Like I sid, it may just be my experience, sometimes certain people just clash. I just get the feeling when I am in there now (as apposed to the first 4 years) that they are more interested in people who play mageknight, yugioh and the like than people who buy the rpg stuff. I am very...

I've been going in off and on for over 6 years. When I was with my former girlfriend, her, her husband and I would go in a lot with their macaw and they new Arthurbird and Skye and Eric and they would talk alot with them. Whenever I have gone in there by myself, however, they almost ignore me...

I totally agree. This is how many of the eastern religions/philosophies do stuff and it works. Don't tell me I'm wrong and that I should do this or that. Tell me, instead, why you love your way so much and if you are honest and make a good point then I will check it out too. I have never shopped...

I agree that expense != quality which goes to further my point. If I am going to pay so much more at a flgs then they better make it worth my while. I pay more for a cut and they make sure I am happy, I pay more for a book and I don't even get my name remembered and I had *6* subscriptions...

Really hate to throw a stone when I love the comment, but technically, the statistics only show that it is likely you "haven't died" not that you "won't" die. Most of those people polled said they "hadn't died" which places it in the past which means the only conclusion that can be reached is...

LOL No, it is a convenience, the line can be quite long, however, since it is one of the more well known salons in Austin. Something you may like better is they asked if I wanted wine one day (I was getting my hair chopped off after having it long for 7 years). I asked if they normally had wine...

I agree with you, if a flgs is nice to me, knows my name and even takes the time to actually *try* to learn something about my tastes then I will happily pay *more* than normal for my stuff there. A good example is a hair salon. I can get my hair cut for 8$ in an annonomous (sp) place and it...

In fact, a good example is the movie "comic book villains." I would call both of those flgs, just with different words and both are so common now that ccgs are so profitable.

I don't know about this one, so many "f"LGS that I have had to deal with over the years have been kind of snobbish if they didn't know you "personally" or you weren't there to buy the newest ccg. The one in college would give their valued customers (read friends) a 10-20% discount and then mark...

See, the sad thing is, I saw the thread a while back and was curious but I resisted the temptation to sate that curiosity and take a look until today. I think the term is I snoozed. Will keep an eye out for the Iron DM too, thanks.

Sounds great, I miss having writing projects, one of the things about college I liked. It keeps me from being lazy and not doing anything, lol. I will keep my eyes open for the next one.

Hey all I would love to get in on the next ceramic DM matchup, sounds like a good way to prove my worth to the boards;) Bout how often do you have these happen? my three cents, I thought harder this time.

Don't know if I will be blasted for this or not, but.... If you want a good example of fiction where multiple sentient species are stuck in one small area and how they actually do get along (relatively speaking) read one of the Laurell Hamilton books (either anita blake or merry gentry). Most...

I agree, we all have our pet races. I love rakasta and I don't care what world it is, if I can talk the dm into letting me have it then I will. If I am running the world (which is most of the time) my long time players know to expect one at some point as an npc. I think the desire for more races...

make me third, same thing happened to me. I stopped by the gamestore to preview it before i ordered it on amazon and ended up walking out. I am still not sure how I got from the shelf to the door, but I knowmy credit card was 40$ lower..

Wow, you have completely changed my beginning thoughts of you, thank you. That was very studious and focused and I enjoyed it. I agree that some logic problems can lead to too much overcomplication and 'thought for nothing but thought' type situations. The example of the pumpkin is one that I...

So, I lied, this is the last, promise, lol. Don't want to cloud the board yet again with a post, just wanted to let you know, bas, that I do not think morals are unsophisticated or primitive. I actually think morals can be very sophisticated, just see a difference in the origin, is that the...

Just for the record, I do agree that if you are playing alignment as it is written in the books then it is very clearly defined and backed up. I really didn't see the question in this thread as whether you agreed with the fact of the alignment system in the book, but whether you played it that...

I agree completely with you, lol. You did exactly what was needed, you picked out problems you saw with it, answered it, spent time thinking about it and came up with a good answer with good foundations. What you just did is what I give it to my players for. Thank you. However, it is possible...

Actually you miss the entire point of logical paradoxes and the like, such as the very one you cite about the mountain and god. The point is not that they make sense or not, the point is to get your mind working and thinking through different avenues. If you do not like that and think it is...
