He is indeed. Don't fret if you missed this year--next year, Tracy Hickman might come down too! Every year is bigger and better.

Can I just mention that Comicpalooza was awesome? SRM, Chris Simms, Chris Perkins, and Ari Marmell are stand-up gentlemen. Can't wait until it'll be big enough to be considered the GenCon of the South.

I also had the players swim out there, and then swim back when Indomitability made his way towards the town. We traded a few good whacks before he ran, though. That was probably one of the top three encounters of the adventure. It wasn't that bad a swim, especially considering you're likely to...

I'd recommend holding tight--my party had some trouble with some of the early encounters, but about 1/4 of the way through the second adventure, they started hitting their stride. Everything started to look like a pushover.

Hey, 9/9! I guessed right on the airship. ;) I've run the first two adventures, and have just started the third.

Weekends have two advantages: The ability to start playing earlier, and the ability to wake up late the next day. If I played after work on a weekday, I'd have to start my game at around 7pm and kick everyone out at around 10pm. That's not a lot of game! What times do you start/end your (you...

Reading through the replies, I'm kind of shocked how many people play during weekdays. I don't know how you do it!

Voted 1/week, but it's really closer to 1.5/week. I run weekly D&D Encounters and I run a ever-other-weekend home WotBS 4e game. If you would've asked me about a year ago it would be 0/week. Such is life, eh? Thank you D&D Encounters! What made my home game come together, though, was the...

I think 4e is pretty easy with a group of that size (I've done 7-8 people before), but I'm guessing if you play Pathfinder, you probably don't want to play 4e. Also, I've done World Tree RPG with 7, and even as much as... I think 10 or 12? Based on experience, I think 4e is more amenable to...

... So how do I get my 34% discount now?

I'll probably end up making and printing a few characters at a few different levels to last me 6-9 months, and end up paying for another month when I run out of characters or I need to make a major update of a character. Tweaking a character's magic items is pretty easy, and I'm sure I can work...

I think the problem is in terminology. A game is something you can easily leave behind, a hobby is a longer investment. I think that's how you should approach it and sell it--"hobby," not "game."

The advantage of e-readers, in my opinion, is the screen--it's a lot easier to look at for an extended period of time. But, I probably wouldn't get a Kindle--there are a number of good off-brand options that support more file types. Battery life = infinity is a nice perk, too.

I'm another GM for D&D Encounters. I encourage new players to the game, and periodically seek out new players. Back in the day, I helped organize a gaming club at my university. I think it's good to do similar sorts of things for any hobby you like.

Hey, congrats! I remember the days when I had a post rate higher than Crothians, and was later one of a few with such a rate. How schedules change!

Yeah, in my opinion: not worth the money.

I get the kid is really in over his head--he may be a genius, but he's still acts as irrationally as kids do.

So far, I'm enjoying the show. It's interesting to see the extent of the son's powers, so far.

I think I've been good about making a habit to record the stats for my games, but I haven't had time to put everything up!

I thought we were all figments of everyone else's imaginations. We're all each other's alts.
