    Oots 445

    Awesome. The punchline panel sealed the deal for me.

    Explaining Virtual Tabletops

    I'll second this. MapTool is brilliant and easy to use. Our group is considering getting an LCD projector so we can use MapTool at the table instead of the vinyl battlemat.

    [OotS 444] Does he have the X's in his eyes?

    Maybe raise dead isn't being brought up yet because they're in the middle of a huge battle. Afterward is when they're likely to bust out with the res-fu.

    Good PCs Attacking a Neutral Temple

    It sounds like the boredom and frustration might've come from the stonewalled investigation. I mean, honestly they discovered... what, exactly? They were hired to investigate the seemingly normal neutral Temple and spent most of their time spinning their wheels. I'd start getting fidgety...

    Humor - OotS #443

    Bwahahahahahahah! Oh, that was a good one. I needed a laugh. The comic hasn't been laugh-out-loud funny in awhile, so it needed one with a good gag at the end again.

    Basic GM mistakes

    A list of advice to myself, were I able to send it back in time to when I was just starting out as a GM: DON'T PANIC! Especially about prepwork and such. It's easy to lock-up and be too indecisive to just run something. Just run with nothing! You'll surprise yourself at how well you do...

    OotS #440

    Maybe it's just a running gag.

    Which weapon is better?

    Rifle. A single extra attack at a huge penalty doesn't seem worth it on the face of it. Maybe go with the repeater if you've twinked out on multi-fire stuff. But heck, I'd just see if I couldn't modify your big nasty rifle into a repeater then anyway.

    The Year of Drizzt? (20th Anniversary)

    Agreed, though I'll go one step further and simply say that the novel sucked. The man can't write his way out of a paper bag. Well, that's not strictly true. I read one story in (IIRC) Tales of the Bounty Hunters by Salvatore that was pretty entertaining, but by and large he's a hack. Then...

    Item Creation Feats for a Druid

    If you don't know what else to take, grab Spell Focus (Conjuration) as a lame pre-req feat, and get Augmented Summoning. It's a really nifty feat for druids, since you can spontaneously use Summon Nature's Ally and with the feat all of your critters get +4 Str and Con for free! Also, you might...

    What is the standard ability score set? Are most games playing too high?

    I've thought about doing one or both of the following, but haven't tried it out yet: PCs get +1 Ability point every level instead of every 4 levels. PCs get one feat every level instead of every 3 levels. I have little problem with my players being powerful, and I thought that might give them...

    Monsters of Cool

    They like poop!

    What is the standard ability score set? Are most games playing too high?

    It'll matter only for low-level play, really. As is pointed out in discussions about +1/+2 LA races, those small LA benefits (like a group of high abilities) become rather insignificant as the game progresses. So while I think it's still meaningful, it's not going to make a huge difference...

    Monsters of Cool

    Those Lords of Madness, the Illithid and the Aboleth. They're both exceedingly cool and creepy. The aboleth hedges out the mind flayers just barely for me, because I have ocean-oriented fears.

    What is the standard ability score set? Are most games playing too high?

    So? I mean, if Crothian's games work out fine then I don't think it matters. A friend of mine just gives everyone straight 16's in all abilities. No LA, no big deal. Works out fine.

    What is the standard ability score set? Are most games playing too high?

    I either go with two sets of 4d6, drop lowest or (if the dice cheater is in the group) I have everyone use the Elite Array.
