    Does your Dwarven warrior wield an axe?

    I've only played a fighter two times in my extensive D&D career, and both were axr-carrying dwarves. My next one will use a chain, though. Just because I've wanted to for a while. But it may be a long time before I create a fighter character again.

    Kicking a player out of the group.

    I'm sorry, but I've got to back 3catcircus on this one. I've long felt (every time I read a thread saying "I've got to kick my friend out of my gaming group, how do I do it") that the feeling of creating the perfect RPG atmosphere contributes significantly to the antisocial stigma of the...

    individual fun VS party needs

    The one time I was forced to play a particular class, the game totally sucked, and now I associate "forcing balance" with "crappy GM and/or players." I truly believe that. A good group will work with whatever it has, regardless of the setting or whatnot, and a good GM will mildly compensate...

    ENWorld/ENnies Booth Volunteers: Thanks for Signing-up!

    I'll be running around like a crazy man, but I'll see if I can fit any open slots into my schedule. I won't be at the con the whole time, though, so we shall see.

    Are there any 3/3.5 Adventures that don't suck?

    I have to agree with this. CoS is a great module, and is set up perfectly for "building" a great adventure. If you just want to run it straight out of the book, it very well may suck, but if you're willing to put in some time and make add some meat to the skeleton it provides, you've got...

    What other games besides D&D do you play?

    I play a lot of games, but frequently I would say: Changeling Nobilis Marvel Super Heroes (many different versions of it) Call of Cthulhu Midnight (well, it's basically D&D but, whatever) Infrequently: All Flesh Must Be Eaten Vampire Werewolf Shadowrun Mutants & Masterminds 7th Sea and...

    Why should I care about the FLGS?

    I would say I spend 80% of my gaming dollar online (primarily Amazon.com) and 20% at my FLGS. My FLGS is The Source in Saint Paul (well, Falcon Heights, actually) Minnesota. Really, you couldn't ask for a better store. It's as good if not better than Games Plus in Illinois, which is a hard...

    Has anyone ever tried to 'save' you from D&D?

    I see what you're doing here. You're using your weak chicanery to try to convince everyone here that I didn't really meet LeeAnn Rimes at Perkins! I see through your ploy. It's because you're jealous! Jealous I tell you!

    Good Swashbuckling D&D Type Game?

    Hmmm, well, I quite like Mutants & Masterminds... so it has caught my interest.

    Good Swashbuckling D&D Type Game?

    Perhaps I do.... is it any good?

    Has anyone ever tried to 'save' you from D&D?

    Well, that's fortuitous. I mean, I'd imagine Jesus would be more than willing to pick up the tab. I met LeeAnn Rimes at a Perkins at 3 AM. But I don't think that's really the same. She really didn't have anything interesting to say. I think she was tired.

    Good Swashbuckling D&D Type Game?

    Hmmm, I'd better make myself clearer. Actually, I don't want any fantasy races and such. I guess really what I'm looking for is a good swashbuckling game that uses d20. Sorry... I always think of 7th Sea as "roll-and-keep" so the system is more what I wanted to avoid. The setting is just...

    Has anyone ever tried to 'save' you from D&D?

    Wow... I feel screwed. Nobody ever bothered to put together an intervention group for me. I wish they had... it actually sounds like a riot. Nope... my parents always trusted my judgement enough to never question it, and my wife and most of my friends play, so it's never been an issue...

    Good Swashbuckling D&D Type Game?

    Okay... I could swear I've seen references to a d20 swashbuckling game (other than 7th Sea.. I love 7S but I'm looking for something more D&D oriented) but for the life of me I've been unable to find it. Did I just imagine this, or is there something decent out there that people might have been...

    Vin Diesel Once Again Speaks About DND

    C'mon... JesterPoet? Vin is really cool. Do you think he'd pick such a lame nickname? Hey.... wait a minute.....

    Vin Diesel Once Again Speaks About DND

    My wife and I had tickets to the sneak preview (or whatever they call it). I just happened to get mine because my buddy works at the comic shop and didn't want to go, so he just gave them to me. Seemed like most of the people there won them though. I quite enjoyed it. It's not exactly the...

    Vin Diesel Once Again Speaks About DND

    Slightly OT, but not totally.... Chronicles of Riddick was AWESOME! I'd recommend seeing Pitch Black again before going out to see it though.

    Vin Diesel Once Again Speaks About DND

    I'd prefer not to have it well known that Carrot Top plays D&D. As soon as you do a 1-800-CALL-ATT commercial, you are no longer a positive spokesperson. Not even for ATT

    Anyone else only allow core rulebooks

    I totally forgot about this thread, and my notify isn't working :) Thanks for the info from all of you. I should expand my original post to say that I do allow non-core materials but they have to be approved by me, and approval may take time. Because of that, many of my players don't even...

    Do you USE/HATE DM Management Software?

    Wow, it does seem that most people aren't really using these tools. Perhaps I'll hold off for some time now. I'm curious about E-tools, but not curious enough to pay $35 to test it out, and I don't see a free demo of it out there, so that's out.
