Assisted Living

We have a dress code. For everyone it's no jeans. For the men, the food service staff and the maintenance staff it's also a collared shirt. For resident care staff it's scrubs. For the women not in resident care, food services or maintenance it's business casual - which apparently means whatever...

Having followed along thus far I had to comment. In reply to OP. In my experience they can either improve the gaming experience or detract from it - much like numerous other things - depending on the players & DM. If the players & DM trust each other, it can improve play, if they don't it may...

They could just have a number and a classification (like aircraft) - however, It's tradition - something to do with superstition and that it protected the sailors from harm. Then why not earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis, wild fires or other disastrous natural events? Sounds good - but if I'm...

Why do people name ships? or hurricanes? or monster trucks?

All my cars are named Jennifer.

Give me the cold any day of the week. I haven't worn more than a flannel shirt as a winter coat since I moved from Michigan's upper peninsula to it's lower peninsula 25 years ago. I used to wear shorts year round when my job allowed it. Cold just doesn't bother me - I'm one of those people that...

Like I said - it's cool your group had fun. I would have thought the ensuing fight or flight would be quite fun. Plus, given how easily this could be used to kill a PC or any future foe disallowing it preserves future fun.

It's cool that your group had a good time, however a Wall of Force isn't anchored to anything, but it is immovable - all the dragon had to do was back up.

Captain America (but not the Ultimate Line Cap)

I don't think your preferred method of running a game is that far out - it's how I've always run my games and how the games I play in are run.

You are correct, however, there's a difference between playing the NPCs/World to challenge the players and changing things on the fly to screw over the players. Manbearcat's post seemed (IMO) to suggest that the latter was standard. If the GM is going to screw over the players it doesn't matter...

I'm an old gamer - it's not a tactic I've seen used except in adversarial play - usually because the players don't trust the GM - and they usually don't trust him cause he's an ass or they've been burned before. I must be lucky to not have seen this much - I've trusted my GMs not to change...

In no way would I consider this "standard" exploratory play. This is adversarial play with a lack of trust on the part of the player (possibly understandable if the GM is an ass, or not).

I make fun of it in a manner that pays homage to Chuchy the Turtle from the Pogo comic strips.

Just curious, did your group just wave the alignment restrictions on your Rgr/Dr/Mu? My personal favorites were Luthor, Half-elf Druid/Thief (actually the first character I remember playing, didn't know the multiclassing rules and the DM let me run him) Abraxas, Human Paladin (first time I...

Voted Greyhawk, although not my favorite, it is hands down the preferable option of the 2 remaining choices. I've always disliked Planescape's art and the fans around my neck of the woods are ... annoying at best.
