So really, it's not average party level unless you started out above the average, right? --G

Well, once the PC has died, the party hangs out for about 10 minutes. Then, the character's ghost reforms on the ethereal and makes the decision whether to proceed into the True Afterlife or continue on as ghost. Of course, since we play Ghostwalk, most of the time it's option two. --G

And I thought Gamers were supposed to be above average readers. --G

Or, use a powerful good dragon to give the PCs a sense of just how outclassed by the bad guy they are. IMC, the PCs will meet a young silver who's willing to trade a certain magical item for the completion of a task. Once they've completed the task, the silver will hand over the item and go...

There's a very good reason for this: CompUSA doesn't provide it's employees with street dates. It's true. So when you go to a CompUSA and ask when is X going to be out, you're relying on the employee's personal knowledge from the same sources you have access to, the gaming press. I doubt...

Speaking as a lawyer, it ain't a lawsuit until someone files a complaint. However, just because someone's filed a complaint, doesn't mean the parties are no longer engaged in cooperative negotiations. Sometimes, you've got to file the suit in order or protect your rights. So, at the end of...

When PCs in my campaign die, they come back as ghosts about 10 minutes later. Then it's up to them to decide what their going to do before they succumb to the Calling and are pulled into the True Afterlife. Then again, I'm running a Ghostwalk game. --G

Roger Moore's "U 2 Kan Ern Big Bux." --G

Today, my advice would be to go with the ATI card. Having just done months of research while building my new machine, I'm pretty comfortable with that evaluation. Good Luck. --G

A question and a theory: 1) What happened to the Baatorians, the ancient beings of pure evil who even the Baatezu fear? 2) Here's how to take out the Lady: Let the Baatezu and Tana'ri start worshiping her. They can bring her into the fold with enough focused worship. --G

I will say that I got an Xbox in May of 2002 and it was dead by September. Of course this wouldn't normally have been a problem except that it had a rented movie stuck inside. Some older Xboxes had an issue where their logic board would fry. I got mine repaired and it's worked great since...

I'm not sure where sluggo read this. I just checked wizards site at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndmin/966250000, and the price for Archfiends is still $9.99. Of course the price for Giants of Legend is also $9.99, so maybe WotC hasn't updated their product calendar. --G

Double Post. --G

Well, since we're throwing out unsupported assertions . . . I've never had any issues with my Radeon cards. Apparently, though, nVidia has some driver issues with Half-Life 2. (Anandtech (and a number of other sites) got a chance to try out a recent version of the code for a day . . . by...

Well, I just saw number 15,000. By my read, it's about 4:58 am CST on January 28, 2004. Congratulations Steve Jung, Silvermoon and welcome Trencher! --G

There are a couple of recent threads that have great information on video cards. The long and the short of it is that the Radeon 9600 Pro is about the best thing going at your price point. Hit pricewatch for pricing info and Anandtech and Tom's Hardware for benchmarks to verify. --G

That's because Walmart has retail operations in most states. Therefore, because they've got a brick an mortar operation, they've got to pay state sales taxes. --G

There's a thread on the first page that addresses what to look for in video cards. You should check it out if you decide to go that route. I'd go with the video card rather than the RAM. Depending on your budget, however you could get both . . . . . A new ATI Radeon 9600 Pro w/256 MB RAM is...

What it means is that for people with borderline personalities and poor impulse control, perhaps imagining themselves as violent, consequence-free adventurers is not the best thing. When you're dealing with a population that, by and large, has a disproportionate number of mentally ill people...
