    My understanding is that this is also the advice of the author.

    Is it against copyright laws to echange an opened DVD

    Store managers can bypass a lot of company policies. If you take the disc back to the store and tell them it's defective, they might offer you a replacement disc. If, however, you tell them you've tried two replacement discs already, you're fed up with the game, and a replacement disc won't do...

    False dichotomies and other fallacies RPGers use

    I wonder how many people are like me and learned this from West Wing.

    Keeping track of combat length (for posterity)

    Here's my data, so far. I plan to keep that thing updated periodically.

    DnD Encounters

    Assuming you're correct on what you fought, that's a little tougher than written. He might've scaled it for a party of 6, but it's also designed for an average party level of 2. And, I'm guessing that due to the number of deaths, you don't have an average party level of 2. Still, I wouldn't...

    Giant beaver dam is visible from space

    Found it on Google Maps! Google Maps Impressive looking thing. Edit: does this still work? It's the green arrow. And you probably want to click "Sat" for satellite view. 58.271176,-112.252357

    DnD Encounters

    I started off playing, and am now GMing. It sounds to me like your GM isn't doing a great job of scaling the encounters. The rule of thumb is that the game should be made fun for the players. If your group likes tough encounters, then great! I don't think your experience is typical, though...

    What Are You Watching?

    Top Chef: Masters. I like cooking shows like that.

    Nonstandard Coins?

    So... money grows on trees in your campaign? Can I play a farmer? ;)

    What's Your Relationship With Your Fellow Gamers?

    For me: In college is was mostly close, since then it's mostly sociable, but close is making a comeback. So, I'm not sure how to vote.

    Virtual D&D and the Hearing Impaired.

    In theory, you could use a TDD/TTY service (at least, they used to be free in Texas), but that might be an abuse of the service.

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    Yeah, probably. Just not immediately after playing with those two annoying guys. I've had a player write a short story based on his character as his backstory. That was pretty cool.

    From the ashes will rise a new Hivemind.

    This is my experience, too. I think the party meshes with itself better, too, when they can do this together.

    Virtual D&D and the Hearing Impaired.

    I just wanted to point out that this might be a cultural difference. In the United States, hearing-impaired people are very likely to refer to themselves as deaf, and hearing-impaired people are often a part of "deaf culture" in the United States. It's often on a spectrum, anyways--my brother...

    Marathon Sessions

    I ran a 7 hour session not long ago, and I thought that was very long! We all had a blast, but were exhausted.

    Virtual D&D and the Hearing Impaired.

    Yeah, I would guess that too. However, there are video-phone options (that deaf people can get for free in many states) to alleviate this problem. I don't know about its compatibility with Skype and online video conferencing solutions.

    Routine Site downtime?

    Same here! Afterwards, I noticed very few people were on the site.
