    How many PC deaths do you see per session?

    Currently I am averaging one PC death per session, with a couple having none, and a couple having 2. One session I managed to kill off two _and_ a cohort. Generally I try not to snuff PCs, but our current game is a very Gamist tromp through Undermountain. At only 1 death per session average, I...

    Which race do you HATE to play?

    Half-elves. If you are going to be elf-like, go whole hog! Be an entire elf! They aren't even good for powergaming. Now gnomes kick major booty. In my homebrew I have gnomes as David the Gnome types with Druid as their favored class. They live in the woods, take care of the trees and animals...

    If you could try a RPG that ISN'T D&D...

    If I could find a GM for them I'd love to play these either for the first time, or again. Call of Cthulhu - Love the game, but I want someone else to run it this time. Feng Shui Paranoia - Haven't tried it, but keep hearing stories... Tales from the Floating Vagabond. Have ( had ) the book...

    Have you used Artifacts in your games?

    Only once, I allowed the PCs access to a Sphere of Annihilation ( with a Talisman of the Sphere so they could control it... ) This was from one of the Demons and Devils modules from Necromancer Games.

    How mainstream is D&D / RPGs

    I don't put D&D or any RPGs on my resume, but neither do I put any hobbies on there. But I don't hide it from my coworkers, and make frequent references to it. But then in my field ( web programming ) being a geek of some sort is not just assumed, it is often expected.

    Internet Romance: Dream or Reality?

    I should hope it is possible... My current job depends upon it. *heh* Those looking for romance online just need to be cautious, more so than meeting people face to face. You need to take the time to get to know someone online, through video chat, phone calls, etc before meeting them in person...

    Who might be going to GenCon SoCal?

    I went last year, but this year I am not so sure. I should have a 2 week old at that point, and it depends upon whether Mrs. Arkham wants me to help with the little lass, or gets annoyed with me and sends me off to play. ;-)

    5th level is a perfect starting point! Have them visit the City of Splendors and drop into Undermountain... And don't come up until they reach 10th level, or die trying...

    Complete Adventurer - sounds good

    I thought it was great for the Bard class. It had a Pirate's of Penzance homage. And a Robin Hood, the Musical PRC. And a class based on the Itsy Bitsy Spider... Or perhaps it was just my mind desperatly seeking something bardlike from the classes within. ( Or just my mind playing tricks on me...

    Does your Dwarven warrior wield an axe?

    Why would a Dwarf wield an axe? What is there in their warrens that needs an Axe? There are no trees down there... That is why all the Dwarfs I run use either hammers, or picks.

    DM Advice on dealing with PCs buying/selling magic items

    A few comments. It gets complex... Cure potions are almost always available, depending upon the level of the local church priest. And then they have to deal with that specific church. Sometimes the PCs decide they don't need curing potions that badly when they have to buy them from the...

    stupid PC names

    The only ones I've experienced are from the current game I play in where we intentionally ( GM included ) use really, really, really bad names. 'Asiatic' characters named Lei Yu Lo, Mai Tai, Wong Wei, and Long Po following a god named Hung Wei Lo. Others are: a female bard named Ja-hat Mamah...

    Looking for a monster book recommendation

    Dessert creatures?!? Great! I can submit my conversion of Flans, and some puddings, Jello's, and maybe even my cakedaemon. I hope they accept my Dire Fondue, I am awefully fond of that one. I'm a bit leery of even submitting my mousse-folk, they are a bit 'done'. And for my desert dessert...

    Cockatrice Wing, Treant Salad, Troll inna can - An Adventure's Cuisine

    A PC in the campaign I play in cooks _anything_ killed, to such an extent as he has become known as Dexter the Digester. He was also the ship's cook... The Kender was tender, and the Merfolk needed some lemon. Peasant Under Glass started getting old after a while. But the best dish he served...

    [OT]Favorite Magic cards?

    Dakkon Blackblade. The coolest of the origional Legends. "My power is as vast as the plains, my strength is that of mountains. Each wave that crashes upon the shore thunders like blood in my veins." Lifeline. Imagine an Artifact which doesn't let anyone die, as long as they do not die alone...

    Most likable PrC

    My favorite is my own homebrew the Brotherhood of Whispers. For published PrCs, my favorite is the Flame Steward ( post errata ). It is just 'cool'. :-)
