    New Game

    I am of this feeling as well. I think a certain cure for this will be a two fold gaming style wherein most games will be one shot adventures. I just can't stand being halfway through a game with certain players only to return in two weeks with missing players that we then have to catch up to...

    New Game

    I see no problem with this time frame, except that people need to show up on time. 4 hours is not a long time to game, and if people don't show up on time, due to chit chat and so on, a 4 hour session can quickly become a 2 hour session. If this happens much I will be just as disappointed as if...

    New Game

    Well, the second day is not so much optional as it is an alternate day in case no one can make it on the other day... Of course spouses are welcome. Maybe the girls can go and do there own thing or something, I don't know...

    New Game

    I am getting the feeling that Saturday is the day, with the exception of Thormagni. Perhaps we could do Saturday as the primary and Friday night as the alternate. Saturdays are generally better anyway because we can get more gaming in. If we have to meet on Friday, we still should, just to...

    1st Ed D&D

    Ha! 2d4 monsters. I like it. So, do you think Chris, your son, will want to play with us?

    1st Ed D&D

    Well, just to let you in on a secret, Thor, Taylorsville and Columbus do not comprise the totality of what you refer to as the world. Though with travel, communication and media our world is arguably "smaller", there is a great deal that lies beyond the borders of Bartholomew County. I am told...

    I'm in. Friday or Saturday are equally good.

    1st Ed D&D

    Well, unrealistic or not, that is what we are shooting for. Frankly we are looking for players who can commit. We will find them. I don't think it is that far fetched. Would your wife enjoy coming? I know her and she seems like she might enjoy it. Sometimes these things can be cured by...

    James Bond

    I haven't read any of the books. I have to say that I enjoyed the new Bond portrayal, though I thought the movie overall was a bit weak. A little too contrived for my tastes. Perhaps that is why the old movies fell into that campy sort of feel. It's tough to deal with this sort of subject...

    1st Ed D&D

    Well, we are not ruling out old players. We just think that new blood might be a necessary component to our own enthusiasm being lifted. Plus, some of the recent ideas we have been tossing back and forth would require old players to shelve some of their knowledge of Inzeladun. Meaning the...

    1st Ed D&D

    Well, we have been playing for many years! So, tell us about yourself! Who are you? :)

    Apewty We have been thinking of starting a new campaign with some new players. Inzeladun Master and I will talk and let you know, for sure, about what we might do...

    Tide of Iron: Desert Campaign

    This would change things slightly, but only if the British have good luck with their artillery. I am beginning to wonder if we were playing something wrong. Otherwise it is one really lopsided campaign. What do the other gamers say about the British chances?

    Tide of Iron: Desert Campaign

    Well, Bob and I played the first scenario twice yesterday: Hellfire Pass. It is an aptly named pass. Both of us lost miserably as the British. The German guns tore into the British like dogs into a package of wieners. I still see no clear way of winning this scenario as the British save...

    Two Choices

    There are certainly people of the opinion that our greatest presidents were also our most eloquent and possessing of great writing talent. I am inclined to agree. A man who can outline his thoughts clearly and succinctly typically indicates a man who has clear and concise thoughts, not to...

    World Building

    "I certainly don't like the idea of unified elves, as that reduces conflict - and, hence, story opportunities." No, no. You mistake me. I simply meant for small fights, elves would naturally use their magic together. They could easily be targeted singly, as individually their power is...

    World Building

    The other thing that this might do is create a culture of unity and teamwork among elves. Certainly if their power was limited they would band together more and fight as more unified forces...

    World Building

    Another simple solution is to simply cap the NPC elves level attainment. You could even take certain spells available for the higher levels and dumb them down so that they could still be used but would have less punch, so to speak.
