ENsults are the only kind of insults allowed on EN World. Just have to say...this thread and the situation which (may or may not have) started it are annoying to hear about, and it's maddening that we can't get an answer to the darn thing. I'm with you. But... Those of you talking about (I'm...

We need to hear from the DM. I don't care how he runs his game; I'm starting to hate his guts just for refusing to visit this thread. ;)

Edgar.

Watch the movies. Although the original is a bona fide classic of the form, the remake will be helpful with ideas for action sequences. All Flesh Must Be Eaten probably has plenty of non-system-specific info.

I think Roman should be banned if he can't give us the answer. Just kidding! :D (kind of) There's only one way to solve a Gordian knot. Hack the bastard in two. :D Three lesser temples...three symbols on the puzzle. All three symbols combined into one big picture...within the "big" evil...

I've been forced to reconstitute myself several times. It's not easy.

For the record, I am completely against the deletion of people based on the content of their posts, and I wish the Moderators would stop doing it. As for the Mongoose PDF, I think it's pretty damn funny. Lowbrow, not incredibly clever, and don't seek any depth...but funny. "She called me a PC...

To me, "conversion" always seemed a matter of looking in your preferred edition of the Monster Manual rather than at the published stats in the module. Yeah, this can throw off the level requirements, but that's why you do it the night before the game rather than day of. Anywho, long story...

Except they just played that game for 6 hrs. "ZOMBIES!!!" is a great board game that can be played in under 4 hrs., easily. "Carcassonne" is another fantastic boardgame; it's won all kinds of awards in the past few years. There's also a board game called "Puerto Rico" that's fun if you dig...

d20 Modern: WINGS of ICARUS We're halfway through Season 2, and also halfway through the entire 3-season storyline. Acting on the whispered words of a compatriot, who then fell into a coma, the team traveled to Las Vegas, Masonic Lodge No. 523. There they did battle with the gang called Street...

I've finished editing most of Yggsburgh--Hi Gary!--and I can tell you it would be quite easy to convert/substitute material to make it 3.5-compatible. This is going to be a great series; it has a classic feel to it. Certain sections gave me that "Keep on the Borderlands" tingle, and I mean that...

Sliding scale A sliding scale is the most realistic answer, I think. Meaning: the more experienced the GM, the more he can get away with. A new GM is going to need to know the system inside out, while a very experienced GM will have little trouble running a game of at least as high quality...

My vote is "Power Attack the Fighter and Wizard next," but that's not in your poll. Alternately, "dump salsa over the heads of the fighter's and wizard's players" would work.

Can you edit the link in your first post, please? I got needlessly hassled.

Just want to get a last post in here before things get locked down... Wulf, I completely see your point. Different stats do indeed equal a disparity in the odds over time. But the game is not based purely on numbers. If we were talking about a computer RPG, where nothing happens but what is...
