@Starfe I read that whole thing, very insightful! My first time DMing, I got way too attached my imagined scenario. I wanted the players to look for the bandit's hideout in the woods, but they wanted to set up an elaborate ambush trap. I should have let them, but at the time I forced my hand and ma...

Just had to explain to a doctor why the Optiplex 150 with the manufacturer date of 04/24/02, that they werent even using, probably needs to go to surplus.

WHY WAS THERE RESISTANCE. WHY.

Hoarders, the lot of them.

Wasn't the original a trilogy anyway? I wouldn't really call it a trilogy. The original epic poem is the "Divina Commedia" ("Divine Comedy") which consists of three canticas, Inferno (Hell), Purgatorio (Purgatory), and Paradiso (Heavenly Paradise). They're not really separate wo...

IT LIVES.

POST YOU FOOLS POST. WORK IS BORING AND I CANT GO TO THE BAR UNTIL AT LEAST 5:30!

I realize that I'm speaking out of turn as someone 6 years your younger (sorry about that), but as long as they aren't your boss or the customer, it doesn't really matter. http://i.imgur.com/6JLyM.jpg Sometimes you wear this on your head the day your new boss is coming to meet everybody.

What follows is a super long post I wrote on and off over the course of my entire work day in which I muse on the importance of rules, exceptions in DMing, and story techniques in DMing.

I feel like a big jerk. If we are playing tomorrow I probably can't make it. Unfortunately weekends aren't great for me, it turns out. Which is probably why I never play on weekends. Its a friends birthday and I'm supposed to trek out to the mountain or something with a bunch of people. I really wan...

I stripped a screw. ;_; As an IT worker, I hate when this happens. Woke up yesterday to painful stomach cramps and spent the early morning hours with... bodily fluids coming out both ends. Unpleasant . We call that "Helicoptering". Maxine... your attitude towards this puzzles and concerns...

^ Isn't that the best boss-fight? It is super cool. Then again, that entire fucking game is super cool. Except at the very very end when it descends into the usual Metal Gear SUPER conspiracy nonsense. As a veteran player I don't really mind, except that I can't in good conscience recommend it to f...

I also can't play this weekend. Sorry guys. My girlfriends family is coming into town on Saturday morning and I'm expected to hang out with them for the next fucking week.
