    Dilemna: Should I Quit RPGs?

    Kaodi, It sounds like you are at where I was a few years ago. I have a thing called "lower latent inhibitions", which is a fancy term for I have a hard time not focusing on the little details of everything and getting lost in them. Like you I enjoyed being part of the gaming community but...

    [Thurs 2pm-6pm] Return of the Winter Witch

    I also may have a friend along, just not sure if he will be down thursday or friday. I'll bring him along just in case there is a space, but I wouldn't put him on the roster. Where is the game being held? and do I need generic tickets or anything? (2nd gencon, but didn't game last year, just...

    Palladium books?

    Rifts is the only game where I feel the fluff was worth the price of the book alone. Juicers... that is all I have to say

    Mike Mearls, I am calling you out! (Legends & Lore 6/28)

    Did you ever see that movie Trust with Ryan Phillipe? Maybe you are just paranoid enough...

    How do you get your players to creatively describe their combat actions?

    You just made going to a party sound like playing a game of Sims. Not that your wrong, I can't tell you how many times during college I would have to tell my friends if they want girls to stick around a party then TURN OFF THE DAMN VIDEO GAMES!

    GAME OF THRONES #10:Fire and Blood ACT 10 Chapter 1-2011--Season Ending

    I was surprised about that as well, but considering that the nudity thing is a big draw for the show's ratings it made sense... bald chicks just are not as hot, ask brittany spears.

    GAME OF THRONES #10:Fire and Blood ACT 10 Chapter 1-2011--Season Ending

    Only because it isn't of Dany naked with three baby dragons clutching to her.

    Why is D&D for sale?

    I'm not saying that's true, but if it is it might not mean anything. A lot of large corporations will put subsidiaries up for sale for long periods of time, hoping someone makes them a good offer. For these large corporations money is really the only important factor in decision making, so...

    Putting Hit Points back into Mutants and Masterminds

    I played M&M several times a few years ago and fell in love with it... until I played it. The game and rules are great, but I found combat to be broken. It seemed like combat resulted in several combatants getting stunned and then staying stunned until down. We didn't like it, so we tinkered...

    This is a stupid question...

    That explains it, I give up xp, but not I'm not a slut about it, so I guess that never came up for me. Thanks

    This is a stupid question...

    ... but what is "spreading around xp" and why does it matter? People mention this all the time and I have no idea what they are talking about.

    The Crypt Thing - ever used/experienced one?

    I have used said monster since I didn't start until 2e, but I think there could be a good use for such a thing. I agree it could result in mostly frustration, but if done right it could be cool. My idea would be to make a small dungeon, maybe with a few large rooms and lots of interconnected...

    Healthy snacks & drinks for gaming?

    I've got Crohn's, so I can't really have sugar. However, I've found that my wife's sugary cereal, without milk, works fine for me. It satisfies my sugar craving, but still has nutrients, and the calories aren't that bad. It also makes for a decent chaser in a pinch if your doing shots. Or...

    How to influence a group's rules usage without alienating them?

    Just lie, it will be the easiest thing. The important thing here is the game, and your proclivities won't mess up their game if you lie A LITTLE. Tell them you had a bunch of books (preferably list off the ones that have the materials you will need to build the character you want), but...

    GAME OF THRONES #5:-The Wolf and the Lion ACT 5 Chapter 1-2011

    Who's side is Varies on? It's been a few years since I read the books so I can't remember how a lot of things played out. In the scene with the (boss as hell) dragon skull, varies is discussing with illyrio (i think that is his name, Dany's pimp) how khal drogo will be coming over to kill...

    RPGfreelancer.com: Is this still a thing?

    I need to start looking for art work for the book I'm working on, and I may need an editor, so when I found your site it looked great... but then I saw that you can't contact people outside of your forums or it voids the contract. I can't imagine asking someone to edit a book for my new RPG...

    Happy Birthday Piratecat!

    Happy Birthday dude, if I play in one of your games at GenCon I will buy you a beer to make up for the one Morrus drank.

    [Thur 2pm-6pm] GenCon Noobies Game

    I would love to be involved in one of these. Last year was my first GenCon, but I didn't know what I was doing and the people I was with were mainly there for anime girls so I didn't get to game at all except to demo pathfinder. I want this year to be different. Let me know what to do and I...

    How to deliver clues to the PCs?

    These are the kinds of campaigns I run, and what I have learned is this: do not worry about the clues, instead, get a feel for the situation. Define this group of assassins, their basic locations, their motivations, a little of their hierarchy, and most importantly their feel. Treat them like...
