Is Wyrmshadow gone too? Becasue man that looked like a 2-way street. Anyway, on topic, World Building is pretty much my game as a GM. I really enjoy mapping out how trae routes form based on Politics, Geography and relative levels of civilizations. I've found over the years that I get a lot of...

Yeah, I wasn't implying that that's what you were doing, just that your "rules" in the OP didn't seem to apply to all gaming situations I've been in where the presence of kids was a pain in the ass.

Cool. You are the first "super-competent" we've had in the position :)

That was my exact situation with my first wife. Sunday was my gaming night for years before we were together. She made some big to-do about it early on in our relationship ("Sunday is Family Day") so I consulted with the group and we changed it to Wednesday evening. After that, I usually got...

I'm not wild about having kids around at a game night. I've only seen it in action once or twice (My "Game Night" tends to be a rough analog of other guys "poker Night"...that is, a night out with the guys) We used to play a LARP of Vampire the Masquerade man years ago though that the organizer...

Naw, mostly sticking to the ENnies Forums and, yes, CM :) Are you working the sound at the ceremony again this year?

Give me Friday at 4-6 pm Anyone who works it with me should know that I always provide Rum and Cokes and witty commentary on the scantily clad cosplay ladies who may walk by :) That might be a plus or a minus...book accordingly :)

More than I can count. I always assume it's the owner-operator, as I can't imagine the business mind that would let his employees goof off like that. Every job I've ever had, if you weren't busy, they'd find something for you to do (and in retail, that's usually cleaning/organizing)

I feel for your plight Scott, butt he above comment is incredibly flawed. The FLGS--even the insanely good ones I have here in Vancouver--are not the "cradle of the gaming population". They just aren't, and I'm not sure they ever have been. I learned to play from a couple of friends who...

Ha! Fool, my allies amongst the Ape Sultans have already prepared for your Robodroid attack. My henchman Thrazar even now leads them to the attack.

You don't like Encounter Critical and you know it :)

Yes actually. Immense.

Pramas makes solid points. Seriously. Mechanically it is allright, but it isn't "entry level". But if they were hoping to retain the current crop of gamers, they couldn't have dumbed it down much more than they did.

Heh, yeah I recall a few years back keeping a running tally of who gave more correct answer, Skip "The Sage" Williams or the Rules Forum's own Caliban. Caliban by a mile. I mean it wasn't even close.

Plutocracy. Which in the case of D&D would (I think) mean rule by either Merchants Guilds or rich, retired adventures. Money talks and :):):):):):):):) walks basically :)

Man, the guy registers, and three posts in he has WON AT THE INTERNET:) Congrats PI...and welcome :)

No, not really. And I don't mean that in any hostile way or anything. It looks like a lot of fun, but this edition--and this is the first time I can recall this happening with an edition change--bears virtually no resemblance to it's predecessor. I think 3.5E was the last "D&D" We're going to...

I got paid for my services as a DM once Community Centres will often pay you to DM (in Canada) but the players are ususally awful children. Honestly, when the community Centre approached me (via my friend Paul, who was their activities director), the 15 dollars an hour was not a prime...

Man, I could not agree less. The DM puts 90% or the prep and effort into the game. I think that gets him the right to make a few choices. Players need to (1) have a character, (2)show up and (3) keep track of the story. All players (by default) manage the first one Most players can manage...

No, he's some kind of Sleep Therapist or something. Though, from what I hear, he should be BBQ'ing as a profession :)
