Re: Bug It is designed so that you can choose to wield a weapon in two hands that you could, if you wished, wield only in one hand, and thereby gain the Str x 1.5 bonus. Balsamic Dragon

The other problem is the question of whether ECLs should affect when you get extra stat points and feats. In my games, the ECL level does affect this, which makes things harder to program in ETools. The approach I have tried, as yet without success, is to create a new class that gives...

SPOILERS!!!! I did indeed do many of the subplots. From what I can remember: Chapter 1: (Main plot) Get four parts of cure, bring em back. (Thief) Steal three art objects, bring em back. (Mage) Get four components, bring em back. (Cleric) Find four tombs w/ stuff, bring...

I did try it online once. My computer is not very fast, so instead, I played at a friends house. It was very strange... I tend to roleplay more than most when I play these games. I invent backstories for my characters, have little conversations between them, etc... So I thought...

Because ALL computer gaming software is ridiculously buggy and has design flaws. And the computer that you will run it on will invariably crash and burn for no apparent reason. I learned this lesson the hard way, back when I assumed that, because I had paid money for a game, it should work...

I finally got through chapter 1, after restarting the game many, many times, decided that the only part of NWN I enjoyed was, in fact, character creation, played a little bit into Chapter 2 and quit. NWN is now off my computer, making a nice space that will be filled by Icewind Dale II :)...

That's because we have the best ice cream :) Hope you have fun in Boston! Stop by Pandemonium Books and Games in Harvard Square if you get the chance! Balsamic Dragon

CAREFULLY, cover the paper on boths sides with metal baking sheets to expose only a half-inch of paper and burn the edges off with a match. This, combined with coffee or lemon juice treatment will result in a nice fantasy look. Roll up and tie with ribbon, or, even better, seal with wax...

My husband is a gamer! Shocking, I know, it's so rare to find real male gamers ;) But I think most problems with gamer/non-gamer couples definitely boil down to the time commitment. Most gamers I know are in two or more games per week. That's 8 hours of gaming, plus 2 hours of getting...

In my campaign, the players have two intelligent weapons: One is a two-handed sword named Dren's Daughter. This is a leveled weapon (from the Dragon article) weilded by the paladin in the party. She is more empathic than actually intelligent, but is getting more communicative as she is...

Lucky! Can I play too? Balsamic Dragon

I once ran a Sailor Moon game for 5 players (4 male and 1 female) in which all of the characters were 15 year old Japanese school girls :) I drew pictures of them all to help out with visualizing the characters. To their credit, all the guys did a great job! Akisuki (aka Sailor Uranus) is...

Re: Re: Thanks! WE WILL RULE THE WORLD!!! MUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oops, did I say that out loud? Nothing to worry about, no female gamers here... waiting to plot our eventual takeover... of course not! Balsamic Dragon

I do something similar to this. I give descriptions for the first few rounds, attempting to describe for each attack a different type of bonus that the creature receives (natural armor, armor, dexterity, magic, etc...) Then after a few rounds, if it is a large combat, I will tell them what the...

Can you post a link to the previous thread? BD

I just got ETools today! Having listened to much griping on the boards, I expected in advance that it would be buggy and quirky and ugly, however I am pleasantly surprised thus far! The most important thing to me was that, having read and thus being able to avoid the most common...

Well, I'm Jewish, not Christian. There are still some people in the south who think we are demonic ;) Balsamic Dragon

Several of the people I game with are gay. Plus those who are bi, plus those who are poly,... it's all good :) However, the weird thing is that I know about three times the number of gay gamers than I do non-white gamers! Not sure why this is, it's something I've wondered about frequently...

Never mind, I just figured out that you can put up multiple stuff, so I put everything I've played recently :) BD

Do you mean, what are we playing now? Or what do we usually play? Also, some of these overlap a bit :) Balsamic Dragon
