Well, when I refered to "Around here" I meant in the general Boise area, as opposed to Emmett. I pretty much agree with your assessment of Emmett. That's why I don't flaunt my hobby around there. And you're right...there are more than 40 people. The neighbor just had a baby. :D

Darn it Djeta. You actually got me to laugh out loud here at work. Which I'm sure worried my co-workers...seeing me look at a computer monitor and actually break up uncontrolably. Stop it! :D

Around here, the "D&D Mistique" is more associated with fat sweaty nerdy looking guys who can't get dates than uber-evil satan worshippers, so I've never been bothered about whether my D&D hobby translates into a love of, you know, that one guy. Now, being a fat, sweaty, nerdy looking guy who...

Here you go, Goobermunch. Click Here [Edit: D'oh!]

This from the "4th edition Dungeons and Dragons". What does Prowlness mean???? Wow, but this is hillarious. [Edit: ] When I read this, I got an image of someone wearing plate armor going around kicking people in the shins. "Darn that Shinning Knight!" Very Monte Pythonish, if you ask me.

To answer the question of whether you should have veteran players or novice, I'll give you some advice from when I tried DM'ing, not neccessarilly for the first time, but I haven't had a LOT of experience. It is nice to have at least one person who is pretty experienced as a player and as a...

A friend of mine in college was a big Amber fan, and he ran me in an Amber campaign as a solo character. It was a lot of fun. I don't recall how he did the stat thing, but I'm sure it was some sort of point buy. I had a couple of magic powers, an intelligent mace which could do a mind blast...

The only groups that we had that actually took on a name was in a couple of Vampire: The Masquarade games we were in. In one we were the "Bathroom Hunters" owing to our particular hunting method. (I'll leave that up to your imagination) The other was the "Clean Neck Gang". We began hunting...

Here in Idaho, it's illegal to buy M-80's and so forth, but I think it's more city law than state law. You can find stands out beyond the city limits where you can buy most anything you want. Inside the cities, you can buy everything up to bottle rockets and roman candles, but nothing much...

He escaped by playing dead and running away when they weren't looking.

His luck went truly south when he tried to join the terrorist cell. [Edit: Apparently, I can't spell truly. :P]

We used to play GURPS a lot when I was younger. I think we got out of it for much the same reason as everyone else. But I must say that I've had a lot of good times playing GURPS. After all, probably the most successful game I've been in was a GURPS Vampire: The Masquarade game that a friend...

About the only stigma that I've seen in regards to D&D has to do with a friend of mine. He took a lot of crap in high school because he was pretty weird. So, one day, he got angry, I guess, and decided to bring a gun to school. He ended up shooting blindly into the typing room, and didn't...

Acheirie don't seemso cute when they're bringing up iron walls to trap you, casting silence so you can't cast spells and then beating you senseless. But, maybe it's just me

I was with you until my current game. I'm currently a dwarven Barbarian 1/Cleric 6/Runecaster 10. In a couple of levels, I'll, for the first time ever, get to cast 9th level spells. Each time I go up in level, it's a new experience for me. "wow...17th level, I've never gotten to 17th level...

We don't seem to have that problem. But I guess, it's because one of the players is of the type that they like to use summoned monsters and Mordenkainen's (Sp? Sorry Mr. Gygax) Sword. So, I have plenty of time to: 1) Figure out what my character wants to do. 2) Eat a nice meal 3) Take a nap...

I've never played a character with psionics. I've never fought a beholder. I've never cast 9th level spells And I've never been to Boston in the Fall. (I have this song stuck in my head now. Thanks, PC!) I have, however, been a player in a TPK, and I've been a DM who's TPK'ed a party.

Schrodinger's Dissertation, as it were. Good Luck, Bolan
