First of all, I do not know the Midnight setting at all, so this might not work. Idea: Give the character a curse. Make him immortal. Every time he 'dies' he comes back. The catch is that when he comes back he has aquired some kind of negative effect. It doesn't always have to be a game...

Ledgerdemain, or, Night at the Opera, Part 2 http://www.piratecat.org/spira/earlyledgerdemain2.htm This link is not working

I had a similar problem with my laptop. My laptop has onboard network port and a firewire port. There was a mini-port bridge that was bridging the two ports. I was having access problems when I noticed that both ports were running through the bridge. I deactivated the bridge, and activated the...

1) If only 2 or 3 hobgoblins are encountered, they should flee, 1 going for help, the other(s) staying just far enough ahead of the party that it can keep track of the party without becoming engaged in combat. 2) If 4 or 5 are encountered, again one should go for help, while the others decide...

Evading the blast may very well involve flinging oneself to the side in a violent manner. The rogue may not sustain damage, but the small relatively fragile critter in his pocket may find itself ground into the dirt (while within the shirt) during the evasion attempt. You might want to have a...

I think this represents the problem quite well. I remember learning math in school by using very 'rote' like methods. We were never really taught how to even distinguish between material and abstract. We were just told 'this is how it is' and expected to do so. It wasn't until I started...

I generally give the caster a word by word translation. Understanding of the writer's grammer is not included. If the writer is using a similar grammatical structure then the two messages (original and translated) will be similar, but in cases of vast grammatical differences, (such as between...

Randomly :cool:

Winnipeg made it into sluggy today. Hooray!

Speaking of the spheres, I set up an adventure for my players to retrieve what they thought was an 'artifact', the Talisman of the Spheres. They were hired by a shadowy secretive Mages guild. The kicker is, that one of the characters is a wizard, and he KNEW what the Talisman was, and what it...

Next time it might be more fair to direct the suggestion to everyone, not just one individual. I know it would be nice to expect everyone else to learn from the mistakes of others, but realistically it ain't going to happen.

I think the whole concept of 'the political spectrum' is wrong. I see it as more of a line , a continuous line with no beginning and no end, but not infinite. Yup, a circle. Left and right are merely mirror images of each other. The words and descriptions may change, but the results invariable...

I don't accept your argument. In my experience your argument is used by people that really do not want to look at things through someone else's eyes. They are comfortable with their point of view and are unwilling to accept that other points of view exist, let alone may have validity. It is...

Except if it is MY philosophy, in which case I KNOW it is right and yours is wrong ;)

Another Winnipeger.

If you have a licenced OEM CD for Win 95 or Win 98, all you need is an ***UPGRADE*** CD of Win XP. The Win 95 or 98 Does not have to be installed, but you need to have the physical CD. That will save you a few bucks.

I think this is the key. I don't think anyone can fully understand these books after a single reading, or second, or third ... ;) I have read all five so far, and Midnight Tides has a different yet similar feel to it. A bit more humor in it similar to that shown by Kruppe in GotM. I find...

I usually start at 2 to 3 times the 'book' rate in PHB. I like to give them room to haggle. They almost never do :(

If you trip them could that not be interpreted as a change in direction, so then the charge would no longer be in effect.

I generally read the whole book through. I do find that the less I try to analyze the book/author, the more enjoyable it becomes to me. Entertainment value is the only true criteria when judging a fiction novel. To be fair, the way I read may have something to do with it. I tend to read whol...
