i just realized this today when i remembered that i have a game to run tomarrow and haven't even finished half of my preperation. I think i spend most of the time i would normally spend preparing for the game reading and responding to this board. Does anyone else do this or am i a lone addict coping with this new revelation?

Good man. That which does not kill us, makes us strong.
Now, you have players that have stories to tell. Go on and get ready to help them. Steal from the boards if you need to and print out copies of the Dragonshards to put into a binder for easy reference. They have good advice and hey, its free. Don't stress. You'll be fine.

There you go Brothers and Sisters! Testify! The truth shall set you free!


Of course, given that it took me five tries to spell 'truth' right up there I should take my own advice and give it a rest for a while.

Goodnight everybody!

When I read your post I was thinking to myself
"Yesterday you told yourself you would work on your campaign and not come to this board, but where do you find yourself. Hey whats this message here." :mymy:

My name is Sequal, and I am a board-o-holic.

On the bright side I have so far avoided starting a campaign to neglect, but I will probably have to once I see how bad my friend's campaign is. (All of our DMs graduated last year)

It's times like these when I enjoy being a PC, at least for now.
When I take up the mantle of DM once more, i'm sure i'll be here standing beside you as a board-a-holic.

My forum name is MarkB. I browse the Wizards forums at home and work, and compile big threads into little threads. It's nearly midnight and I should've gone to bed half an hour ago, but I had to have 'one more quick browse'.

I think there is a remote possibility that I might be developing something of a minor addiction.

Huh? No, I've never been to Egypt, let alone swum in the river.
Atlictoatl

09-06-04, 08:23 PM
You know you're a board-a-holic when you are still the 2nd most voluminous poster at a busy gaming board, even though you haven't been active at that site in nine months.

Compared to that, I figure I'm firmly on-the-wagon over here!

Atlictoatl, reformed / recovering board-a-holic
there's hope out there!
Rajorke

09-07-04, 12:21 AM
Now that is good that we have so many that have admitted
except Honeycakes now come on in order to better understand your addiction you must first confront it.

now lets try and get everyone to admit to this

Just another user

09-07-04, 06:09 PM
Nonsense. I can stop at any moment...

But before I go check the D20 modern board.

And the Eberron Classes board.

And the Mutants and Masterminds boards.

(I wonder if there is something interesting in the Rpg.net forums?)

The_other

09-07-04, 09:56 PM
I am The_other and (sniff) I became a board-a-holic when this demonic game seduced me into its fantasy and fun and able to cast REAL spells. I have persistent charm person cast on my girlfriend and renew it everyday....

I cast foxe's cunning before i take a (sniff) test.... It's all this cursed games fault for making me a board-a-holic :weep:
Marshall Stone

09-08-04, 01:42 AM
I'm not a board-a-holic.
Just because it's the first thing I read when I wake up in the evening (night job), the first site I go to and leave up, if minimized in the corner, almost my entire work shift, and the last thing I look at before going to sleep in the morning, does not make me a board-a-holic.
After all, I hardly ever post anything. And I Can Quit Any Time I Want!

How did you get banned from WW??? That's the most tolerant forum I've seen! Well, the Exalted forum at least.

I will say that this one is pretty darn cool and the people have been wonderful about helping. :D

My name is Aleph13, and I'm swiftly becoming a board-a-holic.

...It all started so innocently..."I think I'll try and find an answer to that rules debate." Then, "Heh. There's lots of funny and useful stuff in here..." Finally, " :eek: It's what o'clock?!?! I'll have to look for that answer tomorrow..."

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to inhale the Ask Keith Baker Threads. :D

I've spent so much time on these boards that during the month of August, when my real-world life was insanely busy, I had to quit cold turkey.

Not that I've been totally absent, but I'm posting a lot less lately. We'll see if I can continue to control myself. :)

My name is Dex The King, and I'm a board-a-holic.

I've read all of the Ask Keith thread (as it comes up), I've asked Keith three questions that he refused to answer, and I've constructed a large deal of my campaign from board questions and responses.

I think I need higher proof.
JohnnyONeal

09-10-04, 07:05 PM
We miss you, Johnny!

Awwww. That's makes me feel touched and guilty at the same time.

Sorry I dropped off the map, but I didn't stray away from Eberron. In addition to my game, I wrote a couple of War-Torn submissions!

And look: I'm back! (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=305085)

This is his friend who is at his house to spend some time with him, and go to a con...

We spent like 8 hours on the boards last night.

I woke up this morning to log on as him and browse.

Hi, my boardname is GoodGuy89, and i'm a board-o-holic.
It all started on that fateful day in January, when I stumbled onto the boards after poking around at the DnD homepage. Soon, I was deeply emerged in the DnD boards, checking back every day.
Then, I played a little with the forum list, and soon found the Magic the Gathering boards. A consumate player, I quickly formed a bond with the YMtC board, and am now an Official Denizen.
Galen_Michael

09-11-04, 05:12 PM
Ok, so my name's Galen and I'm a board-a-holic. But mostly because I'm an Eberron-a-holic. I've never even really read or posted to message boards before Eberron. And that blasted Hellcow guy always posting with delicious tidbits, drawing me in! Curse him! ;)

Actually, I really enjoy this whole community, a lot.

I love you guys (and gals)! :)

Peace,
Galen

I would say that I'm a board-a-holic however I don't really think I am. I'm addicted to it I just have random sperts of time to post to this board really. I do tend to do a lot of posts at a but, I counteract this by not posting after that for days or weeks at a time and then coming back, cacthing up some and then moving on past what I missed.

My name is ChronosCrow and I'm a board-a-holic..."Well, I used to be."

"Huh? No, I've never been to Egypt, let alone swum in the river."

Anyone thinking of stopping think about this. If you stop visiting no one from the boards will ever post to you again! Makes you sad just thinking about it huh.

Sorry -- no time -- I've only got one hour left and I think I can squeeze in a few more answers on the Ask Keith thread...

Yeah, OK, I'm a board-a-holic. All too often, I've spent more time posting than doing my (paying) work, and if I'm not careful they will repossess my computer and I won't be able to post at all! Yikes!

I would like to give extra props to MarkB for the Ask Keith FAQ. FOr those who haven't read it, THAT'S where you should be searching for answers. Somehow he squeezed 64 pages into two pages, and I appreciate it!

Now, back to the boards...

09-18-04, 02:37 AM
Awww, I was gonna read through here, just to laugh a little and say "Glad I'm not one of those..."

*sob* But I am! I spend far too much time reading threads here, and while I stopped about 2/3 of the way through it (no thread should ever be 66 pages long... EVER), I did read the majority of the Ask Keith thread... and all of the FAQ... and I go through the Races and Classes board obsessive-complusively... and I love every minute of it *sob again*

...

I'm Greatfrito, and I too, and a board-a-holic.

*tears well up...*

I need icecream... NOW.
