I like some no good very bad fun sometimes. There are periods when I'm in the mood to kick down the door, socialize with my friends, and spout off witty one liners. I see that it's not OP's gig, but that doesn't mean the style merits such acrid disparagement. The important issue is what the...

I usually make my players fill out a biographical form with information on their appearance, personality (including likes/dislikes and fears), history (I especially like it if they give some family background and friends/rivals/foes), and what their PCs' goals are and what THEIR goals as the...

In that case, I'd like to standby for WINNING! and sign up for Space 1889. :) Thanks!

I'd like to sign up for something (except Avengers, since I have like, no comic book knowledge in that area), but I'm not familiar with ... really any of these rulesets, and the only one that explicitly states that you don't need to be familiar with the rules is already full. ;_; What do?

I'm booting up a campaign where typically monstrous races are actually valued members of an otherwise human-dominated society, so goblinoids, orcs, ogres, trolls, kobolds, etc. are actually valid playchoices (depending on the player's current ECL). We're starting at ECL 1 at the moment, so there...

70. Do a vision quest to reach your distant, silent diety with his/her/its followers' pleas. 71. Perform a ritual sacrifice to please the deity/ward off its wrath.

I don't think this is the topic for a debate on parenting philosophies or deciding who is/isn't a good parent per se. I like the original topic and where it was headed before we dove into "Honor thy father" versus "Do as thou wilt" or however you want to describe these divergent notions. I hope...

Thanks, CaBaNa. Jonesy, I think I've seen it happen even if the values weren't better. Also, I think the bonuses/penalties changed on occasion. I'll just keep an eye out in the future and see if I can pin it down during a match and post it here.

I don't find the kid's report to be fishy at all. Speaking for myself and from memories of other young friends' experiences, sometimes your parent goes a little odd for a while, usually the result of temporary religious fervor arising from something else, and then your previously tolerated...

I'm not sad. :) I knew you'd probably have better cards, and knowing that you did, I also agreed to a rematch--playing against people (even overpowered) is more fun than the computer. Anyway, I didn't have any interesting cards to lose! Hahaha. Likewise, can someone explain "Combo" to me...

Yay! More updates! <3 Thank you, Sagiro.

Awesome! Coincidentally, while avoiding more cramming for my finals, I'm cruising the story hours. ;)

I'm gonna deposit this bump here for safekeeping. Can't wait to see what happens next! :3

I agree that reflection (by which I don't mean navel-gazing) is an important part of improvement. I would be surprised if anyone here who has GMed thinks they're extracting the maximum possible fun juice from gaming, period, or there wouldn't be so much energy devoted to playing with new...

I think it's also important to give a new DM or an unfamiliar DM a fair shake--if you don't like a couple of decisions, stick around a little unless the type of game (and the people in it) aren't to your liking. Give constructive feedback. Say what you like and don't like and give it some time...

CaBaNa crushed me. Q__Q

I like pre-empting those questions, but it's not always possible to foresee such weird and arguably random issues. I think a reasonable player with a decent relationship with the DM should be able to trust that said DM isn't trying to screw them with a given call, and on the DM's side, that call...

I've lost the thread. I'm also sad that Celebrim hasn't replied to my parry. I don't think anyone's necessarily contesting women's skills... I would always advise when entering into another group's traditional arena for the outsider to utilize lateral tactics to push the opponent outside of the...

1. Guide a repentant criminal (or villain) in a quest for atonement. 2. Purify the religious hierarchy of secret heresy. 3. Heal a dogmatic rift in the Temple. 4. Reconsecrate a fallen temple taken over long ago by evil forces (and possibly subsequently abandoned). 5. Minister to and protect a...

Not to knock Jameson's opinion, but on some level, I do find elements of male posturing to be threatening. It can make the females among you uncomfortable. It is a reminder of male on female violence, which is sadly prevalent in the real world and still remains a particular fixture of fantasy in...
