Since he only needs a majority acceptance, how about he suggests that he, the leader and one other split it as evenly as possible, with the extra 1 coin going to the leader? (ie he gets 333, one other gets 333 and the leader gets 334). That way, the three of them can accept it, making it a 3-2...

The orb can defend itself with the spells of the creature possessing it, but it doesn't want to...yet. And it is important in that it's being possessed by the leader of the army. However, the army as a whole isn't important to him. He's testing the people of Oerth to see what sort of army he'll...

I have a problem. Normally I wouldn't ask a question as short and trivial as this on the boards, but all my gaming friends are involved in the game I am asking about, and the question would reveal a plot point I would rather they didn't know (yet!). The situation is this. It's a 3.0 game, and...

I was looking through the WotC website's product catalogue, and there's a chance (IMHO) that they have this confused with the Star Wars Universe Huge Pack. That's $19.99, and out in August. I may be wrong, and this may have been posited elsewhere, but I thought I'd add to the discussion.

No, not really. Saying Gamers tend to be poor spellers & Most gamers are quite intelligent => quite intelligent people tend to be poor spellers is like saying Einstein was a genius & Einstein was a man => men are geniuses (or whatever the plural of genius is!) Not wanting to be a nit...

Depending on how far you want to travel, there's the motor museum at Beaulieu, which is in the New Forest. According to the RAC website, that's 78 miles, and between 1 and 2 hours from Swindon. They'll have a website which'll give you more detail. Oh, and if you do decide to go there, ignore...

First of all, thanks very much for the advice. I guess I'm quite lucky. My players hardly meta-game at all, and so (since they've never met one IC) would not expect anything in particular from a Beholder shaped thing. This has a similar problem to the first. Couple that with the fact that...

First things first, I apologise if this is in the wrong place or if it's less than coherent. I've chosen to do it fairly late at night. On to the problem. I'm running a PbEM DnD 3.0 game for some friends and I've come up with a plot whereby the city they're in is under siege by an army of...

Exactly. If you wanted to subdue a helpless opponent, a swift strike on the back of the head with a sap or sword hilt would do it. I think the Bard player's problem (and the problem I'd have with these actions) is that your method was kicking him repeatedly in the head, which is brutal and...

I think at least part of this was because of the shocking play of the Portuguese goalkeeper. I mean, what possessed him to think that charging out to an area where at least 4 other people are between him and where the ball was coming from was a good idea?

My friends once told me a story of a game of Weird Wars they were playing in (this story was confirmed by the DM, too). They were a party of (I believe) 1st or 2nd level soldiers, and had just come through an incredibly tough fight with a blood mage and his zombie horde. After they were...

I'm perfectly happy to admit I'm biased. However, no-one can tell me that Meier was unbiased and competent. The man gave a free kick against Wayne Rooney for having his foot stepped on (I'm not saying it should have gone the other way, I'm saying there was no foul), and Darius Vassell couldn't...

I truly wish him to get it too, as he is the undisputed best international ref. However (and take into consideration this is at least third hand knowledge) I have been told that he has been given one of the semi finals and so would be ineligible for the final. THat is a real shame, as this will...

I imagine it was felt that it was too harsh. Either that or it did the opposite of the intention when it was introduced. It was introduced to give incentive to push forward in search of the goal that would finish the game early, but it may have ended up that teams got scared of conceding and...

That's true, but I'm sure being the first person to use that sand pit of a penalty spot can't have helped. Can anyone explain to me why after it became clear that it was an awful spot they didn't try the other end? I mean, if they had done it after each team had had the same number of penalties...

So you're saying that every time someone jumps for the ball and touches someone else there should be a free kick? Well, that would make a very stop start game. Nearly every header won has contact. And Campbell didn't jump on Terry's shoulder. The free kick was given because the goalie couldn't...

I'm sorry, but it wasn't a deliberate idea to stay back and defend. We defended because we had no Rooney to drop back and pick up the ball in front of the midfield. Owen's a different type of striker. On top of that, the entire midfield was exhausted and Beckham felt he didn't need to put any...

Following the thread of others' thoughts, there's always Molloch the Corruptor from Buffy [Episode - I Robot, You Jane] (admittedly a demon, but he did build himself a robot body). Also, from a Red Dwarf novel (can't remember which one) there are Pizzak'rapp and Maid'n Ty-One (I apologise for...

Strange you should ask that today. See today's Ask Wizards column on the Magic website ( http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/askwizards/0401 ). There it says: "There are 6681 functionally different cards out there. That's a lot of cards, and it would take a while to collect them. But...

Long time lurker, breaking my silence for two reasons. First, brilliant story, as everyone else has said, and I echo all of their comments. Secondly, for Ledded, no, in cricket the man who throws the ball at the batsman is called the bowler.
