Whatever your feelings are about the yoga workout, P90x is a great program. The combination of strength, cardio, and stretch make it very well rounded and maintainable...after having just finished Insanity...not maintainable, too hard on the body. I encourage anyone interested in getting fit...

Evilusion, I can tell you I didn't start to appreciate yoga until my second time through. It's hard, I admit that, but something P90x does that no other workout program does is work on all three parts of Fitness. Strength and Cardio being what most people concentrate on. But flexibility...

Congrats and welcome to the P90x Graduate club. I've done 2 rounds and just finished my first round of Insanity...I'll be going back to P90x. Don't even consider beating yourself up about the diet. Weightloss is 90% diet. If you finished, which not everyone does, you are in far better shape...

We ignore the daily magic item limit and don't count XP either. The magic item limit we threw out day one. After our first session I looked at everyone and told them we weren't counting XP either. No one complained. I'm sure there are a host of other errors that become rules.

Sorry, I should have given some more info. Lunch is 30-60 minutes. We're all salary, so that helps with some flexibility. To my knowledge, no one has played Savage Worlds. I have no idea how many people would be interested, but I would probably keep it to 5 max players. I'm hoping someone...

I've got 2. One gaming related, it just tells the story of our campaign so far. It has been very useful in that regard. Josh's Blog This one I started after finishing P90x and starting Insanity. I've got Insanity workouts left and then will be returning to P90x, so follow along, maybe you'll...

Alright, for quite a while I've been hearing a lot of people talk about how great Savage Worlds is. I'm curious about it because I'm tired of 4E. Everything takes too long. Combat, turns, everything. So I'm asking for some info on Savage Worlds. Just how Fast and Furious is it? Could it...

I've found the easiest way to push my players is 2 things. Use more brutes. They make for quicker encounters, less grind, but can really dish it out. Second, don't let them take that extended rest. Give them 5 or 6 or 7 tasks to accomplish in one night. They won't have the option to rest...

I've got 2. Come and get it just annoys the crap out of me. The fact a character can influence creatures so far away. The other is wall of fire. I would be fine if it was just a straight line, but it doesn't read that way. Who heard of a wall that could double back on itself? My guys use...

It was staring us in the face all along. Villain kills and replaces the sage. The party happily turns the artifact over and the villain returns to his normal form and teleports away. There is no reason he couldn't just randomly take a few players with him. Or he could ask to see those...

I've done this twice to my players and both times, they never saw it coming. When we started playing, I told them I was going to run a character as well. Little did they know, he'd betray them night 2 and steal the artifact they were sent to recover. It was a railroad. Once they got to the...

If the players know, it goes in the blog: Blog link It has come in very handy for both me and them to be able to refer back. If they don't, it stays in my head. I will occasionally outline something in Word, but not very often.

This is great. My players and I were talking about an AD&D delve one night instead of our regular session. If that goes well, I'll try to drag a few up.

Thanks guys, it looks like I have to eat some crow on this one.

Then why not just say athletics check? I know there are a few minor differences, but...

Last night I threw a bunch of Blaspheme's against the party. The Blaspheme Entomber has the following attack: +17 vs AC; 2d6+5 necrotic damage, and the target is knocked prone until it succeeds on a DC 20 Strength check to stand up. The part about a Strength Check caused a bit of a stir at...

Someone commented on how they'd go into maintenance mode after the first round. That's up to you, but I saw some substantial improvements the second time around. It certainly helped that my brother and I did it at the same time. We didn't work out together, but shared our daily results and...

I've finished 2 rounds of P90x, it is an awesome workout. I am relatively happy with the results, but since I failed to follow the diet, I didn't drop a lot of weight. I did move a lot of it around. I hurt my shoulder at the start of round 3, so I switched over to Insanity. Not nearly as...

We have a player who does a fair bit of travel for work. Early on when we started, we got him going with skype, including video. We sit the laptop in his place at the table and he plays from wherever he is. Obviously we trust he won't cheat on his die rolls, etc. He once played from an...

We started with a gridded whiteboard and I've since moved to drawing everything in Dundjinni. Print it out, cut the margins and tape. It really allows me to show the players what I'm trying to describe. On top of that, it is real easy to drop in props. A cage here, skeleton there, really...
