    Party Treasure: How Do You Divvy?

    All items, magic and mundane, are divided based on who needs/can use them most. Sometimes one character comes away with more loot than another, but it all evens out in the end. Items that no one wants are sold or donated to local folks who need them (like MW weapons to the local militia)...

    Ten rules for player conduct

    OMG...you must have played with one of our old players...he hoarded magic items like you wouldn't believe and played solely for XP. And said as much. Needless to say...he lost. :) Ariel

    Ten rules for player conduct

    In a one-shot I played with a group of my husband's old gaming buddies, one girl was alternating between reading a "Wheel of Time" book and a Bible. Needless to say she had no clue what was going on at any given moment. I couldn't figure out what she was even doing there. Ariel

    EnWorlders of Color

    Go figure. I'm German-from-Russia, and my maiden name ended in the same last three letters as yours does. I was asked by a few people over the years whether I was Japanese or Chinese. :rolleyes: Usually pointing out my uber-white skin (or the sauerkraut and beer in my grocery cart), or...

    Why did you start the hobby?

    As a child I loved the fantastical - unicorns, pegasi, wizards and valiant knights on strong warhorses. I also loved mythology. I read a lot and had an active imagination, and loved playing make-believe. I heard of a game called Dungeons and Dragons but knew no one who played (I think a...

    [Evocations of the Archmagi] Submissions Closed

    Soooo...have the absolute final selections been made and e-mails sent to the submitters whose spells were accepted? Just wondering if I should keep checking my e-mail with hope and anticipation, or if I should just get on with the crying. ;) (All my submissions will see life in my campaigns...

    What deity does YOUR Cleric worship?

    I love playing clerics! In our main campaign I play a cleric/ranger/Harper Priest of Mielikki. I also have played a Cleric/Fighter/Doomguide of Kelemvor (one of the coolest gods in the FR pantheon, IMO). Ariel

    Whot be yer pirate name, feller?

    Arrrr! Captain Anne Kidd be me name! If me numbers are right three o' me kin are wandering the deck already! Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and...

    What stats do YOU have? What's your Alignment, Race and Class?

    I came up as a LG Half-Orc Fighter...but not a very good one. STR 9 DEX 7 CON 6 INT 15 WIS 16 CHA 12 I think my INT, WIS, and CHA scores came out fairly accurate, and probably strength too, but the DEX and CON seem reeeaaalllly low. I can almost see the lawful good, but Half-Orc Fighter...

    Giant ants ate my characters!

    While most of our party of 11 was battling a trio of trolls, a few went to investigate a noise down the hall. There they found our Bad Guy du Jour, an evil priest, and his three dire weasels. The fighter entered the fray, greatsword swinging...and was promptly dropped into unconsciousness by...

    Names for horses!

    In our main campaign, my characters have riding mares named Ashes and Moondancer. The pack mules are Henry and Layla. Before Layla there was a mule named Manshoon. ;) In our smaller campaign my character is already on her third horse, Pembleton (Tordek and Kelvin are in the big corral in the...

    New review of the Book of Erotic Fantasy

    Well, here's one, giving a rating of 4/5: http://www.enworld.org/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=JoeGKushner&product=BoEFP There was a second one that must have been a fan review (I remember it was edited by Psion for Eric's grandma's sake), but I can't find it now. Ariel

    New review of the Book of Erotic Fantasy

    I have been excited about and supportive of the Book of Erotic Fantasy since the day the news was announced (yes, even with that less-than-stellar press release). I have spent a great deal of time over the past few months at the Valar Project website ( www.valarproject.com ) and the more I have...

    Married with Children and D&D

    Married to the DM; we are childless by choice. One of our players is married with three teenagers (his oldest just started college), the other is single and in no hurry to settle down. Ariel

    [OT][Wife] My wife is going to kill me...

    Each pay day, always, always, always pay all your bills FIRST, then look at what you have left over. If you only have $60 left until the next pay day, and the fridge is empty, that D&D suppliment won't look so danged tempting. Or at least it shouldn't. Ditto to what several others have said...

    I'm a little late for the statistics, but here are two more (my husband already mentioned my main character, Zorra): Lithra (half-drow rogue/ranger) Narine (human Cleric/Fighter/Doomguide of Kelemvor [epic level]) I also had a wood elf ranger named Zandra in a short-lived PbEM game.

    How much do you really Roleplay and Immerse yourself in your character ?

    I voted for "All the time". In the main game I play in I have two characters, a male and a female (husband and wife). I never want the DM or any of the other players to wonder, "Is that Zorra talking, or Devin?" I use a stronger voice for Devin (speaking from the belly) and for Zorra I use my...

    Gameisms...

    "My ears fall off" - meaning the character rolled a 1 on a Listen check (this happens to the elves a LOT) "Combat's starting? Someone make coffee!" - a former player threw a fit after one game insisting that another player had asked him to make coffee in the middle of combat (no one did any...
