*notes the message, then asks Beeg to investigate* "If you find any such thing going on, feed the thing to Harry. And...perhaps anyone standing around looking suspicious too. Hmm? No, not the river; I'm not feeling particularly merciful today. And Beeg, it would be a shame if I had to close the...

You know, naming this after a closed thread of the same sort lumps it in with the first one. Magi Siani

Well, the name of the Forum itself is ISRP Rules and Ruling References. That extends to the threads within it. Siani

Well there it is, don't you think? Generally you wouldn't need one in the Tavern. But if they were allowable in the setting they'd most certainly show up in there. Experience is rather clear on this one. Siani

Sigil is the place for such a weapon, unless Nashira grants her blessing for Faerun. Too similar in apparent function and effect of firearms for the Tavern. All anyone need to do is load a repeating crossbow with concussive or exploding bolts and someone would be spraying what amounts to...

Looks like an elf on steroids. Lose the ankle and wrist weights and it works, as long as there's no flashing of pointed teeth, horns appearing, or any of that sort. As long as it looks like an elf, he can be in without disguise. Note that going around telling people he's a demon openly isn't...

They are listed in the Tavern Setting Rules, the ones that I felt needed addressing directly. Other types I tend to treat on a case by case basis; I have allowed some types to be experimented with to see if they'd work. I don't do it often as inevitably it causes some folk to complain that...

I've been told it was apparently a sudden heart attack. Beyond that I have no details. I last spoke to her just a few days ago and she was happy, her kids were doing well, and things seemed fine. She was just a year older than myself, just shy of that really. One of the sweetest people I've...

No worries there Sienna; it is quite understandable. EGG was responsible for far more massive changes in people than many think. Dave Arneson too. Missing a day for someone important to you is rather common. Siani

Bari, the repetitive aspect of the rape commentary would have provoked a warning from me in no uncertain terms had it been reported. That kind of thing can be harassment...and not just of the player that is being interacted with, but with others in the vicinity having to read it as well. That...

*resists urge and fails* Okay, BL and their Dark Heresy bit annoyed me beyond belief. As you say, Wizards hasn't gone that route. Whether they kill or change the settings doesn't really affect me either, as I long since began using Greyhawk as 'My Greyhawk Campaign' as it were, something...

The ban was not only fair, but really rather light given the infractions, note the plural there, that were made. Yes, we try very hard to be fair. Oh, and he can appeal the ban after 6 months if he so chooses. Everyone can. So you see, the ban isn't necessarily forever. As far as what may, or...

Just so folk know, the Greyhawk setting is not changing. At all. The Tavern setting has never cared what edition of what game your character is derived from, or if it is derived from any at all. The setting rules will remain as they are, 4e notwithstanding, and those rules still must be adhered...

The key to the disguise portion is this bit *anyone looking at such a character would see just another human, humanoid, or demihuman.* That's it. Any question about appearance can be answered by applying that bit right there. If any person, especially ordinary run of the mill townies giving a...

We intentionally adopted a sort of hands off approach to moderating the site. Part of this was because at Wizards the complaint was that we were always playing Big Brother and suppressing people with our presence. Part of it has to do with many of us being awfully busy IRL. Part is also because...

A change is forthcoming to the Tavern Setting Rules. Due to some recent confusion by individuals the tavern rules have been revised and short scuffles are no longer permitted, it may go for a single blow such as a shove or drink to the face and then be moved into the Clearing. * There are no...

I miss Simon, Pou, Silk, and Ka'yn. Others too of course, such as Silva and Zug, but those first four colleagues were closest to me. Geez, I'm the only one left of my training class of WizOs. Sketch, Morra, Khelos, Hydragon, Rohan, Penderwyth, Unicorn...lot of memories there. I remember...

The rules for the Garden are the same as those for the Tavern. What is allowed in the Tavern is allowed in the Garden. What is NOT allowed in the Tavern is NOT allowed in the Garden. Magi Siani

Alright, here it is in short form. Qualifications are that I have to approve whatever is being done. I personally have to grant approval for it. NPCs of the setting can only be played by Magi or by a patron or patrons designated by me to do so...and only on a brief and non-permanent basis...

The Clearing is outside of the town of Ford Keep, about a mile upriver from it. Same setting, isolated place, it has no restrictions on characters so people can do their fighting with their characters as they like. The Tavern has the Garden attached to it and is in the center of town. It has...
