    Anyone else going to see RoTS at midnight?

    Shouldn't say this... Sorry guys, have to gloat. Have a friend who's a manager at the local theatre and he called me about 2 hours ago (Tuesday @ 7:30 PM or so)... seems like the movies just came in today and he "has" to go through all 5 copies and watch them, making sure that everything is ok...

    Was I a RBGM?

    I even told them... As I was trying to decide what to do, I mentioned to them that I was trying to decide how much of a <not-nice guy> I wanted to be... They knew something was up... I think that I covered it up pretty ok, there was some great role-playing as we got back and the bad guy they...

    Could Ep III beat Titanic?

    I only wish I only wish I could say that... as I was watching it with my wife, we were both hoping the ship would sink faster... alas, it droned on like the rest of the movie - too bad.

    GM Dilemma

    What's even worse... ... is when you start a campaign and all the characters look REALLY REALLY good on paper... but then the player ignores all the history and background you both worked hard on, throws the character concept out the window and plays a totally different kind of character...

    Fantasy Football

    Elway, Marino, Brady, Beg Ben = Mages (they had the magic...) Barry Sanders... not only Skill Focus (Escape Artist), he definately had a feat allowing him to change direction during a charge... On a more serious note... (or at least back to the thread), All the stats are needed by different...

    Vitality/Wound Points in D&D

    okokokokokok Thanks for all your input. I'm working on some revisions to the rules anyways (I run a game pretty heavy on the house-rules anyways). With the following assumptions: 1) Using viatality/wound points 2) Lower-level game up to mid-level... I very rearely will run a game past level...

    Vitality/Wound Points in D&D

    Ok, so... So for example, a longsword (normally crits on a 19-20) should only crit on a 20 and a Rapier would crit on a 19-20? Could see where this might help, but what about the differences inherent in how they balanced weapons... a longsword was better than a mace mostly because of the...

    Vitality/Wound Points in D&D

    Ok all, this has probably been discussed here on the boards (I've probably lurked in a couple of the threads), but I have a question about vitality/wound points as presented in the Unearthed Arcana rulesets. I am starting off a new campaign in a week or two and I would really like to try out...

    Most embarassing gaming moment?

    Elven Name Hope this doesn't get dinged by an admin... I was in 7th grade or so and had a chance to play with the 'older crowd'. Rolled up a really cool elven fighter mage (1st edition rules) and was looking in the Simarillion for a cool elven name. Found one I really liked, and since he...

    Most embarassing gaming moment?

    Oh man... I just about spewed Dew on my monitor at work - that would have been hard to explain... and coming from a cop's son, he's doggone lucky that he was just butted by the rifle and not worse off.

    Whats the best you've ever rolled

    Axis and Allies Ok, not Dnd (Axis and Allies, you know, the board game). We drew cards as to who was going to play who and 2 brothers (the best at the game) drew Germany and Japan. The other 3 of us looked at each other and figured we were toast. I drew Russia (my bad luck). Germany...

    Home Schooling

    It all depends A couple of things... a nerd/geek constantly being ostrasized by their peers is NOT a fun or admirable situation... I only got by because I was an athletic, football (american)-playing, 6' 225lbs linebacker nerd/geek. ;) Also, with as much movement as the poster is...

    DMing from a Laptop

    Do it... on my own terms Maybe because I am a programmer and a computer geek, I've been using a self-created program for ages now (since 2E days). Initially, we played in the basement of our old house and the desktop computer was nearby... now I've got a laptop with a wireless LAN all set up...

    Flaws/Other rules from UA

    Figured as much Figured that flaws could get really powerful really fast... the good thing is that only 1 of the players in the group (total of 5 players plus me as a DM) has ANY of the books and the one who does only has the 3.0 rulebooks... so I can very easily control what, when and how...

    Flaws/Other rules from UA

    Looking at starting a new campaign in the spring/early summer and was wondering what the community here feels about using Flaws (I believe from Unearthed Arcana). Don't have the book, but there was an article in a Dragon magazine that had some flaws for Clerics and I thought that they "might"...

    NFL Week 13

    Passing is WAY over-rated In the playoffs, you NEED a strong D, ask the Pack or Indy after last year... and as other posts have mentioned, the Ravens and Bucs of the past won despite their offense. It's a very rare team that will win with a big offense and no D, especially against a tough D...
