What I don't get, is that one of my players DMs every once in a while to give me a break. While I am the player, I do like you said, I'm very enthusiastic and try to keep game play running smoothly. I don't complain, I roll roles, and I try to stay interested. When that same player plays, he...

Yeah, its 'vanilla' for a reason. Just make up what you want. There is lots of information on the Nentir Vale if you buy all the books and read them carefully. There are tons of assumptions made about the core setting. I just bought one of the Draconomicons today, and with that, the core setting...

I am DMing my first 4th edition table top games. They have one set of characters that will make 11th level at the end of the next session or two, depending on how fast they finish. They are in an epic final tier adventure that I made, but if they succeed, I might run them through Trollhaunt...

Find an item that heals. A limited orb of healing or something. It has X number of charges and shatters when the last is used, sending out rays of energy dealing damage to anyone in the aura.

This has got to be a joke.

Not too long ago, one of my players expressed interest in DMing. I rarely get to play so I encouraged him to DM. He DMed one session for the normal group. A few more sessions go by, and he wants to DM again. We had created new characters anyway, so again, I was excited. He was a pretty good DM...

Little to serious for me. I didn't even bother reading all of it. Normally I look forward to these. Maybe it was just too wordy for me today. I spent four hours in Geomorphology drawing contour maps, two hours designing an adventure, and then four hours having my players destroy my adventure. My...

I selected 1-5 years, but that is not quite true. My current gaming group consists of me, two of my friends and my girlfriend. Me and my two friends first gamed together about 14 years ago. My girlfriend just recently. Me and my friends took a long hiatus from gaming with each other, about 6...

I rarely use any of the monster as printed in the books. As far as completely original races, I probably average one new monster race every session or two.

I think they should have another contest like for Eberron. I think we got a great setting out of that.

Its funny this is brought up. While watching the NFC championship, the Bears QB got hit. My gf yelled, "That was a crit!" I was very proud, and the fact that Cutler stayed out the rest of the game made it even better. Our gaming group was there, among our football friends (who know nothing about...

I have been playing catch up myself. There are so many products that I want. I just bought Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons and King of the Trollhaunt Warrens. I bought two or three adventures or boxed sets in December. So the lack of products means WotC is getting my money still.

I have said in the past that I wanted interesting adventures with interesting locations. I have also said I want this generations "Tomb of Horrors" or "Keep on the Borderlands." After hearing everything about Madness at Gardmore Abbey, I think this is what I've been waiting for. Its a boxed...

Even though I have canceled my subscription and will not subscribe until I think its worth it, I like the positive vibe from this thread. I wish a few more people would speak their mind about liking DDI. Just so there is more perspective from different angles.

I am definitely getting Madness at Gardmore Abbey. Probably will preorder that. I can't wait to have a Deck of Many Things.

My friends are all Steelers fans, so Go Packers!

My coworkers know. I have asked several of them to play, and about half have agreed to play, but I have yet to invite them officially. One of the guys in my group used to work with me, but that isn't where or how we met and had gamed together previously. One of my players found out most of his...

I have became quite familiar with PBP games over the last several years. The key to PBP is to not let the game bog down. This is hard because different players like different things. I have a PBP group right now that bogs down and quits posting if they aren't in combat. Likewise in years past...

Seems like one big bad advertisement to me. :erm:

Just got #3 in today, and Dark Sun #1. Enjoying both series so far.
