I certainly hope my players enjoy the games the I run. They say as much. But does that mean that a better game might not come along for them? Or hasn't already? I don't know, and likely never will. They've stuck with me, that's all I know for sure. Now, I do play in a game that isn't...

Ah. Never played or ran I6. My earliest (and only) exposure to Ravenloft was the 2e box set. Thanks for the clarification.

Maybe I'm naive, but I think I game with generally good people who would remain loyal to a game. Mostly because I only game with people I like, and each of my groups contains people who are, if not friends, easily could be. Many of us do things together outside of gaming, so I think there's a...

In 2e Ravenloft days, it wa possible to enter into Ravenloft (which is located in it's own little pocket "dimension") by passing through any kind of barrier. IIRC, the 2e box set specifically mentions thick fogs, passing under the boughs of menacing trees arched over a road way, or dipping your...

Also considering the fact that it uses the standard "4dnd" URL structure, which I assume designates 4e. If it was some kind of crafty 5e announcement, it would use a URL that denotes a shiny new edition. Now, that doesn't mean they can't reroute the URL they provide to something like...

Yup. And I'd take into account that the stone is poor quality, it rained the night before, the fighter has craptastic rope use skills, and is decked out in heavy armor and then remember that the fighter is level 4, so I'm going to be hard on him and say the DC is his level plus 12-15, because...

I like this. Since it's New Orlean-ish, the frequent flooding of the nearby river delta (and heavy seasonal storms) would be BAD NEWS. Frequent zombie uprisings. Ghoul cults actively trying to destroy levees. Graveyards as they were would be built on top of the highest land people could...

I just want to chime in and say that I DM a 4e game, and have been through the "this just isn't like I remember my early gaming days being!" phase. Then I realized the problem was with me, and not with the game system. I firmly believe the retro/old school/etc. gaming community is playing the...

While I wait for my wife to finish up on some Dresden Files backlog, I'm reading Book Four of Dean Koontz Frankenstein series - Lost Souls.

One of my groups is currently playing a game set in Baltimore. It's a lot of fun. I'm playing a Twitter and blog obsessed paranormal investigator (pure mortal). I Live-Tweet our gaming sessions, and my character's "blog" is the campaign journal. Good times.

Aaaaaaaand...now I have to create a villainous wizard named Cozbi who commands an army of gelatinous cubes (and frozen puddings).

... HENCE THE PARTIAL INTERNET OUTAGE TODAY. Amazon was the first victim of Skynet's assault. 4/21/2011 NEVER FORGET.

Jawesome. I'd XP, but I need to spread it around, unfortunately.

This. Fringe sounds like something I would really like, I just can't seem to find a way (or reason) to start watching it. =/

Good luck. Whichever way you decide to go on this, it's going to be difficult. The best you can hope for in any situation is the most positive result for most of the involved parties. I hope things work out for you, somehow and some way. Also, for the official record (someone *is* keeping an...

I intend to do this as the capstone encounter for our first upcoming Dark Sun campaign session. The party is starting off as slaves sentenced to (or living in) the gladiator pits of Nibenay for a various assortment of reasons. The first encounter will be a means to introduce them to each...

Boo Caps. Go Flyers. (Assuming they manage to not collapse in the post season like they did at the end of the regular season.) But hey, at least we can both agree that the Penguins blow, right?

Wow. And I thought that the time my friends and I played at the park pavilion down the street from my house because my mother wouldn't allow us to play inside her house was nuts.

I'll just be blunt - you likely need to drop your relationship with both girls. You need to end it with Kaylee because right now, you're not being fair to her, and you probably can't be. Just be honest with her. And you need to end with Leela because you're never going to get what you want...

Even though my players fled the dungeon like rats on a sinking ship after being brutalized by the trap in the first room, I still intend to one day run my "Cult of the Spider" adventure: Ruined, buried temple. Large chambers with high, high ceilings. Disquieting geometries to the...
