Thir13en Ghosts. The entire movie took place in one big trap.

I used to paint minis, but these days I lack the time and the patience to do so. I certainly don't mind paying the same amount of money for painted plastic minis than I did for unpainted metal ones, especially since the paintjobs I've seen on them so far are at least as good as I can do, if not...

North Orange County here.

Well, according to M-W.com (thanks Robbastard!), it's pronounced "ear EN-nis." So that's how I'm gonna pronounce it from now on. :) How now, brown drow?

I've played more than my fair share of clerics, and my spell preparation has always been purely supportive: Protection from Evil, Resist Energy, Delay Poison, etc. I never prepare anything that isn't designed to heal or otherwise remove negative effects from other PCs because that's how I've...

Really? It's not crap? When I saw the trailer for it, I LMAO'd for ten minutes straight. I'll definitely have to rent this one now.

In my day, exploding dice were called "open-ended rolls." And that's the way we liked 'em! :mad:

The best games I've ever played were with two players and a GM. One of them was even (A)D&D. The GM in question was a master at breathing life into his NPCs, so it never really felt like a small-party game. It actually felt more like two solo campaigns being run concurrently with occassional...

The obvious choice would be construct, although in one campaign I ran, I had mecha which were giant undead. They were controlled by means of a special circlet (similar to the old Skeletal Warriors...dunno if those made it into 3.5) from within the creature's chest cavity. You could also make...

Exactly how does one justify the bonus damage while sneak-attacking with Ray of Stupidity? Hitting a more vulnerable part of the brain?

I prefer to read about elves, but I prefer to roleplay dwarves. Where's the fun in being perfect?

We did something similar in RttToEE, only with us it was the celestial monkey. Once it became clear that there were save-or-die traps in the dungeon, we would use Summon Monster to call a celestial monkey to go through suspicious doorways or handle cursed items. One such monkey was called...

Not henchmen per se, but I definitely have no compunctions about whacking NPCs to prove a point. In the first campaign I ever ran, all of the characters were in the same military unit. At one point, there was an opening in the unit for two more soldiers, so I decided to fill that opening with...

I've always felt that shifters and changelings were just kind of tacked on at the last minute. Shifters are slightly more involved in the mythos of Eberron simply because of the big lycanthrope purge that happened a while back. The biggest stumbling block for me is the backstory of these two...

I'm not sure that would work against teleportation. After all, a building covered in vines (or mold, etc.) is not a living creature, it's just surrounded by living material. Besides, there's got to be some room for other people to enter, otherwise it would be useless as a meeting place...

My players have always made it difficult if not impossible to make their characters famous. Most of my PCs tend to have fairly nondescript appearances and usually take great pains to act covertly in order to avoid drawing the wrong kind of attention. This is probably also why most of my PCs...

My first thought was, "wow, he has all of his books on a shelf! And organized!" The only books on my shelf are the ones I haven't used in a while. All of my D&D books are scattered all over the place, ready to be flipped through at a moment's notice.

I ran into a similar situation with my (LARP) group a couple of years ago. There are several of us who are teachers, and when someone who was under 18 wanted to join the group, we were told that the teachers could get into serious trouble for it. I don't remember the exact reasons given or...

Ah, but the trick is holding on to the victim once they've been caught. Zombies are strong, but they're slow; you would have to be really unlucky to be captured by zombies. Most people will get bitten and run away, only to die and rise again later on as zombies themselves. In the early stages...

THAC0, baby! Maybe not -isms, but the collection of monsters in the various MMs that seem to have evolved for the sole purpose of screwing over adventurers: the mimic, the piercer, the trapper, the gelatinous cube...I could go on and on.
