I am currently running a dark sun campaign and have been using group checks as something the group does on a daily basis in order to find food/water and avoid getting lost. It also sets up whether or not any encounters that day will involve surprise for one side or the other. I would like to...

lots of good films mentioned here. there is a couple I can think of that I enjoy, both star Glenn Ford..."The Sheepman" and "Cowboy" I also liked all of the made for TV adaptations of Loius Lamour's books. They generally have either Tom Selleck or Sam Elliot.. or both as was the case with The...

hmmm..... well I paid here and my paypal account says the money came out on the 15th of this month. It was a 3 month subscription. As far as I can tell I'm not up and going.... no search capability etc....any help here would be appreciated.

How long does it take to get your status/privelges adjusted after you pay for a community supporter account?

I am currently re-reading Wolf in Shadow by David Gemmell and wil follow it up with the other two books in the trilogy, The Last Guardian and Bloodstone. I have read them before more than once but I am a huge Gemmell fan and of all of his great characters Jon Shannow, the Jerusalem Man, is my...

I don't mind the uber-mensch kinda characters if they are done well. For example, I have a real fondness for David Gemmell's character Druss the Axeman or the even more uber-mesnchy (man you start mixing languages and things just go right out the window) Waylander.

Now there are some great (if you like dated, tongue planted firmly in the cheek) movies. I wonder if they have been released on DVD? Gotta go look.

I would think the comment is a bit uncharitable but I came to Farscape late and kind of immersed myself in it and watched all 4 seasons in the space of 2 months. Left very little chance of forgetting previous episodes. As far as BG is concerned (which I am also a fan of), if they think someone...

I haven't watched "The Office" but I'm right there when it comes to "My Name is Earl".....I don't usually bother with sitcoms and I'm not really sure why I bothered to tune into this one but I'm sure glad I did. Hopefully it stays fresh....Maybe I'll have to give the office a chance. As far as...

I have played since the days of OD&D and have always moved along as the game evolved and while I have enjoyed each edition greatly I don't miss them. That being said some of my favourite stories to tell come from OD&D and from 1st Ed., of course I played alot more back then so I guess that...

Fair enough, and I have certainly failed my fair share of them and never been angry. I suppose it's not "save or die" that I don't like so much as the more or less out of the blue save or die that this seemed to be. However, as you say, the players seem okay with all of this and if they are...

29 years of Roleplaying with I don't know how many truly odd people and I really can't top that one. I'd like to say that that sort of naivity is refreshing but truthfully it is kinda scarey.

Generally the dice do that voodoo that they do so well. That being said, I will sometimes work it a bit to save the party from a TPK situation if the dice have just gone to hell in a handbasket. There have been occasions where the party hasn't been able to find the high side of their dice and...

Cool bit of dialog but the whole thing seems a bit forced. Save or die is never fun and can make the player angry or upset when it goes bad. A real RBDM (and here I am in the camp of Shilsen) makes the player(s) angry. There is a very big difference, one makes for a tough night at the table...

I voted yes, I like to see backgrounds that take the traditional classes out of the box. I would have certain reservations about some aspects but nothing major. As an aside... have you read a novel by John Steakley called VAMPIRE$, I think you will see a great deal of Cedric in Jack Crow...

I gotta go along with this assesment - psionics - it didn't work for me in 2nd Ed, didn't work for me in 3rd Ed and I ain't biting in 3.5... (probably). And just to be complete - the rules about psionics in 1st didn't really do much for me either (but at least an entire book wasn't wasted on it...

don't use it, never even gave it any consideration. As far as it simplifying things..... I'm not sure how it can make what is a pretty simple procedure any more simple. About the only reason i would ever consider it is the one put forward by Crothian as I like to run a campaign that...

I probably average around 5.5 hours a night. I am a night owl but life doesn't seem to want to revolve around my preferences. Go figure. I have a wife, 4 daughters and run a small business so time is at a premium.....besides even with 4 computers in the house I usually can't get on for any...

Nice save

While I have to admit they are pretty nasty they are also very one dimensional. They can do a pretty impressive amount of damage and they can always find the damage most appropriate to the target but they have no chance if the fight goes sour. They have no way to escape and no real protection...
