Ooh, I like this idea alot also... Here are some pictures of giant vultures (taken by me, copyright me) feel free to use them for inspiration and such. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=25142 p.s. Buzzards aren't vultures at all.

So if I recall correctly the NorCal gameday is Saturday, Nov 8th. I may be able to make it, if there are enough interesting things going on. But, for the past few weeks I haven't seen any threads giving details on where it's going on, who's hosting it, what games are being played, who's...

I've had two late game Ironman save destroyed by crashes, one of them was the same rescue-thrommel-return-to-hommlet crash that Dreeble mentioned. I've pretty much played out the game, and feel that unless the patch adds something pretty special I'm done with it (where is the patch btw, lol)

Sigh, I was about 1/3 through the game in Ironman mode when I faced a near tpk, but managed to prevail and find and make it out of the temple and back to Hommlet, only to get a crash to desktop, and corrupted save. So much effort wasted. btw

The other wizard thanked me profusely, and gave me his entire share of the treasure from that encounter, ~3500gp. Using the wish against the Mind Flayers wasn't really a good idea, as they have spell resistance (which I was pretty sure the DM had raised from its normal value), and they'd...

I got to use the spell wish today, for the first time, well, ever. Ok, so it was actually Limited Wish, and from a scroll, but still, it was great. Two Mind Flayers had their tentacles attached to the other wizard in the party's head, this guy was not going to survive long. I got the best...

What I've heard, and it makes alot of sense, is: Vulcans: Japanese Romulans: Chinese Klingons: Russians The major alien races in Star Trek were based off some of the major world powers at the time.

Yay, always the last to celebrate the new year. Anyways, ummm... may all your treasure rolls be high.

I just wrote up a quick little encounter for my players, just four Kobolds (with 21 character levels between them :D ). I figure it'll throw my players for a pleasant surprise, given that in the previous encounter they fought a band of Ogres which actually had a lower CR's and an equivalent EL...

I put alot of care into designing my encounters, and because the PC's are part of a major plot I want them to survive. This means that if (hasn't happened yet) a PC dies in my campaign I consider it my fault. Luckily the players are pretty good at not getting themselves killed and play...

I run a D&D session in Costa Mesa bi-weekly, and would consider adding another player. Right now we're at 5th level, in a somewhat non-standard campaign, and are attempting to do more roleplaying then hack and slash. Currently there are five people in my group, including myself. Two of...

Well, I bought Oathbound yesterday, and am very pleased with it. I didn't even intend to buy it when I was at the FLGS, but the jellyfish sealed it. In fact, I made it well enough known how pleased with it I was that I may have talked myself into running an Oathbound campaign, meaning that...

I think != only has meaning in some programming languages (AFAIK), so I'm guessing the answer to be when it equals zero/false.

Wow, on looking at the sample for Oathbound from the website I'm quite impressed, and already thinking of ways to incorporate it into my campaign. I'm especially looking forward to surprising my players with a well developed 'off world' setting that they know nothing about. After all the PC's...

Oops, my mistake, Winter Wights don't make an appearance in ToH. That really would have made things tough in that adventure.
