    True Dungeon VIP April 3-4 - looking for other participants

    Hello everyone, I'm planning to go to True Realm this coming April -- the VIP tickets go on sale this Saturday, October 18th! The only problem is that VIP tickets are in fact for groups of 8. None of my regular gaming buddies can come, so I was wondering if anyone else wanted to join up so...

    The New Lara Croft is Ridiculously Sexy

    How does the previous 'new Lara Croft' -- Karima Adebibe -- figure in this scheme? Allison as the in-game model for Lara, and Karima for personal appearances?

    Ethereal dispel of material wall of force

    My group encountered an interesting situation in our game yesterday: while exploring a mysterious monolith, the sorcerer became ethereal and was blocked by a wall of force effect. He then asked if he could attempt to dispel or disintegrate it, his reasoning being that if a force effect on the...

    substitution feature for turn undead for Cleric with low Charisma.

    While caster level will affect many things, it won't increase your spell's DC. As for Divine Metamagic, remember that the prerequisites were officially amended to include the metamagic feat you want to reproduce (IOW, you need to take Quicken Spell separately before you can use Divine Metamagic...

    Character Points series

    Technically, the name of the host of Let's Make a Deal was Monty *Hall*. Nice job on the alphabetical alliteration in the Hack 'n Slash section!

    Epic monster descriptions

    After more than a year off, our group is re-assembling to get our characters up to 20th level (they're currently 17-19). I'll be the DM, and so I figured some epic-level monsters will start to make their apparition. The problem is that the SRD doesn't include any information regarding...

    Tropic Thunder goodness

    The filmmakers seem to be going for a 1-2 punch: In addition to spoofing Vietnam War movies, they're releasing a spoof of documentaries about Vietnam War movies (!): http://www.apple.com/trailers/dreamworks/rainofmadness/

    When did Gen. Jack O'Neil from SG-1 Join the Canadian Army?

    Maybe it's one of the robotic duplicates (http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s1/118.shtml) that took refuge in Canada... That's right, we now have an invincible ROBOT ARMY!! ;)

    Fan Creation pick of the week

    The layout work IS impressive. However, I spotted some basic errors in grammar and syntax after even a quick scan, and it's obvious a thorough proofreading by a professionnal would be needed. Maybe someone else on the board can volunteer? If not, I would have time to do it on Friday night.

    Paladins mark "fix" a plazebo?

    I suspect that it's trying to emulate the effect of paladin judgements in WoW (in that game, paladins can cast seals on themselves -- short-duration spells that give them something back when they hit. Seals can also be judged on an enemy to transfer a lower version of the bonus to any ally...

    D&D 4E Draft for a 4E monk

    I have comments about 2 powers: - Mantis Leap: I would add a restriction of 'target up to one size larger than you'; or maybe restrict to same size at Heroic, +1 size at Paragon and +2 size at Epic. - Serpent's Sweep: We'll have to see if there are trip mechanics in the PHB. If not, you'll...

    Babylon 5

    One piece of trivia that'll be interesting to RPG fans about B5: Lawrence 'Larry' DiTillio wrote many RPG publications (most notably The Masks of Nyarlathotep for CoC, and also an article on poisons in an early issue of Dragon reprinted in Best of Dragon II) before becoming story editor/writer...

    I'm pretty sure he meant $9.95 per month for a 12-month subscription.

    Shadowfell, and reworking of undead and afterlife

    Yes. They're called the Athar (from Planescape). The "true god" you mentioned is called the Great Unknown by them.

    Best Items for Conjuror/Ray Specialist

    The first Book of Eldritch Might had 2 rings that automatically improved the abilities of summoned creatures (I think one added to attack mostly, while the other was focused on defense)

    Best.. USB HUB... ever....!

    This would be the perfect form factor for the Time Capsule announced yesterday by Apple (for those who don't know, it's a WiFi base station combined with a hard drive). I wonder if it would be possible for the hub manufacturer to easily repurpose the cases for other uses...

    D&D 4E Chuck Norris to be in the 4e Core Pantheon

    Here's my favorite one from way back: Chuck Norris always turns on a nightlight when he goes to bed. Not because he's afraid of the dark, but because the dark is afraid of him.
