I'm thinking about trying out DM Genie. I've never so much as brough my laptop to a game before, but I'm intrigued by this software. I'm not sure, though. I'd be interested to hear from those of you who have used DM Management software. Some of the things I'm interested in knowing are: 1)...

I think I'd really like Ravenloft if I got into it, but my only experience with it was through a really BAD DM, so I can't make a fair judgement on it yet.

<sigh> I am happy I have a good group. I'm pretty sure I've explicitly stated that. I simply wish I could play in the same campaign as Dude1. It seemed we had a system set up that allowed me to do that. The situation has proven otherwise. I am disappointed and thus I ranted. I'm pretty...

You lost a nipple piercing? That must have an interesting story attached to it.

No doubt I've been spoiled. It's a good group. But there's no question that nearly every group has issues, and this happens to be the issue with this group. It's not a relationship-threatening one by any means, thank God. Nonetheless, it's something that irritates me. I'm sure I do...

I guess first I should ask what you consider "core rulebooks" and, does anyone else only allow character creation and advancement out of core books? I only allow that in one of my games, and my definition of core is simple: PH & DMG Only core races, only core classes. Am I the only one...

See, but that isn't the case. As I said, we've specifically sat the group of us (minus dude 2) down and said, "Dude 1 and I would certainly like it if someone else would run." and waited for a response. When no response came, that was as good as, "I do not want to run" from C1, C2 & C3. C1...

I have to disagree with you on a certain level. While I can understand not wanting to GM, not offering to GM in a group where taking turns is the standard and not offering an explanation, in my opinion, is freeloading (though not tremendously so). Perhaps, though, now that I think it out, more...

Nope. But (as the cook in our household) if my wife never bothered to cook a meal, ever, she would certainly find me rebelling, and would be finding food on the table with far less frequency.

Outside of saying to the group, "Dude 1 and I don't feel like running the next game. Who is going to run next" and ending up with nothing but silence, no. S'allgood, though. It isn't as big of a deal to me as some people seem to think it is. Just an annoyance, and something that seemed...

It's not that I don't get plenty of play time in. I do. I'm totally content with the amount of time spent playing vs. DMing in this group. Perhaps it's more that when it was suggested that someone else run, they didn't: A) Either offer to run or B) At least offer a reason why they weren't...

Important to get to know your fellow ENWorlders

Not really sure here. Guess we're sorta in the middle. Though we do have The Source, which is a pretty sweet games and comic store.

I think how good it is going to be depends a lot on how popular it is, and because of that, how many supplements are produced for it. Right now, it doesn't intrigue me, but I think with some additional material, it just might. Whether or not additional material happens, or if it just kinda...

Now that's a REALLY good point I never thought of. Don't know if it would apply to our group or not, since we all seem to run different stuff. But it has happened in another group, and is worth being cautious of. Hmmmm... really good point.

That's the one class I really haven't played long enough to get a feel for it. Every time I've wanted to be a cleric, the party has needed me to be something else, and every time the party has needed a cleric, I've wanted to be something else. Hmmmm, I do have to prepare a backup character for...

Does your group run one long involved campaign, or lots of short ones? Do you vary the systems, or only play one thing? Which do you prefer? Do you like the in-depthness (hey, I'm an English major, I'm allowed to make up words) of a long-running campaign, or do you like the variation of...

Well, this has spawned the idea for a new thread....

Actually, I also voted for my favorite class, then realized I was supposed to vote for what I play now.... sorry. I play a druid currently, but I really like playing rogues. I'm not sure why really. I like just about all classes, but I like rogues the best. I get bored playing fighters.

I think that was a bit more melodrama than I was prepared for with this issue. Really, my point was that it takes guts to try. Especially to try something you're not 100% comfortable with. I respect that courage a lot. I mean, geez... it's not like I'm saying I don't want to be friends or...
