    Are Skills Mechanically Important in d20?

    In the end skills are only as important as your DM makes them. I feel that they are important. As a player I spend a lot of time choosing my skills. As a DM I try to think up ways for the players to use skills and how the skills relate to each challenge I create.

    Ohio Gameday IV on hold

    Yeah, there's at least one. Unfortunately the few others I know about I want nothing to do with. :\ I guess that's part of the reason I can't get a game together (my group has been split across the tri-state area). The Waldens in the mall is where I've bought most of my books. I guess someone...

    racism against black elves (non drow)

    I like 'em like that. Black with just enough specular highlights and not so shiny they look like they just oiled up for some kind of hardbody contest.

    Ohio Gameday IV on hold

    Woah! When is this going down? I'm in Alliance. Edit: I'm not too lazy to look it up myself; it's just that my connection is on the blink (as per usual) and I can't get any of the relevant links on google to load.

    An age old topic that was never answered!

    Wow... all I can say is wow. That and that if the dragon's body falls the right direction, roughly half of the feline overpopulation problem is solved. Take that Bob Barker!

    Plant creatures

    Don't forget the Wolf-In-Sheep's-Clothing from AD&D's MMII. Has it been converted yet? And if so... why? :] Zygom were in that book too.

    I haven't polished this one up too much, and it got a little melancholy at the end but... well here it is. The EN Board (The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel) I am just a lurker and I know I seldom post I've squandered my existence reading threads about the proper way to say made-up words like...

    A competition for free CS accounts!

    This one's kind of focused on the game itself. I'll post a more EN World-centric song later. I Believe In A Thing Called Gold (I Believe In A Thing Called Love by The Darkness) Can't explain all the pockets that I've started to pick And soon I'll level because my thiev'ry skills are quite sick...

    WotC's Head to head monster match! Vote for your favorite!

    The succubus is still better than the goofy creatures like the tarrasque, and belker and stuff we've seen a thousand times like trolls giants and kobolds. Honestly, I'll never understand the rampant Meepo fanboyism. Personally, I would have liked to see the marilith dervish or the warforged get...

    How much of your collection do you use?

    None of it. My group's members have all moved away for school and work. Until a catastrophic tectonic event compresses the tri-state area into one small city-sized mass, I won't be running a game.

    Tips on weeding out lousy players from your group

    I had a guy cheat during my game. Since then we've been on hiatus- when we reconvene he won't be informed. It's that simple. Edit: FYI, he's one of those guys that somehow has the disposable income to buy EVERY product wotc has ever made (plus a few that he probably bought in the future and...

    Why aren't there good alcohol rules for D&D?

    So I guess there are all kinds of rules for alcohol, you were just too drunk to notice. ;) The only character I had that had a penchant for getting hammered was my fighter/cleric of Bacchus. His religion sort of demanded it...

    Ever lost an amazing player?

    Ouch. Damn man, that really stinks. Maybe you'll see him the next time they're on tour. ;) I miss everyone I DMed for (because I can't run my stinkin' campaign without them), except one of them because he's an ungrateful, damned-dirty cheater. My best friend Dave left for DC to be a teacher...

    Would you give your 2nd level party 30 thousand gold?

    Sure, I'd give them the 30K, so they could deliver it to a third party. :] Harsh punishments for anyone who tries to skim some off the top. Amazingly enough, I am not a rat bastard DM.

    The Online Prize Patrol -- Grand Winner Announced!

    Count me in. I could use some good luck. A few weeks ago someone unknowingly dropped their wallet (full to the brim with cash) in a parking lot right in front of me and then walked on into the store. I picked it up, caught up with them and returned it. The putz barely mumbled a 'thanks'. My mom...

    Would/Do You Wear A D&D T-shirt In Public?

    I used to wear my Dragon Quest t-shirt (came with the board game) to school but I haven't had another gaming shirt since then. There aren't really any available locally and I've never ordered clothing online... I do have a Psionics.net shirt I won, but I don't wear it outside the house because-...

    Just so you know, a blizzard is more like a thick milkshake with stuff mixed into it. A slushy is, of course, made of ice. They have completely different stats. ;) Vote NO on issue #Tarrasque!
