where most of my bookshelves are). We use three sturdy folding tables, with one table perpendicular to the other two, thus forming a rectangular table surface. For chairs, I purchased a set of heavy duty, but comfortable, chairs from a used...

According to the GenCon Indy web site info: Event ticket pre-registration is May 16th (Noon PST) to July 11, 2005 (Noon PST). Shipping will begin in the following two weeks after July 11.

Martin has to finish first...The Wheel of Time is destined to go on ad infinitum. I stopped reading after two books in a row essentially covered the same one day of time. Of course, I imagine it must be difficult for Martin to write Feast of Crows, given what he did in the book before it...

I've used fumbles, and been in games where a fumble system exists, from time to time. Years and years ago, our group found the fumble charts in Rolemaster extremely humorous. In actual game play, they can be pretty lethal. Overall, I don't particularly care for fumble systems, especially with...

Congratulations, and many many thanks to you for these past three decades of fun!

Ooooh, I like that. Neat idea indeed, in the category of "wish I had thought of that..."

Here is my synopsis, followed by the attachment for the 10-page writing sample (for those who enjoy being tortured)... “The Dragonmark Curse” begins two years after the Last War and follows the adventures of GREGOR (male human fighter), an Inquisitive who lives and works in the city of Sharn...

If I recall, he and Rob Kuntz worked on the "Maure Castle" adventure that appeared back in DUNGEON #112 -- the adventure pretty much ran the length of the entire issue.

Received my rejection letter yesterday. I was pleased that they sent out the letters to those who participated...
