What is the name of a person who professionally tends to an orchard? Might it depend on the crop? Are they just farmers? I'd imagine there'd be a more specific term...

I've been out of the loop for a bit, so excuse my 4E innocence. I've noticed a few references to triple starting hit points, but I didn't see anything about that on our 4E Info Page. Is this confirmed (as much as anything)? Source? Or is it such common knowledge that it's truth is taken for...

Mine are a mess. I think all of the non-D&D books are in one box, my 1E books in another, and same with 2E, my 3E and 3.5 are scattered about, except for my Psionics Handbook, which I use as a handy writing surface. All my adventures (from all editions) are in another box. My magazines, however...

Here's the skill I wrote up, which is basically the Scent ability with a chance of failure. The key to not having to spread thin creature skill points is by giving racial bonuses to Scent checks. In fact, in many cases where a creature had Track as a bonus feat and +X to Survival, simply...

I think it's from Star Tropics, an adventure game for the NES. I can't remember who that NPC is, or why he says that, though.

That's why I said "actively" instead of "obsessively" :o ;)

I'm looking for a game that can be played by only two players. My girlfriend and I need something to actively do together around the house. I don't know many board games aside from the classics like Risk, Monopoly, chess, etc. And most of those games are much more suited to a group of people...

It was issue #180.

Here's one any whip wielder could use. At a Ren Faire, there was an entertainer by the name of Whip Boy. A decent portion of his act was making fun of members of the audience. When one person next to me said something stupid, Whip Boy looked at him, wiggled his whip through the air (handle...

Hrmm... I'm still torn. The people who voiced their dislikes voiced the ones that I was particularly worried about. However, the subscription price comes to about $1.11 per adventure... that's pretty hard to argue with. I think I'll have to flip a coin or something. Are any of the older...

Three adventures per month? So I take that to mean that it's gone monthly, and things like SideTreks are gone? Oh, and I certainly would stop by my FLGS and pick up a copy, but my FLGS isn't so L :( Actually, I just went there last night, and they didn't have either Dungeon or Dragon magazine...

When 3E came out, I let my subscription die. It seemed like their "back to the dungeon" theme translated to "gone with the plot". :\ Is the magazine still like that? Is it better? How many adventures per magazine nowadays? And they threw Polyhedron out of Dungeon, didn't they?

Yes! Ah, that reminds me of good times... :confused:

I can't remember the name, but it was the beer in China. This stuff.... PBR should only be sipped from a golden chalice compared to the chinese beer. It came in a green bottle, and seemed to be the only beer served in the PRC. I drank it every meal, since it was often the only cold liquid to...
