I’m a thirtysomething dad and IT professional living in the Austin, TX area. I started gaming way back in the day, 1982, with the TSR space opera game Star Frontiers. Since then I've been an avid roleplayer. I went to 5 Gen Cons, was a regional Triad for the RPGA's Living Greyhawk campaign, helped start a gaming club (the FORGE) in Memphis, TN, et cetera.

I GM and play a variety of RPGs; currently Pathfinder is in heavy rotation as well as various non-D&D-based games.

comment Does there exist an application for tracking your library of games?
I use Excel... Most things that try to get fancier than that end up constraining me in some way.

comment What are the best ways to utilize Wisdom and Charisma?
@SevenSidedDie If they're concerned about WIS being used by thieves/Perception, then it sounds like they're OGLing off d20 more than really using OD&D. WIS was a thief dump stat prior to 3e.

comment Combining Witches' Charm (Su) Hex and Diplomacy?
I'm cleaning up this question to meet our site standards (one coherent question). Just to get it out of the way, saves to witch hexes are all the same just like spell saves are all the same, 10 + 1/2 level + INT mod, and 1/day means 1/day for you, other witches may still hit them with the hex (this was clarified in a FAQ). Natural ones do not always fail skill checks. Yes, a lower stat gives a penalty on saves or other resistance calculations.
