Hmm, last time i drowned in a huge barrel of beer. And son I returned as a lich with the whole brewery as my phylactery. Weird dream, but cool... The first thing i did then was go and kill Frank :]

Hey, thanx for all the good advice and the motivation! Meanwhile I used some time to have a closer look at those numbers and talked to some people who knew more. It seems that of this big number 5000 are people that are employed but have nothing to do but also can't be fired - yet. They will be...

No. 0E D&D is better all the way.

Thanx for the link, I appreciate it. "Sadly" I don't belong to the programming caste. I am an engineer and although I am trained in calculations, I loathe programming in any way. Anyways, I will soon start to complete my new applications and be assured that I will contact Accenture. And if there...

The sword became a favoured weapon because you can use it equally well for parrying as for attacking. Now Dwarves are known for their heavy armours. Thus if you don't need the defensive capabilities of a sword you go for weapons that deal lots of damage with little defense against them. Axes or...

Optimization focused character and good luck with dice. Well. Simply ask the monks player to help the others. When I rolled 13 nat 20es at one evening, I had to spend half of 'em to get the other players out of misery. Was fun. Arr, Matey! ;) Apart from that, maybe just watch KungFu Hustle with...

Yes it's not a nice thing. Be assured however, we applied exactly the same conditions to a crash-test-dummy we had no further use for and the results proved deadly for anyone who had not done a "falling training" before. Sad for him, interesting for the automotive industry.

Michikawa, how about the following: I like playing a piece from the Spartacus ballet by Katchaturian - the one is used as OST in ALIENS. Could you work something close to the theme into a mp3 that can be looped? I discovered that the players somehow know the theme, but can't put their finger on...

Kid, give me an offer and I am off. Here it is all about making people afraid so that they work more hours unpayed and generally advancing the "you are close to being fired"-method. I really couldn't care less for this way of inner-company-dealings. Sad thing is that my field of specialty isn't...

I guess we have a different understanding of the books content. The book says that the encounters may still have the same "tresures" and that the "treasures" are still distrivuted equally. Only that the "poor monk" will spend his money on things helping poor beings. Thus nothing is different...

Hi Banshee! For one thing I, personally, am happy to hear that the player in question really uses all mean tricks he has for eploiting the strengths of a monk as stripping and such. I have seen too many monks played like "I charge and...don't hit? Crappy Char, I roll up a new one!" So I donÄt...

Wow a lot of good advice here. Still I want to stress one point: If you like her, like Pielorinho said, be absent. IF she likes being with you, she will let you know. If she doesn't call/write/whatever on her part - she's not worth thinking about her any further. Or would you like a partner who...

That explicitly goes against the advice given by the BOED: it states that the "poor char" gets the standard share but except for keeping it he will spen it to some organization. The other chars shouldn't be affected by one player yearning for poverty...

Or it can be dependant on your field of expertise. I work in a purely technical field and my experiences until now have been bad to worse. Human resources (which is a term I despise as it is!) seem to prefer technical personal as "sacking potential" before looking at other parts of the company...

Arnwyn, sure, reducing personel reduces costs. But on the opposite: our team called for additional employees for 4 years now. We are working on a software with about 20 people (not too much, I know) and had to turn down offers of the industry because we don't have enough resources. Until now we...

Your post reads like you and the other players lost part of your fun when that "poor monk" joined. The first thing I would check would be if the player would push the cause of the vow of poverty in character or only use it as an advantage. If the latter is the case, talk about it to the player...

For one the division they are going to cut most is not the one making negative numbers, it's just the more technical one, so I guess managers simply don't understand what it's good for. Also the same division is making good gross profit. On the other hand I didn't know they had Zeta as...
