I wasn't thinking of the light going off. I was thinking of somebody wandering down there. "Hey, look at these cool statues! I'll just take a couple for my garden at home!" I was a cool episode.

I agree with the stats thingy. However, it seems that that somewhere, some group of people are always begging for stats for some NPC or whatnot, such as Drizzt. This began in 1e with TSR statting up the gods, then you people claiming to armwrestle Thor and gain his hammer. I agree, that with...

I said "if" because the inital report on the 4e Realms was that there will be a 10 year jump in the timeline. The problem with Salvatore's chapter is that it is set 100 years ahead, but the promo for the book says it picks up where the last Drizzt book left off. With Cattie-brie and Wulfgar and...

beer and gaming To me, this sounds like American Beer (I hope you like it!) After Prohibition and WWII, the few remaining beer manufacturers marketed beer also for women, and they all tried to come up with the most likable beer they could to appeal to the widest audience. Which means they all...

A clock is only part of the equation in my games. The PCs don't live in a static world. Perhaps they are trying to retrieve an item from someone else, orcs or some other group. If a party does the break in, kill a few orcs, leave and come back the next day, they might find traps waiting for...

Is it a bad sign that the actual release is earlier than the joke release?

better than that. 3.5 was done a couple of years after to "fix" the problems of 3.0. When that was done, I think it was Monte Cook (or another designer) who claimed that it screwed up the 5 year plan they had in place. hmmm.... 2003 +5 years = 2008. so the question becomes, will they "fix" 4e...

I got the impression she was caught unprepared for the question. She had something in mind, probably a current event topic, and was prepared to answer that line of questioning. That is probably how the Iraq and South Africa entered into it as she wasn't prepared, got nervous, and tried to work...

around 1980 with the basic and expert sets. Then I moved into the 1st edition AD&D. I never played 2e, since I kinda dropped out of gaming for awhile. Came back with 3e in 2002, switched over to 3.5, and since it kinda feels that I just switched over, will probably not buy the 4e. especially if...

cairo is one example of Illinoisians getting it wrong, another is Orion up near the Quad cities. Most say o-RI-on, such as in Men in Black. Everyone there says O-ree-on. As a person born in Texas and raised in Illinois, I still get a slight accent with my relatives. Ya'll are forgettin'...

Candlekeep here GitP (that is two!) sometimes wizards once in a blue moon ICE

I hate the "screw other party member's" kind of player. I played with one back in high school, and every campaign he existed just to mess with other players and the gms allowed him to because it was funny to them. I quit after I missed a session and he had my character framed for murder (I woke...

And I'm tired of seeing people being tired of tired of tired of threads. :heh: Actually, the last wizard I played used many of the spells listed, but I also tried to get some different metamagic feats also to apply to them, such as Transdimensional Spell, Energy Substitution (acid or frost...

Candlekeep.com for Forgotten Realms WotC boards to just see what is happening in the gaming world Order of the Stick (comic, gaming articles, and forums) for good laughs and info Iron crown enterprises to see what is going on in my other game system.

Eight in a row. Close for me, too!

A note to any people who belong to the SCA (no one there games, do they?) Milton Friedman has a son, David, who is also a noted economist. David was also the first King of the Midrealm (Cariadoc of the Bow) who issued a challenge to the East Kingdom for a war. He moved a year later to the coast...

Lurk, Lurk, Lurk to escape notice... :D

This is why I mostly lurk. Actually, I am a relative newcomer here. I read the posts in the Off-topic, D&D, non-D&D, and a few other areas. I also lurk at Candlekeep, the Order of the Stick, WotC, and Iron Crown forums, but post mainly at Candlekeep. I am slowly warming up to Enworld and OotS...

You scored as Storyteller. The Storyteller is in it for the plot: the sense of mystery and the fun of participating in a narrative that has the satisfying arc of a good book or movie. He enjoys interacting with well-defined NPCs, even preferring antagonists who have genuine motivations and...
