Really? To start with alignment, our DM finally got tired of people not playing their alignments and did it on a percentage basis - we'd roleplay for a while, and he'd work out our alignments. We'd discover what we actually counted as when we tried to do an alignment-based action. For...

Variety I've noticed that people tend to play the characters that at least vaguely resemble their personalities, with a few exceptions. The most irritating one is always whenever one player in our group, who probably has an 8 Int in real life, plays uber-intelligent, or even quasi-intelligent...

Hm ... Me, I always say have as many subraces as you want. For a long while, the only rogue I'd ever play would be a tiefling. Eventually, I got tired of tieflings. For example, when playing a wizard, I wouldn't pick the race best suited for Int-based spellcasting. I discovered that some...

Roleplaying Au contraire. SXantharus is entirely correct - age has very little to do with gaming style. I'm 15, and I find that while hack-and-slahs is always interesting, it gets entirely all too boring after a while. On the other hand, I've been perfectly happy doing nothing but...

... dare I ask? I seem to be missing something.

Heheh My friends and I always get a kick out of reading online how D&D is obviously related to Satanism. We're not just playing imaginary characters in an imaginary world - we're also selling our souls! Hm ... although there was that one demonologist I played for a while ...

Heh Cute. It's always interesting seeing how the DM favors certain characters. For example, I'm the DM's girlfriend, so the other players were a bit suspicious when my rogue pickpocketed a Scroll of Wish off of some mage. On the other hand, you don't need connections to have an ubermunchkin...

Shuttle My view is, people who can't take a joke seriously need to lighten up. It's human nature to make jokes in a period of tension - think about it. Besides, these people knew what risk they were taking. Everything in risky these days - whenever you cross the street, you are accepting the...

Minis are annoying We get by without minis, and usually without a battlemat as well. I blame it on having very good memory and mental imagery. Oh, sure, it means that each of us has a slightly different vision of what the place looks like, but so far it's been compatible. In extreme cases...

Unfair? It seems as though your DM is a tad anal. All of the DMs I've ever had only care about "paying attention" if you're actively ignoring the group when your character is supposed to be in action. (Example: One member was reading the PHB spell list, and failed to notice that his character...

It's great! Actually, I met my boyfriend through our D&D group. If I hadn't started playing D&D, we never would have met. Although the interesting thing is, he DMed our group for over a year before the two of us got involved, or even got to be more than remote friends.

No, really? Just a few things. First, I did not actually threaten our friend Irony. It's more of an in-joke, to be honest. I'm 5'2 and weigh 95 lbs, and he's 6'4 and wieghs 230 lbs, and when I routinely piss him off, he often picks me up and turns me upside down. It's a rather unpleasant...

A wee bias Very good, Irony. You've proven that you can tell a story without putting in a single mistruth, yet slanting everything to your advantage. Offer whatever sympathy you want, but Irony here has been leaving a few things out. Such as, his plots don't necessarily make sense, his...
