Does EN World have plans to start using TLS?

Even a quick "Sorry guys, the campaign fizzled due to scheduling difficulties" would be nice as a confirmation. ... OTOH, hope springs eternal. This SH is the reason I started playing D&D as an adult.

I know this is blatantly offtopic, but do you read Something Positive, Piratecat? Today's comic reminded me of you. S*P and Other Comics

You left off option D: Present, active, working in Mysterious Ways. ;) For some reason, nobody ever believes me when I tell them that I'm on a mission from God...

I could very much see a Paladin of the Blood making a career in Eberron. Every time you shed the blood of the wicked, you're that much closer to divinity! ... hey, that's where the scan-and-smite paladins come from! The Blood of Vol, not the Silver Flame! :lol:

It's an understandable sentiment (and I think the word is technically fisticuffs, btw) A friend of mine used to have this as his sig: "Problems with your gaming group/GM/player(s)? Sit down and have an intelligent, adult discussion with them to achieve a reasonable compromise. And when that...

Nothing comes to mind right away, but you could probably find something on the CR 3 list in the Pathfinder SRD: Monsters by CR - Pathfinder_OGC Most of the monsters there seem like mooks or obstacle challenges, though, not bosses. That list gives me this idea, but it's kind of situational: A...

I like this, but I'd add another wrinkle: The dragons could muster sufficient power to wipe out the elves, but that would fatally weaken them somewhere in southern Argonnessen, where some other threat lurks. Or maybe they just aren't well-organized enough to muster the forces necessary to deal...

I'm actually thinking about buying these. They look nice, and I think the Pathfinder iconic heroes are pretty cool. That said, I have a hard time justifying RPG-related purchases to myself. I used to subscribe to the Pathfinder adventure paths, and I canceled that when I realized that I might...

Based on WOTC's edition churn in the past, I'll be surprised if 5.0 is released later than 2013.

Not all entertainment is created equal. $8 for a movie ticket ... $20 for a baseball game ... $100 for a Lady Gaga concert ... all covering about the same amount of time. Using the same logic as the movie ticket comparison but subbing in "music concerts by big-name stars" instead, we can...

First, welcome to ENWorld! :) Second, I think a pacifist Cleric is VERY ambitious in any D&D game. It's a game about killing monsters and taking their stuff, after all. Third, going with a pacifist character in a group that's all about hack'n'slash won't go well. If they're interested in a...

A common comparison, but not an appropriate one, I think. Who goes to movies once a week? Who can AFFORD to go to the movies once a week? Certainly not me -- things like mortgage, food, and gas come in at higher priorities. One of the nice things about tabletop RPGs is that they're supposed...

I'd play just about anything, with three exceptions: 3.0, 4.0, and SW Saga. 3.0 because I've played too much 3.5, so my rules intuition would get in the way. 4.0 because I don't think that edition sounds fun. SW Saga because I find some of the rules quirks really annoying. I'd give it another...

But pronouncing a Command Word for a Magic Item is a Standard Action...I think I remember reading that in the PHB...
