Question: while in combat, is treading water a standard action, move action, or some other type of action? In particular, if a character is in the water and stops swimming to tread water in order to cast a spell with somatic components, can it be cast? Should any checks be made?

Boy, since pbem.com died it's been almost impossible to find D&D pbem games around these days... I'm a long-time pbem player, looking for one or two new games to join. A posting pace of two to three turns per week is ideal for me, any more than that gets to be too hard to keep up with given my...

There is also a game announcement section at www.pbemnexus.com, but nothing comes close to the listings as pbem.com. I emailed Ed and offered to look into the problem if he did not have time, but never heard anything back. I hope he is okay. I would hate to see pbem.com disappear.

On the whole B.U.B.B.A. thing...I did undergrad at the University of North Texas, where the administration only narrowly averted naming the student radion station KUNT after someone finally let them in on the joke.

I had my only two cavities drilled and filled without anesthetic or gas of any kind. I think the dentist was a lot more nervous than I was about it, too. :D Fortunately, I have a high tolerance for pain.

It was at a wedding in Houston. Fortunately, he was not a president at the time. And no, I'm not female and the quarterback had (still does, afaik) serious issues.

You win. End of contest.

Hmmm....I can't think of five at the moment, but here are the top 4: 1. Fell overboard on a Celebrity cruise in the Mediterranean (got another cruise free out of it!) 2. Slapped a living U.S. president 3. Was hit on by a famous professional quarterback...and declined. 4. Own the same set of...

For me, the user interface worked poorly. The screen would not follow characters as they moved so every time you moved the party to the edge of the screen, you either had to use the mouse to (very slowly) scroll up or hit the home key to re-center. The slow scrolling and screen centering issue...

The title is pretty self-explanatory. :D I can't find a website for them and it seems his account here does not allow emailing. Many thanks!

Hey Auld Gump-- I use a PSC 2210 at work at it can print in greyscale. Look under "Advanced" tab in the printer properties. Per HP though: "NOTE: The image may still print using the color cartridge to achieve some of the shades of gray. The HP all-in-one will use the color cartridge for...

That's a shame. I've really enjoyed the game once I got it patched and usable. It was very buggy right out of the box. I'm disappointed to hear Atari has such crappy business practices.

I have the game and love it! Got it new at Half-Price Books for $7. It is a pretty faithful implementation of the 3.5 rules and is generally flexible in game play. Your characters choose their feats and skills and create magic items, weapons, etc. just as the rules proscribe. They are some...
