    DM Intervention

    I'm not sure if the two players who complained to him are the same two players described as the "trouble" players. Are people not showing up because of: 1. difficult life schedules from inflexible players 2. difficult life schedules and an inflexible game-time 3. disinterested and generally...

    DM Intervention

    Have the players in the other game specifically asked if you would step in and say something? I agree with Mark CMG that this isn't your nut to crack and stepping in may be meddling where you weren't asked to meddle. I understand the desire to make other people happy, especially if they are...

    What would you do during a Bad Guy Attack

    I like these "what-if" scenarios you are throwing out there with regards to TV situations. It gets the gears turning and provokes interesting discussion. But, why all the mystery about the show and the circumstances? Wouldn't the thread and subsequent posters/readers be aided by simply...

    Loads of new shows starting this week

    This doesn't surprise me. I caught the first 10 minutes of the second episode and it was like watching a train wreck. All I could think was "How did this script make it past... well... anyone on the creative team. I am liking this one too. I'll keep watching. Anyone seen American Horror...

    Instinct--Terra Nova # 3/Season I 2011

    Does FOX run any of their shows with full episodes anywhere? I know Hulu has Family Guy, so I wonder if I can catch the 4th episode online there. I hate that DVRs can't yet deal with preempted shows elegantly.

    (WHUMP!) My Tome of Horrors just arrived

    I understand what you meant, and I know that you play both editions. It wasn't so much directed at you as it was future posters. Unfortunately, there are other people that can take a statement like that and run with it and before we know it, we've got three pages of nonsense. I was going to...

    (WHUMP!) My Tome of Horrors just arrived

    This has been a good thread, praising the merits of the new book as well as the longevity of the original set of books. Let's not turn this into a veiled edition war thread... There's no reason to even make a statement like this.

    Wrecking Classic Adventures

    First, I'll give you my example and then tell you why I hate the to-e-described set-up. OK -- this entirely from memory and the details may be wrong... I was taking my PCs into the Malhavoc adventure* Banewarrens (pre-Ptolus, no errata) and the arch mage of the major wizards guild (that lived...

    (WHUMP!) My Tome of Horrors just arrived

    And there it is! Bill did sign it with what looks like a medium thick brown sharpie. :) Now... my second Tome hasn't arrived yet. I hope it didn't get lost in the shuffle.

    (WHUMP!) My Tome of Horrors just arrived

    I actually preordered 2 of them, one to use, the other for safe-keeping. I got one of them, but I didn't notice the signature. I'll look for it. :) It is well made, though like others I thought it would be heavier at 800+ pages. Leafing through it, there's a TON of great monsters and...

    I don't want 5E, I want a definitive D&D (the Monopoly model)

    And each of these have had their own rule changes that have created controversy among their own fans. Sports-nerd blogs and forums on ESPN and NFL.com are full of loud troublemakers. (I watch, I'm a big-time Steeler fan, but I'm a lurker on the boards.)

    Fantasy Book suggestions

    I really liked CS Friedman's Coldfire trilogy starting with Black Sun Rising: Amazon.com: Black Sun Rising: The Coldfire Trilogy #1 (9780756403140): C.S. Friedman: Books This series was incredibly well written. Deep, complex characters, a "grand quest" and well written dialog really bring...

    WoTC to hire new Director of Brand Marketing for D&D

    Ha! Sorry, Kzach my boy! :p I'm not a forum wagerer(or?) so I don't want to stop coming here, nor would I want you to be kept away. But I forgot the about the 40th anniversary, so 2014 would be a better bet and yes, I agree, a longer development cycle may be better. So, if it happens with...

    WoTC to hire new Director of Brand Marketing for D&D

    With Monte coming on as a developer/imagineer (whether as a consultant or full-time employee) and now a new brand manager position announcement, I think this portents a new edition big time. When? I say the D&D XP show or Gencon 2013. There's still a lot to be done and I hope they adopt an...

    Pathfinder and 4e's love child, what I want in 5e

    Sorry guys, didn't mean to come across as an a**hat. Upon further reading, though, I am guilty as charged. All I was trying to say is that we are at a point in technology in gaming that the convergence of paper and digital will only sway more towards the digital side of things. I recognize...

    Pathfinder and 4e's love child, what I want in 5e

    I've always appreciated Lanefan and gamerprinter contributions here on EnWorld. I agree oftentimes on general DM and player principles and gameplay issues. But if you think the new edition won't integrate and/or add a dependency upon some e-gaming model, you are sadly lost in 1989. I have...
