I could tell you he said something cool like "Not the Pally!" or "Not the Questgiver!" but, I was a kid. I just said "Not the Momma" completely out of context.

RPGs / Re: The RPPR Forum Users AD&D Stated Party
« on: May 08, 2009, 12:00:26 PM »This woeful ignorance of AD&D displeases me. Back in the day, stats were different back then. Characters were limited to a MAXIMUM of 18 in any given stat, with a possible exception of some demi-humans getting a 19 in a stat. And an 18 in ANYTHING was fucking AMAZING. Characters with a 18 Wisdom were immune to low level illusions. Fighters (and only fighters) could roll exceptional strength if they had an 18 strength. This could give them ogre strength at level 1, with a +3 to hit (which was incredible) and a +7 to damage. If a character managed to get a 19 Constitution, they could fucking REGENERATE.
I remember when we first started playing AD&D, the DM was adamant about using the 'you roll it, you run it' mentality. You know what this leads to? Sir Wilhelm van Awesomeface, Paladin of Kord, and his retinue of brain-damaged midgets. You couldn't impale yourself on that kobold's sharp stick fast enough just for another chance at the dice. After a year of running that and nearly suffering a breakdown, the DM went slack on chargen. I was that fighter with 18/22 STR and 6 INT and played it like he was a grown version of the baby from Dinosaurs (that might date me, a little). I was happy though, it was the first time in that group I had a character with any stat over 14.

1.) RPPR
2.) SModcast
3.) THIS IS HELL
4.) The History of Rome (so fucking compelling it hurts)
5.) Skeptic's Guide to the Universe
6.) Dan Carlin's Hardcore History (an awesome show, but updates come with the changing of the seasons)
7.) The Classic Tales Podcast
8.) TWiT (This Week in Tech)
9.) Slate's Political Gabfest
10.) Movies You Should See (The guy behind this also do a pretty good Star Trek podcast)
I used to love FilmSpotting, but when they replaced Sam with Matty Ballgame I just stopped listening. The dynamic between those two isn't nearly what it was with Sam and Adam.

RPGs / Re: Laws of Running a Game
« on: May 01, 2009, 04:59:05 AM »For example:
At my table, you can only reroll the die if it lands in a way that the number can not be determined, such as if it lands cocked or if it falls off of the table. Striking objects on the table or the terrain of the table itself are considered part of the randomness of the roll.
You get one cocked reroll. After that we take it where it lays or the GM rolls it behind the screen. I've seen way too many players abuse 'cocked die' or 'spot rolling' to trust the unwashed heathens any further.

If you give them what they want, they scream Monty Haul!
If you refuse to give them what they want, they scream railroading!
If you try to compromise, they demand the most broken shit possible and refuse to live up to their end of bargain.
If you lie to them, cheat them, murder their characters and otherwise treat them like an abused spouse, they will love you and talk about you to their friends.

I've never heard those, but the faithful one I have heard and love is;
"It's okay guys, all I have to do is NOT roll a 1."
Oh ye who temptith fate
