SELL.....Gaming Books.... huhwha? I just can't wrap my brain around that idea. Why yes, I AM a packrat. Why do you ask?

IMLC, Ogres, or "Gorgs", were native to a cold, mountainous region far to the north, home of a Slavic human population. I had introduced a number of them (200-ish), plus a handful of Ogre Magi (mutations that naturally lead the others) into the then current game region, through a spacial rift...

One reason that I house rule the idea that someone playing a Paladin has to be approved by the group as a whole is the very idea that Paladins tend to warp groups into their service. The game starts to focus on that character, it's ideals and it's service; to the exclusion or reduction in the...

Haven't done Pizza delivery in a long, long time. Generally a few bucks, don't usually bother figuring percentage. Restaurants: Minimum 15%, usually more like 25%. With two exceptions in the past 15 years: 1> Italian Restaurant, mid-day. Only one other couple in the place. Waitress is...

I like the constructed mount approach. Most will not suspect that there is a Wizard inside, which may help you escape if/when the "mount" is taken down. A smaller, "escape vehicle" could be real fun. The big bad takes down your 8' mecha-robot mount, only to have you escape out a hatch in the...

Pretty much what I said in agreeing to play a Bard in a War of the Burning Sky campaign. Small Group(Bard = Liability), Large Group(Bard = Asset). Given the Bard's limited spellcasting, low HP and the like, this is not a really good option. Same here. Spells are far too limited for doing...

11pm Sunday. I guess I could see half of it if I got out of work skippy fast. 10pm Monday. No help. Ain't seeing it on Friday schedule.

DAMN THEM ALL!!! For moving the show to Sunday nights. I work second shift and my nights off are Thursday and Friday. So I could watch the show, when it was on Friday nights. Now I don't get to see it. TiVo? Poverty denies me such luxuries.

Been there, experienced that. "I am doing what my character thinks is appropriate and logical". Sure, fine. But when the game ends because of it, who are you going to upset with? The GM, or yourself? I never quite understand this belief that "Just because I believe that it's appropriate...

"What's wrong, Ero Gaki? You're looking old these days! Are you ill? Stressed out? Man, you seriously look in need of some rest. Your hair is turning grey in a big hurry!"

Trish Stratus was in fitness, then a professional wrestler for a long time. I'd resist arrest long enough to do some struggling with her... Erik Estrada? Soon to be seen on the show; "Hey, he's not a cop! He just played one on TV. Thirty years ago!" I predict; Jack Osborn will be busted...

QFT. That's what I've tended to see, over and over. Unfortunately, it most often seems to be the complete blanking moron whose character is least able to successfully pull it off. Like the slowest moving character in the group, or the Wizard with AC 10 and HP 11. Then you get the guy who...

Call of Cthulhu game. Set in 1920's England, but we've crossed the Atlantic to deal with something in Connecticut. It turns out to be a town of Fishmen. Before we get there, we are captured by another town, which is full of snake people. Our psychologist is physically modified by them and...

1> Browsing. I can look things over, read the box, see the associated merchandise, perhaps even speak to someone who knows something about it. Can't necessarily do that on-line. In the process, I will also see other games, supplements or items that I may not have come into contact with or...

As per kigmatzomat's tale, I think that any good set of GM's rulebooks should contain a warning that; If you have a plot that absolutely has to go X, Y, Z in order for the adventure to happen, and you want it to happen that way.... Bag it, Tag it, Throw it away. Because it won't work that way...

My three character deaths at the hands of the same GM in the space of about 15 sessions, before I wised up and moved on. 1> Third session of me in the existing group. GM decides that he's ending the current game to start a new "grim and gritty" game, so he's going to end this one with a bang...

I'd like to point out that, although my post count isn't all that high, I am here at least twice a day, more often on the days I don't work. Embarassing as it is, I'm also dial-up, so if you want to test how it works for us luddites, I'm your man.

What a silly man! Every ignorant American knows that the USA *is* the whole world! I mean, isn't Ethiopia down near Mississipi? And England is next to New England, right?

Of course, we still have Borg....er, Cybermen and at least one Dalek running around. Not all of the Cybermen should have been pulled in. Not the ones who were created on Earth, anyways, as they should not have been 'infected' with those particles. And of course, what's not to say that one of...

I've played in five groups with GM/SO combinations, none with GM/non-SO relationship. In three GM/SO groups, the wife of the GM got no preferential treatment, never asked for it. In one of the other two, she didn't get outright favoratism, but did appear to gain things such as more contacts...
