Many department and grocery stores hire people to do restocking during the night. They frequently include a shift bonus that makes the pay sort of reasonable. And they all have trouble getting reliable people who actually show up and work most of the time. So there is a good chance of makeing...

Much to my unsurprise I continue to be the oldest on this forum. The only one born before WWII ended.

Yea, I get the joke. You actually have your theme played when you walk in. Mine: Dirty Old Man by the Fugs

Saw "The Green Berets" in Viet Nam with live artillary being fired overhead. In a pickup basketball game got to guard the "little" guy on the other team. He was 3 inches taller than me and lead the ABA one year in 3 shots made and was #4 all time on ABA for 3 pt %. I didn't do so well. Had my...

If you want a melee oriented rogue I think the best muticlass option is barbarian. The D12 for hp is nice. You might even consider it for your first level just for short term survivability. The fast movement is very useful for flanking (sometimes letting you avoid an AOO altogether). The levels...

I expected to only get my own posts but strangely there are 2 others with QAARAL in them. One is from a gardening site that seems to be half English and half gibberish (it looks like a cipher). The other is a search result from some sort of protein data base. By some weird coincidence it's from...

An alternative to the druid tha no one's mentioned is the Spirit Shamen. Like a sorcerer but with the druid spell list and the known spells are selectable each day.

Well, you can take 17 levels of monk.

So far I'm the oldest person responding. Young wippersnappers, in my day we had to walk 5 miles through snow up to our waists to game. Up hill both ways.

I alternate pictures of Sterling castle, Edinburgh castle and the Scottish highlands I took on my last vacation.

In regard to all this taking 20 and searching every 5 foot square, my dungeons tend to be in use locations. Guards come and go from their posts, lackies come to supply rooms to fetch stuff, etc. Even if the area is nominally abandoned there tend to be monsters that have taken up residence that...

I consider I started real gaming when I got A-H Gettysburg game in 1959. I played that sort of game until 1970-71 when I got into miniature gaming then into D&D in the late 70's. Mini's and D&D in various combs lasted until the late 80's when we pretty much dropped RPG's. Got back into it with...
