Male or female? ... Oh, heck. It doesn't matter. Yes. Experience points are experience points. I'll take 'em where I can find 'em.

I've experienced real defeat twice as a player. Once, when I had to give up my bike to the GM after my PC drew a very special card from a modified Deck of Many Things. And then again when my girlfriend left me for one of the other players at the table. My characters, however, have remained...

http://cuteoverload.com/ An excellent resource for envisioning your next mage's familiar. As I post this message, the top familiar is a hedgehog. (Inevitably it wll be bumped down the page over time, so don't blame me if you missed it.)

I'm getting a unicycle.

It's weird that even after all these years and a general improvement in societal understanding of superstitious behavior that dungeon designers still refuse to identify the 13th level as such -- most dungeon levels go through 12th level and skip right past the numbering to level 14. Why are we...

eric noah = a rich one ? i no reach ? ein roach ? one chair ? oar niche ? I don't get it. What's the secret transposition?

Was Beaver Cleaver a joiner or a divider?

You enter a room. In the middle of the room stands Eric Noah with a pie. You want Eric Noah. ;) What do you do?

This was mentioned above, but it might be worth expanding and using: Set up a really nasty puzzle/riddle and leave a couple of dead bodies in the doorway. And that's it. No other clues. Let the players have a go at it. Heck, craft a brainbender so tough they can't possible figure it out -- make...

It's probably about time to reveal this, because many of you are going to find out soon enough anyway and be crushed by the knowledge. (Perhaps you should secure a therapist appointment now, before reading further.) Eric Noah is responsible for about half of the user accounts on this message...

Ah, yes! -- Lingus the Intransitive, who considered himself master of the runic verb. (Bardic Lore check: 35)

Further agreement.

Well, now that I gotcha thinking in that direction, I can admit that I'm not particularly in love with the Chameleon's organizational backstory anyway. If I were to take the prestige route myself, I'd probably drop the emphasis on the disguise skill and rename it The Natural, or maybe The...

Me? Snarky?! Nevah! Really, I'm just curious about the story implementation of this particular prestige class within the campaign. The initial post mentioned that the gamer is playing in the World's Largest Dungeon, but the WotC Chameleon text explains that the class involves an organization...

I agree. It's weird that he would want to be more like a "normal human." Perhaps he would like to be a taller gnome? You usually only run into that sort of identity confusion when you're raised totally outside your birth culture -- a child adopted out of South Africa by a white family in the...

Game mechanics aside, how do you intend to work out the chameleon school campaign background or otherwise justify the PC's severe twist in career? ... You know, that pesky "roleplaying" part of the game.

How do you handle non-table gaming time? I'm talking about the opportunities for PCs to camp right next to a low-level monster-generating node so they can rack up some easy XP between games with the full group. I like a DM who allows for some harvesting that way.

How about Santa as an early model warforged? One of a kind. They broke the mold after him.

And that's exactly what the raven will tell you, too: "Hey, wiz, ol' buddy, my best appraisal of the situation from up yonder -- a bird's eye view, if you will -- is that we're in the middle of some woods. Lost, even. By my approximation (and you have to realize that I don't have much in the way...

It's been many years ago, so I can't recount all the details with clarity, but I can remember our party stumbling through the woods in search of a "falling star" or some blazing object that shot out of the sky. The first sounds we heard at a distance were of battle and nasally high-pitched...
