    When Do You (GM) Kill PCs?

    We played a game last night and most of the players came really close to dying (they fought some pretty tough baddies). Now, normally I go with what the dice say and if a player dies, than he dies (this happened a couple games ago when the party mage died - I still feel a little bad). Last...

    Aragorn has (gasp!) a . . . tail!

    I haven't seen the movie nor do I know alot about David Cronenberg's films, but given this information, I have a theory. I suspect that the tail is somehow symbolic. I found this quote from Roger Ebert's website: "to the innate violence of Darwinian evolution, in which better-adapted...

    Whedon: More Buffy in the future

    I found this over at E! Online: "And Good News for Angel Fans! Amy said Joss Whedon has spoken with her about resurrecting her role as Illyria. 'He has mentioned it a couple of times,' she told me. 'I mean, the last time, I talked to him a couple weeks ago and said that I had heard that Tim...

    Whedon: More Buffy in the future

    Yeah, but wasn't he the one that had everyone playing D&D towards the end of the last season? I kinda liked him. A little trivia from imdb: "The seventh season episode, "Storyteller", which focused on the character Andrew, was an experiment to see how the audience would respond to a show...

    Party Roles

    I have been running a continuous D&D campaign for almost a year now. While I have had a few players come and go, I have noticed something that has remained somewhat consistent with our group. The party, rather unconsciously, assigns roles for each character. So far, there seems to be about 7...

    Anybody see The Skeleton Key?

    Yeah, I think I can do that without giving away too much. Here's a plot summary from imdb.com: "Caroline (Kate Hudson) is a twenty-five-year-old hospice worker who cares for the ailing and the elderly, a job designed to atone for her own mistake for ignoring her dying father in the past, when...

    A great book that details culinary dishes and dietary habits by regions and time periods is Food in History. I've used this book in my games - lots of details and lore about food.

    Thanks arwink! Here's my tale: I just started a new job and I don't get any vacation time until September. That, and the fact that I live in rural Washington (in terms of travel expenses) pose significant barriers. However, I think my son and I are going to go next summer. I am already...

    Anybody see The Skeleton Key?

    I saw this the other day and I liked it. Possible spoiler: It dragged in the middle a bit, but the ending threw me. Looking back on it now, it totally made sense - little clues throughout the movie. Very nicely done. Any comments? Oh, and Kate Hudson is hot :o
