Introduction
The release of 4th Edition remembered me of time wasted as a youth and pulled me back in.
How long have you been playing D&D? or new to D&D? What edition do you prefer to play? 4th ed., 3.5, other?
since 1984, but stopped in the early 90's
What's your Favorite Book? (D&D related or not)
Treasure Island
How often would you prefer to play? monthly, weekly, daily, at night, on weekends
weekly to monthly, prefer weeknights
What's your favorite class to play? Wizards, Fighters, Rogues, Priests etc.
I can play them all. Not so much paladins, clerics, unless they are twisted :)
Have you ever been the Dungeon Master? Would you like to be a Dungeon Master?
yes, I've been a DM all the time. My only problem is that on weekends I usually go hiking, snowboarding etc.

Taking Turns Meetup Part 8 of REVENGE OF THE GIANTS
"Orb of imposition's save penalty works only on one effect a save can end. So for "sleep" it only works on either the slowed or unconscious effect, but not both. I think we've played it that way, but I'm not sure if I remember correctly..."

HUGE ERRATA they fixed so much broken stuff!
"It saddens me that the orbizard still seems to be a problem. We need at least the errata that saving throw penalties never stack. Brad, I feel sorry that you are having this problem...."

HUGE ERRATA they fixed so much broken stuff!
"That makes the Dreadnought fix a really good one. The free action auto-save at any time was stupidly overpowered. It made this paragon path game breaking, because auto-saves are not supposed to be inflationary...."

Vote for what adventure we will do in Oct/Nov after Revenge of the Giants
"I'm going to continue with the Death Dealer. He _might_ come back as a Revenant. Most likely the ED will be Death Knight from the Raven Queen article. Apparently, the Raven Queen is testing him for admission into her inner circle of servants...."

House rule: Increasing crit damage for monsters
"I find critical hits from monsters boring. They don't scare players, because they only max the damage, which is something that can happen with a lucky die roll even without a crit...."
