    What's wrong with my computer?

    Last Friday I picked up a computer virus (one of those you've got viruses! buy this 2009 programs). I ran Stopzilla which dealt with the program. Everything seems good. When I picked up the virus I was doing two things a) clearing cookies from my and B) resetting a password for another forum...

    D&DI: The Price is Right

    Keep in mind that you still have to search *each and every* PDF. In 5 years time, that will be 60 PDFs for Dragon Magazine alone. Double that if the new magic item you're looking for actually appeared in Dungeon Magazine. But they are supposed to put that into the rules compendium. So we...

    New Advenure from Dungeon up...The Haunting of Kincep Mansion...

    I just download this adventure. Haven't had time to read it but I did notice that the shield now says "Paragon 11-20". The shield guardians still have the same intiative modifier.

    Farscape Q

    I am thinking about buying the Farscape DVD for my viewing pleasure. (If I can get past the sticker shock, they are very expensive). Anyways, what is the difference between the orginal release and the starburst editions? Does anyone know where I might get them for less than a house mortgage...

    OotS #570 Is Up, Including Critical Interpretations of Burlew's Style & OotS Content

    Does anyone know when the next book is coming out? I figure he has enough material for 2 or 3 books depending on how he groups the strips.

    "chest attatched orb" I am so disappointed this thread isn't about warforged boobies. ;)

    WotC Official PDF versions - would you buy them?

    I prefer physical books waaaaaayyyy more than PDFs. Reading those things on the screen is just a pain. So there is no way I’m going spend full price on a PDF. And if I can’t afford the book, then I’ll just have to do without. The guy who came up with the Kindle for amazon mentioned a few...

    D&D 4E Every 4E discussion I have ever seen, in a nutshell

    Snappy Answers to 4e Complaints Complaint: I hate 1-1-1-1 diagonal movement! It’s too much like a board game. Snappy Answer: 4e has a much greater emphasis on the far realm. It’s non-Euclidian nature is leaking in. It’s supposed to drive you mad. C: And I don’t like how they are not...

    Spells which you dont allow

    I imagine that Rope Trick and Goodberry make resting too easy. And Goodberries last 1 day per level. That means a 7th level druid could cast all of his spells on Goodberry (gaining an average of 5 berries per spell) and end up with enough food to last a party a week. Personally, I like that...

    How big are the rocks that giants throw?

    454 grams to the pound. Doing a rough calculation I get my 50 lb rock coming in at about a foot in diameter. (Basketball sized). Oh, and to answer the OP's orginal question, I imagine them being thrown like baseballs.

    How big are the rocks that giants throw?

    Well, judging from the Princess Bride, not very big at all. But then again, Andre the Giant doesn't weight 1100 pounds. I looked up shotputs on wikipedia. A shot put weighs 16 pounds ( the world record distance is 75 feet). So multiplying the weight by six gives us about 106 pounds...

    Would you allow Diplomacy the ability to insult as well as negotiate?

    I would allow it in a heartbeat. It's the art of being catty. "Darling, I just love that dress you're wearing. It takes a bold, daring, and individualistic person to pull of last years fashions like that." The actual words used are complimentary, but the tone (and final result) of the...

    What were the problems with 2nd ed?

    The five saves were: paralyzation/poison/death magic rod/staff/wand breath weapon spells petrification/polymorph There were four types of advancement depending on your class (fighter, cleric, wizard, thief) with each class being better at one of the catagories. Clerics, for example, excelled...

    I like that explanation. At least it explains why the power continues to work if the Warlord decides to run like a Paladin. ;)
