I think I tend to create Everyman characters when I'm playing.

An all stealth party sounds like a blast to play in. Normally I'd just say the default four though -- lemme play the cleric, you guys play the fighter, thief, and mage. :)

I've always loved Shadowrun, although mainly because of the sega genesis game... such cool stuff, really got me into the world, and I was young enough to think the talk was cool. Heck, I'm open enough now to still somewhat enjoy the odd linguistic stuff, though after reading Gibson and such it...

It would possibly bug me. I mainly just get bugged when minorities are depicted as "never the bad guys" -- as in, if an NPC is gay, they've really got a heart of gold, even if they're an enemy you can empathize with them somehow. (Just as bad would be if every enemy was gay and pure evil, but...

Is she a problem player too? You could always try inviting her to a one-shot game. Being a fan of a uber-NPC's doesn't necessarily make you a problem gamer, just a problem DM. (Although, she's more likely to be a problem player than any random player... but, you never know!)

EN World is by far one of the friendliest forums I've seen, although in the past year or two it's been less friendly than it used to be Have you played World of Warcraft? Here's a link to their general forum: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.aspx?fn=wow-general There, that's a garbage...

If you want to say that low-magic D&D simply means magic is less prevalent in the world, you could probably get away with that. If you want to say that characters should not follow the wealth guidelines per level, go get your gaming group and run a one-shot at level nine with characters that...

hehe, sorry. :D

2 or 3 players for me. 4 I can handle, 5 I struggle, 6 or more I don't have the force of personality to direct the gameplay.

Any game I've played in would give the entire party experience for destroying a powerful evil item. If we choose to keep it, we could keep it, but I don't believe that ever came up. Although, most parties were primarily good, though paladin-free. Most games I've run anymore have either had...

I liked it quite a bit. I like this subplot. So there! :)

I'm fine with lowering the CR. I'd like to be able to run a 20th level game that ended with slaying a demon lord. But, I'd of liked the option to run a 25th level game that ended with slaying a demon lord... I'd of far rather they simply presented power-level options rather than calling this...

Unearthed Arcana II. That was by far the most useful book for me since the core three. Some more well thought alternate rules systems, but only minor changes, is mostly what I'm looking for.

I make it a point to roll initiative within the first two minutes of any new campaign I'm running. If you don't roll initiative in the first two minutes, it's not my game. :)

Absolutely. They're called hobbits as well. They're hobbits, although reacting to a different setting.

...wow, I'm the newest. Summer of 1999, right after I got out of high school. Never had an opportunity until then because my parents thought it was of the devil... once I was 18 they let me make my own mind up about it though. Which was nice. I did convince them otherwise, and my younger...

A little bit less than Feng Shui (10) and Shadowrun (9) puts it at an 8. Definitely my preference.

True20 I'd wager -- you already understand D20, and you know how to make the on-the-fly rulings that come with a rules-light system a lot better as True20 is based on D20. I'd echo definitely not Exalted. I've read through the book a couple times, and though I haven't played, I'm still fuzzy...

Personally, I'd tell him the probability of rolling 16 natural 20's in a row is... errr... .00000000000000000015% and I'd ask to see his sheet to see how he got the numbers. I'd be nice and laugh about it, the first few times, but after that, ug... Harmon's approach is good though. He's...

Good flavor isn't really quantifiable. If it was quantifiable, it would cease to be good flavor. But in a sense, good flavor is essentially something the DM or players read and say "That's really cool" and feel a vague sense of awe and wonder. That's my take on it. You can have boring...
