Here I am posting to the front page without permission. It’s not my fault; the fools gave me a password. They should know better.

So it is Sunday night and time for my first “Thoughts from the Games Room”. I am trying to keep my cat off the keyboard as I write this. It is kind of annoying. It not that Merlin is a bad cat; he just wants more attention than I am showing him.

That reminds me of D&D, of course most things remind me of D&D. Specifically how do you as a DM balance your attention between a diverse group of players. All players, like cats, need attention during a game. It is one thing to throw out catch phrases like “make sure everyone is involved in the game” “give everyone a moment to shine” or “make every character feel important”, but the reality is that it is not always easy to do that. With 3.5 combats sometimes taking 2 hours there is less and less time to get everyone involved in a meaningful way in every session.

104 food items have been dropped off to one of the foodbank collection points.

Everyone who is involved and donated should take a bow and give themselves a pat on the back!

Full story (and a picture of the sexiest man on the planet – oh and some food) can be found:

Well folks, today is the day the GDs officially go public. I’m very proud of the work we have done so far. The food collection is going to be dropped off on Thursday / Friday because if I wait any longer I will not be able to carry the bin more than a few feet. Based on feel it seems we have about 70-80 lbs of food. Not bad for a just a bit over a month! With Orcdoubleaxe bringing in a bag of stuff from the Sunday RPG campaign, and the 7 items from last night’s campaign, we are probably closing in on 100 items. I’ll do a final count before the drop-off.

Thanks to all of you for helping!

Below is a copy of our “Press-Release” which is being posted on several forums about the internet.
