If I took a spear in my junk I think I'd remember it correctly. But not necessarily fondly. But come to think of it, I might not wanna remember it at all. So I take that back. But otherwise I'm with WB and Doug. Start with no system, and then if ya need to, invent your own.

I think you can do both. Be exceptional in your field and yet also well rounded and well educated. But what do I know? I think though there's much truth in your observations.

I don't know about published settings but in my setting a wide variety of evil creatures and Beings can possibly possess others under the right conditions, even by force. And a wide variety of good creatures and Beings (Angels, Ki-Rin, etc) can also possess others if the one to be possessed...

Sad Dan, but I've long noticed the same myself. However if it makes ya feel any better I think, from my observations, there is a group in the middle, between drop-outs, and the supposedly highly educated, who do still read a lot. (And I can't imagine being truly educated without reading, you...

Made me laugh. Out loud. I'll tell ya something else that tickles me. My kids say stuff to me all of the time like, "Hey dad, some random guy is on the phone to talk to you." I say, "that's not the definition of random." To which they say, "didn't you guys say 'random stuff' when you were a...

After sketching out my ideas I've decided this will actually be a set of 3 adventures. If players survive the first one they move on progressively. The first will be the Wreaking Crypt. The second will be The Dwarves, the Giants, and the Folly Men. And the last will be called Wreaking Havoc...

Alright, and I'm not taking it as you being a jerk, but what is the normal font here? Or the one most people prefer. I'll try and remember to change my posts to that font. The reason I always use Dark Courier is that I'm a writer and inventor and almost every program I use is set to...

For a long time I've wanted to create a Dungeon which is basically equivalent in value to the Tomb of Horrors (my favorite commercially produced dungeon adventure/module). I think I may now have had an idea that could work out that way. It involves what appears to be an old hill that...

I've played in a couple and written 2 Parallel Reality Games. (Working on a Third as part of the Dark Corner series of 3 PRGs I wrote.) Depending on the subject matter (of the ARG) I really, really like them, or won't play them. Also I often work "Historical Geocaching" into my ARGs and PRGs...

Oh, and Atari. If your child is part Japanese, or 3/4 Pokemon. And don't forget Boomer or Tigh if your child is gonna be born part-Cylon but you're not really gonna tell em until after the Apocalypse.

Moonbeam Zappa (insert surname here) - from a drunken hippie encounter that also involved hallucinogens and kaleidoscopes Van Diesel Dweezel - from the marriage of 2 powerful pop culture ico... ah, forget it. However both were spawned by Tron. That's gotta count for something, right? Tron -...

To me character based drama and setting exploration are not mutually exclusive (not saying you said they were, but I'm using your comment to build upon) at all, but to me the very best setting are one's in which the setting exploration is a mirror image, or a correlation to the character...

Dwarves. Given the sheer industry, weirdness, introversion, and potential power of this race I've never felt like I've done them justice. Though I'm making an attempt right now. Through the use of underground cities with unique architecture that the Dwarves designed because they were forced...

I can tell ya several things that would be very valuable in the real world and possibly a fantasy one in lieu of coin. To reiterate some of what the others said and to add a few. Animals, land, tools, certain professions and their labor (blacksmiths), certain goods (paper), valuable but...

Where I come from we say that's because, "she's the woman." :) I use technology too for work, but away from work I don't want it around me. I carry a cell phone, in case I have to make an emergency call, otherwise it's in my backpack, not on my person or even on. I carry a compass and a map...

I'm with El Mahdi. In constructing a game both elements are crucial and interdependent. But in playing a game, either as DM or player, setting makes the game interesting to me. Or not. But a good mechanic where the DM can construct his own highly individualized setting/milieu/world is even...

I've been thinking lately of using more folk-legends and fairy tales as well in my monster use. Especially after having been reading the Last Apprentice series and how the author uses witches and Spooks in a very brilliant way I think. I completely concur. I'm with ya there. I use...

That's mainly what I mean. Take an actor for example, if he's in role for most of the work day for weeks and months at a time it's fairly easy to "assume" a new behavioral role to overlay his own natural one, because he's doing it professionally and intensely and consistently. But if you're...

If you're asking me I'm not lamenting anything in particular, I'm making an observation about how technology may be changing reading habits based on the type of technology that's being used to read off of. But let me ask you a question out of curiosity. You're 43 (younger than me) and I don't...

I just visited Dragonsfoot and liked what I saw. And found the Knights-n-Knaves Alehouse (I guess that's what is being described). Never heard of them before so thanks for mentioning them.
