I'm far from a linguist, but it seems odd to me to pronounce quixotic so differentlt from Quixote. Of course I defer to those who understand these sorts of pronunciation issues far better than myself. I do have a serious question. How would a spanish speaker decribe someone as being "like...

I was a player in an old (1990) 2E campaign that had a few similar moral question situations. Our party handled it nearly the opposite of the way yours did. We were all good aligned, and we needed information from the two prisoners we had taken. We questioned them in a quid pro quo fashion...

Thanks, talmar. I did not realize that Codemonkey didn't get pre-release copies of the books. Don't get me wrong though. I personally love the program and think it's a breeze to learn to use. I just wanted to point out that expansions like Sandstorm may take a while to become available as a...

I have e-tools and really like it. I am not a programmer, and do not feel comfortable tinkering with programs. I am an experienced XP user though, and the learning curve for the basic functions of e-tools is very easy IMO. The negative, from my experience, is that codemonkey is the only...

What is this sacrilege? The D series redux is set in the Forgotten Realms! Why was I not notified that Geoff had been transplanted from Greyhawk to Faerun. ;) Seriously, I never even looked at City of the Spider Queen because it was a Realms supplement. I guess I'll have to check it out and...

I loved my job when I started (Police Officer). For the first five years I lived the job and felt I was making a difference in my community. Then all the bad stuff started to seep in. The cases we worked so hard to make were blown off in court. Serious offenders were given probation and no...

I'm sorry to hear that. I told my wife just now, and she told me that Paul sometimes appeared on the "Wiggles" televison show that my two year old loves. He apparently played a chef in some of the skits and sing-a-longs.

For something a little twisted, try Siouxsie and the Banshees: "Carousel" from the album Peepshow. That song always creeps me out.

I really want to like the Forgotten Realms. The level of support from WoTC is high, and it seems to have the largest overall following. I also think that the production values are high for the supplements that I have leafed through. I guess I just didn't get into the setting early enough and...

I have to say that I have been a lurker, sometimes poster, on these boards for some time. Part of the reason for my hesitation in contributing was that the regular posters on these boards were, and are, much more knowledgeable about the game than yours truly. The other reason I heitated to...

I'm a player most of the time, but I enjoy being the DM on occasion. I just haven't developed the epic stamina at continuing campaign arcs that a full time DM seems to need.

Can you give us some more details about how you destroyed the psyche of your DM? Did you call him rude names or tell him he smelled of elderberries? :D

I am currently a player in a Greyhawk campaign, and I am preparing to DM a campaign in Greyhawk. I have tried to put together my own homebrew word, but I just can't seem to get it the way I want it. It always starts to bear a remarkable resemblence to some other published campaign world, so I...

I watched it a couple of times many years ago, so my opinion may be a bit clouded by time. I felt that it was very violent, sort of disturbing, and the ultimate message was about as subtle as a stick in the eye, but that doesn't mean it isnt worth watching. If your husband has tastes similar...

I had to chuckle when I read that one. :lol:

Thankfully my group doesn't have that problem. Three of the six of us like to alternate DMing our own campaigns, so there isn't much chance of burnout. I think that one shot adventures are probably the best way to get someone comfortable with sitting "behind the screen". A couple of my old 2E...

I voted for #5 because the art is something that would make me take the time to "see what the ad was about". I almost voted for #1 because that is the first ad I saw for RPGnow, and I remember thinking when I saw it that it was for an oriental setting/campaign. I did stop to read it though, so...

Thanks Crothian. That's what I thought, but I wanted a second opinion from someone with more experience in 3.5 than myself.

In the 3.5 PHB, table 5-1 indicates that each time you select weapon finesse it applies to a different weapon, and the effects do not stack. Pretty straight forward. On page 102 in the description of weapon finesse, there is no mention of the feat applying to only one weapon at a time, and...
