I know what to say. Roll me up a character now.

Here's one that is a huge pet peeve of mine: Be familiar with all the rules that pertain to your character Know how your abilites work. Hell, know what they are . I don't care if I'm Mister Cavern or a fellow Jaunty Spelunker. If your turn comes by in combat and you have to spend twenty minutes flip...

SOLD!

The only thing that irks me about critical fumble rules is that they've always struck me as being entirely unecessary. Quite often, simply missing is bad enough since your opponent gets another chance to kill you. They also tend to bog down play a lot and when it comes to any game, forget Rule Zero....

Probably because they don't want a flame war on the article page.

Playing Rifts taught me that tabletop RPGs are not to be taken even the slightest bit seriously.

Also, TSR, WotC, Palladium Books and whoever the cockhound that is responsible for FATAL is taught me that the RPG industry is filled with idiotic, egocentric hacks.

I learned that staying connected with old friends is hard grueling work, but ultimately rewarding.

I also learned that I am slightly more paranoid than is really healthy.

It is MY PLAYERS who have elevated these characters to an importance above the PCs. What do you call that? I call it your audience liking your single author fiction. I call it "my two options for a romantic subplot being (1) a reasonably hot NPC and (2) a meh PC played by a very attractive lad...

Just out of curiousity, why did you ever take him off of ignore?

Huh... I made one of these by accident. I threw together an NPC fighter once so that the (then low level) PCs would have an extra body to help them out in fights. I figured I'd kill her off or something eventually but they loved her so much she practically became the party mascot.

HILARIOUS FACT: I owned the Dragonlance Silver Anniversary book, which reprints all the original modules and provides (2nd edition) stats for all the characters.

Caramon Majere has an intelligence score of 12.

Awesome. Now I want to play in a MU*, which I haven't done in a long-ass time...

You can also use illusion spells to create "fake" fog. Just make sure your allies know and they will be able to see through it.

L's and E's... I'm big on body proportions... I don't think I'd find breasts that large attractive unless the lady in question was very tall and athletic (Mmm... amazons...)

Fighter, Barbarian, Ranger, Rogue, Psychic Warrior, Crusader, Warblade, Samurai (OA) ... pick any two of them, two levels each, and you have a viable character. But the viability of those basically boils down to "bash enemy every round" or "do special move on enemy every round" ...

I don't know where you guy's experiance lies, but my experiance in America has been that Catholics rarely care wat Catholicism has to say on any political subject. the most well known position the church has is a staunch opposition to Abortion, but a vast majority of catholics have proven incredibl...

However, ask the same groups if Fairy Tales are evil, they seem to be okay with it. Which is a pretty hypocritical position. It gets worse. Remember king Solomon? Christians and Jews love that crazy motherfucker. Never mind that he was a hardcore polygamist and was reputed to have summoned a small ...
