    New players: your recruiting standards

    @Jd Smith1 , I see that you're in Texas. I'm in San Antonio which has a huge number of Veterans so my groups tend to have a fairly high percentage plus a lot of Health Care Professionals (as I administer Anesthesia). Damn, do we have a macabre sense of humor! Language can be quite blue.

    New players: your recruiting standards

    Recruitment Standards: Don’t be a jerk. This covers a plethora of things: be on time, no pvp, team player, etc. Be prepared for some silliness. We do NOT take RPGs seriously. Be prepared for PG13 language. I cuss. F-bombs will drop. I don't try to rein it in. Deal with it. If F2F, don’t smell...

    D&D General How long do new players get before they're expected to know the rules?

    😄 (<--but in a nice way!). I tend to allow just about any old sadsack to play as long as they keep us entertained and don't take us over the 5 players + 1 DM max. I guess I let the plebs play! 🧐 Ha! Oh, most definitely. My sense of humor can make me a difficult player for some DMs. Well, at...

    'Origin' of Your User Name

    Mine is based on a Twilight 2000 doctor/medic character I had that we played using the GURPS system. One of his disadvantages was Clueless. He was super fun to play.

    D&D General How long do new players get before they're expected to know the rules?

    Yeah. Giving it some thought, this is pretty much where I fall. I just have a fairly long time frame for that to happen, I guess.

    D&D General How long do new players get before they're expected to know the rules?

    Correct. I've made it pretty easy for someone to sit down and just play whether they know the rules at all. As long as they can play pretend, they'll do great. If it's via Fantasy Grounds: it's more learning to use the program than the rules since so much is automated. I'll get things like: "I...

    D&D General How long do new players get before they're expected to know the rules?

    I never expect the players to learn the rules. It's nice when they do, but... meh. They tell me what they want to do. I tell them what to roll. What's FAR more important to me is: Are they fun to be around?

    D&D 5E (2014) Understanding the differences between Eberron villains

    Looks like I'll be listening to the Manifest Zone when I drive to work and back.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron versus Multiverse

    Hey, everybody. Remember that Yaarel is no longer allowed to respond to this thread. So we shouldn't send anymore comments his way.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron versus Multiverse

    To be honest, this thread has done more to make me wanna read ERftLF than several others. I didn't realize just how deep and subtly nuanced Eberron's Religions were. Very interesting. Thanks everyone (yes, including Yaarel)! Especially thanks to @Hellcow for the insight into it all!!

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron versus Multiverse

    I'm intrigued! I really gotta read more when I'm not on Call.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron versus Multiverse

    Which in no way implies or says that the gods of FR are not gods. Just that Eberronites wouldn't see them as such. You just spent several pages whining about how Eberron's Gods were not gods and didn't exist. And now you're... Eberron's Gods are the One (several) True Gods!! Hallelujah...

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron versus Multiverse

    But the creator of Eberron just told you that nothing has really changed. :confused: Yeah, what does he know? Probably hasn't even read any of the campaign guides before. :LOL:

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron versus Multiverse

    Oh, the classic: "I have a friend who is [fill in the blank], so I'm not being a jerk" defense. Yeah... no. Wait. Just a day ago, Eberron was destroyed.

    D&D 5E (2014) Eberron versus Multiverse

    Yeah. No. For someone who bitched and whined that the Forgotten Realms had gotten into their Eberron, you sure have no problem going the other direction. I'd prefer to keep my Greyhawk still Greyhawk. And the cool Eberron still Eberron. Keep your real world faith issues outta my game of make...
