I'm in shock. I don't post here often, but I'd often read Gary's posts with great interest. He was quite simply the creator of the game, it’s premier personality and figurehead, as well as it’s ardent defender and one of it’s most colourful characters. This is the saddest GM's Day ever. He...

I don't think anybody's really saying that one way is better than the other (at least, I'm not) and that it should be the only way, I think it's merely a discussion of advantages and disadvantages to either style. I like the completely new and unique stuff that's harder to grasp, but it's ALSO...

One of the things that I noticed when I ran Star Wars for the first time (using the old WEG system, way back when), was that I didn't have to explain all the basics: everyone knew their stormtroopers from their wookies. They were able to concentrate on other things like the plot, rather than...

I'm shellshocked, honestly. I might not've known him personally, but I knew him as a permanent fixture on ENworld and RPG.net of sorts. Just last week I was reading the topic about modifiers in games, and while I didn't always agree with him, I found his responses well-written and well thought...

That sucks. They made some really great stuff. :S

Warcraft Orcs. They were really the first orcs I was exposed to, so they've always been the definitive orc appearance, in my mind.

Thanks for the replies. The reason my players (and not all, just some) don't like miniatures combat is that they feel it makes things too mechanical and too much like a wargame. They prefer it much better when combat consists of just attacking and doing damage and not worrying about any tactics...

Has anyone considered removing raw feet-based distances in combat and using rough approximations? For instance, the enemies you're facing are within Short range, so you can move up to them with a move action and attack, if they were Medium range or longer, it might take you longer to reach them...

It's quite rare that I don't actually have a party-member NPC around. In fact, one game I ran (Urban Arcana) had 4 of them. Lately I've been avoiding including any NPCs with the group so they can fend for themselves entirely, and it's been working well enough. My group is mostly made up of...

Lawful Good, despite my moniker. Used to get Neutral Good on alot of alignment tests, mainly.

I have no issues with real world names being used, as long as they're appropriate and not too modern. Some of the best characters in our games have been named with real world names. I also highly recommend checking out http://www.behindthename.com/random/ if you're looking for good and obscure...

Thanks guys, that's a TON of handy info. I'll definitely keep this stuff in mind when looking over the books.

Hey folks, I'm considering allowing the use of the Complete series of books in my campaign, particularly the PrCs, and was curious if there are any "gotchas" I should be wary of (ie: imbalanced/overpowered PrCs and feats) before I allow them. Anyone got any insight?

50 per account, 10 per server. Probably the most out of any MMORPG. Additionally, if you cancel your account, your characters remain forever, allowing you to come back whenever you like.

I know you found what you're looking for, but I THINK Mozilla Sunbird will also do what you're looking for, and it's pretty spiffy. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird_download.html

World of Warcraft still. Barely have time for anything else, but what time I've spent away from WoW has been spent playing Burnout 3.

WoW. There is nothing else.

Well, the Night Elves have a way to get to Azeroth, but it's anything but easy. What they have to do is get to Darnassus, take a boat or hippogriff to Auberdine in Darkshore, then take a boat to Menethil Harbour in the Wetlands. This is the hard part, you have to run through the Wetlands to Loch...

Die. Started with D&D too, so I have no idea why we use die instead of dee. In fact, it sounds really weird when I hear someone refer to it as dee, but I know I'm in the minority... the superior minority! ;) (please don't hurt me!)
