why do you think it wouldn't be appealing for a D&D oriented group? Pretty hard to know where we fall as a group without having played other RPG's but I think we'd have no trouble with a less combat/hero oriented game, if that's why.

All the pre-gens are fairly respectable Hobbits and not rough and tumble adventurers, and the adventures are geared more to gradually moving the needle from mundane skill tests to more life or death challenges. My daughter’s boyfriend only warmed to the game when we switched to an adventure I built around material from Ruins of the Lost Realm and had everyone create their own, mostly non-Hobbit characters.

While the FB shot is fun, I don't know if as many BGG users would recognize it as the other images.

This isn't the first time these 2 people have done the same exact thing (They did the same on 2 of my posts), I don't know whether they think it's funny or not but it's embarrassing. Just ignore it and move along, if someone wants it they'll comment, otherwise just keep it, donate it to a library, junk it, or burn it.

Or simply reply back on the item thread "this is a BIN only auction" and move on.

Except it isn't BIN only. OBO doesn't mean anyone has to accept a $.50 bid.

Then say "Thanks for the offer but no. Offer is unreasonable." Then move on. The fact that there was no response led to someone to offer a dollar more. Nip the issue in the bud.

On The Gentle Truth
by [username=Bifford]Bifford[/username]

My eldest likes going to her school D&D club, but it is quite an unfocused event - there are now so many of them going that the experienced (that's not to say good by our standards) GMs are outnumbered by the inexperienced ones. Whereas the experienced ones can run something of a sory that at least in some small way makes sense, the res are just muddling through.

She asked me today how to explain that the players were not really enjoying three weeks of "chase scene" where it was just roll the dice, on a high number you move forward/have no issues and on a low number you crash into something and slow down. That sort of thing is okay for a quick chase scene, but not a prolonged full session, much less two sessions.

I gave her advice to the best of my abilities, talking about Feedback Sandwich and pulling him aside for a one-to-one chat, rather than doing it with the whole group.

What stories do you have of telling someone their GMing isn't so hot?

Every day there's a new Question of the Day. Most of them are game-related but once in a while we get one that'a more geek-related like favorite movies or books. The question changes every day and you can even suggest a QOTD. When you check out this week's Question of the Week, you can see a link to all the old questions and the chance to suggest a question of your own. Here's this week's QOTD:
QOTD OCT 13: What has been the strangest, most unusual or unexpected crossover between our hobby (or geekdom in general) into other things?
