Yes, yes, yes. I never need more dice, but oooh! look! new dice! Want! Plus, there is always that distant hope that new dice will somehow be luckier than old dice.

You, sir, win teh Internets. Ee-Rick No'ah, small god of obsessive information gathering.

*sidestep* Missed!

I played this for the first time last month and really enjoyed it. What I like most that hasn't been mentioned is the tension of the game. I've watched or been around several games and in each and every one the Humans have been staring at the board saying "we're screwed, we're screwed, we're...

Carcassone is a game I've played a number of times and it's an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master game IMO. The mechanics are really simple, but the strategy involved in sorting out the scoring and how to get the most points can get really nasty and intricate. I enjoy it a lot, and the various...

I've played a couple of games recently with my brother and his kids, and something is really bugging me about the game. It's too random. In both games, I've marched around the board, tried to fight things, tried to visit places I can get powered up, and so on, and both times I've come...

Me, my brother and a friend are all planning on being there. There's another group of people I know who are also likely to be around. I'll try and say hi if I see you!

No wishing to cast aspersions on your cousin, but WTF?

Thanks for the in-play review, there is some interesting information there. Sounds like a fun game to me, and I'd be happy to give it a shot. Personally, I couldn't care less whether a particular game is "board-gamey" or not, I'll take it on it's own merits.

News update from me: Mediation looks like a good move now I've received the information from the mediator. I'll make a booking with them depending on when I can get time off. In happier news, the 4e campaign with my Druid is going particularly well. Next week we're going to be taking advantage...

What they said!

Fantastic set of updates, Jester, really enjoying them! Next year I'm planning on coming to Gencon Indy, if you're going and running something I really want to reserve a space at your table. I've been reading your stuff for years now and always enjoyed it.

Quoted from the film: "Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn everything about them in an afternoon and yet, a hundred years later, they can still surprise you." In answer to the original question, I like campaigns where it's made clear that there isn't anyone else to do what...

I am keeping all the emails. At the moment I don't have an attorney, because they're expensive and I'm poor. :)

I play a lot of D&d, but occasionally I branch out with some other RPG friends and play some other stuff. The thing that always gets me about these games isn't "Kill things and take their stuff" but "Don't split the party!". Other RPGs positively encourage individual players to go off and do...

This is how everyone else I know (except her) is seeing the situation. Which means I'm getting some nasty emails from her about coming to mediation and so on, and I'm responding and saying "You know what, actually? No. I'm not paying this, now I understand where I am, legally, and you can go...

Hah, actually it's more likely to be the other way around, as she earns far more money than I do. No, the issue is over how she helped me out by supporting me whilst I cleared my debts. Now that I've cleared them and we've split up, she's demanding the money she spent supporting me back in one...

I can't follow everything you're talking about, but I can confirm that the Horned Helm stacks with Howling Charge - absolutely no reason why it shouldn't.

So today I emailed my wife about our separation and the financial settlement. Which was not fun. In short, she says I owe her a large sum of money and the solicitor I spoke to disagrees. It's going to be a nasty fight, unfortunately, and it's going to make the rest of the year pretty...

I'd like to add another note to this one: Be prepared with your characters powers. Note down the attack bonus and damage for every attack (including what happens if you crit). Then, when it comes to your attack, roll attack and damage together and announce it together, e.g. "I hit Reflex 24 for...
