    D&D Computer Games

    speaking of determination, in Curse of the Azure Bonds on my trusty Commodore 64, my party was able to defeat the Mulmaster Beholder Corps (Dark Elf Lords, High Priests, Beholders and Rakshasa) that was in the side dungeon in Daggerdale. Don't ask me how I was able to do it but I have a witness. :)

    Well that was nice

    I would simply count on my appendages to figure out my age. It stopped working after I passed 21 though.... :heh:

    Subterranean echolocation? Would such a thing even be possible?

    Where do crits come from?

    I know it's not the origin of he critical, but in the old computer game Dungeons of Moria, the critical system was interesting. In addition to scoring a critical hit, there were different levels of critical hit (good, excellent, superb) which were x2, x3, and x4 damage respectively. Unlike 3.5...

    Sonic Disruption

    If it helps, I have a story of Karmic justice that pertains to this very issue. I used to hang out at a spot on the waterfront in Halifax. It was a popular hang out and many people would show up in their tricked out cars with super uber bass thumping the hearts out of their chests. One day a...

    Anyone here ever bought a refrigerator?

    of course, you could also go the other route. head over to a second hand appliance store and pick up a refurb for about 100 bucks. They usually come with a warranty ( 6 months?). It's certainly worth considering if cost is a major factor.

    Yes, you have to!

    It means never having to say you're sorry. ;)

    Ahhhhhh, stop typing that!

    With regard to using quotation marks for emphasis on signage, I believe it may have originated out of necessity. A lot of the signs that I see that use this format are the portable billboard signs with the removable letter sets. The sets generally do not provide much in the way punctuation or...

    Anyone ever play with a female DM?

    The last game I played in was DMed by a female. Actually, come to think of it, I was the only dude in the room for that game. Me and 4 chicks.... sweet....

    Re-worded spells

    Baleful Polygraph - Krusk, we asked if you ever cheated on Mialee and you said "No". These results say you did and fathered 3 kids with Lidda..... Baste - casting this spell covers the target in their own juices. Control Whether - allows the caster to make the next decision

    Mythical beasts that need more attention

    I wasn't merely talking about advancing a creatures stats, but also creating a history for the critter. A creature of legend doesn't get that way in a vaccuum (unless of course is from space....). It requires sightings, encounters with mundane folk who miraculously survived and spread the tale...

    Real life beasts that need more attention

    the thing about wolf packs, barring the ubiquitous fireball, is that they are indeed a formidable enemy. The thing with running a wolf pack as an enemy that many GMs forget is the pack tactics. Wolves will actively seek to separate and surround prey and will use guerrilla tactics to do so. It is...

    Magical Plants and Fruit

    Magefoil - The magefoil tree is probably one the most misnamed plants in existence. The tree, contrary to it's name, is a boon to those who practice the magical arts. this small, unassuming tree grows in groups of 5 -15 individual plants, usually 10 -15 metres apart and has clusters of five...

    Screen names and first impressions

    when I first saw Mycanid's screen name I thought he was a fun guy. everyone else I figured was a fatbeard (even the girls) :)

    Child obesity 'a form of neglect'

    As a former fat kid (and now a fat adult) I am torn as to how I feel regarding this issue. I was always a big kid, but I never had a double chin. I think the key was that although I was active, I was never as active as the thinner kids. I was never into sports so my activity would tend towards...

    Mythical beasts that need more attention

    this problem is easy enough to solve.... create creatures of legend. In the world there may be many manticores but only one Beast of (insert location here), which happens to also be a manticore.

    what do you do

    I am a sector supervisor in the mobile division of a large security company. It sounds more glamourous than it is. I am in all ways but paper, married. No kids. I have 3 rabbits.
