I would. And if they are smart, and I trust my players to be smart and I think you probably should too, next time they'll be prepared. Rechan, I think there is a difference here between what is possible, and what a villain will actually risk. For instance once an assassin did poison and slit the...

I don't know Havrik, maybe I just come from a different generation but I never once gave a crap about everyone's enjoyment. And I never fought the bad guy/enemy/opponent based upon what I thought the players wanted, but based upon how I thought the bad guy/enemy/opponent would really react...

By the way these are some of the general topics or categories I've already considered in developing such a Game: Actual Work Methods and Procedures Business Career Charity and Philanthropy Employees Expertise/Education/Degrees/Certifications Growth and...

I suspect this will be the best forum for this thread. But if this thread needs to be moved to the Media and Miscellaneous forum I completely understand. It's a toss-up to me. Recently I've been receiving a lot of business coaching. Much of which has been excellent. One of the...

I went to see Conan today and can say I really liked the preview they showed for John Carter (of Mars). And the last few minutes of the Rise of the Planet of the Apes when I went to get my wife from her film.

Like Janx I work out of my home. My three home offices (well, one is a converted garage) are filled with materials from my previous employments, some of which were adventurous (in a real life sense), and with mementos of my Vads, archaeological expeditions, and other explorations. I also keep...

My wife and children love that show. So I record it and Eureka and we watch them on the weekends. I like the way those shows overlap on occasion. It reminds me of the way some of the old network shows overlapped in the past.

Halivar all of my (party) characters have well developed backgrounds which occasionally they explore by back-story adventures. As you suggested. However I agree with the points made by most everyone else. The reasons I agree are these. Prologues are of little value (except in writing)...

When I was younger I did this (made notes, drawing, sketches, changes, and so forth) with a lot of my old D&D and other gaming materials (Gamma World, etc). I did it in rulebooks, dungeon or gaming modules, stuff I wrote, etc. I gave away or burned all of my old gaming stuff when I got into...

Me likey. I think it would make a great D&D/fantasy (or even sci-fi or pulp/horror) type monster. Lose the wings, make it basically man-sized, with six motile limbs and a pair of appendages that vibrated extremely rapidly, (too fast for normal observation) that could both whip and stun, it...

Good Lord that sounds fantastic. I've been working on a Batman script involving explosive vests. I also like the way they've changed the case names, the emphasis on the cases, and the manner of modernizing the crimes. (By the way I've often preferred Mycroft to Sherlock.) Now that I know it...

What new Sherlock Holmes show? You're not the first to mention this to me but I can't find it. I looked up Sherlock Holmes up on Direct TV but couldn't find a listing for any new show, just the movie. If ya don't mind, what is it called, and where and when does it appear. I'll definitely record...

It has changed much over a long period of time. But nowadays it is a Ranger/Thief. Actually he is a former Thief who became a Ranger. Why: because in nature he is much like me, so he is easy to role play. I understand him. But mainly because the Ranger is a frontiersman who knows frontier...

When I was DMing as a kid, and for some reasons I still don't understand, most of the players decided they would change around their marching order when they entered an underground dungeon. I had encouraged them months before to develop a marching order and a series of commands they could...

I'm like you. I read through a lot of different mediums. Books, audio books, electronic formats, CDs, lectures, etc. The Oriental Casefiles sounds interesting. I'll look that up. What do you think of Jack McDevitt? Sometimes I think he's quite good and at other times he's quite bland to me...

Much, if not all, of the recent business coaching I've been getting has worked out superbly. Over the past week my wife and I have secured a new contract for a Project for a company that does international interpretations and translations (I'm writing the training manual and materials...

Clever. but I couldn't give ya XP for it, as it said I've already done that too much. Otherwise I would have.

Thank everyone for their advice. Haven't had much time to respond lately because of business matters. I do plan on staying on the grounds (at one of the on-park resorts, but don't know which one yet because I've stayed at some in the past and want to try a different type of resort), do...

I've always let the players decide. The survivors have always done the following: 1. Use relatives of the original party to stock the next round of characters, if any of the relatives or descendents (brothers, children, cousins) are of age. This the most common method. 2. Recruit from known...

I'm gonna say something that might seem odd, but I believe it to be true all the same. One reason I think D&D was so popular, aside from being first to market, with the sub-set of the population it was (and still is) so popular with, is because it was so complex. the younger generations...
