    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    I'll continue to scratch and claw my way toward that covetted 8th level so I can add to another stat. At 4th I went from an 11 CON to a 12 CON, so at 8th something else gets the treatment. The stat increase will likely got to Rowan's Charisma or Wisdom. Most likely charisma would make sense...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Hey Old One, Any time I can help with the details or at least some of the color I'll lend my assistance. It's a nifty story, we don't want to deprive the readers of the fun. :D Besides, I like reading back over it all too. I need to sit down and go over it from the beginning to refresh on...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    The actual exchange between the party and acting Bishop Patroclian was far from cordial and polite. It started well, but ended with angry disagreement about the Berylian Edicts, the proscritption of the religious beliefs of Rowan and Cragen, and the view of The Light by each side in the...

    Need some tactics.

    Those same questions crossed my mind too. :) Perhaps she's aware of being watched and plans to teleport strike first or maybe choose the ground so that the heroes jump into a counter ambush. Heck, maybe someone on her side is a powerful illusionist and the heroes think they're scrying her...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    I'm glad to see some folks who come running at the sound of a bump. Even though that bump is usually the party's backside hitting the ground hard. :)

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Regarding 3.5, no we're content to stick with 3.0 for the time being. Making the change now would kind of put some odd twists to the characters as they exist. We voted to remain 3.0 until such time as the changes wouldn't make as much difference. Well, we played yesterday and man is this...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Actually, the "smiles" Old One saw around the table were many forced grimaces with us all gritting our teeth in disgust at realizing our real quarry had managed to escape our grasp and sat on the riser before us. Now it would be impossible for us to touch him and even though we got away with a...

    Chiming in on the D&D minis (merged with "anyone buying the new Mini's?")

    1> Mini's aren't made necessary, but certain combat tactics are easier to take advantage of using minis. 2> I don't see this as a bad thing. I've been looking for something like this for over 20 years. Frankly I'm feeling they these are WAY overdue. Glad they're being done. 3. Just because...

    Chiming in on the D&D minis (merged with "anyone buying the new Mini's?")

    Sorry Azlan, but I have to disagre with you on a couple of points. 1> I'm certainly not interested in collecting them. My reasons for being interested is for cheap, pre-painted representations of critters for D&D use. I don't need them, but it is nice to have the option. 2> Arguing that someone...

    Chiming in on the D&D minis (merged with "anyone buying the new Mini's?")

    I got a chance to see about $200 worth of these yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised by the detailing of a fair number of them. Yes, some are low end paint jobs and I do agree that more contrast would help in identifying them at a distance. The pre-production models I saw several months ago...

    [OT] Cool name for a heavy/thrash metal band...???

    Wouldn't you know it, there's a website by this title which is a fan site for an Anime with adult themes some of which are nasty. I just googled and found it. http://coco.raceme.org/literature/angelsanctuary/englishindex.php The opening screen contains the disclaimers, but nothing immediately...

    Something interesting that happened in a game last night...

    My big problem with the whole called shot thing is this ... aren't you always trying to get in the best possible shot during combat? If not then why are you goofing off when your life is at stake? Seems to me that the whole called shot thing is assumed in the system and that is where criticals...

    Hurricane Isabel and ENWorlders

    Cool, I'll be looking for your email. Since I get a vitual TON of spam please mention the game party in the subject line if possible. Things went well for me. No damage to car or residence. We definitely lucked out that it didn't come up the bay. Based on the info and pictures I've seen even...

    Hurricane Isabel and ENWorlders

    I'm with you, I think from looking at the updated projections that there's a very good chance it's coming right at us. I live in Parkville (used to be in Towson), small world. We'll have to meet sometime. I throw gaming parties every few months. Email me at tortoise@comcast.net and I'll be sure...

    Hurricane Isabel and ENWorlders

    Been a while since we've had a hurricane come right up the Chesapeake Bay so it wouldn't surprise me to see this one do so. Of course that would be a bit of an inconvenience so I hope it dies off instead. I guess I'll let Eris handle it. FNORD!

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Something Old One left out was Rowan acting as forwad observer for one of Quintus' sleep spells against some of the enemy crossbowmen. "Quintus, Naptime, 30 feet straight ahead!" :D

    "Quality Standards" in the d20 System Guide

    I'm of the mind that WOTC is drastically over-reacting to a situation caused in part by someone else deliberately trying to goad them into over-reacting. I won't buy BoEF simply because I never planned to do so. I have no interest and likewise no need for the material. WOTC have managed to...
