    Cat Vs.Commoner, Part II

    Only an idiot would be happy that an animal attacked people. When we had our daughter, my cat thought she could attack the baby. First time my daughter got clawed, the cat got herself a one way ticket to the shelter. I was not going to put an infant, especially my daughter, at risk of being...

    Is the Internet a hive of scum and villainy?

    No one made any threats. I pointed out that if you were in a game store and said something very rude, you might get asked to step outside. Without that physical threat, rude little people get to act like scum on the internet without ever getting held accountable. Don't worry little fellow, no...

    Is the Internet a hive of scum and villainy?

    As long as there are no negative consequences for acting poorly, people will act to the lowest common denominator. In a game store, if someone said something highly inappropriate, you could ask them to step out into the parking lot, but on the internet, they are completely safe. This safety...

    Pathfinder 1E Advice Needed: Best way to work with Power Gamers?

    Power gaming is very subjective. Are they just very experienced players that know how to make a character? If you have a group that is half experienced and half newbies, I can see your problem. Players with experience will always outshine those without it. Smarter players will always do...

    Pathfinder 1E I have been asked to try this again

    I would give it more than one session. When 4e replaced Living Greyhawk we tried it, for months... we got characters up to 4th or 5th level, so we played for a while. I feel we gave it an honest shot, and it just wasn't our cup of tea. Pathfinder might be the same with you, although with all...

    Pathfinder 1E I have been asked to try this again

    1) Really dumb. All characters should use the same leveling speed. 2) Either way, personally I like the non 4th ed. way, but could live with this one. 3) Not sure I like this, seems like a Hackmaster thing that I don't think PCs need. 4) Always have used this, and like it.

    would you play your least fav edition if asked by friends

    Friends don't make friends play 4th ed. :) I would bring beer and pizza and bribe them into playing something fun. Playing nothing would be better than playing a game I hate though.

    D&D 3E/3.5 problem spells in 3.5

    Obormot I think you missed the forest for the trees here. The problem isn't blasphemy or holy word, its the twinking some players do. The spells as written only kill the riff raff, 10 hd below the caster, which is fine. What isn't fine is when the players use magic items, feats, etc. to...

    D&D 3E/3.5 problem spells in 3.5

    I think if you are worried about the spells in 3.5 being too powerful, you have either one of two problems : 1) You are a fighter and have magic envy. 2) You are a DM and are not smart enough to use the same spells as the players. Example, players use Holy Word, kill all bad guys, no save...

    A hard decision at the game table

    Hey there, sounds rough, but have you thought about talking to the assisted living center and seeing if they will host the game? Explain to them that their client likes to play and that she can't physically make the trip anymore, so you want to bring the game to her. They should be able to...

    Why do we put each other in boxes?

    LMAO... Oh woe is us... life is so unkind, people suck, forums suck, wish everyone was smarter, kinder, more insightful, etc. so they could keep up with me instead of pick on me. Thanks for adding some humor to my day :) You took a potentially downer thread and made it a bit lighter...

    Pathfinder 1E Advice for running Pathfinder

    Start with an Adventure Path if you can afford one. Or better yet, have your players chip in. The benefit of an AP, is that the monsters are already calibrated to the level of your party and the adventure is written for you. This will give you time to get used to PF, without having to really...

    Just how broken is it? Polymorph Any Object

    I have seen it used in game to change a horse to a griffon, both can be riding animals, which is what the character wanted, a flying mount. Don't think it can be used to raise dead though, have to agree with everyone else on that one. Changing a creature into another creature is fine, but...

    What If....4E had been a modular option sub-set for 3.5?

    It's like the old southern saying, "If frogs had wings, they wouldn't bump their butts when they jumped"; basically they had to do it the way they did and hope against all logic they got lucky. I was there at GenCon when they killed Living Greyhawk, which was a big influence in 3.5 with its...

    PDFs vs. Books - What's your preference?

    I prefer books when reading a lot of material for the first time, it's easier on my old eyes. But, when gaming, looking up stuff quickly online in the SRD or in PDF format rocks, it is so much quicker than finding a book and finding the page, etc. all while the rest of the people online wait...

    Should a GM be allowed to arbitrarily make things up as they go along?

    Wow, you are actually addressing the concerns of "Billy" in the OP, instead of just saying he sucks because he doesn't want to play an RPG. I think there are probably a LOT of people that avoid games because of a lack of trust, to me it isn't silly, it is something we as gamers must address to...

    Should a GM be allowed to arbitrarily make things up as they go along?

    I can kind of see your friend "Billy's" point. I have had GMs that were too lazy to learn the game they were running, so they made stuff up as they went, when you pointed out to them that there were rules for grappling or whatever the case was, they got mad and would say they are "role-playing"...
