I'm a 3.5 DM, d20 player, and gamer by "trade". Have dreams of DMing professionally, but get that that ain't happening. I get that some people need help with rules, but I don't see the people who zero in on this being a site about mechanics. The rules are the rules and if someone is asking a question about the mechanics of an rpg here I'm assuming fhey haven't played or don't have the books... And that begs the question, "why here?" I typically ask discussion style questions with the goal of receiving "my answer", that is the best way to find an answer that fits the largest number of situations,I think. Or I'm looking for links to helpful places. I'll always jump at a helpful link. If I seem like a Big Richard my apologies. But I am a Big Richard.
