    I Love Gaming but I Hate Gamers!

    Certainly your own experiences are valid, but I hope you can take mine with some measure of belief when I sae I did not have to wear a t-shirt or 'what' to say who I am. :D I did not say all people from any walk of life were giving me a hard time. Just some, much like a room full of people...

    I Love Gaming but I Hate Gamers!

    Being politically correct? Just curious and I ask this earnestly in context, because the distinction between the characteristics of jocks and geeks don't quite exist (in the same form perhaps) where I'm growing up (Asia) - But is creating that definitive gap of saying some of the 'former jocks'...

    What game mechanics etc. do you, the DM, forbid?

    Too many to list. But I'll address Sir Devria's topic on 'Wish'. Numbger of words allowed is equal to level. No commas, colon, semicolons, "and, however, but, only, including, if, along with". They can write it or whatever and confer with the plyer group but the one who casted / or got...

    Why did you start DMing?

    I joined my first group and tried all sorts of different games and systems. I eventually met up with this group (at that time all strangers with 1 or 2 acquaintances each from each ateendant). Had a couple of games and the guy who hosted at his place was the DM. Wasn't that great but at least...

    What's your DM Gimmick?

    I think all I have is this lonely old lady. Who's kinda nomadic. lives in the most rundown of conditi0ons, very friendly, small and says she's a soothsayer of sorts. She can also get you anything you might wish. Unwary travellers and first time encounters from all my games have always met her...

    Monsters using treasure

    It can get a little tedious to prepare an entire treasureset for each monster/encounter :p for me. So generally most wealth is rolled after the battle. It also gives a nice sense of random treasure than preset prepared loot which my players like. However, the monsters sometimes may possess...

    Gaming in an open enviroment

    I concur - barsoomore. My players only really feel successful after one or more failed attempts at something. The plotting and vengeance fueled enthusiasim is amazing when applied by frustrated players. The only few times, Ive seen some of the best plays are when they failed ... utterly the...

    What issues should a new group settle up front?

    I have 'insurance' for new characters that join an existing gaming group. ---

    Why do you play RPGs??

    It gives me a reason to see some of my oldest friends every week. I've gamed with them for the longest time with acquaintances in between and strangers that coem and go, but the core 3 of us are always there. Breaks occur sure, but ultimately, when there' s a game; there'll be the 3 of us...

    What issues should a new group settle up front?

    ((hugs)) . THats exactly how I feel! There's this little part of me that sparks alive everytime I hear about players talk excitedly about what happened in game :D and mostly it not because of what I did, but what they atttempted.

    What issues should a new group settle up front?

    I believe some players have a strong preconcived idea that the 'GM rules ALL', so any suggestions that make and was shot down was because of the 'want's of the GM to his/her own particular mood/story arc and awhat-nots. Those players fails to see the amount of time some GMs put into carefully...

    D&D without the Cleric

    I'm certainly interested in seeing you efforts as well. I'm in the midst of unifying magic into a whole miasma rather than divisible by arcane and divine sources. Merging them is more in line with the altered cosmology I've introduced and the deific systems. I look forward to reviewing your...

    Gaming in an open enviroment

    (bows to Danny Alcatraz) Yes yours. Although my players aren't of a Machiavaelien bent, Oftentimes, its mostly Malkavian (WW). But I attempt to be Machiavaelien when I reintrduced their "theories" into the discussion. Most time, they fear their own presumtions more so than anything I can...

    Gay PCs or NPCs

    Oddly enough, none of my gay players play gay characters. Much like other posters, the issue of sexual orientation doesnt come 'out':p . And when romance of both hetero-homosexual in nature occurs, it doesn't faze anyone. Hmm. I had 2 groups playing over one weekend (Sat and Sun). One...

    Gaming in an open enviroment

    I read one of Danny Alcatraz' earlier posts about listening to the PC's discuss what they believed to be plot hooks, or ideas or what's 'really' happening. I like to create options out of those discussions. If one of the options is close enough to what they've discussed, ti makes them feel...
