    Do you like Mountain Dew?

    nope not even a little bit. For drinks at the gaming table I prefer coke or coffee (and maybe a shot of rye with the former or some Bailey's with the latter).

    EN Worlders: Are You Normal Gamers

    At my table I am not typical. For most of the people I play with it is a one night a week thing that we do and they do not spend a lot of time thinking about it after. I have always spent alot of my spare time reading, talking or playing RPGs. I buy games I know I will never play (and...

    Poll: Which Systems are you playing or have played in the last year?

    How is Leverage? I am somewhat familiar with the cortex system (I have played Firefly and read over the revised "Cortex" rules. I also am a fan of the show,to be fair I checked it out because I had heard of the rpg.

    Sell the fluff, pimp the crunch

    And that is on WOTC for setting it up that way. I wouldn't think it would be all that difficult to set permissions such that you only have access to files that were uploaded after your DDi join date.

    Optional Firearms Rules

    I am looking at possibly adding some of the the optional firearms rules in Zeitgeist to my campaign. I would love to hear some opinions form people who have used some or all of them.

    we are very stable. campaigns tend to last a year or two at least players range from one guy I have playing with for 35 years to the newbs who I have only gamed with for the last 10 or 15 years

    "I Quit" Public Play - Am I just an impatient jerk? (LONG)

    Wow! I cannot speak to whether or not that is typical of Encounters as i have never attended a session. Truth be told I do not play in open public situations and quite frankly I probably never will (unless I somehow make to GenCon -- almost got the kids out of the house to begin to make it...

    Success, Failure and the D20

    I would think that if you are competing against someone or something of equal ability then there should be approximately a 50% chance of success or somewhere in the 9 - 12 on a d20 range. Keep in mind this should be strongest attack against strongest defence and vice versa. Obviously if you...

    Success, Failure and the D20

    I'm curious where the 78% percent comes from as opposed to say 75% or 80%?

    Evil DM Moments

    I have been DMing for a very long time and to be honest there have been a lot of "Evil DM" moments. My group always plays good, or at worst neutral with good tendencies, and so for me my favourite thing has to be to trick them into doing something nasty. Nothing seems to make them hate an...

    Anyone read "Dream Park"?

    I have read Dream Park and remember enjoying it -- I never got around to reading the sequels though. I'm a big Larry Niven fan and read most of what he put out (as well as that by his more frequent collaborator - Jerry Pournelle). Thanks for putting the thought in my head as I may just have to...

    D&D 4E Do you really want Greyhawk and Dragonlance for 4e

    I have to admit that as much as I love Greyhawk I have no interest is seeing WOTC spend time on bringing out a 4E setting and to be perfectly honest I could continue on just fine without seeing Dragonlance. As far DL being redone as a board game -- that shouldn't be too hard as one of the...

    Ashen Stars: space opera done really right

    Like you I have never been able to find a good SciFi RPG (at least one that held me for any real length of time)....so thanks for the heads up on this - I will definitely be checking it out.

    What is in the ultimate system?

    Although, like many of the answers here, I have to state that depending on my mood and the group I'm in my tastes vary. I have been playing RPGs for somewhere around 35 years and I have tried out a lot of systems and read through even more. I would also have to agree that there is no...

    Favorite D&D setting (of those listed)?

    From a purely sentimental point of view I would have to hang on to Grey Hawk -- I have played from the day it came out and I know it like the back of my hand. Some of my fondest gaming memories played out on that map. However Birthright has always facinated me and I had a lot of fun playing...

    The First Zombie-Proof House

    Thanks for the link --- seriously cool -- would love to know the price tag on this (not so I can save up --- just curious how far some people's paranoia goes - 'cause this seriously outdoes the whole bombshelter thing). This has all kinds of possibilities as a base for any kind of...
