I've only had one DM who insisted that all spellcasters track their components for all their spells. It was a major pain. As a DM I will never put players of spellcasters through that. So yeah, it's essentially free Eschew Materials all around when I'm behind the DM screen. I've even played...

This is the fastest I've seen it in ages. I get page load times in a popup bar in Opera, and right now pages are loading so fast the bar is disappearing before I can even read it. By comparison, page loads of 30 seconds(occasionally) to several minutes(frequently) were the norm before the...

Sure, if you think getting the attention of deities of chaos, trickery, madness, and rock & roll will actually help the situation.... Seriously, if there's a need for beta-testing (especially with Opera), or other moderately technical stuff (like "strip all the bold, italic, and underline HTML...

Is there anything that folks like me who can't program can do to help?

You might start with your JavaScript settings. I tried switching JavaScript off just now and the pulldown menus quit working. Turned it back on and they were back again.

That looks cool, Mark. I've yoinked your modification for my own signature.

babomb, you are Da Funny. The fort save one was particularly good. Here's the only one I have: If I have broad sword that is a thousand years old is it the Millenium Falchion?

Everyone Else has 3.0 stats for a non-noble butler/steward/seneschal at various levels, and goes the Expert route. They also have stats for a noble-born administrator which uses the Aristocrat class. It's been a while since I read it so I don't recall the specifics, but A Magical Medieval...

I'm only a few pages into it, but it seems like the newly-released Dragons of Faerûn has something right along those lines. It's even called the DracoRage. Oh and Mark, that's a pretty handy download you're offering there, thanks. When I get around to downloading the WotC article, I'm gonna...

I would've made it a whole month, but didn't wanna look like I was sucking up or anything. :) Plus, I'm not sure Somebody Else could deal with the complaints and keep the place running smoothly for that long.

Being of no one with any authority here whatsoever, I do hereby greatly overstep my place and declare August 13 to 19 to be Morrus Appreciation Week. For this week, all dice that Morrus rolls will automatically be treated as if he'd naturally rolled the highest possible result. For this week...

More likely all the complaint threads lately. It's probably time to declare a Morrus Appreciation Week. In fact.... [Wanders off to hit the New Topic Button]

Go for it! Maybe toss in some obviously fake "news" blips as well. Once a year isn't often enough for April Fools Day, and a yearly Gen Con Fools Day could be a lot of fun.

I haven't seen it, and certainly wasn't aiming to slam it. Just commenting on the general pattern that today's "coolest thing ever" is often next year's "why did I buy that?"

The problem with gnomes is that their main niche outside of the game is whimsy. Whimsy is something a lot people, at least on this side of the Atlantic, don't seem to understand very well. Whimsy is subtle, playful, joyful, and a bit outside the expected. The best recent example I can recall...

The only purchases I actively regret are the Star Wars Rebel Storm Miniatures. I went spend-crazy on those things, and the tiny bit of joy I got out of the few games I played doesn't begin to make up for the insane amount of money I spent on them. The only benefit is that that experience...

Gonna have to be Other, because it's more than one of the choices. The first RPG I ever bought was the old FASA Doctor Who RPG. Wasn't looking for it, it was just shelved near the Sci-Fi & Fantasy books at Waldenbooks and caught my eye, and eventually enough interest to spend my very limited...

I'm only buying WotC products at this point (and mostly FR books at that), but if they disappeared off Amazon, I'd just roll my gaming budget over into CDs and DVDs and order them from Amazon instead of the gaming books. I like Amazon a lot, and not just for their discounts (although I won't...

Switching around whether I come to the forums directly or via the main page didn't make any difference for me.

That explains why it never happens on my first visit of the day. I shut my computer off in the morning before I go to work, so my first visit of the day in on a fresh browser session. In the evenings though I leave my browser running all the time. Out of curiosity, Varianor and Cheiromancer...
