Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
The old fashioned way, with a few tweaks.BGG, how do you play - the old fashioned way, all around a table, or networked on ur PCs?
Players sit on the sofa or on the armchairs.
I sit at the computer desk.
I use a "screen down policy" primarily because a GM screen can foster an element of us and him thinking. With the screen down, I can see the players, they can see me, and we can work together.
However, they are seated far enough back not to see my notes or most dice rolls.
To my left side of the desk sits a 19" TFT which I can see but the players cannot, where I store more notes and GM utilities.
I'm considering getting another TFT that faces the places, so I can pop maps, pictures, and player related info on it.
If we all want to use PC's, then we play from home and meet up in World of Warcraft, which is a totally different game.
I have heard of a few RPG Clients that can run on PC, but these are for DM's with players in different demographic locations. Since my group are all local and friends and meet in person, we don't need this.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

All sounds terribly geeky and dull.
Drinking games maybe, or games that involve touching ladies, like naked twister....Comment

I used to have a link to some rather good naked twister piccies, but I seem to have lost it. I think I posted it on here once. You could do a search.Originally posted by DimPrawnI am not qualified to give the above advice!

Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to timeComment

It's not dull for people who play them. It's like chatting on here - I know none of you really exist, but it's quite amusing nonetheless.Originally posted by DimPrawn
I don't play - I prefer first life. I don't know any warlords or dragons obviously, but Great Brickhill have some decent fast bowlers, two blokes called Dave and Ray take turns to beat me up on the Dojang every couple of weeks, and my wife is pretty fierce.Comment

WTF?!Originally posted by Board Game Geek
None of that makes any sense to me.
Last computer game I played seriously was Elite, on my BBC B, when I was about 10. Since then I have developed more interesting interests.
Oh, I did go through a Stick Cricket phase about 3 years ago for a couple of days.Comment

I'm the same, some weeks the only social interaction I get (other than the wife) is with xbox live which usually means talking to people I don't really know and blowing their heads offOriginally posted by TazMaNYeah good for him.

Seriously, it doesn't bother me. We enjoy it and that's all that matters.so what the guy plays games..... enjoys it and has friends who does similar..
To be honest, I feel the same way about football and other sports, so I'm just as guilty.
One man's meat is another man's poison and all that...
...and Zeit...it's DOOM mate, not DOOMED
