Unfortunately, En World cannot continue at this rate. $400 per month?! Good lord. I would be interested in knowing how much Revenues this site generates. It is very short-sighted (and, I must say, astoundingly irresponsible) to simply live on a shoe string budget without paying your bills...

Everyone, tell us about your games, please. 1.) How many players in your group? 5 (sometimes 6) Players, 1 DM 2.) Do you DM? 75% of the time. 3.) Do other people in the group DM, and how many? 1 other also DM''s, swapping the job with me on occasion 4.) What's the Male/Female composition...

Vito of the Dwarves (as he called himself) Vito is an average-sized Halfling with a bit of a dark streak. His slightly-oiled, black hair is smoothed back over his head, cut just above his shoulders. He wears a loose-fitting shirt that just barely reveals a tattoo on his chest (naught but a...

I should add that I think DM's Familiar has the most power (in my testing so far, at least.) It is simply just not user friendly enough for the ordinary joe blow, which I am=)

Untrue. In fact, one can log into the support locations for both of these tools and see questions by moi that have been ignored. DMF has a yahoo list. I estimate that it was about a week ago that I posted 2 to 3 questions (maybe 10 days ago.) Never received any response. Now, I have not...

Check out the Living Web in my signature. They have online games going all of the time.

Thanks for the positive feedback above. Your efforts will be utilized, in part or in whole, in the upcoming sessions! Jones

Wow...I didn't know that... I am now wondering how much other stuff on my pc is shareware vs being free....I am usually in such a hurry to get something installed (free time is valuable these days), I don't really check. I've had one version or another of Tablesmith for awhile, so I certainly...

You should definitely check out the Tablesmith and Campaign Sage that was mentioned. Both are free and I think the Tablesmith is a godsend. In addition, I have recently tried and tested the others listed above, and absolutely NONE match the quick response you get on ALL queries about...

One question in my other thread that has gotten overlooked regards grappling. I am fairly confident on how it works and have had many grapples that have seemed fair and balanced in the end. But, oddly, I never considered how to deal with the following, and would love some advice (this has not...

I absolutely agree that the rules do not specifically deal with a situation like this, but it is my goal to use the rules to answer my question (vs. a house rule.) I did contemplate starting this in the House Rule thread, but I'm not really all that interested in introducing completely new...

Yeah, that's it. Let's say that all hell is breaking loose and a Flayer manages to successfully get ahold of one of the heroes, and gets all tentacles attached....the countdown begins. The hero attempts to wrestle free, but fails! I want heroic possibilities for the hero's comrades to...

Yeah, number 3 is something I hope they try, but they probably will not. Thanks for the ideas. Much appreciated.

Ok, not sure I understand either of those answers. What do you mean use the 'aid section'? An outside character is trying to pull off 1 or 2 tentacles. I guess you may be saying that someone can join the melee and grant the current target (with the tentacles attached to him) a +2 bonus to his...

Ok, gotta a question. Here are the facts : If a Mind Flayer hits w/one tentacle, it auto-initiates a grapple (i.e., does not have to make the normal touch attack) Goes on to say that it may use its Grapple check to attach all of its tentacles at this point. Then, finally, it says that if it...
