    Like the game, hate the habits

    Scary? Nahhhh... Just that nothing much has happened on the gaming front in my neck of the woods. So far, it's mainly been piss-farting around and spending time playing counter-strike :)

    Like the game, hate the habits

    Wow. I'm pretty amazed. Even the heaviest smokers I know wont do it inside ... even in their *own* house. Even they don't like the smells and stains it leaves around the house. I thought this was fairly accepted protocol these days. I must say, what has particularly suprised me is the...

    My ranger Poll results: See last post. (was beating the Ranger with a better stick)

    Ok, I'll play... 5- 1)The ranger needs to be able to track from first level onwards, hence needs it as a bonus feat. 5- 2)The Ranger should have a +1 BAB/Level 5- 3)The ranger, being a rugged outdoorsman needs at least a d10 hitdie. 3- 4)The ranger needs extra feats that help him in combat...

    So, Claudio, what do you store YOUR paper counters in? (Not just for Claudio)

    Ummm... it might be a bit of effort, but have you considered making your own boxes? I've done this on a number of occasions for various things that don't quite fit conventional storages items available. I'd recommend either two methods - * build completely from scratch. Use heavy guage ply...

    Wild-shaping barbarian

    Bear Warrior, all the way baby! A really interesting class from Oriental Adventures, that could probably slot right into a fantasy game (there is nothing that particularly marks it as 'oriental'). In fact, some middle earth conversions I've seen recommend the class for Beornings...

    Why I Hate Sorcerors

    To all you wizard fans out there - wow, I can't believe how much time you must have on your hands. When my wizzy hit 17th level (oh, the excitment of having 9th level spells) I found myself begging the party to take a few weeks off while he took time to scribe a few new spells. After much...

    d20 Narnia

    Does anyone have any links or resources for playing d20 in the Chronicles of Narnia setting? With all the attention being focused on Tolkein these days, it is easy to forget the "other" great fantasy writer from the 50's. Was wondering if anyone had done a conversion or not.

    Need character advice

    I've been playing an elven abjurer/loremaster for the past few months (starting at 10/4 and moving to 10/7). After some intense adventuring over the past few sessions I have enough xp to probably go up two levels. Part of the recent adventure had included my character reclaiming a rather...

    [Vile? Mature] Going Too Far.

    Some people roleplay for the meaningful emotional experience it can bring into their lives. Being able to 'live' through the experiences of someone else can be intense. I think the subject matter in question was bold and creative and was obviously going to create a certain amount of emotional...

    [Not a Troll] An Honest Question (really) About Game Balance

    I don't doubt it. But certain classes in Rifts are overwhelmed in *every* department by some other classes... whether it is laying down the smack, or trying other ways to shine. If I wanted to feel like a loser that is outclassed in every task I attempt, I'll stick to real life. When I...

    [Not a Troll] An Honest Question (really) About Game Balance

    RIFTS. Vagabond versus Glitterboy 'nuff said. To explain a bit better - no, game balance is not necessary, but if it doesn't exist, the becomes pretty lame.

    Bards - Why do so few people play them?

    I've always loved the talking style characters. In d6 Star Wars, I've played a smuggler with high Con and Bargain skills, in Cyberpunk2020 it was usually the Corporate, Fixer or Rockerboy classes... and of course, in D&D it was the Bard. In 2e, a lot of my fast talking attempts failed because...

    [OT] I'm paying $350 a MONTH in Car Insurance!!

    Pisses. Me. Off. I have 10 years driving experience with no accidents, claims or tickets. My partner has 13 years driving experience with no accidents, claims or tickets. We own a '98 Mitsubishi lancer *stationwagon* with an agreed value of $10,000 and the best insurance I can get is over...

    Bards - Why do so few people play them?

    The Bard is a bit hard to munchy up. That tends to draw quite a few gamers away from the class.

    Should I post

    Custom pantheons are one of my favourite aspects of homebrew campaigns. Whether you choose to post or not, feel free to email me anything... I'd love to read.

    FLGS Marketing?

    The problem with gaming stores is that they are essentially niche markets. Any kind of widescale promotion is going to generate a pretty low ROI, since most of the community will ignore it (or go "huh?") Unless this local game store sells more than just RPGs, CCG and other geek goodies, I'd...

    Stat-tastic?

    Re: Re: rastlin Hijacking a little bit here, but... Is it true the original player for Raistlin actually rolled a 3 on strength? In the sourcebooks his strength is usually bumped up quite a bit (around 7 if I recall correctly). We have a wizard in our campaign with a STR of 7. She casts...

    Do you find Alignments useful in your games???

    I find them a bit of a waste of space. Good roleplayers don't need alignments to help them play their characters, and all too often I've seen poor roleplayers use them as a crutch or worse - an excuse for being a pain. "Sure I'm being a disruptive jerk, but I'm just playing my character...
