    Game Calendar. Do you have one?

    The empire the players live in has two calendars, somewhat based on the Mayan calendar. There's the long count, which looks like an IP address and measures - number of emperor since beginning, emperor's age, season, and day of season. The present long count is 6.16.4.70. Then there's a...

Of the four, one is my fiance, I work with another 2 to 3 times a week, one is a close friend, and the other is said friends roommate.

    Hardcore gamers

    I had a friend addicted to Diablo II for a summer. At one point, I was visiting him, and he said, "Man I gotta take a massive dump." My response was, of course, "So go dump." "I will after I beat Diablo," he says, only halfway through the 2nd act. Eight hours later, when I visited him again...

    [June] Campaign reports

    The PCs uncovered the location of an ancient tomb under the city which they believed was also the location a slaver had taken one of the PCs family. They were right and the daring rescue was successful, but a liberal use of sleep spells and rope left many smugglers and rogues alive to be...

    What are your "Group Rules"?

    No farting on the couch. It's suede. On a similar note, if you're going to vomit, it's better to dive to the floor and wretch on your own stomach than to get any bodily secretions on the couch. It hurts a lot less that way. One magic missile must be cast at the darkness per night. Also...

    Most embarassing gaming moment?

    We camp and game quite often. Generally hiking while roleplaying and stopping for combat. In fact, two summers ago we all go extremely sunburned when a bandit challenged our grumpy dwarven fighter to a staring contest. Two hours later......

    Story Hours better than the actual game?

    Yeah, the dialogue is the key. I almost want to record the audio of our sessions for those key gaming quotes such as the player fresh from the dentist screaming "Fo Heboniusths" through wads of cotton as his paladin charges a gnoll or "Stop that boy! He grabbed my nuts!" coming from the bard...

    warforged and creating items

    In Races of Eberron, there's a bit about warforged and their attention span. While they don't physically tire, much like other humanoids their minds start to wander and they must change tasks, hence an 8 hour work day is pretty much it. Now, I'd think they could work on three different tasks...

    Most embarassing gaming moment?

    Early on in my relationship with my fiance, I had planned on an all weekend gaming session with other friends, unbeknownst to her. The night of, upon returning home from work, I found her in my dorm room, on my bed, gothed out in a hot leather skirt and made up to seduce. Oblivious to her...

    Sleight-of-hand in combat

    Attacking unarmed provokes an Attack of Opportunity. Grappling provokes an Attack of Opportunity. Disarming AND Grabbing an Item provokes an Attack of Opportunity. Therefore, Sleight of Hand has to provoke one as well. The Sleight of Hand/Spot opposed check would merely let your opponent...
