    How'd he get the rules for my Naked Bard Prestige Class?

    OT: SARS - Should we be worried?

    I hear you man! I don't know what I have, but I feel like utter garbage. A few days ago I got a sore throat and a fever, the next day I felt totally run down and the sore throat made it impossible to eat anything. After that the sore throat and coughing almost totally disappeared, but my nose...

    If one isn't paying much attention that post looks wrong on so many levels.

    An Amoral Campain Idea

    Most important: Let the players know that it is an amoral campaign ahead of time. Our DM started a D20M campaign but didn't have much of a story thought out ahead of time. As a result he told us to create our PCs, but wouldn't tell us what kind of campaign we were playing, other than that there...

    I knew it would happen eventually. Fragments of the Blarney Stone Hanging rope from the Salem Witch Trials Pieces from the Roswell crash site Anything from Tesla's laboratory :) The Sixth and seventh Books of Moses Various body parts of various Saints (every other museum/cathedral has a...

    Monster Hunter Soundtrack

    Ah, Red Right Hand is a great, creepy song. I first heard it on Songs in the Key of X and later it showed up in a couple of movies, notably Scream. Two old songs that were never meant to be creepy but show up in creepy movies constantly; Percy Faith - Theme From a Summer Place (instumental)...

    When characters loot the bodies of other characters

    You mean there are other channels? ;)

    When characters loot the bodies of other characters

    In a world where bad guys routinely dig up bodies and use them for nefarious purposes, you'd better believe I'm not going to bury my friend with his +5 Holy Crapping Bastard Sword and his Rod of Unimpeded Global Domination. It's just not going to happen. Grave robbing in D&D is infinitely more...

    I'll go ask my ex and get back to you. If the chinese stopped by, why didn't they stay? North America was almost nothing but free real estate. I guess it was too far away from the action. Location. Location. Location.

    Quotes from the grave ( AKA vs. the communist monk)

    I have a special fondness for the dead. They are like my family, my children. The mindless, walking dead are matched only by small children in their cruelty. You get used to the smell after a while. I don't even notice it anymore. Try to think of me as a preserver of antiquities, a curator of...

    What Is Wrong With Sylvan Creatures?

    ROFL It's the pine smell. I feel... Saturated by it. Sign me up as another Legend fan. It seemed like it took forever for it to come out on DVD after they said they were working on it. Fey are dangerous because they are fickle and have a completely different value system from the rest of us...

    Why would a DM want a copy of the players character sheet?

    Personally, I like to have a copy of the players' character sheets because; If someone fails to show up or forgets their sheet, I have it on hand. Four of my five players are total n00bs. They have a tendency to accidently give themselves feats they don't qualify for, then short themselves on...

    New respect for crossbows

    I think sometimes nobles and rich people were sent here for displeasing the royalty. If you were a commoner or a killer of some sort you'd just get executed... Why America? Because at the time the USA was as backwoods as you could get so the people getting sent here had to leave "high society"...

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    Why is it that no one seems to get this? Changing a creature's DR, and changing the way DR works are two completely different things. We're not talking about one creature here, we're talking about EVERYTHING that has DR.

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    But using that information would be metagaming, wouldn't it? Rather than speak for blackshirt5, I'll give my own interpretation. Calvinball was not even a remotely fair game, mainly because no one was informed of a rules change until the effect of the change had already been made manifest. If...

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    "DR (or in the PC's mind, "can't be harmed by normal weapons, because if they could, their vulnerability wouldn't be so darn special)." I didn't write it twice because I didn't feel like it, and I have a feeling that no one felt like reading it twice either. Hey, they were informed of a...

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    Yes, and you need both sets of people to play. I think that the way some DMs lord it over their players that they're supposedly disposable is utterly repugnant. I don't know about you, but I play with friends, and I simply don't treat my friends that way. I agree. But are anyone's best...

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    See, that's the thing. The change was not made to the monster, it was made to a rule that dictates how many different aspects of the game work. The creatures could have been vulnerable to silver, mistletoe, or pink panties with Al Gore embroidered on them, and the PC would still whip out that...

    Kinda changing rules without telling players.

    I absolutely agree with this. I can't agree with this more. I know already that this will, more than likely, get me flamed, reference the last paragraph in such a situation. This smells of 100% hi-test DM power trip arrogance. Almost without fail, every time I have encountered a DM that...
