And like clockwork, I come here for my second visit of the day, and it's happened again.

The strangest thing is that this has never happened on my first visit of the day to EN World. It's always my second and later visits of the day that produce the problem. In any case, Opera 9.01 (which I installed today) does include a cookie handling fix in it, but I'm thinking if it was...

This is more than once in a while. About 8 times now since Monday, three times just this evening.

Anyone else having this problem? It's been happening for me all week, usually in the evenings. I come to the messageboards and there's all kind of new messages showing on the forums list, but when I go into one of the forums (usually Meta, since I read the boards from the bottom up), all the...

Maybe's it all the Floyd I've been listening to since Syd Barrett died, but this one came to me pretty much all at once. Comfortably Dumb (with apologies to Roger Waters) Hello It's an enemy spellcaster I think he wants to kill me. Man I hate that little gnome. Come on now, I'd better take...

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/frx/whatis www.candlekeep.com Wizards of the Coast's "What is the Realms?" page is a decent primer, if you haven't seen it yet. Candlekeep is probably the best known FR fansite. If they don't have what you're looking for, you should be able to pick up...

Compared with the version in Unapproachable East, Ball Lightning no longer allows the caster to create multiple balls which can be used against multiple targets. It does more damage, and has a higher damage cap, but a successful Reflex save now negates all damage instead of only half. The...

Yes. Instead of clicking the thread title, click the little icon beside the thread title that looks piece of paper with a starburst on it. That'll take you to the first unread post in the thread. (Or thereabouts, sometimes it takes me a few posts down, but it's usually pretty close.) A...

If he is, it's about time. Ever since I first saw that feat I've been trying to convince various DMs to let me play a pair of dwarven druid shapeshifters with that feat. Of course to activate their shapechange they'd have to touch fists and say "Thunder Twin Powers Activate!" It's so hard to...

You probably never heard of them because like most philosophy majors Deep Dwarves don't actually use their degree in any form you'd recognize as philosophizing. Many Deep Dwarves go on to teach Dwarven Literature to uninterested teenagers. A few go on to practice Dwarven Law. A lucky rare few...

Granted. I didn't mean every single second of every game session. That's unrealistic. On the whole, however, there should be a pretty even distribution of fun. I could reword it so that it goes something like "Avoid any behavior which will lead your players to posting a thread on ENWorld...

Well for starters off the top of my head: Be fair. Don't play favorites among the players or characters. Don't have fun at the expense of the players' fun. Don't let the players have fun at the expense of your or the other players' fun. Don't use the game to work through your personal...

Put them in the oven. It's been years since I've done this, but I wanna think it works best at about 350F on a flat pan (like a cookie sheet) that's big enough for an entire sheet of paper. The paper will get brown and somewhat brittle. Another trick I've used is to draw the map by hand on...

I can't decide if I want you to be correct or not here. If you are correct it means a new edition is close enough on the horizon that it's impacting WotC's release strategy already. If you're not correct, my favorite setting might be in trouble. Of course FR could still be in trouble even...

2005 had 4 FR sourcebooks and 1 adventure, up from 3 sourcebooks and no adventures the previous two years. 2006 dropped back down to 3 sourcebooks and 1 adventure, but none of them were regional books, which does make 2006 seem a bit light compared to 2005. In the whole 3E era there has never...

Umm, don't hold your breath. Given this line of text from the Cormyr adventure description: "This adventure can be run as a standalone adventure or as Part One of an epic three-part series of hardcover adventures set in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting." I wouldn't be surprised if those...

It depends on which side of the DM screen I'm on. As a DM I always want simpler. Simpler rules means fewer things for me to keep track of, which means I can better focus on other things, like keeping the game interesting for the players. As a player, simpler often translates to fewer options...

Sounds like your girlfirend isn't a morning person. All the not-morning people I know do the multi-snooze thing. My alarm clock is about three steps from the bed, so I can't shut it off and roll over and go back to sleep and be late for work like I used to do. Between that and the high...

Wow, the way you describe that it almost sounds like it makes waking up a into a pleasant experience. Definitely better than the red alert klaxon my alarm clock attacks me with every morning.
