Just to throw in my $.02: I'd allow them to take 20 on a disguise check. If I felt like making it complicated, I'd put a cap on it: If disguising to look "different from before", I'd limit their success to: 20 + highest spot modifier in the group + circumstantial bonuses (+8 or +10, depending...

I'm looking for a bunch of free adventures, preferably in .pdf, that I can mine for NPC's, maps, ideas, etc. I found a few on WoTC's site, and they're ok...but I'd love to find more. Are there any sites that maintain a huge link library to good PDF adventures? Specifically, I'm looking for...

If you're looking to play WoW, don't spend *all* your money on a video card. Instead, buy some more RAM if your comp can handle it. Upgrading from 512M to 1G made the game run without any slideshows for me. Spider

I introduced a ring in one campaign that masks any magical aura on the subject. Essentially a "Magic Aura" effect that persistently affects the wearer. It didn't prevent detection via True Seeing or the like, but it worked against those pesky Detect Magic spells that kept getting thrown...

Many years ago, when I was playing Vampire: The Masquerade, I stumped the DM a bit: My character had unknowingly impregnated his girlfriend only a few days before he got embraced. Unfortunately, the girlfriend was a promising member of clan Giovanni (can you say "rat bastard DM"?) Not wanting...

There's not much official info out there about the Mitsubishi pocket projector's brightness. I did find this article: http://www.insightmedia.info/news/CES05hilites.htm Not even their press release makes mention of the brightness...

The simple answer is: you can't. PDF's are designed to be read, not modified. That said, you can get around it in a few ways. Buy the full Acrobat authoring package, and you should be able to edit your PDF's. Or you can import them into Photoshop as images, erase the existing text, type...

Egh, the Looney Tunes died with Mel Blanc. I agree this looks horrid, but not much worse than any of the other atrocities committed against my childhood memories. Spider

I'll just chime in with my agreement on the RAM. I've upgraded my PC quite a bit, just for WoW: MB ASUS K8N-E DELUXE NF3 RTL CPU AMD 64 |3200+ ATHLON 64 512K (4) HD 80GB|HITC SATA 8MB (RAID 0 Array) 1GB PC2700 RAM RADEON 9700 PRO And between the 4-drive SATA RAID 0, the AMD64 3200+, 1G of RAM...

I'm looking to start up a hybrid Japanese/African campaign in the next couple of weeks. I rely heavily on http://www.pantheon.org for my sources. Spider

Well, you can always do wireless speakers. But they require batteries or outlets, so they're not always the best option. They also tend to be much more expensive than they're worth. In my house, I do one of two things--I either run a wireless network, and use my old laptop (with its headphone...

I was just thinking about this today. I like the idea of critical hits on undead, as it seems to fit with much of the body of lore surrounding them. Vampires must be staked through the heart or beheaded to be slain, both of which sound like critical hits to me. Zombies have to be shot in the...

Oh, yeah. If anyone doesn't already know about TV Tome, you should check it out. Here's the direct link to their Atlantis pages: http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-11415/ Spider

I just watched the first 2 episodes/premiere, and I have to agree with the above sentiments. I was hoping we'd see something dramatically different from the SG-1 format. Instead, it's just more of the same: . I do really like the fact that McKay is intentionally not very likeable. I hope...

I swear, you guys are so picky. There, happy now? :) Spider

This is very cool: http://www.google.com/sms/ You can send a text message from your cell phone to 46645 (googl), and get a response within a few minutes. So far, it's worked extremely well for me. Spider

The past few sessions I've run have been pretty off when it comes to pacing. It's a relatively new campaign, and I was trying to cover a huge amount of exposition (multiverse history, politics, power struggles, etc). I had a devil of a time trying to do that without everyone falling asleep...
