    Game of Thrones 2.5 The Ghost of Harrenhal (spoilers)

    While I certainly do not object to the viewing of the chestal region of certain membets of the female cast, we live in the age of the 'Net. Should I wish such views, GIYF :) I agree with the expectations and lack theteof.

    Creating PC's with Personality

    Flip it back at you - are your NPCs flat and lifeless? I've always found NPCs with personality useful to draw oit the character of my players' characters. Barring that, encourage them to borrow character concepts from film, television, and books. If you want extreme, try running a session or...

    Stanley Cup Playoffs 2012

    I can't say as though the Yotes are messing with my pool; I don't much left of one to begin with.

    Game of Thrones 2.5 The Ghost of Harrenhal (spoilers)

    Meh I just chalk it up to modesty and practicality - it's one thing to do a nude scene by yourself or 1-2 others, entirely another to spend several weeks prancing about exposed like that; Dany will likely be in Qarth for another episode or two, if not more. And on that note, support is...

    GAME OF THRONES #5:The Ghost of Harrenhal ACT 15 Chapter 2-2012

    I wonder what Tywin suspects of Arya. He obviously recognized the threat in her "any body can die", and he picked up on her being a northern girl. Does he wonder why an eight or nine year old girl from Barrowton would be so far south? Travel wasn't exact common for smallfolk.

    Stanley Cup Playoffs 2012

    I saw that as well. Interesting trivia. Dunno if it holds true in round 2, but in round 1, each game was won by the team that blocked the most shots.

    What's your favorite trap?

    That's why simple traps that can be used/triggered during another encounter are best.

    Stanley Cup Playoffs 2012

    I hope Nashville makes it. All I have left in my players are 4 Preds + Kopitar and Kovalchuk

    Can Quantum Entanglement surpass the speed of light

    I can't find the link right now, but I had just recently read a newsbyte blurb that mention some science research in quantum entanglement that indicated 'effect' preceding 'cause'. Grain of salt of course, because I didn't read the paper, so I don't know if the newsblurb was being faithful to...

    Bringing PCs together when starting a new campaign

    My last several games have all been set in Westeros using ASoIaF RPG, so the first step has always been that the players define their House first, and then everyone comes up with their relationship with the house - blood, retainer, sworn sword, etc. In short - make the players do the work.

    What's your favorite trap?

    Always love the simple pit. With a gelatinous cube wedged in it.

    Stanley Cup Playoffs 2012

    Well, that round decimated the hockey pool rosters. Maybe 4-5 people out of 30+ in my pool have half their picks still (I have 6). I picked 3 out of the 8 series correctly, but my match-ups are all over the place. Guess I'm pulling for a Washington - Nashville final, but Washington needs...

    Is there too much cost disparity between DM's and players?

    Yeah, I'm not really seeing it. Most splatbooks are targeted at players first, because there's potentially more buyers in the "player" market than "DMing". I have spent more than some of my players, but that's been by choice, not any assumed obligation.

    RPGs and mental health issues

    Depends on how they were selected. Not to describe your group, but if I picked players from, say, a mental illness support group, having a high percentage of people with mental health issues would not be significant.

    RPGs and mental health issues

    I do think you're extrapolating too much, particularly when you're also stretching the definition of mental health issues (even if only a little). To be fair, I've never done an assessment of my players, so this is both observational and anecdotal, but there's been, I'd wager, one player in my...

    You're on a Boat . . .

    Start the investigation with the engineering crew, top to bottom. If suspected - detain. If not, enlist their help in causing a delay of ship reaching port. That's not a detainment of passengers, just a mechaincal error. See who gets edgy with the delayed landing. Question them.

    GAME OF THRONES #4Garden of Bones: ACT 14 Chapter 2-2012

    Also, so glad they kept in Tyrion's "educating" the King vs threatening Ser Meryn scene/lines. I can only imagine the fun Dinklage is having in that role.
