If you have it, Microsoft OneNote is pretty handy for GMing.

I third the notion of "DM's wife = not much will be changed, might as well find a new group". I second the notion to knock off the red text. The white on black here is hard enough for me...red on black means I didn't even read the post. EDIT: making this post triggered me to check out the...

Certainly. I guess my post wasn't worded clearly. I meant if you happen to be rolling a d4, there's a good possibility you are untrained in the skill, with the likely exception of combat-related skills that even people who are primarily non-combatants will at least put a point in to avoid the -2.

Chances are, if you're rolling that d4 (which has a better chance to "explode"), you're also untrained and taking a -2 to your roll. Assuming the TN is 4 (the standard) or higher, even if you roll a 4, you still have to roll it again and get enough to beat the TN. Of course, as a Wild Card...

This type of situation exists in other entertainment sectors as well, it's just a way for the company (Paizo) to make more money. Valve Software runs Steam which is a digital distribution platform for their PC games, as well as nearly every other new PC game coming to market from various...

Terria, Accelerated Evolution, and the two new ones, Ki (which is a bit of a departure from previous stuff) and Addicted are also great. If you like the heavier side of Devy, I recommend checking out Strapping Young Lad. YouTube - Strapping Young Lad - Oh My :):):):)ing God

Slough Feg is a favorite of mine. Traveller is a fantastic album. Have you heard Hammers of Misfortune? Scalzi was a part of the band until the most recent double album, and they're also quite good. ... My metal collection is pretty big. Right now I'm digging a new wave of Black Metal (Some...

It'd be nice to figure out where it's from, since he obviously didn't draw it himself judging from his other works.

Well, He admits right there he's pulling it from Morrowind (Elder Scrolls III). And apparently Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura as well. Not justifying the theft in any way, just pointing out that it he basically admits he's lifted this work.

Out of curiosity, what store? (I'm in Omaha.)

I haven't heard anyone talk about getting rid of the defenses feats. I don't think they're seen as "must-have" like the expertise feats are. At least, they aren't in my group.

At least you probably won't experience the grind! :P I agree with the above advice of using minions liberally. Without any area of effect damage dealers, minions are going to be a bigger threat to your party, as one character can't take them all out in one attack. Make sure you use them to...

With one character sacrificing themself, was this supposed to be "the end" of the campaign for that group? If so, depending on what info they already know about the ring, since you only have two players, you could explore the option of having them BOTH sacrifice themselves. Maybe to form 1...

Try talking to your DM. Let them know it's bothering you. I ran into a similar situation with a campaign once in 3.5...we had a ship full of higher level NPCs who saved our asses all the time...it was annoying...felt like our PCs weren't the heroes. We didn't talk to the DM and the campaign...

I'd also like some more info on what you expect attendance to be like, session lengths, range of activites (all RPGs [and is there a range of games/systems being played]? Board gaming? CCG? Minatures?) KC is not a far drive for me, and I have family there so staying a weekend down there would...
