Since S'Mon posted a related poll (and its been a couple of months since I looked at this one) I think I will give this a bump and see if it picks up any new results. Go go 200!

I'm curious how this poll will turn out; I would expect it to be skewed towards the high end just by the nature of the title. You might want to crosscheck your results with my own poll from a couple months ago where I asked what levels people had played (low, medium, high) in their last...

Is this yours? Bagpuss Eldar Banshee Just for a frame of reference on what your standards are for pre-painted minis. (And whether you'd be more likely to pay $20 on EBay or sell something for $20 on EBay. ;-)

You'd have to find an anthology for this one, but his other acclaimed story is a novella called "Sandkings". He has a website called www.georgerrmartin.com where I'm sure he has listed everything that he has done and which things won awards. It also has the latest (real) status on the 4th book...

I should have replied to my own message to mention that I found the docs (in the doc folder!) that night and after some fooling around got everything working. I'm still not sure what the original bug was; possibly some stray embedded keystroke. But I restarted by taking a new .pcc file and...

Hmmm, well, yes. ;-) Are there docs for the pcc files somewhere? I probably just need to sit down and read them a bit. Anyway, I created a .pcc file by taking the Forgotten Realms pcc and stripping out everything past the #EXTRAFILE marker. I changed a lot of the header info, then I added...

I dont see any errata for these so: 1) The range is listed as 30', but the area of effect is described as "...centered on character..." I assume the second is correct? 2) A creature 5' away has one-half concealment. Is this measured from square center to square center? Ie, does 5' mean you...

My GF's DM has house-ruled the Armor Check Penalty and the Max Dex penalty on certain types of armor. Is there any way to create house-ruled items in PCGen? I would have guessed LST Editors, but I dont see items here.

This is true. Actually, it shows Isildur going invisible and running for the river as the Orcs attack. Then it shows him becoming visible as the treacherous Ring falls off his finger in the water. The effect on the riverbank doesnt quite work; the shot of him putting on the Ring is so quick...

Those are spectacular. In the other thread, you mentioned how much the Caldwell piece was - do you mind saying how much this one is? Also, what are its dimensions? (One of the funniest things I ever saw was a sign at Ikea that said "Art: Small $10, Medium $20, Large $40". Like it was a...

No way! Frodo would have kicked all of the 9 around if he wanted to. He was just playing possum to lure them in. ;-) Anyway, its a reasonable interpretation that the Ring grants power according to stature. I came to my conclusion because I always imagined that if Joe the Random Soldier of...

Tangentially, I am curious if Alzrius' question comes after reading the book or seeing the movie. The characterization of the One Ring is a bit different in each. In the book, I think its clearer what exactly the Ring is all about. I think its easier to miss some of the subtleties in the...

I'm not sure if "trust" is the right word. Some of the people I game with will go home and read the books thoroughly looking for ways to build strong characters. Others will just go with a character concept that interests them, strong or not. Its not like I dont trust one of these groups...

Is anyone else reading for the Hugos? The first wave of selection takes place at the end of the month, so I've dug out all of last years Asimov's and F&SF's and crosschecked against the Locus recommended list. I'll see how many stories I can read by the 31st. (Or maybe before, it doesn't look...

I wonder if it'sss tasssty, my precious? ;-) If people will eat Fugu for a thrill in this world, then I'm certain someone would want to try a Dragon steak. Sentient or no.

A related question is "How are small mercenary groups (ie, adventurers) regulated?" I'm still kinda wrestling with that question. A lot of the problems it brings up are similar to the bounty-hunting questions: ie, if someone ends up dead at the hands of a mercenary unit, is that a problem and...

I'm still thinking about a better body for Orcus. Check out this miniature. I dont think I've ever seen Heresy, but there are lots of good parts here for Orcus conversion. Assuming we are still about 25mm. CoolMini Minotaur by Sivousplay

Or the moment when little Trogdor catches them battered from a tough encounter and decides to finish them off himself and eat their eyes. Keeping an evil Dragon as a pet seems an awful lot like keeping a baby Pit Fiend around because he's so cute when he's little. See below:

Do you think the spell gives the affected PC some magic ability to maintain the illusion of friendship also? If it doesnt grant that, then the rest of the party just shouts out, "If the Necromancer is such a good friend, then just tell us his name. You cant? Well, then he Charmed you, didn't...
