    Mortality Radio # 30: Ed Stark interview available...

    Wow, we have vastly different experiences. I have been playing 3E since its release, weekly, and I played Living Greyhawk for quite some time. In all that time, maybe 50% of the Wizards and Sorcerors used Magic Missile. About 90% of them were effective characters both in and out of combat...

    Mortality Radio # 30: Ed Stark interview available...

    We agree on most of this then. You said, "Instead I will spend my money on d20 publishers who care about the hobby rather than milking the customer out of as much money as possible. D&D will not die, the SRD can't be revoked, so I will spend my money with companies who do care" and that's what...

    Mortality Radio # 30: Ed Stark interview available...

    Are you serious? I can understand an argument made that Hasbro could give a rat's butt about D&D, but Wizards? Do you know anything about how Wizards gained the rights to D&D to save it from the bankrupt TSR? Do you know that the main man behind Wizards at the time (CEO Peter Adkison) is a...

    [OOC] Of Sound Mind

    I have no complaints about the game. I think it's going quite well. The reason I haven't been posting much lately is because I'm swamped with work. I've barely been to the boards in over a month--and then, only for this game. I'll try to post more in a week or so--hopefully work will have...

    SCOOP! Wizards to release 3E Draconomicon

    Thanks Psion! That's what my group has always done (added the two). The Sage has made some very...odd rulings.

    Steeping off the glass as gracefully and delicately he can, Adren will inform the group of what he's found. "Hmmm...a potion vial might be an option, Gholog. But where did the glass come from? OOC: Is there a reasonable amount of glass for it to have been a potion vial, Jarval? Or is there...

    Guardians of Order gets Song of Ice and Fire RPG license

    It's kinda warm down here in Kitchener, Waterloo, and Guelph right now. Let's hope they don't lose inspiration.... :)

    SCOOP! Wizards to release 3E Draconomicon

    Digression: Hey Psion, I don't suppose you have a link to Monte's comments, would you? What was Skip's ruling that Monte disagreed with? Thanks!

    ATTN: Morrus Re: New Email address

    Wow, a couple years?? I don't give my main email address out to webpages or anything that's not work related and I started getting spam fairly quickly. It hasn't really escalated, but it's still quite a bit. If it's taken a few years, then that seems a pretty good fix! :)

    ATTN: Morrus Re: New Email address

    One of the reasons you may be getting so much spam to your account is because some unsavoury folks use bots that pull email addresses from web pages to use for advertising. If you put a (non-standard) filler word in your address that is posted on the main page (like: IGNORE, FILTER or REMOVE)...

    OOC: AFAIK, you can't take 10 on an aid check.

    Of Sound Mind III

    Seeing the askance look thrown his way by Gholog, Adren will shake the cobwebs from his mind and start looking around a little more intently. He'll start a methodical search, quickly turning towards the creature, "With your permission, of course? Friends, my eyes aren't as keen here as they...

    This Is My Kind of Dragon

    The fishing one still cracks me up. "C'mon and get in the boat, fishes. C'mon and get in the boat, fish fish." "C'mon and get in my house, ladies. C'mon and get in my house, girls girls." Or something like that. :)

    [OT]Summer Job: Offshore Oil Rig?

    DWARF, have you thought about working in Leduc or in Fort McMurray on the Oil Sands? They both use a similar 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off rotation, and they both have very well paying jobs that require little training. Syncrude and Suncor (the two main companies in the Oil Sands) pay very well and...

    [OT-Humor] What does one have to do to have a quote of theirs used in another's sig?

    I wish I could tell ya. Maybe it's 'cause Ashtal is a fellow Canadian and I've always respected her opinion, or maybe it's because Gygax is Gygax. Or maybe it's boobies. I don't know what to tell you, Hal. :confused: Oh, and watch Farscape. A lot. You're our only hope, Hal. The fate...

    I agree, Kerrick. He's done nothing to suggest he's a threat, so I say we give him a chance. And, I must say, he's got me quite curious as to what manner of creature he is.

    Adren will move towards the door and say, in a quite but clear voice, "I bear no love for goblins, but I also do not crave unnecessary violence. If these creatures have wronged you, I'm willing to help you--but I would need to know the face of the creature I'm helping. How long have the...

    I'm super swamped right now--can you put me on Autopilot for the next couple days? Thanks, sorry about the bad timing.

    New Scarred Lands game

    Sorry I went missing there a while. Did anyone else notice that this thread is in the wrong forum? As a result (I think), I didn't get a notice that a reply had been made (via thread subscription) to my email. So, I didn't think anyone was responding. I'm guessing the same thing might have...

    Adren will grimace through the pain and continue his attack. If someone in teh group falls, Adren will attempt to stabilize them, even if it means exposing himself to attack.
