Quotes I can attribute to her... "I want elf boots +12" and "When can I cast fireball?" For the first... oh, probably 8 years of our relationship my wife was not a gamer. She thought it was a little silly. Then a bit more than a year ago she started expressing some interest in forming a...

My druid (Jansen Greensleeves) died last session :( He got nailed by an Ogremage's iceblast and bombed his saving throw taking him down to -11 HP. I rocked the dice on statrolling for his replacement though so I'm putting the finishing touches on a Paladin to take his place. He's a temporary...

I actually designed a dwarven society once that was based on the 18th-19th century British in India. In other words, they were... jerks. First step was to take advantage of their advanced metalworking skills to make exceptional weapons and armour for humans. Second step was to scout the...

I've heard that when Diaglo referees OD&D (1974) your attributes are pressed into clay tablets that are then left to dry in the sun. His players are encouraging him to switch to vellum just so that character creation doesn't take a week of sunny weather.

Apology accepted, no worries. That said, I'm not sure I agree with you, at least with the respect of the balance pertaining to older editions. I might put forward the suggestion that older editions (I'll use 1st as my example) were still balanced... just not balanced in the same way as a 3rd...

Ok... well that was more vitriol than I expected. Perhaps I'll just back away slowly...

If you have it kicking around, go flip open the cover of your 2nd edition PHB, or DMG. Dave Cook was lead developer. He also wrote "Oriental Adventures" back in 1st ed. The others were writers. Dave Cook left TSR in the mid 90's to develop computer games. Steve Winters stuck around Wizards...

Came here from Eric Noah's Unofficial 3rd Edition News shortly after 3rd ed came out and myself and a few other forumites started trying to develop a campaign setting called Daemonforge.

Yep... this was me. YouTube - Weezer - In The Garage Of course if we're talking about what I was listening to... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7y7EvcnnKw

Because like I said before, uniformed and offended has worked so well for RPG's in the past.

Shadowrun's dev. process has been a bit of a gong show recently. CGL is dealing with a whole new stable of freelancers and trying to co-ordinate between the lot of them. I only recognize one of the authors names from the author credits for example.

Because taking book quotes out of context has worked so well for RPG's in the past right? *edit* just so I'm being perfectly clear, I do believe that War is a flawed book on many levels, particularly when compared to the work they were producing prior to the Lorn Coleman incident. It has...

Ok... gonna try and tread lightly here. First: This is not the first time Auschwitz has been detailed. It got a similar treatment in Shadows of Europe back in 2003 or 2004. There was no outcry there. Again you'll see the reference to ghosts, but it also refers you to the section of Magic...

Lemme see if I can try to explain... Spirits in Shadowrun are pretty weird when it comes to exactly what they are. When a mage or shaman or any other awakened someone summons one they are a tabula rasa and their 'form' is created out of a combination of what the summoner percieves them to be...

Oh, I agree that the writer didn't know what the hell he was talking about. Like I said in my initial post CGL lost a lot of their best writers last March. That said, there has been instances in the past of SR writers referring to 'ghosts'. There are 'ghosts' in the Renraku archeology...

Not what's happening. Dealing with a bunch of spirits who have been corrupted by the bad astral space around the camp, pursuing a rumor that the same astral taint has imbued several artifacts with magical properties is what's going on. Again, this premise was initially set up in Shadows of...

Assume that their plans work. To me at least there is nothing more frustrating than knowing what your goal is, and trying to get there but constantly having roadblocks thrown up at you until you somehow stumble across the magic 'right' way to get from A-B. When you do figure it out there's no...

Couple of things I'll point out. 1) There are a lot of people with an axe to grind with CGL right now so that's coming out in the reviews. 2) The writing quality for SR has taken a beating over the past year. They lost a lot of their really good staff and freelancers, I keep buying trying to...

Keep at it. My tuesday night B/X game just passed its one year mark. We're well on our way to name level

First off, welcome to ENworld. I might have a slightly different suggestion especially if you want to do it on the cheap. I might suggest actually going to staples or office depot and picking up a pad of poster sized graph paper with 1 inch squres. I got one for about 4 bucks and it has...
