You're welcome. I know it's easy for me to say because I am not involved, but try to stay positive. I have seen depression lay waste to people's lives and also effect those close to them - be better than that. Never underestimate the power of a smile and of laughter. Cheers

Funny, after I typed that in I was wondering if that was really true or not. Thanks for the link, it was most informative. end hijack

However, for the last three sessions I've had one player rolling a d20 for random encounters and he has rolled no lower than a 19 on five or six consecutive rolls - much to the chargin of his fellow party members (19-20 being a random encounter).

Another bad roller: The Cleric in my game has a Will save of +20 and he seems to roll a frickin 1 at least once per session. High level Clerics failing their Will saves can make a tough battle into a very deadly one in a hurry.... Dominated Cleric pretends to be curing a PC and casts Harm...

Of course you are sad, man, you just lost a friend. That is normal, and I am sorry for your loss. I also cannot discount the paranormal. How often have you heard that we use only a tiny fraction of our brain? Perhaps you have some type of insight, but you have to come to terms with it. If this...

I will emphatically third that. Learn the mechanics of PnP DMing before broadening your horizons. The less time you spend looking stuff up the better (and smoother) your game will run.

They can wag their tongues ad infinitum, it won't sway me from the fact that this game was designed to be played any way a group sees fit. There are no rules, there are only guidelines, and, moreover, Cheers, and many thanks for all the fun I've had playing this wonderful game.

Good morning, Gary. I always wondered why there were such high ability scores needed to create a Druid, Ranger or Paladin back in OD&D. What was the thinking behind that? Amen. All you Rules Lawyers hear that?

Eric Noah World. He started these boards. That was before Morrus usurped him ;)

Technically, jvdn1 & irdeggmon are both correct. Slow does not prevent a PC w/ Combat Reflexes from taking all his AoOs. However, it seems counter-intuitive to me that said PC would get to take all of his AoOs. I would rule that the PC could not take any AoOs, or possibly just one. But hey...

<tears in my eyes> ...... holy sh**, dude. That is funny. I especially loved this little gem: "My name is all over the cover made out of bones that are on fire. there are also snakes crawling around the bones. But the snakes are not affected by the fire. They are magical snakes." I gota go...

This is some solid advice. Let him go and focus yourself on your campaign and the players that DO like to be there.

Removed - Henry Dude, totally tactless.

There's nothing wrong with being into sports. I love sports, even still participate in some, but I also design flower gardens for a living, bake, grow and can fruits and vegetables (all not stereotypically manly). But that's what I enjoy. I think the point here is that many guys get tired of...

LOL - Man did 2E turn me off. An interesting thread. I can't help but think that nostalgia plays a small role in 1E feel as well. Like a song of innocnce before the world of experience starts to engulf you (Swallow Whole (Ex) ) Cheers

I don't know if you were being facetious or not, but that IS what we use for our ship battles - or at least a modified version of it. WS&IM is a very, very strategic game that has given me endless hours of frustration. It's chess at sea - which, I would imagine, is how naval battles really...

Yes, this is likely an issue that will be very divisive. I'd like to weigh in, but sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and not suffer the circumstances. Cheers

You know, I hardly miss that kidney anymore.......... :uhoh: Welcome to the fold. Cheers

You can't have my books, you can't have my books. No! No! :) Get the 3 core books and have at. There are modules galore out there to be had for a song. And don't forget to check the potion miscibility table if a PC drinks more than one potion.... ;) ..... ah, 1977, who is this middle-aged man...

This would be more correct if the attacker was simply trying to do subdual damage to the Stirge - which isn't a bad option. Our group has always played with a 25% chance of missing the target and hitting the friendly. THIS IS NOT in the rules of the game <looks around to see if Hyp is still...
