I watched The sandbaggers in highschool every Wednesday night on local PBS. I have recently started watching Peter Gun on Prime. The use of music to quickly set tone is amazing.

Also remember as GM/DMs that the answer is not in the adventure write up either. I think in this case the players were creative and did solve the problem. Be glad they didnt just get focused on using brute force on the plate. You did well by allowing their alternative solution to work. Some...

While I would prefer Count Zero or something by Walter Jon Williams I am not going to quibble and look forward to this greatly.

I for one miss they sound of the dialing up screeching sound and either getting kicked offline if someone called you or plugging the modem into the main jack so no one could call in. Esp with a roommate that could easily spend 80 percent of his waking hours online.

Why would an optimizer need an easy buddy DM? By my definition (and I don't think I am off the wall here) an optimizer builds characters that thrive on hard mode. Their thrill is going in and punching above their weight. Problems come in when you have another player that doesn't like...

Yeah. I'm kind of stunned that I seem to fall into the disruptive ego-driven jerk camp because I put my highest score in the class appropriate stat and chose spells that seem best for the job at hand. Of course I do that in real life, I did not major in math back in college cause I am not very...

If you don't mind, and this is not a gotcha question: if the difference between optimizer and munchkin is pedantic where is your preferred line? For example I am making a character for your game or as a fellow player and I decided on a warlock. At what point is it going to bug you: I put my...

Doh. And I liked up the title b posting. Thanks for the correction

Mine was F4 and superman (due to my wife). But then, just this week, we became aware of Abraham's sons. That jumped to number 1 very quickly.

He was also in Rambo type movie called Ruckus that came out in 1981 a year before Rambo I believe.

Yeah, I know. I worked in my university library periodicals section back in the 90s, and saw how they charged them mag subscriptions based on "approximate readership". From the librarians here on the site I can tell it is that same type of logic. I appreciate the books I can get off Libby...

I could have a lot of this myself. Then the wife and I went to B&N to browse a few weeks ago. The paperbacks I was use to were $9.99 and I could tell trying to read the print would be torture. But most of the books vin the shelves were trade paperback style and they were between $14.99 and...

Whenever 2 posters start arguing about the meaning of a word when everyone knows what was meant anyway.

Ha Ha. Oops I did the same thing (pdf level). I really don't need 300 pages of rules for shadowdark but all the stuff that's included will keep me entertained for a long time.
