We play a couple times a year with friends. Sometimes with the basic game, sometimes with big sets added in. It's always fun because something goofy happens just when you think you have it all planned out.

Maps, even sketchy ones with few details, help to solidify your city for you and your players. So yes, give them maps. As far as accents go, one way to set some up is to listen to all the accents out there in the world. Pick a couple of them to represent areas of the city. Have you ever been to...

Pretty cool! It does seem to index some current stuff and some old stuff.

I think the point would be better made if the "cleans up the mess afterward" part were not included. Yes, I think it's a good comparison to a dinner party. (My players help pick up afterward, by the way.) Comparisons are just comparisons though. Some dinner parties the people never leave the...

Now wait, if folks are welcoming new members (board handles only, no last names right?), does that make this a d12-Step Program?

This sounds pretty cool.

I think this really bears more thinking about for the future. If a cutoff is not really a cutoff, would someone making a 10 or 20 day mistake be allowed in? I have no problem with the staff's decision, however I can see how this looks to some gamers like it's no big deal, to others that it's an...

How is this, and Psion's original quote, not rude? It's cracks like this that give ENWorld the split personality rep that it has.

When are the meetings? I've been a gamer since 1981. :D

In public, yes, sorry to disappoint. I'm just not that angry anymore nor do I think there's much class in dissing a convention that will probably have new management next year anyway.

Word of mouth. Posts here at ENWorld. Speaking of which, the ENWorld GameDays are a fine form of mini-convention. (I myself am searching for a new convention to go to in March/April due to an unfortunate experience with one.)

Cogently put. As long as the walls are your own.

Me too, since all of that material together would contradict itself internally on a regular basis.

Wait. He referenced a lot of other valid points. I recognize the attack method - pick out one thing that's arguably wrong (or at least harder to defend) and go after it - but I think the rest of the research is important and relevant.

Yes. However, how objective are they? Have you ever been denied a promotion and seen a superior's favorite employee get a raise, an office and have nothing to do? Then while you're killing yourself for results, said favorite botches things that would get you on warning or fired and there are no...

Open Design and patronage are discussed here.

If Ed Greenwood were still writing Pages from the Mages and his other columns for Dragon Magazine - the paper version - and the Forgotten Realms was still a wide-open, mysterious and barely detailed place (i.e. the first boxed set or earlier), then I think I'd still love it. Guess that means I'm...

98 pages, softcover, including one page of ads for upcoming Pathfinder books and half a page for the OGL. This is Part I of a six-month adventure path set in the new world of Golarion. It's extraordinarily well done. The village is very detailed. The area is cool. The major villain is sad, has...

IMO, this is due to some budgetary reason that is then translated into revenge upon anyone in the position of decision-making power wishes to exact upon anyone they can effect. The people that management like? They get to stay. (How they are "liked" can be reasons both good and bad.)

Hey, I had a d20 shaped world back in 1985! That makes me beyond cool. ;) So, we're playing in this ancient Role Aids module called the Assassin's something or other thingy. (Except it wasn't ancient since this is 1985.) We find out that the bad guys are doing something in a building. We go try...
