Hey all, I recently moved over to Dublin and was wondering if their are any other EnWorlders in the area and whether or not they could direct me to good places to get a game going either as DM or player. Regards Zarrock

Hi all, I recently moved from my native land of Denmark, to Dublin, in order to take up different work down in new suburb Sandyford. I am coming to Ireland as a longtimer lover of Irish culture and music, and hobby historian with an undying fascination for Irish rebel tales. That being...

Yep. To round it off, in Danish its called "lig" and pronounced [lii]. Which pronounciation is older is probably almost impossible to determine, but the roots are clear. North Germanic (of which Danish and Swedish are a part) branched out from the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language...

Yeah. Alec Newman has been busy lately. He also played the part of the eternal warrior Drogyn in a few episodes (including the series finale) of Angel. -Zarrock

Actually, he just elaborated on the original statement. The original one is still there lower on the page ;). I think he has taken the main arguments pro and con his first press statement and integrated them nicely into this new statement. This should alleviate all the confusion about the...

That doesn't seem to be the case in the original books at least. I think Laurana was already like 80 years old when Tanis met her and she was considered "very young" by elven standards at the time. Likewise I once owned an old Dragon module that featured a teenage Elfmaiden (1st level character)...

Well, I can only speak for the market in Denmark, but here's what I've heard from people in the business. My source is the owner of my FLGS, in Aarhus, the second largest city of Denmark. He owns two stores called Goblin Gate one in Aarhus (my FLgS) and one in Aalborg (the third largest city in...

There's nothing in the rules per se that should prevent this. Vampirism can only affect humanoids and monstrous humanoids, though, at least when using the MM template. IF the fact that any lycanthrope also acquires the (shapechanger) subtype prevents blocks the vampire template requirement of...

Indeed they are, and they would be killed off immediately if that was only possible! :cool: -Zarrock

I think this post pretty much sums up the problem we have here in this argument - people are not talking about the same thing. Pretty much any argument that can run for this amount of pages and still hasn't reached an agreement is a sign of one of three things: 1. People don't want to agree. 2...

The "good dm, good players, desire to have fun" argument is all well and good and I'm sure everyone here agrees to it, but I don't see how it adds anything to a discussion of rules mechanics. You and I and most other EnWorlders may have the privilige of DMing or playing in such "good" groups...

If rules get confusing and discussion breaks up around uncertainties in the rules system, the game will be less fun. Bad rules do not necessarily "ruin the fun" but they certainly do not support it either. IMO, a good rule is a rule that is not felt during gameplay, that is clearly understood...

First of all? Why the attitude, I haven't managed to convince you of my position, but I am not questioning your motives, your character, or demeaning your mental abilities? I think that by "smarter" Sean means "with less repercussions for the core system". This is a concept well known the...

Well, firstly, I too can empathise with any genre and style. I dislike most romantic comedies, yet I believe that I can discern a good romantic comedy from a bad romantic comedy, and I DO understand why many people enjoy them. But to my mind any style and genre can be achieved within the ruleset...

I don't agree with this attitude Incenjucar for many reasons: 1. First - what's reasonable? I see nothing unreasonable about Sean K Reynolds motivations. Is reasonable agreeing with the majority? Is it agreeing to compromise even if it means giving up principles that you know for a fact to be...

Yes, you are correct Psion, the facts above are precise. At first level the Psionic human gains 3 extra pp and may choose any 1st level psion/wilder power. At 5th level they gain an additional 3 pp and a 2nd level power from the psion list. At 10th level they gain an additional 5 pp and a 3rd...

I'd like to know the answer to that question too, personally. It has a nice Terminatry feel and would be most welcomed in my DS campaign. ;) -Zarrock

That's a great idea. I completely forgot about the Dark Sun humans, I think I'll change my Dragonstar Talaire the same way (since my own Psionic Human template doesn't feel perfect). I forget great Dragon material way too often - they put out too much!!! :D -Zarrock

It's a very common term where I come from (5 kilometres north of the German border in Denmark). The Danish word is "fingerspidsfornemmelse" and it is indeed officially translated only as: "have a sure instinct, have flair," and "be tactful", the latter probably hitting closest to the head of the...

Yeah. I remember the Talaire. I find them very interesting and use them extensively in my Dragonstar campaign. Until now, I've used a tone down version of the "psionic creature" template and applied it to humans to create the Talaire. Elans are a bit different than my own initial conception of...
