    What is Your *Character's* Favorite Beverage?

    I had an in character post typed up but for some reason Enworld logged me out when I hit "Send reply". I am not typing it up again. Suffice to say I chose "other", by which I meant "lamp oil." I would also like to cite fire resistance as the single most entertaining trait belonging to Tieflings.

    What 0th-level spells should any Wizard have?

    I voted Prestidigitation, Detect magic and Read magic. Always take prestidigitation. The fun factor of this spell is immense.

    So, I have words for TicketMaster...

    You've completely missed the point... No blame is being placed on Ticketmaster for the mistake. We're irate because their customer service policy is, in a nutshell, "Go :):):):) yourself." You go out to a restaurant. You order. You suddenly realize that you ordered the wrong with. Your waiter...

    Please review these house rules---all input much appreciated.

    I've had a group that tried this and ultimately ditched it. Ultimately it's a lot of work for very little gain. Think of it this way, the PC with a +7 to initiative will still end up going first or near first in every round. The one with -2 to init will still likely end up going last. The amount...

    Ahhhh....coffee. Whats your favorite?

    Dunkin Donuts if I'm out of the house. When I'm making coffee at home it depends on if we're talking grounds or beans. For coffee grounds I like Melitta. It's a bit pricy when compared to things like Maxwell House or "Chock Full o' Nuts" (both brands I'd previously used) but it's worth it. If...

    EN World Short Story Smackdown - FINAL: Berandor vs Piratecat - The Judgment Is In!

    Any time after this Friday is good for me for the next round. I've got one last final exam on that day. Been busy in the mean time. I got around to reading Berandor's story. Really liked the premise. Still haven't read the others but I'd like to. Bah. Well, off to hit the books, handouts...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Oy. I would never create sudden and elaborate to block my PC's from doing something. They're too clever for it anyway. As a DM in this situation it might have been better to... 1: Suck it up. The players found a way to deal with something in an unexpected way. It happens. My players recently...

    EN World Short Story Smackdown - FINAL: Berandor vs Piratecat - The Judgment Is In!

    Dunno, but it sounds familiar. On the other side of the fence there's the adage (I'm paraphrasing), "You never finish a work, you just abandon it." That one's helped me immensely. There comes a point where one needs to stop fretting over every last detail and just put up the goods. In any...

    I realize now that I forgot to post the pics in with the story. Not sure if the spoiler tag is necessary but figured I'd include it anyway. Sorry folks. I have the organizational ability of a potted plant. Pic 1 (The nerd) shows up right at the front. First sentence. Pic 2 (The naked lady)...

    Ernest Stibman as Penelope Dondelinger in The Other World, PT-2 In the morning they packed some of the coarse bread and a pair of canteens but little else.

    This is going to come right down to the wire. I forgot I was visiting my folks this weekend and the trip's taken a little time away. D'oh! About 80% done.
