Roleplayer, lapsed blogger, and full-time dad.

Started playing with AD&D 1st edition and started GMing with AD&D 2nd edition. Ran D&D 3rd edition, D&D 4th edition briefly, then became a fan of indie games and the OSR. Particularly fond of GMless and short-form games because they fit nicely into a busy schedule, and are very good for enticing non-gamers into the roleplaying hobby.

Jan 5	answered	Where can I learn the meanings of RPG terminology?
Jan 5	revised	What is the real difference between D&D 4th Edition and Essentials? Clarify
Jan 5	comment	What is the real difference between D&D 4th Edition and Essentials? @Peter: I was under the distinct impression that Bladesinger was a class introduced in the new Forgotten Realms, either in a book or a DDi article. I may be wrong, since I have maintained an outsider's perspective (which I'm sharing with another outsider). As for one over the other, I'll clarify.

Jan 2	comment	Are there good game mechanics/systems for a timetravel-heavy game/character? It's entirely likely that the downvote is because it badly needs editing before it's understandable. Consider too that whoever downvoted can change their vote if you edit your answer.
Dec 29	awarded	Nice Answer
Dec 24	comment	What can I use in place of Fudge Dice? What does "create your own ones" mean? Does it not come with Fudge dice built-in?
Dec 24	revised	What can I use in place of Fudge Dice? Clean up
Dec 23	comment	What could you call medical doctors in a medieval/fantasy setting? @LeguRi There are all kinds of reasons to avoid CW, not least because it guts the SE system's reward cycle. Also, CW doesn't make it a better reference—already, anyone landing here is going to look over the answers and have their own opinion of what their favourite answer is. Marking it CW doesn't change that.
Dec 22	answered	What are the changes in the third edition in Earthdawn?
Dec 21	comment	Which manufacturers make aesthetically unusual dice? @Beska As great an idea as it seems at first, in practice lists made here "just to have the list" tend to be low-vote and low-view ghost towns. The narrowly-focused questions that are looking for answers to a specific end garner higher-quality sets of answers, more views, and more votes.
Dec 21	revised	What game system is best for playing Fallout on the tabletop? prettify link; convert single linebreak into a proper paragraph break
Dec 21	revised	What game system is best for playing Fallout on the tabletop? prettify link; remove redundant signature
Dec 17	comment	Does freedom of movement enable you to tumble underwater? Perhaps with some additional in-fiction options for the exact how of the tumbling that leverage one's buoyancy.
Dec 16	awarded	Sportsmanship
Dec 14	comment	Can a player use tactical movement if “engaged”? This is a free-to-download RPG, is it not? Given the number of questions I'm moved to read it to better answer, but I'm having a hard time finding a link.

Dec 13	comment	Chuck Norris player character - can I keep true to the internet meme while still running a balanced game? Sorry, but only Chuck Norris could build a class that is strictly better than any other and also balanced. He would write down the rules for the class solely by roundhousing the computer.
Dec 13	comment	How do I make my role playing group a not exclusively male one? +1. Being talked over is a well-documented "this annoys me and I'm not coming back" situation for all people, which for various reasons women face way more often than men.
Dec 13	comment	How do I make my role playing group a not exclusively male one? "Be welcoming; don't be unwelcoming" is great advice when trying to attract new people to anything, and yet it's advice so seldom taken.
