Er...where would be a better place for EoN to put forward his/her theories about alignment than on a posting about alignment that he/she created? If you disagree about how alignment should be viewed that's fair but this seems like an ideal place for EoN to put views forth. If s/he just put the...

Is it any good? The game defaults to heroic goodness, so a BoED would need to have something pretty interesting to get my attention.

Some stuff we let slide... While we (players) track our spells, hit points and magic item uses, I don't think any of us track how many rations or arrows we use. Then again, I have a druid w/+12 wilderness lore and +5 PS:cook so I think that we kind of assume that we can eat off the land if we...

Knights of the High Road We are: Uskathoth (bonus points for recognizing the source of this name), smelly recluse, a Dwarf Druid 4/Fighter 2 Jaena, Paladin of Bahumat, Human Paladin 6 Einar, sailor & freedom fighter, Human Fighter 6 Bodi, trickster, Gnome Illusionist 4/Rogue 2 Desta Ne'...

To the best of my knowledge, WOTC is wholly owned by Hasbro. It is a part of Hasbro. Hasbro approves all WOTC content or it isn't published. It is like "Olive Garden" is part of Darden Restaurants. Malhavoc is not owned by White Wolf. They have some sort of distribution agreement with White...

The parade of humanity (and then some) The Hyatt is one of the con hotels. They have a lobby area with overstuffed couches right between the check-in desk and the hotel bar. It is a primo place for people watching and finding folks. The dealer's room, film rooms, escalators and art display...

Vacation/con plans I'm going with my sig. other so it's sort of a general Atlanta vacation mixed with con attendance. He's a big sci-fi geek but not a gamer so we'll be in and out of the con, seeing other Atlanta sights too. He's a fan of Thunderbirds so the puppetry museum may well make it...

I always get my elder gods confused... (mild spoiler alert for RttToEE) If I recall correctly, the drow in D3 who used tentacle rods worshipped The Elder Elemental God (aka Purple Eye and Tentacle God). In RttToEE it is revealed that the EEG is actually an aspect of Tharizdun. A Drow house...

Mmm...Beefy That's a pretty hot picture in a he-man, big, thrusting, phallic, laser-eye crocodile kind of way. You should start your own alt-usenet group. Of course, I used to have a crush on that guy who was always getting mauled by tigers while Marlin Perkins sold life insurance on the old...

Max ranks in a skill is (character level +3), right? So, if you were a 4th level rogue/5th level wizard, could you have 12 ranks in Decipher Script even thought it is a rogue exclusive skill? Thanks for any help.

Make 'em work We have had players play various NPC parts and that seems to work really well. For instance, you select a couple major NPC's to run but give everyone else an NPC to run in addition to their PC. Just give them a description, motivation and maybe a little bonus info to impart. For...

Originally posted by laiyna I think that are words from somebody who can look rational at a situation. I think you should look at the situation with some feelings. You only got a few facts: 2) A group of players is gulible enough to believe everybody they meet. ( "Hey did that person who eats...

Not even close... I have to agree with the original poster. Well, actually I like the game well enough but it's like Baldur's Gate not like D&D. I understand that a computer game can't replace real rpg but the single-player game doesn't seem significantly more like role-playing than BG or it's...

Good ol'...Byakhees? The gaming info on the DC website is very tentative but one possible Call of Cthulhu game is set in Hazzard County and the players are the Duke Boys, Daisy, Cleetus, etc. Now that I would like to see. Is the General Lee faster than a Nightgaunt? What appendix is that in...

I'm thinking about going to Dragon*Con in Atlanta (8/28-9/02) this year with my non-gaming but sci-fi geek partner. Is anyone else planning on going? Are there any "must see" events at the con or just really cool stuff to see in Atlanta in general? I've been before but don't know the town well...

Thanks! Overrun, that's it. Thanks.

Are there any rules for just moving through a space occupied by an enemy? I know you can tumble through or you can bull-rush them and knock them down/push them back but you end up in the same square as them. Are there any mechanics for just trying to blow right past them--I would think a 10th...

Reynold's rants Was the audience for this supposed to be game designers? If so it makes a little more sense. But if this was intended for players and dms, it's pretty sad. If my character says to an NPC, "You have proven yourself to be a capable warrior," I really don't want to hear him...

Boo Hiss! :) Kord is a free-spirited, party animal brawler--not an Ares or Heironeous-like battle god. He's a god of drunken arm wrestling rather than tactics and strategy. YMMV but the core rules already have a gods of just/unjust and strategic war, they don't need another one. A good hearted...

Can you smell what Kord is cooking? I've always identified Kord more as the pro-wrestler of the gods than the General MacArthur. He can spend the feat or multi-class--I would think Kord would have lots (mostly?) multi-class clerics. Besides, Kord would grapple a lot more opponents than he...
