No time jump for Sigil as far as what has been announced (although that is indicative of WotC's design flaw in a 104 year time jump being imposed on one setting that has had crossovers in the past; it won't matter much though, 4E Realms will have a different cosmology yet again thanks to Mystra...

I've been keeping up on this specifically, which is strange, because I never liked the Realms, still don't, and I'm still peeved by the changes. :p Realms pantheon is mostly intact. Mostly. Greater gods will now be pantheon heads, with most intermediate/lesser/demigods being reduced to...

The reality is that, as of now, we don't have Magi confirmation whether ISRP will transition to 4E setting standards or not (and I know at least two of them are as disgusted by WotC's handling of it as I am :P ). So hyping up how bad it's bound to be is quite a bit premature. We aren't bound...

Stats have never really mattered, so the system just boils down to personal preference. The bigger concern for ISRP will be the havoc that 4E is bringing to two of the four settings that we have here, something which I've been painstakingly (and painfully in some cases, the headaches just never...

Excellent thread idea. :D Might as well do one for the revamped version of Tharivious active in the Veghinix novel I've got going (first 13 chapters are over on my DA, for those that remember him. Accurately sums up the revised life story when played in sequence. Tharivious: Long and...

Quoted for truthery. Everyone here understands the need to vent; we all vent in some measure, be it through creative outlets, having a go at something with our friends or on other websites (Livejournal, for example), or even confronting a problem with the source in a private and polite manner...

Nugan had a tendency to draw that sort of reaction, didn't he? :p Both in chat and in tabletop games, believe me. Apathy is still semi-together, over at Dykal, but I think it's gone semi-inactive while characters are in other storylines/other characters get more use/etc. I was sort of...

Most of my memories over the years come from the out of character moments, which would be sad to say on a roleplaying site if it weren't for the quality of the friends that I've made, including the ones that I least expected at one point. Nothing can beat the lasting friendships as far as good...

Mayu covered this for the public knowledge. Keeping up on the drama on sites like this is fun (there really needs to be a sarcastic smiley for things like that), but I don't understand why it has to be made public so often lately. All it does is breed hard feelings and put a negative vibe for...

It's not a matter of the "hint of complaint" leading it to fall on deaf ears. It's a matter of the same fallacy of a complaint that we've heard year in, year out for the last several years. Complaints without action accomplish nothing but antagonizing the masses, and when it's a rerun, it's...

You mean, like it has been for, oh, I don't know, the last decade? It's nothing new, so suggesting that the ISRP has "gone" anywhere is a bit of an incorrect idea. It's the nature of a social community for people to act like, well, normal people, and attempt to socialize, or brood, or...

Though I haven't interacted with Lacerin, or seen him in action, the comments here so far lead me to recommend a look at this thread for possible ways to adjust his combat presence. Aside from that, characters tend to develop reputations, so dispelling the attached opinions that exist now may...

What you have there sounds like a very specific, one-time-only exception to the rule. As you yourself say, the players involved got together with the staff, coordinated the storyline idea, organized a plan, and executed it with staff involvement at all stages. There's a line between working...

More accurately, as I believe has been discussed at length in other threads, the Crossroads gets the most traffic because that's where most characters were established before the site move. The characters are used to the Crossroads, and thus some storylines don't readily transition because...

That would be because the majority who had named their locations prior to this vote were located in south-eastern US, and the New York state contingent is fairly large (larger than was represented in the previous Q&A thread on locations). It's a natural response to assume that the option with...

I still wish I had started playing in that campaign earlier. I missed some of the real horrors. :lol:

If lurking around the boards with long stalled-out plotlines counts as "still here", I guess I'm still here, sort of. :p Most of what I do is for game design (*shakes a fist at 4E* I was so close to being done with that! Now it's back to square one with a new system entirely, a non-D&D system)...

It functions just fine in group windows, too. But the single-window functionality is a one-up on AIM's chatroom-only function, especially for DMs that want to keep results secret from the group for one reason or another (charm effects, that sort of thing).

MSN Plus! also has several die-rolling scripts available that function in single-person IMs, for what that's worth. The tDice script works very well in my experience, having the most simplified command (doesn't get much simpler than /tDice and Enter). Just another viable alternative if the...

Nothing to worry about there, folks. :p Conveniently enough, that is Wednesday.
