Not ashamed one whit. But I also have enough sense to not deluge disinterested folks with the minutia of my life. Folks I interact with regularly know I game, but unless they ask for clarification (ie, show interest), that's about where it stops.

I've never encountered a pet species that annoyed me (although particular members of some species have raised some warning flags), but I am allergic to large number of them; we found our Cotons while looking for hypoallergenic dogs.

jkason: most of the details of Gyuliga and the seal were in the previous two updates.

INT. EVENING - DAFYDD'S OFFICE Gang in research mode, with Paul still tied to chair. JUNO Any idea how much time we have?" Really? You asked that? Are you not familiar with the tropes of this genre?!? :) PAN TO: CLOCK Showing 6:15pm. FADE TO: CLOSE: OFFICE BUILDING CLOCK Showing 6:15pm...

A monocle. Trust me, a beholder with a monocle is a thing to *ahem* behold.

Both low and high magic have their place in the gaming world, and while some RPGs may lean more one way than the other, neither is inherently better. Strictly a taste thing.

I know! We got both our Cotons from a breeder, and had to forcibly stop ourselves from visiting her website, afraid we'd want to grab a few more from her.

Random is neither good or bad. It just is. (I'm a mathematician, can you tell? :)) I prefer tailored stuff, but random results are for making me think outside my pre-conceived box, both as a player and DM.

Yes... yes indeed.

What the heck is a Baatezu?!?

I look for deals (but not as well as my wife), but it isn't the be-all-and-end-all. I also tend to factor in quality and how long an item will be used - we just today bought new bedroom sets for the kids, and while we didn't get the cheapest ones, we got ones that will last so we don't need to...

I read somewhere that one of the reasons Lucas had to jigger with that scene was because it was needed to avoid a PG-13 rating (which didn't exist when Star Wars was first released). As for why Obi-wan's sabre didn't warrant the same jiggering... I have no idea. Probably has to do with the...

Ser Patrek trudges across the ruins of the keep, unmoved by the clansmen being executed. He hears a few of the Vantri men congratulating the young blacksmith on his efforts during the battle, and more praising Ser Jarl's riding. His headache was returning. Gone when the blood started pumping as...

Sorry I wasn't clear about it - the bit with Steven and Paul and the "Demonyness" of the demon was from his Occult success. Not enough to know any Gyuliga stuff, but to notice the general demonyness (I've used it twice, gotta be a word :)

Officially, our two Coton de Tulears get dry kibble most of the time, with the occassional wet meat canned food as a treat. Unofficially, we also have two toddlers who are generous in sharing their "people" food with the dogs.

I usually create - either written or just in my head - way more than I expect to ever give the players. Usually though, I just give them a short verbal breakdown of their starting area (made easier because I often use the real-world culture analogies), and then I give out a lot of "as you know"...

You forgot to post the poll. tl;dr Witty(?) comment

I tend to go with thematic names for my campaigns or names dealing with the McGuffin, which then tend to get attached to my settings - I don't frequently run multiple campaigns in the same homebrew settings. Examples: The Legend of Aerilis The Coming Night The Shadow Mosaic Strands of Fate...

INT. EVENING - HALLWAY OUTSIDE DAFYDD'S OFFICE Juno and Gavin are walking, Gavin in a bit of disbelief. GAVIN So the guy just got up from being hit by a minivan? JUNO That's what it sounds like. Raychel got clipped, but guy got pegged square on, but no sign of him when the paramedics came for...

It comes down to how much a group of friends enjoys rassing each other.
