    Goths, Celts and Vikings

    Possibly, yes. We have more than one horned helm from the right era and places. We also have a couple art pieces where an individual has one on. But for all we know Burger King was using horned helms back then ;)

    Goths, Celts and Vikings

    The reason for the few horned helms found is largely unknown. If the couple pieces of art are to be believed the were worn as some sorta party by an individual or two. No one knows if they wore them outside the party or if the helm meant anything at the party.

    The most character-less character you've ever played?

    Fie Tor... I think the name says enough ;)

    What is it about a game that influences average party size?

    I think World of Darkness with its Physical, Mental and Social roles begins to have characters who step on each others toes fairly quickly as you add people. 3 fills the need, each addition has to go somewhere by the time you hit 7 player characters overlap so much they aren't really special...

    Your favorite character advancement scheme

    I use something similar to that only rather than Storyteller assigned I ask the questions to the players and they judge themselves.

    Best Moments of Gaming

    As a Player We had been playing this long Traveller campaign (most weeks for a couple years, 7+ hour sessions). Our planet is surrounded by this armada of alligator men ready to pound us and our home into oblivion. We have a few ships but way out gunned and outclassed. We used some EMPs, Comm...

    Players - if you would consider your PC having a romance with an NPC, what sort?

    Well as a player I figured it would happen as we were playing All Flesh Must Be Eaten... We all knew going in all the NPCs were going to die and we would be lucky if one of us lived by the end but my character never saw it coming ;) he died after falling off a roof trying to get out of a burning...

    Players - if you would consider your PC having a romance with an NPC, what sort?

    The one romance my character had was with a gearhead. She was the tom boy, blonde hair, blue eyed, athletic, mechanic working on my truck. She liked me, I liked her... then the zombies got her :(

    D&D is satanic - does anybody think so?

    On rare occasion by people who obviously take whatever is said behind a pulpit as 100% truth, because obviously they cant make mistakes ever. My mom still refuses to buy me D&D or Vampire books other RPGs she is ok with.

    How much buy-in from the players do you need before you start a campaign?

    Depends on the game. Usually the players need to figure out why they are all working together and what role they each will take. Whos the faceman? Whos the fighter? stuff like that.

    Do you like character building?

    I want to play not build characters. If I have to build a character give me a class/template with a few points to add onto it.

    RPG Documentaries: The Dungeon Masters, etc..

    The one about Nero is pretty good, it shows a regular guy who works at Xerox who takes his girls and has a great time... and the dregs to. [edit] warning it does spend more time on the worst types of gamers (more entertaining I guess) but it does show that there are perfectly normal people who...

    Coolest Thing PC's Have Ever Done

    The 3.0 game I met my wife in was pretty funny. The GM had a rule that 3 20s in a row killed anything instantly and that 1 is an auto fail. So we are running away from a Balor I think we were around 3rd or 4th level and everyone is out of spells except my Bard who still has some 0 levels left...

    Players: it's your responsibility to carry a story.

    I find its more important that players have common ideas/goals than that they are proactive. Though I could see that as a problem. I tend to run NPCs with motivations and events. The PCs will at some point run into these NPCs or events and then choose how they will deal with it. This then...

    You All Meet In A Bar

    I've thought its a brilliant idea for years. Just remember bar first, gaming second. You can have miniature gaming tables instead of pool tables and xbox/ps/wii instead of sports on. Private room rentals with a discount based on the food/drink ordered. I've known several restaurant owners who...

    Coolest Thing PC's Have Ever Done

    They decided to skip my planned mission for Shadowrun and instead use their own resources, contacts, etc to track down a re-occurring mad scientist and put him in the grave once and for all. The mad scientist would be the BBEG for a mission ever few months or so. I put a hint of where he was in...
