    [Somewhat OT] Mention of D&D on VH1's "I Love the 80s"

    Don't get me started on Metallica. They were incredible in the 80s, but by the 90s, they had lost it. Might as well call them Muzallika now. So sad, the first song I heard by them was Disposable Heroes and I fell in love with thier music, going back to get the earlier albums. I thought In...

    Two Towers (spoilers and fun stuff): LotR as a bad D&D game!

    Hehe...I wonder what was going through Eowyn's mind when she sees Legolas give Aragorn his necklace back? "No wonder he doesn't like me, all this time I thought he was in love with a WOMAN!" :)

    The Rape of Morne [Final Update]

    Very very nice! Poor Eadric and Nahael! BTW, who do I have to beg to get a copy of the past versions of this story? I tried to find Lady Despina's Virtue 1 and 2 and Heretic of Wyre, but had no luck. I would really like to get a copy so my friends can read. I keep talking to them about this...

    Metagaming

    This is an email I sent to my group recently, I wanted to see if any of you had any comments on Metagaming in your games. Metagaming= Using out of player knowledge as character knowledge or to affect a character's actions. Sensitive subject to be sure. The reason I bring it up is that I've...

    Soliciting Advice & Stories pertaining to RttToEE

    I ran the Temple for Alejandro and his group. I had fun doing so, but in the end, I got insanely bored with the hackfest it bacame. The logic of the Temple of All-Consumption really breaks down after the players defeat one or two temples. I would suggest what Alejandro said above. It allows...

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    *puts away troll-food and carefully washes his hands* Thanks Limper and Silverthrone, you've just made me appreiciate my group and friends more. Unfortunately, you've also reinforced my thinking that the world probably wouldnt be too hurt if a few nukes went off. *going back to drooling over...

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    As to the guy that's a lump.... How is individual xp awards going to change the guy? Apparently he's catatonic to the game and wouldn't give a flying flip one way or the other about xp. Boot him or if its that bothersome, leave yourself. It really has nothing to do with individual rewards.

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    Sweet mother of god are you an elistist. Attitudes like this are the main reason Pen and Paper games are dying or stuck to a small niche. There's a lot of people out there that find these games interesting, but don't want the pressure of being forced to intensely roleplay in every session...

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    I agree...roleplaying should be awarded. I said that in my previous post. It should be a large award that is split evenly by the players, just like combat xp is. Individual awards are the ones that I have a problem with. Individual awards just have the tendency to lead to favoritism and...

    Gotta love pettiness and pointless nit-picks. :D

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    bah...you get my point though. Using thespianism (which I relate to Jon Lovitz in SNL) as an example was simply me being a smartbutt.

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    All the players that I've seen that want a system like this are like roosters in the farmyard. They strut and preen their roleplaying "skills" and want to be recognized for it. They care little for the other players' enjoyment of the game and refuse to see that sometimes people have different...

    What! Limper has a gripe?

    Bah! Individual awards breed resentment in players. You share killing xp, so you should share roleplaying xp. I do roleplaying for my enjoyment, not for competition with other players, the game is group-based anyway. The DM should look at the roleplaying from a group perspective and award...

    DragonCon - Who's going?
