PS: What the heck. Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Game: An Essential D&D Starter (4th Edition D&D) is the book of the week.
The video below should be useful material for any gamers out there trying to convince their GMs that, yea, indeed, their character with the peg-leg can do that ridiculously acrobatic thing after all:
Remember: your PC does have that high a level in his or her dexterity/coordination/agility stat, and he or she does have his or her dancing/acrobatics/tumbling skill maxed out. Or he or she should, at least, if you’re trying to justify tap dancing with a peg-leg to a GM. The point is that your PC really is a beautiful and unique snowflake; that’s part of the point in playing a roleplaying game in the first place*.

*For the non gamer geeks: this assertion is not… universally held.
On the perils of allowing yourself too much identification with NPCs:
It’s a dangerous game to love that which has stats and therefore can be killed.
Actually, that last panel of FFN has another good line, too. It’s one of the better webcomics out there; a shame that it’s just once a week.

Mind you, you should be nicer to players who aren’t breaking the game. Unless they’re into that; some are, oddly.
How did I miss this… oh, right, new baby.

*For those wondering: In Nomine
Accurate enough, as far as it goes: but I don’t think that it got any more than the gist of this sort of gameplay…
Oh, wait: that was the condensed version.
Yes. Yes, this is much more accurate.
There are apparently two R. Borgstroms in the gaming world: there’s Rebecca Borgstrom, who wrote Nobilis
…$150? Excuse me while I get my copy out of the reach of children and into an inert nitrogen atmosphere.
…and then there’s Rolfe Borgstrom, who got mentioned in this article about gaming out Land of the Lost. The main site (Transitive Property of Gaming) looks interesting, too. As for the article… true enough, as far as it goes; but you should also try GURPS Dinosaurs
What? No, actually, I know plenty of women who game. My wife’s a GM, in fact. Why do you ask?

*Which I personally feel would be just crying out for a d20
