    Help!

    Fixed! Okay, so with the_bruiser there was no problem, that's all I needed. As far as I can tell, problem fixed by using that account - I've changed password and done a test post. Thanks again.

    My latest, greatest take on Hit Points

    Hit Points The thing that's always gotten me about ANY escalating hit point system is the aspect of healing - why should you need to heal your 'skill'? I can see how someone really tough can withstand more damage, but for it to take 20x the healing to 'fix' a high-level fighter compared to a...

    Any Gamers in South Carolina?

    Mostly on Sunday afternoons - usually 2-6pm. We try to play every 2-3 weeks, but sometimes it get a little hairy playing even that often :) - we've only four regular players, so if two can't make it... Interested?

    Any gamers in Charlotte, NC area?

    Well, it's great that you're interested. I don't want to call the campaign 'low-powered', exactly, but think of it as character-powered rather than item- or magic-powered :). We level up quickly but with few magic items. That probably makes you think that spellcasters would be broken, but...

    Any gamers in Charlotte, NC area?

    Heero - Yes, I run a game in Charlotte. We play once every 2-4 weeks, usually on Sunday afternoons at about 4 hours per session. It's an established campaign with some quirky campaign rules, but I'll be happy to send you some info if you're interested. Hickory's a long drive, but I do have a...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Wow. I won't bore you by going on and on about how much joy I've gotten from D&D, but I do want to say thanks. It's affected my life in some great ways, including better confidence in speaking, quick-thinking, responding to interpersonal situations - in other words, it's been great not just...

    Potions effecting multiple people

    It is my understanding that it affects only you., though I can't guarantee that that's not an assumption on my part. More importantly, I think you meant "affects," not "effects" :).

    How to houserule/tweak Grim-n-Gritty Revised?

    I allow this as well through use of feats; this is a conversion of toughness / imp toughness / [monster] toughness feats. Last I read, Hood recommends limiting this to three. Here we’re just getting into opinion, but I would never allow this. A key feature in my mind of the G&G system is...

    Building a Better Tumble

    This is exactly how we play both rules. Not sure whether I got that rule on these boards, some book, made it up myself, or what, but I agree - in our experience, this is the best way to play both.

    EN-World/Community Support Without Paypal? How?

    I posted a similar query last night but can't find it now. Is there a way for me to send Morrus a check or something? I don't like using a CC# online for any reason; call me paranoid, I know... but hey, I've got money ready to send to somebody :).

    Upgrade Bug Hunt!!

    Well, after YOUR post, mine started showing for some reason (both my second and my original)... is (was?) this a me problem or a board problem?

    Upgrade Bug Hunt!!

    Second Question While I'm at it, is there a way to support that doesn't involve using a CC#? I would be happy to send $35 to Morrus by check!

    Upgrade Bug Hunt!!

    First Post Doesn't Show Hello all. Sorry for the bother, I'm not sure if this is even the right place to ask. When I click on a thread, the originating post does not show up; the threads start at post #2. Not sure what I might have clicked on to cause this. Any help would be appreciated...

    Help vs. Scrying

    Back from Christmas vacation. I just want to say thanks to you guys for such great comments and advice. 1) There are only two clerics in Stoink both willing and able to do the scrying, so that helps, there will only be one or two attempts per day. 2) As far as I can tell, scrying on the...

    Help vs. Scrying

    Thanks for all your comments thus far. I'll address a few points: Yes, Iuz' clerics are willing to help in this case, their cooperation with local authorities has been established, and they have the ability to do scrying. Scrying back doesn't help very much - we already know who is scrying on...

    Help vs. Scrying

    Hello all. I'm DMing a relatively low-magic, gritty-feeling campaign in Greyhawk's Bandit Kingdoms. We've currently played over 30 sessions, and I'm running into a problem. I want as best I can to play the party's foes "realistically," in a setting where *most* of the NPCs are evil, including...

    Ways to earn xp?

    I'm on board with Shilsen. After our sessions are done, I tag the session with a 1, 2, or 3, with 3 being best, based on the group getting started on time, people playing in character and not getting distracted, and just in general getting stuff accomplished. So the way I play the characters...
