It's really really funny to see all players head-nod to the rhythm and then collectively realize that we look like a "Night at the Roxbury" skit.<br/><br/>Cool anecdote. Looking forward to Eric/Cruger's answer. :) Our current music-list is mostly Headnotic Electro….

From a fellow ‘Method Actor’ type, I must give you huge kudos for pulling off a gay (male) character; I’m really impressed. I haven’t seen that done well - or at all! - more than once or twice. Any tips on that one?

In close combat, with the stances and maneuvers it is a deadly warrior that helps the other in the group. I think it will be a great adventure. Since we are also planning on going in the planes that will add a new dimension to the games we used to play (did I said dimension, huhu!). <br/><br/>As for the music, you must know that they play lounge, elevator music during D&D. ARRGGGG! I would better like some Linkin Park, Disturb or anything that trash a bit (specially during fights).<br/><br/>Phil's a great DM and a super friend. I've been playing with him for the last 5 years already and it has been a lot of fun. He is really patient with me (lots of distractions from my part and him explaining the rules to me). Also what's cool with him is that he tries real hard that each of us has his spotlight time during each games. I've experienced a lot of DMs in the past (been playing for 20y) but I really like Phil' style.<br/><br/>Thanks buddy!
