You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Thanks again for running a fantastic game, billytea.

I would run it but I don't have a copy of the game. I am very much in favor of billytea getting to be a player for once so c'mon guys, who wantsta take over for our esteemed GM?

I don't have a copy of the game either, or I would happily GM.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Game is on my wish list, but don't have it, unfortunately.

My nephew is working on a D20 campaign idea that I think is brilliant and I'm wondering if it's been done before.

You start the game with nothing but dice, no character sheet even. The DM says (and F put it better than this, I'm sure- I'm paraphrasing.)

You wake up sore and bruised, in the dark, with no idea of where you are or how you got there.

As the game progresses, the DM gives you your character sheet one piece at a time.

I've had a GM do something similar with White Wolf games, but never D&D.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I agree, great GMing billytea!!

I have the game, but have never gm'ed anything before, and painfully shy/insecure is keeping me from volunteering.

Our wings are not tired

Sean, I thought you didn't have two spare minutes to rub together for the next few weeks?
