    Why would you want to play *that*??

    1. Aw, is it time for THIS thread again, already? 2. D&D grew out of wargaming. Expectations of amateur acting piled on top are just that, piled on top. Personally, I think too many people get too elitist and snobby about "role" vs. "roll" playing. (I'm not trying to comment on anyone in...

I'm thinking of the scene where he asked one of his co-workers if she could pull up a list of Internet...

    Jobhunting

    Well, now that I've graduated from college, I have a much less pleasant task ahead of me: Finding a job. To me, it's really annoying because it seems like getting a job in the first place depends so much on sales skills, even if the job itself has nothing to do with sales tasks. I've had a...

    Cheating - who cares?

    Blatant Rules Errors in Published Modules

    My group is playtesting a module that will be published in the near future, and I'll be DMing for the playtest session. As I've read through the module, I've noticed multiple very obvious rules errors. I've emailed the publisher about this, but I haven't received a response :( When you run...

    Hanukkah D&D Campaign

    This could be a dangerous post due to the religious connection, but please bear with me. Background: I'm not Jewish, but my wife is considering a conversion, and she is thus celebrating Hanukkah. She tells me that, while the candles burn down, different families have different traditions...
