I have to lose the weight for health reasons, but the doctor let me plan my diet. Here's what I'm doing: I've completely cut out caffeine since it dries you out (which in my case is very bad, kidneys, diabetes, etc.). I drink mostly water, and plenty of it. I eat much less food and what food...

I just joined up. M&M appears (so far) to be what I was looking for ... a replacement for Champions (Hero) which I have been very fond of and played for many years, but felt was too hard to teach new players and too slow of a combat system.

Where does the 800lb. gorilla sit? ... wherever the 1600lb. gorilla tells him to! :) Nice start TB. Having just gotten my mitts on a copy of M&M, I'm looking forward to your story hour for inspiration and entertainment. Judging by the maxed out dexterity of a number of the characters I...

I think this is a rockin' idea. Since in my day job I'm in contact with large numbers of game retailers I'd be willing to spread the word to them and recommend that they put up signs about it two or so weeks ahead of whatever date gets agreed upon (looks like March Fourth which I also vote for)...

I'm really looking forward to upcoming sessions of the campaign. There are some excellent things brewing and Rowan is getting some serious character developement opportunities coming up. I'll have to get a write-up done and send it to Old One. I'm really pleased with the recent turn of events...

Actually Old One seemed to have enjoyed the chance to face the rats & pits. ;) I read some of the Slave Lords thread and plan to go back over it in detail if time permits this weekend. What I read sounded like it was great fun.

We played a mega-session Saturday. I thought for sure we were about to lose 3 or 4 PC's, but a critical hit at just the right moment completely altered the situation. Of course Old one is a couple write-ups behind so it'll be a bit before you get to read about it. :cool:

Regarding that pit fighter ... in an upcoming update (not the one immediately pending) you'll witness a stirring heartwrenching event during which the pit fighter has both Rowan and Rose at his mercy and Quintus gives the fellow a big hug and convinces him to leave us alone. :cool: The...

Why not instead of theme issues, theme threads. Ongoing discussion on a certain topic for two or three issues along with the other mix of goodies with no more than one to three small articles in any one issue that match the theme? That way even a single article can be on the theme and leave...

A candidate in U.S. politics turned his skin permanently blue. The picture of him is interesting. Here's the link to the news report about how it happened. http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/Central/10/02/candidate.blue.skin.ap/index.html

You should change the title of the thread to "Warning: May Cause Bwain Damage" It sure left my head hurting.

A recent session I was a player in, the DM took down (subdual damage) a 5 member party of 9th level characters in rapid sucession. We got enveloped in a large area of deeper darkness and silence that had been cast on the earth elementals that came up beneath us. The wizard and a fighter did...

:) Hah! I'd rather be a tree hugging tree climber than a back stabbing social climber any day! So there! :p Good choice for spells there Q. We can certainly use some intelligence gathering capabilities to help us through things. So far we've been relying on second hand information. Say, do...

Well, unless something goes wrong (something almost always goes wrong), the next time we see them, we'll have horses too, which elevates us a bit closer to their status from a "wealthy people own horses standpoint" since horses aren't cheap. To the best of our knowledge when we left Glynden to...

I used to run a monthly game with 7 players. I am fairly comfortable with a group of that size, especially when I'm well prepared. Next time I run a group (let alone one that size) I plan to incorporate a lot of what I've read here (especially the Pig which I've liked the idea of from the first...

It's also our way of making fun of the other adventuring group from Glynden. The group of spoiled rich kids who call themselves the Swords of Glynden are the very same people who as children used to pick on Marcus, Garrick, and others. We've taken their pretentious self-naming and turned it on...

Re: Re: We played today. Shovels is the nickname we gave ourselves a long time back (while burying yet another fellow Glynden resident). We figured after a death toll that included ... a militia member in the first session Garrick and Marcus Tiro a session or two later a few groomsmen and...

We played today. Once again the Shovels of Glynden discover new and amusing ways to become personally acquainted with pits! I'll leave the telling of the tale to Old One, but I will say this much ... this ain't over till the mute lady sings. ;)

Wow, there have been some great ideas presented here for what could go in a potential BOED. Nice going! You folks have me wanting the book already.

I'm another person that would love to have the guidelines so I could follow the procedure step by step for my own use. I see this as a very helpful excersize toward getting a homebrew world organized.
