Oh, my. Is that Reaper gnoll what I have here? I bought it at Noble Knight in Madison and I have no idea what it is.

Not all heroes wear capes.

If these discussions have offended, Think but this, and all is mended – That you have but slumbered here While these opinions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gamers, do not reprehend. If your pardon, I must amend. Else the MGibster a liar call. Give me...

I was going to mention The Canterbury Tales as well. Inns and taverns have been blurred together in the minds of a lot of people, but the two were originally quite different with one offering lodging and the other just drinks and maybe some food. The inn was a public space where people from...

GURPS books were always good about giving you ideas for how to use the universal nature of the game to your advantage. Take GURPS Rome for example. It had information for running campaigns during different periods of Roman history, but it also had ideas for how to run an alternate history...

And I think at this point there's nothing left to say. I'm not likely to change my position on this and I don't think you are either. That's okay. Sometimes communication doesn't result in changing anyone's mind. But I don't have anything more to say about this, so I'm just going to drop...

<shines intense light> What I'm hearing is you're some sort of crime prince and you've altered your prints to facilitate criminal activities. <shines intense light>

I feel as though that's a different question. Sure. One of the biggest problems with online discourse is it's easy to forget you're communicating with other human beings. We can't read one another's body language, put any inflection onto the words we write, and sometimes people read something...

I don't remember writing anything saying anyone who gets upset at online discourse needs to work through some issues. Here's what I actually wrote: Do you see how my sentence is narrowly tailored compared to yours?

Finally! WotC is doing something about the relatively anemic power level of PCs!

I honestly don't believe my expectations are unreasonable because they're the norm (in my opinion). When someone tells me Starship Troopers is a terrible movie or the lunch special at the grill is horrible they generally don't don't feel the need to make it clear they're giving me an opinion...

I might be the odd man out here, but I remember in 4th or 5th grade completing quizzes where I had to determine whether a statement was a fact or opinion. Discerning a statement of fact from opinion is something I expect the listener to automatically do. If someone tells me GURPS is the...

Whereas I don’t understand why anyone would need for someone to state their opinion is in fact an opinion.

This is a phoenix produced in plastic from Archon Studios' Dungeons & Lasers line retailing for about $35. As you can see, we're long past the days when plastic means softer details.* At roughly 5 inches in height and about 8.5 inches across, this miniature would be very difficult to manage if...

For any game I play, I prefer having a character who can talk to other people. I don't care if my character is some sort of warrior, a scholar, or a farmer, I want him to be able to interact verbally with NPCs. The reason for this is because it's what I consider to be the best, most unique...

I kind of think golden ages of past civilizations with magical wonders are the default for most D&D settings. It's where all those magical artifacts and dungeons come from.

You have a rate because the con represents a steady, reliable source of income and you don't want to kill the golden goose. If hotels or other accommodations are lacking, the con may very well decide to move elsewhere in the future either because their needs aren't being met.

Steampunk is considered a sub-genre of science fiction by most people. Space fantasy is of course a blend of science fiction and fantasy. But then people have been arguing about what science fiction is for more than a century now. I'll be dead in the cold, cold ground before I accept any...
