To clarify, from my mistake when I created this Thread. Our games are likely to be held in the Columbia/Glen Burnie area. Now that several people have "signed on" it appears that is the more centralized location for all.
In the Glen Burnie area, there is a store called Games and Stuff (http://www.gamesandstuffonline.com/), previously Games and Comics and Stuff. Their website is much more functional.
D&D 4E Herald and M:tG Rules Advisor I expect posters to follow the Code of Conduct, use Basic Etiquette, and avoid Poor Logic. If you don't follow these guidelines, I consider you to be disrespectful to everyone on these forums. If you respond to me without following these guidelines, I consider it a personal attack. I grew up in a bilingual household, which means I am familiar with the difficulties in adopting a different vocabulary and grammar. That doesn't bother me. Persistent use of bad capitalization, affirming the consequent, and flaming bother me a great deal. Rule that I would change: 204.1b
Show
204.1b Some effects change an object’s card type, supertype, or subtype but specify that the object retains a prior card type, supertype, or subtype. In such cases, all the object’s prior card types, supertypes, and subtypes are retained. This rule applies to effects that use the phrase “in addition to its types” or that state that something is “still a [card type].” Some effects state that an object becomes an “artifact creature”; these effects also allow the object to retain all of its prior card types and subtypes.
"Eight Edition Rules Update"
We eventually decided not to change this template, because players are used to “becomes an artifact creature,” and like it much better. Players were used to Combat on the Stack, but you got rid of that because it was unintuitive. The only phrase needed is "in addition to its types"; the others are misleading and unintuitive.

crazysamaritan,
I looked at that Forum, the most recent post is dated 8-21-08, nearly two months old, with several threads showing dates of 2007. It does not appear to be a forum go to in lieu of this forum. Thanks for the suggestion, however this forum is definitely working for us finding people who wish to play (looks like the group is nearly filled out), but the PM-reply leave a bit to be desired (IMHO).

Nonono, I wasn't suggesting the forums, just the location. If Glen Burnie is more central to your group than Savage, or if you wanted to get together on Thursday instead of Tuesday/Saturday, it would be a good location. (They sell snacks in the store, and you're at a D&D store)

Oh! Sorry for the misunderstanding. Actually I looked at their "Event" area and I thought it looked neat until I noticed (correct me if I misread) the open gaming on Thursdays from 5-9pm, but did not see anything available on the weekends for Open Gaming. I found a place up Route 1 (near Route 152) that has space on Sundays, but thats too far for everyone but me. I will have to check them out again for weekend use. Thanks for point that out!

Right, the weekend isn't open for role-players on a regular basis (more of a monthly, or semi-monthly thing) in Glen Burnie.
I don't know about Jessup (I think that's where 152 is), but Savage does Miniatures painting on Sunday, I think.

No worries, I think we have several locations to alternate between.
Route 152 is north of Baltimore, toward Bel Air, if your headed north on Route 1 or Route I-95 north, you cross it. Can't remember what the name of that area is exactly. LOL. Doesn't matter.
Anyway, thanks for your posts, I appreciate your trying to help out with a gaming location.

Hello, finally allowed to log in....
BTW: I really don't recommend "Games and Stuff" to be a place to play. That store location has a history of failing. & the owner has an odd random unfriendliness about him. I guess I look like someone who smacked him around in HS. Anyway, it's dead as is it's forum.
So here's the good news. I live in the Glen Bernie area & also work in Columbia, driving on Jessup road 5 days a week. I'm going to start playing D&D soon & have experience with older versions. I've also looked at the new one. Is it me or does the new one look nice but generally hint at a lack of freedom & creativity ? The younger crowd with no doubt disagree with me & say the opposite & enjoy being told how common magic items are & what they cost in stores. Anyway, I'll see about sending you a PM, or receiving one soon.

I only play Magic there. Very active during that time.

I think the very best thing about this game is that it is encouraged to customize the game to the benefit of the players. I consider the books guildlines, not rulebooks. To me, the campaign flavor, for example, the magic item availability, is something the DM decides. If the players like it when magic is common place, and the DM runs a game where its nearly non-existant they are going to have to change something. New DM or new players or a compromise in the middle ground. Otherwise, the game dissolves.
That will be the trick with this new game, as many of us will be 'strangers' to one another, finding the game flavor that everyone enjoys will be the deciding factor in keeping new players in the game and experienced players wanting to play.
Try to message me soon, we are compiling schedules now to come up with some game time frames.

Message sent. I sent everything but a W2.
I'm all for compromise but of the players. When the DM compromises too much, the game seems to lose life. Sounds nice but what happens when one player plays a Thief to sneak slowly & the other a fighter to bash things. One player has the disguise proficiency & the other puts everything into fighting but can't swim or build a fire.
BTW: I'm not trying to be negative, just adding to the thread.
