Umm... what happened to the bookclub thread(s). I thought today was supposed to start the discussion of the first book and I can not find a current thread. HELP?!?!

ArthurQ, it does appear that the following weekend would be easier for me to attend.

I also decide on what to allow into my game on a case by case basis. My current policy is that I allow all WotC stuff without my approval, anything else I need to look over before I allow it in my game. I am usually very lienient and allow most stuff in my games.

Drawmack... your 6 year old goes back to school before the weekend of August 22nd? That is really early for the mid-Atlantic part of the country. As in most cases there seems to be no solution that will please everybody...

I voted to move it later into the month of August as well. Since I am a working stiff the dates don't matter to me, I will need to take days off either way. What would matter to me is if the cost of my hotel room was to go up 50 or 100% and food was more expensive/crowded, traffic was bad...

I would love to go, as I live in Suffolk County (N. Babylon to be exact) but unfortunately I have to work that day. Hope you all enjoy and I will be up for future game days for sure!

In my own defense... it is my opinion that Queenie exagerated slightly in her description of what happened. Yes the lich was on the third level of a dungeon but the party was lead through the dungeon following a trail of blood and had only a few encounters before reaching the end. They did not...

Brekke... I am not referring to prohibiting raise dead or ressurection, etc. In my original post I say that I do allow all of those things. In this case however it was at total party kill. The entire party was killed over a series of two encounters. And the bodies should have been dissolved...

Gothmog.... I agree with your feelings about death being treated like that. And that is a great story about how that PC happened to die. I think one of the reasons my players have a problem with their character's death in this case is because it was not a heroic action. About 1/2 of the party...

Fenes2... so when you have higher level characters dealing with stuff like disintegrate or even paralysis by a monster who then would eat the victim what do you do?

I haven't played in a while (DM duties) but doesn't it take something away from the game, especially at higher levels if you know that even if the whole party gets killed, that they can just come back somehow? That no matter what happens because it is a fantasy world they can always be brought...

I am curious to hear how people handle this in their games. I have been running two different campaigns with the same players. We play one campaign for a few months and then switch to the other on and off. In one of the campaigns at a climax point a TPK occured. We were planning to switch to...

Count me in! Sounds like a fantastic idea. I like the idea of the rotation of book types and the editorial board making the selection. Sounds great to me!

Everyone, tell us about your games, please. 1.) How many players in your group? 8 2.) Do you DM? Yes 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? 1 other DM 4.) What's the Male/Female composition of the group? 6 Male/2 Female 5.) Got a good gamestore near you and what is it? Yes...

I was originally thinking of going to this con myself, but now I am at the mercy of the Verizon strike (I am management and will be required to work a ridiculous amount of hours). So, if the strike is not in full swing that weekend I will try and get there for a day or two. Sam, I happened to...

I just wanted to throw in my thanks to all those who donated stuff to the gathering. A great time was had by me and my wife (queenie122) and I will always remember the gathering when I use my copy of Tournaments, Faires and Taverns as well as the other items that I picked up there. Thanks...

The game is "Dice Kwan Do" and it just a great game isn't it? My name is Rob by the way and me and my wife had a great time at O'Rourkes. I hope it becomes an ENworld Gencon tradition. Larry Fisk and ArthurQ, we will have to try and get together since we live so close. I am in North...

Well this sounds too interesting for me to sit by here idly. Count me in. If you need another DM I will try my best. Looking forward to Gencon '04 already!

Just woke up after spending Monday in the car... My first Gencon and in a word "overwhelming". My head was spinning the entire con. I remember walking through the dealer hall on Sunday one last time and saying over and over "Wait, I didn't even see that yet, or that..." Highlights of the...

Wow! That sounds fantastic... exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. Thanks Dr. Crane!
