The trick is having the tallest flag...so, what you need to do is get your flag way up there, then trim the queen's flag. Just simple military tactics.

Other! I'm a great tactician in general, and apply lots of tactics into both my tabletop and computer gaming, but I'm terrible with the sorts of things that don't have any real-world bearing that I can identify and exploit; which is why my crappiness at a game is proportional with how detached...

Going on what I've seen work quite well in various systems... Resolve (Self-confidence; it would affect your ability to inspire, intimidate, resist persuasion/domination, and concentrate, as well as giving a bonus to whatever sort of action/courage/whatever-point system you'd use) Brawn...

As many have said before (but hopefully with a few extra points and some added clarity...) Actual Terms Used Historically Longsword: A light two-handed sword, which started out as a longer version of the one-handed cutting swords of the early middle ages, but evolved into especially stiff and...

1. Primary spellcasting classes; anybody that goes up to level 9 spells. It's just too much work for me keeping track of what spells I have memorized. That said, I don't mind sorcerers nearly as much as wizards, druids, or clerics. 2. Bards. I played a bard once, and I never want to again. I...

The one time I killed a dragon was almost single-handed... 2nd level barbarian with the UA "whirling frenzy" rage variant; 22 strength while in a frenzy, +1 flaming greatsword...two attacks per round, at +6 to hit, 2d6+10 damage, +1d6 fire...minimum of 13 damage, maximum of 50 (24+20+6) on a...

Talk Like A Pirate Day is september 27th, if I remember correctly... Anyway, the poll didn't have an option for "Not that I know of among other players, and I don't do it personally." That said, I do have a costume I wear to the ren fair every summer, but I wouldn't wear it to a game...swords...

I agree whole-heartedly! However, my group is kind of slow (read: we get off-topic a lot), so it took us three sessions. We could have done it in one evening, though, if it weren't for making characters at the first session, having a meal in the middle of the second session, and starting an...

Got ya covered, free of charge!

Either of the two 'big' games: Saturday, so the group member who lives off-island can get to the game, then stay the night and be home for a while before school on monday. As well, we can start earlier in the day than we would on sunday, due to our one church-going player. My at-school game...

Where I start PCs depends entirely on the campaign, system, and what adventure I want to start with. For my longest-running game (almost a year so far...and everybody enjoys it even more with each session), I started the PCs at level 2 to run almost a sort of introductory adventure. Then, they...

Well, we all know LOTR blatantly featured tabacco and potatoes... IMC, potatoes are a common staple in the rougher, less arable regions, as are tomatoes in the warmer kingdoms. Tobacco, however, is relatively unknown; smoking isn't very common outside of the traditions of the more shamanistic...

There is/was the ME d20 page here on ENWorld, but it disappeared in the big site shuffle a month or two back. Well, as far as I know...I sure can't get any links to it to work.

(Note: my campaign is a low-magic setting that I run with Grim Tales, so I dropped a lot of the D&D assumptions) In my homebrew, death isn't an entity. In fact, the gods aren't even "real" in the usual D&D sense. Various religions may look at it differently, but at the same level of truth as...

Well, it sounds like I'm gonna have to get the Seven Saxons and Spellcasting book...and the others look interesting too... The question is...how soon will I be able to fork over the dough for any of these? Have any estimated street dates?

I'd think those little guys would just be a gnomes with the [Fiendish] subtype...at least based on the ones I've met...

Well, with the density thing, you basically have less mass for the same cross-section, or else a worse (read: more obtuse) cross-section for the same mass. The lightness would only mean that your weapon would be easier to deflect, in exchange for being a bit less tiring over time...unless you...

One note about titanium: The numbers it's always compared against as a 'super metal' are for mild steel. In terms of blades, titanium just can't get hard enough to hold a proper edge. Also, being half as dense as steel, you have to make a blade twice as wide to even approach the same cutting...

As was said, you seem to be confusing mass production with assembly lines. Assembly lines have existed at least since roman times, and by the late middle ages, guilds--being a major part of the societal structure--had the resources, know-how, and motivation to use assembly lines. In fact, it...

Usually, the PCs get downtime between the adventures I run, but not always. In the games I play in, however, between-adventure-time seems to always be taken up with travelling.
