Yeah, the rules are pretty broken all right. I'm waiting for the third edition to come out personally. I hear they are adding a feat you can take that makes them sleep through the night, which would be rather nifty.

We just had a baby boy. Yeah yeah, congratulations etc etc. But check this out: Evan Hughes at 2 weeks old Weight: 9lb 2oz – on the 90th percentile (heavier than 90% of all babies) Height: 56cm – on the 100th percentile (taller than 100% of all babies) There is no doubt about it; those are...

Check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/ as they regularly have excelent dramatisations of Holmes stories, click "listen again" and get em for free.

That's a bit harsh. She probably enjoyed the trip, on whatever level - better than staring at the walls. People with learning difficulties should be out there doing stuff, not locked away so no one can see them (not that you were saying that they should be obviously)

I've just signed up, although I'm sure to regret it.

I was a bit of a bully in school. Not physical but I did a lot of teasing and making fun at other's expense. The main people i did this to were people on the fringes of my friendship group. I wasn't alone in this, my friendships have always been based on a mutual sense of humor and sometimes...

I'm a mental health nurse - not that that really qualifies me over other people. Sometimes you just have to make a choice between tolerating difficult people (but being awair of their faults and trying not to put too much value on what they say) and basically cutting someone out of your life...

Hey it was my vote and I'll do with it as I please. Sheesh. The whole counterspelling thing just strikes me as extreamly frustrating. I can't stand it when my games get bogged down with all these niggly rules. I fully admit that's just me, and I can apreciate that some people enjoy poring...

I'm going for the Improved Counterspell as well. Never even been tempted to look up the rules for counterspelling to be honest.

Me too if it's not too much trouble. dghughes28 and my account is at yahoo.co.uk thanks

But have fine taste in radio comedy, and fliptop knees.

It does seem that ENworld is full of southern jessies. I'm from Huddersfield and have been gaming for about 10 years now. I'm married with a one year old daughter and work as a psyciatric nurse. My NPC's tend to have either yorkshire or irish accents, which is all I seem able to do. I can...

The best thing for me about them is the sheer transportability of them. Compaired to my old (glass) gaming table, they are a dream. Yes I know a battlemat would be transportable too, but not as versatile.

It seems that social anxiety is raising it's head quite a bit on the boards at the moment. I think I mentioned this in another thread, but I'll say it again - in my view CBT is the best treatment of choice for this condition. A good CBT self help guide is: Overcoming Social Anxiety: A...

Relaxation has always been the key for me. I've been told the "tense and release" (i.e. tense your leg, then relax it) isn't very effective although I've always found it so. The current thinking (at least in my workplace) is just concentrating on each individual part of your body starting...
