Average Score: 67.9% This merely confirms what I always believed: I am an RPG geek. Jim But I'm OK with that Maru That's cool. I forwarded the link to Dan. He did badly on System Knowledge, but got a 12.26% on Hacklust. (He started playing in 6th grade, and DMed some rather, um, interesting campaigns. Nothing like having 2 roommates in a campaign, one of whose characters keep doing stupid things or failing saving throws, and the other being unable to tolerate him anymore animating all the dead characters and using them for his own nefarious purposes. Dan never let him have more than 3 animated ones at a time, citing decay. And sometimes he'd sacrifice one or two spectacularly to save his own darn skin, of course) Overall, he had a purity score of 49.4%. BTW, if you're trying to create your own world and just happen to have easy access to AutoCAD for other reasons, you can have a lot of fun doing up your maps with it (Among other things, we developed a technique for getting more realistic coastlines that took some time, but resulted in something very nice.)

Mapmaking has always been my weakest GMing skill. Most of the other GM skills one could call core skills I'm adept at, but I've rarely ever been able to create I thought were as good as they could be.
