Back in the mists of time, when I first started playing in RPGs, I ran a game. It was disorganized chaos, but it was fun and we went on for about two years. ...
I'm not going to begin to offer any thoughts on this one Just a question. Did the player who did the spinoff talk to you before he did his thing? If he did,...
Well, if it was your game originally, then you have the right to restart it in whatever form you wish and advertise it wherever you please. I'm guessing you...
They did ask, but what they proposed was creating a list where people could write all the sex and violence and pr0n they wanted. What ended up happening was...
Thanks. These were pretty much my thoughts on the matter. I just want to be told when I'm being an asshat, so I thought I'd check with you all. Honestly, the...
first of all, you can't legally plagerize something that isn't copywrit. like a PBeM game concept. you are right, most games are bits and peices of other games...
Jack, Goodness, no, I wasn't talking about you. You took a game I started over and are doing a wonderful job with it. And even that game borrowed heavily from...
*lmao* Personally, I'd have to extend that to anything written by Laurel K. Hamilton, but I whole-heartedly agree. Even if her books *do* have an eerie...
okay, i know it's probably not so great of a topic, but i want to know; i know we all get those character submissions on occassion that make us all cringe...
At one point I was running a table top game, one of the players wanted to play a half angel, half demon with the two halves split vertically down the middle. I...
My favorite bios that make me cringe are the ones from players who clearly didn't take the time to read what we've already got because they send in characters...
When I get a character profile like that, I like to turn it back around on the Player. I sit them down and start a conversation like, "So, your character is...
... whose mother was the town slut, and he didn't believe her reputation until he peeked through a window and watched her in action. Squick, squick, squick....
Greetings fellow free formers! I have been here lurking for ages but decided suddenly to post! (Sweeps a bow) I think what bugs me the most is when a player...
Greetings to you too! (Albeit, late.) And who you callin' Puck? *lol* Is there a story behind that tagline, "Merlin of Bookhaunts"? -b. ... but decided...
Lots of bad player stories here, occupational hazard of the whole GMing gig. What I'm wondering is, what were the characteristics of the best player you ever...
I've had three players who've been so amazing that I'd join a game that wasn't my genres just to write with them because we had such syncronicity going on. ...
I'm going to leave the friends I've known awhile out of my assessment, here, because I'm not sure if they're "great" players or if I just like playing with...
there's a lot to base that on. i had four players i adored. so much so i made a game specifically for them. Nadine - she had a really odd writing style and...
Hmmm. I've had a ton of good players. I think the ones that stick out for me are the ones who manage to come up with interesting situations, and who can help...
Oh goodness... well... Since we're naming names... And I love this topic. Lissa and I shared a brain. I don't know where she's gotten herself off to, but I...
Well I didn't say 'Puck you' just we were all puckish. (grins) I belonged to a book discussion board for many years (Bookhuants). One time we started a pass...
I've gotten a few bios in my day that had made me choke and wonder how on Earth the applicant thought that the bio would even be remotely acceptable...
For me, a "good" player is someone who: *Understands the ability to balance between "Develop at Start" and "Develop in Play" (even if they aren't familiar with...
At various times in my on-line roleplaying adventures, I've noticed that sometimes there's a game that is designated by its administration as an "adult" game...
WAR isn't an "adult" game as such - we'd be happy to take in a 12 or 13 year old who could otherwise fit in with our fairly intellectual playerbase - but we...
Mostly I label mine that as a head's up that nothing's going to be really candy coated and there's a chance there'll be content not one's cuppa. I've been in...
Mainly I (1) don't want kids in my games, (although Cthulhu knows why since my worst players barnone are theones in their 40's and older. and (2) I do like...
I think there are three things that warrant an "Adult" label for purposes of content. 1) The game is a straight up excuse for very graphic, very detailed, ...
So my game is relatively small. I might be adding a new player, whose character will be a double agent. (Assuming I can ever get her to create the character)...
