Ambiguously Gendered Child of "What is the Hivemind?"

Beware of mixing (RP, social life etc) too closely - esp if roommates are involved. I have horror stories of campaigns that involved three guys sharing and apartment - Chez Geek style

Well, we probably never took it so seriously that it would've caused problems. We got along out-of-game and in-game, too, so I guess that helps.

so, that would be a no

We were getting really good at bowling, ping-pong, had fun with football and hockey... I was also involved in a theatrical production and a small wind ensemble, a friend of mine was in a choir, another guy was writing a book, another one was in SCA, another one was big on crafts... we were a diverse bunch.

they made them powerful band aids instead of just band aids..... :\

and to think- I played them even before the 3.0 conversion.

Some day I'm going to play a true warrior priest bastard whom gives out no healing but to himself. Otherwise he bull strengths and banes like heck to attack and demoralize his foes.

In truth I'm envious. I got started with DnD about one year before I meant my wife. The best i ever did was about 7 times a month with each session being about 4-5 hours long.

My first con was a treat- 72 hours of straight gaming. It took me a full week to recover from the mountain dew/pizza over dulgence and lack of sleep involved. I could use a weekend like that right now.... :\

Well, I'm envious because I haven't yet been to a con. I've had people come in from out of town to play with us and we had huge gaming sessions, but not quite a con.

Using Intimidate?!?!? *imagine voice rising to a girlish squeak*

Before the 3.0 conversion.....if you used Player's Option, they were the most powerful creatures in the universe. I had a player who legitimately followed every rule to create a priest that had Fighter attacks, Weapon mastery, and Hit Dice, All the Rogue Skills and Backstab, Evocation spells from the Wizard, and the Healing Sphere :\

Yup I used to hit GenCon like that - If I didn't get 12 hrs gaming per day I was'nt trying hard enough. I havent been since it left WI. *sigh* Next year in Jer.. erm indianapolis

If a "Vote that skill out" thread ever begins I can't help but think Intimidate will be an early loser. Roleplaying it by deeds is much better.

Which is more believeable?

Roll a natural 20 and say "I will hurt you pond scum"

or begin with the knees, then flay the bottoms of his feet and make him walk across a salt bed then ......

Twice a year Vermont has a con. One in Burlington and another near Stowe. I have yet to make it to a Burlington DnD con but have gone to Carnage a few times. Grandma lives within 20 minutes of it so she takes the rugrats allowing me to mess myself up proper on dew, pizza and roleplaying.
