    Why did you start the hobby?

    For me, in 1989-1990, my friend Hariprem was reading a blue paperback book with this cool shot of a dragon and a couple people standing in front of it. One had deep blue armor and a crazy helmet, one was a short elfy thing, and one was this elf lady with this huge spear. He said that this book...

    [Modern]Bonuses by State?

    you're totally right. it should be -4 :D And i totally agree with the stats for Northern California save for the fact that the proper abbreviation is NorCal =) Oh, and we should probably have a negative dex mod too, seeing as the most motion we get is from the wrists down...

    Vote for your favorite original D&D monster!

    Since Flumph wasnt on the list, i had to go with the monster that has been a giant part of my campaign, the Gelatinous cube. One of the PCs in my game has a mini cube as a familiar. It's name is Smuckers =)

    Dungeon Adventure Path series in Greyhawk?

    Here's a caveat. I play Dragonlance and thusly have no use for the current adventure path. Now as for the upcoming one, i highly vote for it to be in Greyhawk. It won't be of anymore use to me, but i think that WotC owes it to the fanbase to give something new to the setting that it uses...

    Baseball discussion thread

    A sad weekend for me, as both a giants and a's fan, but damn, tonites a's/sox game was one of the most gripping games i've seen in a long time. It was a damned fine series, all five games worth, and definatly worth the price of admission. Hats off to the sox, even if i wanted them to lose =)

    Adventures don't Sell? Do you agree? Redman Article

    as an aside, the dragonlance series was conceived as being a combined module/novel thing. the first novel followed the first four modules, but the second and third novels diverged, and the modules were based on them.
