    [Venting] I feel a bit dirty...

    He also said which implies that D&D is better than all the other game systems because no other game system has 'knocked it off its perch'.

    [Venting] I feel a bit dirty...

    not a good example. Just because a product is at the top does not mean it is the best. The QWERTY keyboard layout is the top keyboard layout even though it was designed to slow typing to prevent keys from jamming. The Dvorak keyboard though faster has never really taken off. And then there...

    [Venting] I feel a bit dirty...

    Alignment: I haven't seen any posts that say it should remain exactly the same, so I'd say it is fair game for changing. Personally I think d20 modern is the right way to go with allegiances at least to keep the alignment flavor while giving people the option of gray. Vancian Magic: I hope...

    Dragon #355

    A very good thing. It warmed my heart and brought a stream of fluttery images into my mind....of how once...long ago when I was a teenager, I ran a very good encounter with one....I'm sure the players remember it otherwise. I've had a sweet spot for them ever since.

    Basic GM mistakes

    I've seen this happen a lot. It is the small things that are telling. I mean on the surface I haven't seen the exact same character, but you do get windows in the subconscious of the players. The reason is pretty obvious, they've invested part of themselves into the character. Play with the...

    Greatest roll ever

    I rarely remember rolls...but there is one from Ars Magica that I remember...it was the worst roll ever. Our troupe was fighting some infernal nasties in an infernal regio and our only mage with us at the time botches using some vis.....he had to roll again to see how bad a botch...and kept...

    No Sallah in Indiana Jones IV?

    big time suckage. Johnathan Rhys-Davies deserves better. He is a great actor and I can't think of any movies that his presence hasn't added to the scene in a positive way. I've liked him as an actor ever since James Clavell's Shogun in 1980. They are fools for not including him in the...

    Dragon #355

    I got my issue yesterday and wow it rocks. It came within a day of Dungeon which has never happened before. I bounced when I saw the cave fisher. I was disappointed that the saintly domains didn't list the Mulhorandi Gods like the sin domains did. I thought the art over all was awesome this...

    Stargate: SG1 4-13-07

    ah that explains it. Not pirating...time shifting. ;) At least for TV in the US, that is ok. I thought I had missed the whole end of the sg1 season... I'll edit and block that spoiler...sorry. What I think is funny is I complained to my fiance about not seeing anything in the media Lounge...

    Survivor - Fiji (spoilers)

    agreed. I think Mookie realized he was in trouble and tried to reach out to Dreamz... unfortunately I think he should have done it when he was alone with Dreamz and painted it as the others wanted him not to tell Dreamz. Dreamz is an idiot for not voting out Stacy....I think he gets off on...

    How do Vampires travel???

    Libris Mortis also introduced the concept that the vampires needed to energy drain someone once a day. very silly from an otherwise good book.

    Oots 439

    By that calculator, he should not get any xp...but at least he'd get 4108.2 gp which should be just fine by Belkar.

    Cambion racial stat modifiers - WTF?

    I prefer James' version of the CAMBION and ALU-DEMON.

    Just got the CD with issues 1-250; What is best, IYNSHO?

    Has anyone tried the software with Microsoft's Vista? I've managed to get it to work under 98, NT, 2000, and XP, but I am a bit worried about Vista.

    Cambion racial stat modifiers - WTF?

    they put a lot of thought into it...and then give a way out by taking just one more level adjustment penalty (in for a penny and all that)......the Cha penalty goes away and they get a int bonus to boot..(and a difference of +10 wis, +2 str, dex, & con)
