    Movie Quotes Fun!

    "Do you know anything about a guy going around playing the harmonica? He's someone you'd remember. Instead of talking, he plays. And when he better play, he talks." - Cheyenne, Once Upon a Time in the West

    Someone stole 6000 posts from me

    The gnome-ing was fun, but then Morrus sold out to travelocity and the big corporation had to go and ruin it; gnomes every where. :)

    Sense of wonder?

    I agree with Mark's gobbledegook. The DM can really keep the "sense-of-wonder" going. My group has just shifted from one DM to another (we rotate about every 6 months). The first DM spent his 6 months sending us up against nothing but Apes and Dire Apes. No sense-of-wonder there, after a...

    How many times?

    Tried it once without being logged in and nothing happened so my brilliant brain said "hey, maybe you need to log in" So I logged in an tried it again. Then realized it was April 1st. (And I always wanted a sig, just couldn't think of anything witty so this will do for now.)

    X-PATH 2 : The Forge of F.U. (Completed 15 April 2005)

    Nice update! I find the multiple uses for the work "ninja" very funny. This one really cracked me up for some reason! :)

    Hexes or Squares?

    That's pretty much what the DM said as to why he gave the PC's a flank.

    What are your table rules?

    Looking up for summons or polymorph is fine. What isn't OK is: DM: It's a Dark Naga. PC: Oh, what's that do? *Grabs Monster Manual*

    What are your table rules?

    A rule we use that I haven't seen listed here is: "No player is allowed to read the Monster Manual (or similar book) at the table" Basically, if you don't know what a creature can do, your character will find out the hard way.

    How do you buy and sell magic items?

    If the PC has the cash they can buy anything out of the DMG. This would be limited by the size of the town or city (as described in the DMG), but if they want something and it's within the price range of the town or city, then the PC's can just buy it.

    Hexes or Squares?

    Yeah, I'd like to do it too, but my current DM is one of the worst about arguing interpretations. He won't just make decision, he makes a decision then explains why, which causes someone else to question his reasoning, and the seemingly neverending discussion is on! Actually, 3rd edition has...

    Hexes or Squares?

    Everything you said in your soapbox is very true (I just snipped it to save quoting space). But another truism is that a group should know it's own idiosyncrasies. And I know that for my group we really, really need everything explicitly shown as accurately on the map as possible to avoid...

    Hexes or Squares?

    Yeah, a little more accuracy in us drawing on the hex would help, but it doesn't happen for our group. I've gamed with the same guys for about 15 years and the DM and the players assuming different things from looking at the same map is a common problem. :\ As per MerakSpielman's question...

    Hexes or Squares?

    It's not really a problem with a hex map itself, but more of a problem with my DM's drawing skill and his quickly tracing a room and having walls poorly positioned becuase he can't just follow a straight line to connect them up. Then we'll try to get into some of the partial hexes and be told...
