I live in Lymington, Hampshire, and work in the Law Courts, which may have made my English slightly pedantic. I realize that Americans and other ex-colonials labour under a disadvantage, and regard it as an holy duty to assist them in speaking (and thinking) clearly.

Jun 26	comment	How to handle diverging expectations on “background density”? +1 for 'Your character doesn't know that yet', but I find the second half more useful: 'How do you plan to find out?' The player shuts up or goes thoughtful; either way, good for you and good for the group.
Jun 11	comment	Difference between Heavy/Light Crossbows and Long/Short Bows Just like to add that any DM who cares about realism should ban reloading a heavy crossbow while mounted. Using normal tack would involve pulling the saddle off the horse and yourself with it; with reinforced straps you would probably cut the horse in half.
