I've recently completed my MSc Computer Science from a UK institution, and have moved back to the US to begin work. I write in my spare time, enjoy cooking, and apparently am addicted to signing up for SE sites :).

2d	accepted	How similar is Star Wars Saga to DnD 4th edition?
Mar 26	comment	How can I use a frame story and keep a sense of danger and mystery? +1 for resurrection magic. Plenty of game groups refuse to perm-kill the PCs, but there's still a sense of danger and excitement without that.
Mar 18	comment	What is the difference between these Player's Handbooks? I would go off the word "Premium" myself. Or the fact that it was released in 2012 instead of 2003, indicating it's a newer reprint.
Mar 4	comment	How to help players who roll really badly? Just to point out, I've had the exact same problem with a dice pool system: rolling, say, a 6 dice pool, one guy consistently gets 4-10 successes (using 10-again) and another tends to get 1-3 tops.
Mar 1	awarded	Civic Duty
Feb 27	comment	What systems use interesting questions to inspire character backgrounds? It looks like those books have a series of tables to roll on? I'm looking for more of a Q&A type thing.
Feb 27	comment	What systems use interesting questions to inspire character backgrounds? I assume that's cWoD? I don't remember seeing those in nWoD last time we played but I may have just missed a chapter somewhere

Feb 25	answered	How to reveal initiative dice simultaneously online?
Jan 23	answered	How would you play test an RPG before all of its rules are complete?
Jan 18	comment	Can I use Run in an area where there is no straight path available? @Francesco I'm not sure you're picturing Withdrawing correctly, it's not like, terminator walking or anything. You're escaping as quickly as you can without smacking into other enemies, hazards, et cetera.
Jan 8	revised	How do I encourage a GM to use the rules as written? added 930 characters in body
Jan 7	comment	How do I encourage a GM to use the rules as written? @TimothyAWiseman Sure, but sometimes it's alright to loosen standards. I've seen people go from DnD to systems like BESM and freak out at how easy it is to build a shapeshifter character, for example, expecting Polymorph cheese.

Jan 3	comment	Star System Summary Sheets You could probably create one in Word with very little trouble. That's what I always end up doing for my freeform games, with the caveat that I've moved to Google Docs so I can share with other players.
Dec 18	awarded	Nice Question
Dec 17	comment	How to deal with lack of downtime as a wizard? @JohnAthanasiou Are you playing out the spell scribing? I'm confused as to how the party members are sitting around doing nothing instead of just skipping past the boring bits to the next interesting part. I play a similar type of character in a different system, and we tend to just literally start a session with "After two days, Erika has her new item crafted and you guys are ready to go break into the museum." There's no downtime for people to get squirrelly during.
Dec 17	accepted	What system produces characters that are easiest to convert to another system?
Dec 17	comment	What system produces characters that are easiest to convert to another system? Roll For Shoes looks amazing! I've alredy got Savage Worlds, GURPS, Pathfinder, and FATE on my splat list, but this looks like a nice spread from which certainly I'll find something workable. Thanks!
Dec 17	comment	How to deal with lack of downtime as a wizard? How does it not keep the action going to say "Three days later, the wizard has his new spell and the plot hook happens" as opposed to "The next morning, the plot hook happens"?
