    What happens when you cast a spell?

    Definately Mission: Impossible style. At lowest level, scrolls simply crumble to glowing dust that whips around the caster as they cast the spell. At the highest levels brightly burning runes surround the caster, then a clap of thunder and a pressure wave of magic coming from the caster of...

    When the PC's gains middle age

    You're telling me... I lost the feat "Party like a Rock Star" at 40... Unfortunately, it's a bedrock pre-req for a whole raft of feats I took when I was a young'n.

    What do you like about D&D?

    Honestly? I love the talking trash portion of the game. If I played Basketball down at the gym, I would get the same enjoyment, and probably weigh about 30kg less. As far as game play though... I like those moments after a close shave... you know that you only beat the monster by sheer luck...

    Why the gnome must survive....

    What we all have to realize is that Gaming is a social activity. As they say Gnome man is an Island.

    Forgotten Realms - 3000 AD

    Wasn't there a Dragon magazine article that was set to Greyhawk 2000? Sounded kind of fun. Would love to play something like that myself. :)

    is Dungeons and Dragons still Lame

    I have learned to embrace my inner nerd. Unless society stops producing nerds, there will always be a market for the game we love. ;) Also... I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here. Don't let the perceptions of other people dictate what you think is cool. If you think that pretending...

    How to make a maze work?

    Most players probably know the "I only turn right" trick to follow the wall to the exit. Sure it takes longer, but they know they will find the end.

    PoL & population density

    When I hear about PoL, I imagine England after the Roman withdrawl. Cold, wet, hungry peasants worried about the Viking Raiders. Somehow I also imagine lots of Dry Ice fog. In Europe, I'd say the default would be around 8th Century. The Western Roman Empire has been gone for a couple...

    So... what about WFRP?

    I was only exposed to it once... It seemed easy to pick up and go at it.

    D&D cartoon advertising 4th Ed

    And it's either funny, or not funny, or perhaps a sign of the coming apocalypse, Jury is still out. ;)

    D&D 3E/3.5 How do you plan to end your 3E campaign?

    I'm pretty sure that my group won't be among the early adapters of 4e. I'm pretty sure we will eventually make the move, but we're going to stick to 3.5 for awhile yet. Xmas 2008 is right around the corner you know! At that point we'll probably draw it down to a natural conclussion. Massive...

    Join PETCA today!

    You don't protect Wile E. Coyote by banning him... you protect him by killing that tease Roadrunner, and laying some serious tarriffs on Acme Co. Rocket Skates and Dynamite sound good in principle, but it's all in the execution. Although, I'm not sure truer words have ever been spoken anywhere.

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    WD, Nothing I've said has been anything but completely civil, Nobody's been flamed, I've responded respectfully, however Ainatan's right. You have to admit though, doesn't it seem odd that the arguement is about something as silly as a flashtoon? I hope more than presents get unwrapped this...

    The Tielfling and The Gnome: On the Set of 4th edition

    I've offended no one. I mentioned no one by name, I simply think that some people have a few too many dice in the bag. Unfunny is one thing, but someone feelling like the flashtoon has hurt them so badly that 4e has eliminated them as a potential customer? Really? C'mon.... That's just a...
