    Weak Plothooks

    IMO, if this translates to ignore the hook for your own ego, worst idea ever. After all, there are other peole at the game that are probably ready to get things rolling. Grab the hook and run with it. The game is about having fun with the people around you, not creating the perfect fantasy...

    Gaming Bookshelves

    I had many books that I never used and few old games really hold nastagia for me so I sold them at auction. Now all of my books fit onto two shelves. And at $40 a book now a days, a book will really have to be something special to get added. I feel I have enough rules to dictate my gaming.

    It's hard being an adult gamer

    Don't schedule on weekends (sorry if this has been said). It is hard to free up a Friday or Saturday night every week. There are many different activities fighting for those days. Dating w/ wife or girl friend (or both), family and friends parties and social gatherings, projects around the...

    I knew I was spelling it wrong, but was too lazy to figure it out, thanks, :p

    Greatest American? (All Over on Page Eight)

    Lee is an interesting choice. On one hand he fought on the side of the Confederacy, which some would consider a very negative trait, yet if not for his strong sense of honor and belief in the reuniting of the country at the end of the war, the US Civil War would have ended very differently. If...

    Ep. III - Mon Mothma

    Seeing two babies in an ultra sound is easy. Hearing multiple heartbeats is easy. It is not that it would have been impossible, it was bad story telling. Having such a wierd occurance pulled many people out of the story. Having her believe there was only one child had no relevance to the...

    Why am I not getting 'Lost'?

    I assume it is just personal taste. I don't watch any program every week so Lost was never an option for me. My wife loves it and I catch an occasional episode, but it has never done anything for me.

    Greatest American? (All Over on Page Eight)

    I was going to vote for Lance Armstrong, I mean riding a bike is almost as important and impacting as fighting and creating modern day democracy, being an influential scientist or sacraficing everything for civil rights. For a sports icon, wouldn't Michael jordan have been a much stronger...

    Attacking Squirrels in DnD

    Squirrels can be dangerous rodents. I was backpacking at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and had moved my backpack to be next to me, like you are supposed to do and everyone else left theres a a hundred yards away or so. Well, we noticed some squirrels getting into there bags so we ran over...

    Maps of small towns

    OK I need some help (cause I am lazy) :) I am looking for 7 maps of small wealthy towns. I have a moderate sized city that a large percentage of its population goes to in the summer as a resort town. For the most part the only locals are those who serve the ultra rich. These other towns are...

    Harry Potter zit team

    They do it for TV shows, they do that and more for magazines and I am sure it happens on many movie projects. What you see is almost never what you get when watching movies and or tv. Really, how is this much different than hours in a makeup chair hiding all of your natural skin under layers...

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (merged)

    SW - 8/10 ESB - 8/10 RotS - 7/10 RotJ - 7/10 AotC - 3/10 PM - 2/10 - Darth Maul was worth 2 pts. What makes Phantom such a bad movie is the lost potential. I think focusing so much story (1/3) on a ten year old child was a big mistake and hurt the other two movies. More happened in the...

    Star Wars 2005 - Who would you cast?

    Add Christopher Walken as Vader and the rest of the cast would really not matter.

    Rank the Star Wars Movies (merged)

    Bingo, we have a winner. The only change I would make is to remove Phantom Menace from the list entirely, it was too aweful to consider. I mean the movie was watchable, but when you think of the how much more effective the whole trilogy could have been if we did not focus an entire movie (33%...

    How to cope with only 2 players

    That is the greatest thing about small groups. You get to run a more intimate game and can have politics and the like play large parts. Contacts with in cities, joining a guild, working for important people and the like are much easier. It would be tough to keep a 2 player version of the...
