Hope that woman ends up ok HSB; and actually learns a lesson. I've been on public buses where the driver was talking on a cell. The driver is always indignant when asked to hang up and actually concentrate on driving. Dude, if you *want* to win a Darwin award, fine, just don't endanger your...

It's hard to say what's *the* most important rule, but to what's already been said I would add: Keep things moving! If the GM loses focus, the game will choke and stall. RL policital discussion breaks out? Ask players to save it for later. Pizza arrives? Take a 10 minute break (time it!)...

Misplaced apostrophes are bad, but I'm annoyed by people who use *no punctuation at all*. They usually don't bother to capitalize words either, so their posts are just a jumble of run-on phrases, like a speed freak's stream of consciousness. :confused: Dood: did you ever hear of the...

Also, as Dumbledore said, he believed that for this vitally important task, Snape would make an effort to suppress his personal dislike of Potter; D. may have even hoped for a 'buddy movie' opportunity for respect and bonding. As it turned out, neither of them was really making a good effort...

Yeah, that always gets me to convert to the side of murdering fascists: "We want *you*... for breeding stock." :eek: Definitely some good action scenes in the book. I don't know if I've gotten too used to the movies, or if Rowling is picturing the films already, but I could already hear...

Yes, a fine time. I never thought I'd earn the respect of a cloaker/warrior (Unearthed Arcana). Or be so excited to find a mag-light (7th Sea). Or hear my husband complain that he 'only got 17 bucks from his knocked-up crack-ho' (Pimp). And an interesting end-note: as Zog and I were walking...

I like to keep things simple. In most of my games, if an action is important enough to warrant a roll, then the highest number always succeeds and the lowest always fails. Any time a roll is involved there needs to be a chance of success and a chance of failure, otherwise the GM should just...

"I haven't named any of my other class features." 'Blackwing' reminded me of a game I was in where a raven got named on the fly (er, so to speak), and ended up called 'Darkwing'- which of course is the name of a Disney cartoon character (Batman/Ducktales cross). So everytime this particular...

My favorite dialogue was: "<You're> a bard, huh? My father taught me that bards were underpowered." "Really? So what class are you?" "I'm a multi-class fighter/rogue/sorcerer who specalizes in enchantment spells." [beat] "And that never struck you as needlessly complicated?" :D

I just get annoyed when the GM ruins expectations by jumping the gun. GM: "OK, you arrive in town and find an inn. The next day..." Player: "Oh. Well I WAS going to take precautions in case our enemies were here and planning to exact revenge, but apparently that's not necessary." GM: "Oh...

Sign me up for Zog's 7th Sea game (am), and Arcana Evolved (pm). I ran last time so this time I get to play guilt-free!

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who crashed after Saturday. :p Yes, many thanks to our hosts for sharing their house and pets with us all. May the hair on their toes never fall out! (Or is that just for hobbits?) Thanks to my players for putting up with me, and thanks to dougmander for...

Hey-o, does anyone know Sagrabah? I'd like to e-mail their character sheet but I've not heard from them. If someone could help out, that would be great. BTW BucanneerFeline, how long does it generally take to ride the T from, say North Station to Newton? Nothing like an early morning start...

Hey, full table! Thanks for the heads-up! Welcome aboard Sagrabah! Please e-mail me at eh at bu.edu so I can get you character info- I'd also like to hear from Dr. NRG and Dareloon [sp?]. I want to get the spellcasters assigned so we can spend less time looking up spells and more time playing!

P-Cat, is there a microwave available? If so, I'll bring some MW popcorn. Is it customary to bribe the GMs with food? I know it's my custom to accept food bribes! Chocolate is redeemable for valuable magic items in future one-shots...

Doh! Found the option and switched it on, should work now. Unfortunately, I don't have full color battlemaps, but the full-body latex prosthetics should be done in time. I find forcing the players to submit to 7 hours of make-up greatly enhances my game experience... ;)

Hello! This is Betsy (Mrs. Zog) and I'm running Dark Deeds in the am. I need my players to contact me so I can assign characters and e-mail you-all's yer sheets. I'd like to get them out by Thursday so people can get familiar with their feats 'n spells. Asmor, Random-Assassin, Dr. NRG, and...
