The lady is reluctant to post anything because everyone will shred its content, grouse unendlingly when the deadline isn't met, and then go screaming that "WOTC sucks! They don't listen" when her hands are tied.

I play in one game at a friend's house. His daughter comes by to visit as we settle in and get started. Then she goes away to bed. She's pretty well behaved for a five year old. Once the game gets going, there are often these long (admittedly funny much of the time) digressions away from the...

Excellent tips and advice here! Thanks for putting this together. A few observations. There are different issues with babies, small children, and tweens. (The 14+ teenager is rarely an issue for interruptions. Their particular brand of mayhem happens well outside gaming for the most part.)...

Very nice work! How is the modeling clay now that you've had this setup for a while? The Crayola brand I've applied to terrain, only to find that it dried out and cracked. (This happened to work very well for the particular piece in question, but it's still a concern.) I particularly like...

I once was DMing a Justice Inc game. The egyptologist...passed away to a trap. The party then found some hieroglyphs they couldn't translate. Being the obliging GM, I had the NPC egyptologist pipe up with the meaning. Four players looked at me and said "The Egyptologist is dead, Bill!" Those...

Well said, Buttercup! Yes, here's to Dancy and Adkison. (I also note that Clark Peterson helped draft the original OGL. Thanks for that sir.)

Exalted's method is cool. Plus the ability to gain extra dice due to a good idea or description? Classic. I recently modified the Action Points/Hero Points/Kicker in action at the Boston GameDay (after many years of using the Arcana Unearthed method, which is closest to #3). Every player...

I think we have hit the core of the problem. Time to stop the mole machine! Did I read correctly that the husband and the roommate voted against this woman's participation? Well, she can't get mad at her husband (in public) and probably has this as an unresolved issue with your roommate.

Why does this smack of "applying corporate leverage"? Almost as if some deal has to go down relative to Gen Con and the public excuse cloaks what will never appear in written (i.e. legally discoverable) electronic format. EDIT: We can however use the length of delay relative to the review of...

We just went through this with an epic battle that killed half our group. Players who wanted to try out something new didn't want to return as the same character and suck up the level loss. I can't quite understand it. I mean, I can, but I can't. The closest thing I can liken it to is that...

A patron of the current project. So what you're buying is the current adventure, a Nic Logue horror special, plus the option to buy into Six Arabian Nights. That book contains six adventures for levels 5-10. Of the lot, two take place in a city in the desert, and four take place in a desert...

Yes, thanks for everything! Judges Guild, one of the greats of the ages, and Bob Bledsaw was there. He passes on in good company. My condolences to his family.

I disagree with the premise that ranking systems are meritless. That said, I think that one of the most important issues with respect to gaming in the long-term is Compatibility of Style. Ranking does not help you rate style or find games where you fit in. That tends to be rather self-selecting...

Wolfgang raised $5000? Correct. Wolfgang, Necromancer and others spent the $5000 to get the license? Incorrect. He's said that the money raised from Open Design patrons will return to the patrons if he doesn't purchase the license. Nobody has purchased the license because it's not available...

This sounds like a healthy dose of the Insecurity Flu mixed with Jealousy. There's something else going on here that's deeper than an RPG or a specific setting....

The former sounds interesting, if there are checks and balances including the ability for both to post comments. Unlike eBay, where there's a pretty straightforward transaction going on, a D&D session is involved. The latter? Cool. What's that going to entail? Who's going to be teaching? And is...

What accomodations did they have? An Iron DM event certainly sounds interesting.

Your site was a credit to you and gamers everywhere! Good luck with the chemo.

However, it's still available as a license. It's not the license applicable to the current ruleset.

No, but I hope your post succeeds! (I've been into olives of all variety for my martinis for a while now. Large and buttery olives sound wonderful.)
