What kind of transport is there from DC to Leesburg at night? And is there anything going back into DC later at night? Also, my weekends are more free now that rowing season is over (I coach, and March to November is booked). So it wouldn't necessarily have to be only weeknights. Yeti, are...

Yeti, Tohoshie: Where do you guys work; close to DC maybe? We could start something up...

Yeti, If you find a weekday game around here, let me know.

Let me preface this by saying that I usually look for solutions within the base classes before expanding to .alt mechanics. What about the Rogue class? The skillset is entirely there, with Perform, Diplomacy, Linguistics, Sleight of Hand, and the tricky stuff that a Bard has. They have the...

So you're not looking for another player, then?

It was not a meteorite that Nwm used; rather an orbital Incredible Hulk, who has been getting increasingly GREEN and upset at the lack of oxygen. Therefore we have witnessed a Transvalent HULK SMASH. Therefore Hummaz is Bruce Banner. Obviously.

It's even simpler than that: Countersong. At 1st level, a bard learns to counter magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that have verbal components.) Each round of the countersong he makes a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sing) skill check. Any creature within 30...

I'm looking to join a group that games on weeknights in the DC area, preferably in northern Virginia. I'd rather 3.5/Pathfinder, but I'm willing to try anything. If there are folks who want to game, but no current game is running, I'll DM. In which case: 3.5/Pathfinder.

Isn't this why wizards have arrayed in front of them fighters, barbarians, clerics, summoned monsters and other various obstacles to getting right next to them? Sure Silence can be a bugger, but it's not so easy as simply walking up next to the wizard and hitting him; if that were the case...

"Tian Xia", eh? So who's the cever bugger over at Paizo that studied Chinese? Heh heh. Or maybe you're a fan of the movie Hero? James, I have to say that I've been on an RPG hiatus since ~August 07, but finding these threads and reading through your online SRD has given me the itch again...

[I use the word coward a few times in this post; it is not derrogatory: simply one who has not had the opportunity to measure their bravery, or for one who chooses flight (perhaps wisely) instead of fight for preference.] I think you'll appreciate this adage: "Bravery isn't the absence of...

In high school my roomates and I spent hours playing X-Com and listening to the Hendrix Experience. LB, I get so immersed reading your updates, I swear I hear Hey Joe in the background.

Chaotic Evil. ---Chaotic by his willingness to follow or flaunt the ruling authority depending upon how closely aligned the goals of that authority are compared with his own. ---Evil by his willingness to visit punishment to those innocent of action, but potentially guilty of knowledge. Who...

Rich Burlew: Thumbing his nose at Belkar-detractors for 4 years running. WIN!

For some reason, this otherwise off-hand line stuck out even among the Bellagio fountain of awesome that is Sep's campaign. It manages to impart mystery and uncertainty into the world with the relatively mundane while surrounded by prose describing the run-up to Armagaeddon: though fantastic and...

Ok: it's missing the 3e concept of character advancement, which I liked very much, and has substituted an alternate 4e method of character advancement, which I don't. It's not fair or unfair: it's preference. Though I suggest that 3e had more of the flexibility at level-up within a class that...

Ehh... yeah. Also true to an extent. But feats every 3 levels mitigates that. And if you want to stay within one class: Barbarians don't have much in the way of choice. Paladins are pretty shoe-horned. These guys are the most restrictive. Fighter gets his feats. Rangers get weapon styles and...

As to what 4e is missing, I don't think we can say it's missing much in terms of options because to be fair, it's only been out for a few months while 3.x has had 8 years. But what the base mechanics are missing is a built-in sense of flexibility. How can I say it doesn't lack options but does...

And there are many different ways to do 2W damage and shift one square. ;)

Freaking sweet. The pot of very purple paint approaches!
