    Non Booting PC

    We tried that already. The problem is that we cannot read the HD, so taking off important files at this point cannot happen. Anytime you type DIR at a DOS prompt and it gives you an error, I start to suspect bad things. Using a floppy boot disk with all the normal dos utils, we were not able to...

    Non Booting PC

    Greetings, I'm having issues with my PC at work. It locked up on me during a shutdown, and after about 10 minutes I manually shut it down( It was sitting on a blue screen with a mouse pointer displayed, with no indication of anything happening, ie. drive lights off, no sounds etc...). Since...

    question about Malazan series

    This series is my favorite series by ANY author. I enjoyed GoM the first time I read it, and after each new book comes out, I start the series from the beginning again. Actually I think I have read GoM 8 times in the last 4 years or so. One thing you will realize only after reading several of...

    Will you accept fudging?

    Like if a buff spell/potion has expired/come into effect without them noticing visually or by other means. The point is that if the DM wants to fudge the encounter, given sufficient knowledge of the system the target values can be manipulated as well. All I am concerned with is that my...

    What functional difference is there in rolling in the open but keeping the target numbers secret (and therefore susceptible to 'fudging') and hidden rolling (and therefore susceptible to 'fudging') and having the target numbers known? Of course the combination of hidden rolling and secret...

    What level is appropriate to encounter save or die effects?

    I dislike them. I usually drop the affected character to-9 and then give them some kind of chance to stabilize, and allow their companions a chance to stabilize them as well. Of course this depends on the type of effect. They might stabilize after having a mountain drop on them, but then die...

    Calculating XP drives me crazy

    How about instead of XP penalties and costs, developing a 'Value' based costing system appropriate to your world. I.e. casting a spell might consume X GP in materials, PLUS you must sacrifice Y GP's worth of items( any items or specific items). The GP costs listed would be you prep costs, and...

    Spell Program?

    You could just use the same program that your mom uses. Granted the field headings would not be correct, but after all, it could be argued that spells are recipes. If it were me, I owuld be interested in the filtering and printing much more than the visual aspects of the program. It is the...

    Do you carry a pocketknife?

    I believe that is for a concealed knife, ie. pocket knife etc... If the blade is longer, you can carry it, but it cannot be hidden/concealed.
