    WA, Tacoma - New Spycraft 2.0 game

    Seeking 1-2 player(s) for a Spycraft 2.0 game in Tacoma that meets on Sunday afternoons. It's already an established group of four (including GM), but three players is a bit too small. Normally we only play D&D for roughly year-long campaigns, and this will be the first time this group has...

    World/Campaign building - How do you go about it?

    I've been working on the same homebrew for over ten years now. It's only still used because it still has something new to offer me and my players. I think that's the key: find out what your players want and tailor the world around that type of game. My players in particular have been...

    Anyone have the Leatherbound D&D 3.5 Player's Handbook?

    I received my copy for Christmas and have used it in my two weekly games since then. The leather is certainly not holding up too well. It's already faded, especially on the back where it's been in contact with desks, gaming surfaces or other books. However, I'm still not sad I've used it. I...

    Why do women send mixed signals?

    Wow, after being fascinated for hours reading this thread, I must admit I'm tempted to delurk and reply. I think I'll restate the core of the message here: Changing is hard and painful, but worth it. However, change cannot occur if one is not even open to it. Ken, I implore you to open your...

    Auburn, WA - seeking players

    Well give me an email at my name @ nventure.com and we can work something out. The place we play at is off Sprague off Hwy 16, so it's really easy to find from GH. Again, we play on Sundays (generally at 2pm - 7pm). Look forward to hearing from you.

    [Heroes of Battle] Dread Commando's group initiative bonus--too good?

    I foolishly allowed a Marshall cohort for one of my PCs Leadship feat. He eventually had the cohort's Charisma up to a +8 bonus to everyone's initiative for every battle. We might as well have rolled group initiative like back in the old days, because the effect was the same. The PCs always...

    Auburn, WA - seeking players

    Wow! You dug this thread out of the archives. I'm touched. Well the games actually no longer in Auburn, instead it's in Tacoma and we play on Sundays. It's a fairly mature game, with the youngest player being myself, the DM, at 24. If it's something you're interested in, reply here or send...

    Can someone explain the ridiculous Alias finale?

    As convoluted and cheesy this season of Alias was, I still enjoyed it. *shrugs* To answer specific questions from above, check spoilers below. Anyways, despite the less than stellar season, the bleepin' cliff-hanger will definitely get me tuned in next year.

    Defeating a D&D god

    Some of the Demon Lords and Archdevils from the Book of Vile Darkness (3.0) like Orcus, Graz'zt, and Demogorgon would not only be capable of dispatching certain gods, they would certainly have the motives and resources to do so. However, in my opinion, the toughest thing about challenging a god...

    Round 8 is OVER!

    SKILL FOCUS There's a reason it's a prerequisite for some prestige classes.

    Dice superstitions

    I read a great document about a technique to make one's dice roll better, and thanks to my great google-fu, I have located it: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~johol/netbooks/Dices/Dices.txt It's an entertaining read, if not a bit longish.

    Only one week left -- EN World fantasy baseball leagues forming

    I love fantasy baseball. I'm in as The Minotaurs. Beware! Oh, and btw, this is my 100th post. It's only taken me three years of daily lurking to get here. I'm quite proud of myself.

    T-Shirt Slogan Help

    So far, so good. Now I need to make one or two for myself. Not sure I'm so ready to display my utter geekiness to the world so visibly yet though. Thanks for the replies. Jdvn1 - He's 23 and would be quite okay with anything suggestive. In fact, I'm sure that is the type he would prefer...

    T-Shirt Slogan Help

    I'm making a t-shirt for my cousin. He wants it to say, "Shirt of Charisma +2" on the front. However, we've been having trouble coming up with a bonus slogan for the back of the shirt, and I thought we'd ask you fine folks for help. Some we came up with but aren't perfectly happy with: "You...

    [Eberron] Can Artificers Drain Cursed Items?

    As the title suggests, I'm wondering whether an artificer can/should be able to use their supernatural ability of Retain Essence to drain the XP from a cursed magic item to put in their craft reserve. I don't see anything in the rules that would suggest this is not possible, but it seems to be...

    Bear's Endurance on Raging Barbarian

    My question came up in my group's last session. Bear's Endurance was cast on an already raging barbarian. Does the increased Constitution add two extra rounds to the duration of the rage? Or does the rage end normally and the BE only adds the extra HP for the spell's duration?

    Appropriate PC AC by Level

    I certainly realize that it's not a perfect question, and that it is based on individual character focus. I suppose what my original question was driving at was wondering what a decent AC would be for any particular level. I got that answer from Marimmar and Pyrex with the idea of 13 + level...

    Appropriate PC AC by Level

    What should PC's Armor Class be at what levels? I know the whole BAB vs. AC rules system makes AC almost pointless at certain levels, but what AC would be best to counteract that flaw in the system? Also, what would be the best way to get the best AC at various levels (low, mid, high)? I...

    Young Gamers

    I have the opportunity to include a young person (9 yr old boy) in my gaming group and I have natural reservations. He's a very bright, interested, engaging kid with very little annoying features and is not the son of any of the players. I'm inquiring about your experiences with including...
