That is way too funny. Goes to show if Murphy's Law ruled superheroes instead of Screenwriters' Intervention.

Definitely a nasty real-world item, but in game terms isn't it only a temporary inconvenience, up until the moment a Neutralize Poison is cast? It's certainly not ever going to see the multi-year-pain in a D&D setting.

Difficult to believe I only bought this game 3 months ago. The counter says I've spent 65 hours on it. The game is HUGE. Lots of fun, and great gameplay. So I've completed all the missions, finished all the levels, bought all the extras and characters and collected all the gold bricks, and...

A more modern-based setting I re-read the OP, and didn't see any restriction for or against fantasy settings only. Therefore I present one of my own adventure openings: 29) You receive an email posted from a distant regional newspaper. The sender's email address is unknown and from a...

Love that idea. Also love the Conjuration example above. For something like Evocation or Transmutation (either one would work), I would have a supremely powerful monster, (like an ancient Beholder, or some sort of special demon hidden away in the extreme depths of the earth) whose blood is...

Especially if one or more of the PC's do not decide to compete in the contests. Either you will need to arrange it in their background that they WOULD want to compete (and win, as Lwaxy noted), or you need some other motive for the Lord to invite them to dine, and to persuade them to take up...

I'm wondering that too, Piratekitty. I looked up the Worldworks site after your Swooning Game Room post and all I saw was the paper-build models similar to Fat Bastard Games (sorry, meant Fat Dragon).

There doesn't seem to be a generic Rants forum anymore, but is it considered bad form to express my disappointment in what was once-upon-a-time a mainstay of my gaming experience? Even leaving aside the declining activity on the swrpgnetwork.com site over the past few years, I am grossly irked...

And the stupid, the second paragraph calls it a "Board game". Really? The Board game version has more name recognition than the name itself?

Well, there you go then. Jack Daniels is a healing potion.

Yes. Yes they can. Healing potions cure hit points. Drowning on the other hand, is not a function of hit points. It's just a function of DROWNING, by a failed constitution check. SWIMMING Not to be glib, but they don't even cross concepts. Hmmm. Now that I've read further into the links...

Yup, my group did this too when we played in that edition. It was dumb (IMO) but everyone had agreed to the poor logic of the RAW. Our current house rule is that, if you don't have your dice ready to go by the time a roll is called for, you either automatically fail the check or have to put in...

System is 3.5, again my apologies, I thought I had gone into the Legacy Discussion section before posting the thread.

Big battle in progress. I face off against a big baddie, who hacks and slashes me with multiple attacks. Due to some supernatural or magical ability of the monster, I get paralyzed by one of the strikes after a bad saving throw attempt. He then proceeds to rend and tear at me some more, and I...

I also remember in the TV show Angel, I think at the end of the 3rd season when the gang crossed over into Lorne's demon dimension to find "Fred", there was a series of magical books, each of which made no sense on their own, but collected together, the passage of one page continued onto the...

6. Testing newly-crafted armor to see if the Fire Protection "took".

You're ugly and your mother dresses you funny? :]

Very nice offer, and thanks for thinking of us!

Myself, I would want to include a stipulation that (or something to the effect of) "anybody holding a weapon is a fair target". That is to say, the code of a pirate would demand that when attacking, only attack those people who are trying to attack you. No needless killing of non-combatants.

I hate to start picking at nits here, but the lawyer in me smells a big loophole (read: story hook) in this opening statement. As in, what constitutes an "unlawful" order by a superior officer? How does a crewman determine the level of unlawfulness, and how might he "rightly" or "justly"...
