    2013 Call for Booth Volunteers!

    I am planning to finish the "booth binder", which will contain the volunteer schedule, this weekend. With that in mind, I'm making one last call-out to see if we can get the slots below filled (each slot has one volunteer, but we prefer to have two volunteers per slot). Thursday - Aug 15...

    Do your campaigns have a theme?

    Yes, but it always changes.

    2013 Call for Booth Volunteers!

    I've signed up RangerWickett for Friday from noon to 2. Thank you very much for volunteering, Ryan. Hooper, I'm not going to sign you up. If we can get someone to take the slot, it will give you a break between shifts. If not, you're more than welcome to stick around and keep Tracey company...

    How much does the RPG system actually matter....for player enjoyment?

    Simple answer: In my experience, system matters a lot. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    2013 Call for Booth Volunteers!

    The great news, as we get closer and closer to GenCon, is that we have at least one person signed up to volunteer in the ENnies booth for every time slot. I would, however, really like to see two people in the booth for every time slot and we still have seven openings. If you had been...

    2013 Call for Booth Volunteers!

    There are still 11 slots to fill (12 are listed on the spreadsheet linked to above, but we do have one volunteer - Hand of Evil - who I am waiting to schedule). If we could get a few more from EN World, it would go a long way to ensuring a fully staffed booth. Click the link above to see the...

    Can the GM cheat?

    You do have an interesting way about you. We are not allowed to question whether or not you've been to the bottom of the Marianas Trench, but it's okay for you to show absolutely no respect for Majoru's opinion or experiences. Railroading, especially as Majoru portrayed it in his game, can't be...

    Can the GM cheat?

    Another thought for Majoru... When creating encounters (puzzles, traps, challenges, combats, interactions, etc.) try to keep the "core" as generic and modular as possible, then wrap it in aspects of the session. If your players avoid it, that "core" can be used another time. Railroads that I...

    Can the GM cheat?

    I don't dispute your experiences. I can be a pendantic jerk, though, and claims involving absolutes are a trigger. Claims that I can disprove by looking at evidence to contrary sitting across the room from me make me absolutely giddy. I read Majoru Oakheart's post and thought that I would not...

    Can the GM cheat?

    "More likely?" That wasn't an absolute. I think progress has been made. As someone who hears stuff more in line with your second statement, though worded slightly less at a slant, even I'll admit the first is more likely. Yay! Agreement. This is so much better than where we started, when we...

    Can the GM cheat?

    I believe that "taking away player choice at some level" is generally accepted. The level at which that choice is restricted becomes the topic of debate. By adding "or I'm taking my books and going home", you've narrowed the definition into an area that not everyone would agree to. In addition...

    Can the GM cheat?

    Okay, I personally don't require your validation, but it is fun to participate in various discussions. I do find it odd that you would imply that players who prefer railroading don't exist because you've never seen them. Now, I don't know if you've personally and directly witnessed any of those...

    Can the GM cheat?

    Personally. Directly. Witnessed.
