    Dragon/Dungeon Survey Online

    I like that I was specifically queried on my thoughts on Downer. Heh.

    Alignment

    You know, when you don't put the title in the poll, and I see the poll in the EN Front page, It really doesn't help. So I usually just select a random answer to skew results. FYI.

    What game mechanics etc. do you, the DM, forbid?

    I don't allow in my campaign: Spells Magic Items Races other than Human Classes other than expert . . . oh, wait. That's just real life! Heh. My point, bar no rules, just make sure the bad guys get to utilize them, too!

    I've got the D&D Spell Compendium- Any questions?

    Well, it's worth $26 and change to me, thus, I'll be purchasing this online. Such is life. . .

    Incarnum interest level?

    It's a pretty weak book in my opinion. I will not be using it, or encouraging its use. In many ways, the whole concept of the book seems quite a reach to me. Is the creative well running dry? I hope the forthcoming spellbook is good.

    So I've never been to GenCon, but Smelly Gamers???

    Interestingly, the Law is on our side. Both the US and Canada have precidence that supports those who do not stink vs. those who do stink, in the workforce. Various companies have been able to fire customer service employees (in actual face to face service) who reek. Personally, I have always...

    GC 2006 - Ptolus Hardback $120!?!

    So much bitchy whining from all the poor kids. If you can't afford it, I sympathize with you, but don't bitch about it. Move on. I make a pretty good living, and feel that $120 for a 650+ page book is just fine, thank you. Besides, all this banter is moot. Sales figures will tell the true...

    I can't wait to see this "Movie." I expect it to be as fnatasically CRAPTASTIC as the first!

    The perfect gamer wife

    Hey, my wife tolerates my gaming. . .Actually she's pretty damn supportive of the group, especially since we host it in our condo here in NYC. She's got a 2-year old to contend with for the week, and is 4 months pregnant. Now that's a trooper! As thanks, I'm sending her up to the Muskokas...

    What are you taking to Gen Con?

    Specially made business cards featuring, yours truly, as CGM - Chief Game Master - no joke, these things are free, and they are great for handing out to new folks I meet. My Wall St. cards really aren't appropriate for this venue. A small inflatable cushion - let me tell you how uncomfortable...

    I have finally arrived (as DM)

    Yeah. . . gotta love it. In our Arcana Evolved campaign, I'm running the poor chumps through a tweaked version of the 1st ed. Tomb of Horrors. Let's see, several of them have already had their gender switched, and now all of them made the mistake of going through the portal where all your...

    Tournament Tactics!

    Feh! Roleplaying!?!?!?! Are you nuts? This is tourney play, mister, the REAL KIND. Pure hack and slash in the true Knights of the Dinner Table style! So far, with the exception of the excellent Conan quote, which happens to be a fave of mine, I have not seen any real gems of wisdom yet.

    Tournament Tactics!

    Ok folks, it Con season, and I though I'd put a hook out there to you all asking for some friendly tips, and tactics you might have used in the past for tournament games. I have several tournies coming up, and I'd like to be "fully armed" with some good tournament tactics.

    MAT bidding for Hasbro??

    There is market talk this morning that Mattel (MAT) could make a bid for Hasbro (HAS.) Word is that any deal would likely be accretive. HAS is presently up $0.20. Interesting. (This is my job/life, btw.) I hope the WotC assets are considered "Core." to any particular acquiring company!

    Just Curious ... Hom many come from AD&D?

    Got my start with 1e in 1980. Woosh. . .way back. Shortly thereafter, picked up Champions: The Superhero RPG! and Top Secret. Ahhh, the glory days!
