    Charm Person

    In my view: 1. No 2. No 3. No 4. Yes 5. Yes 6. Yes It's not whether Joe can tell you're casting a spell that gives him the bonus. It's due to the fact that to suddenly turn someone's attitude from hostile or threatened to friendly is quite difficult.

    What can I say but "D'oh!"?

    If...were my campaign

    Not a lot of explanation, really. Choose a book, movie, TV series etc. and describe what would have happened if it had been an adventure or campaign with your current group. How would players have reacted to events, what would the DM have done, etc? To demonstrate, I'll go first. If...Raiders...

    Well. Er...spoke too soon I guess. France won? Wow! I mean...wow! Nobody beats Brazil. Except France, of course, who beat them in 1998. Oh, well. I now predict a Germany vs France final. Brazil being knocked out is actually good for Germany, France and Portugal, because it means whichever one...

    All I can say is that my prediction is still intact. Bring on Brazil!

    Can Clerics Cure Cancer?

    I love this forum. Only here does this debate go on...except for around my gaming table, of course.

    Can Clerics Cure Cancer?

    I think the people who said a heal spell would definitely cure cancer are right. I just don't think remove disease is the right way to go. Plus, as Dracandross pointed out, if remove disease works on cancer then paladins are immune from it, and that strikes me as definitely not the intention. I...

    Can Clerics Cure Cancer?

    This stems from an argument with my players. Never mind why it came up. They weren't trying to cure cancer. None of them plays a cleric. It just sort of came up. Anyway, one player reckons the remove disease spell removes cancer. The spell description says it removes all diseases from the...

    I think Germany can beat Argentina. My final prediction of a German win over Brazil in the final is still, at present, holding up. For the quarter-finals, I predict Germany will beat Argentina, Portugal will kill England in the closing minutes after a long 0-0 period, Brazil will beat France but...

    During the last 20 minutes, I decided, bugger it, time for some national spirit. I have so little of it this was a rare moment for me. There were a couple of times in that game that I thought "bloody hell - we're actually going to beat them", particularly after the Italians lost a man to the red...

    Circle of Eight Scavenger Hunt - an all-mage party

    People know me, I guess, so I won't do a massive recap. The original forum about this campaign is located under the General tab, anyway...for some reason I can't make a hyperlink. I think my browser hates me. Party now consists of a half-dragon Warmage (Lvl 7), a human bard, and a human...

    An all-mage party

    Well, session 2 was held. I won't relate the story here - that'll be covered under "Story Hour". But they have their 3rd party member, now - a bard. Now healing is covered, sort of. Members 4 and 5 are yet to show up.

    Germany defeated Sweden. I thought it was an excellent match, and I thought the Germans were in better form than ever. With Brazil pretty much guaranteed a victory over Ghana, it's looking like my prediction may have some weight. Now Germany will have to play Argentina, which will be their...

    OK. This crow I'm eating tastes delicious. We actually made it to Round 2. Well, I guess that proves I don't know anything. I take my defeat in good grace. However, I mantain this is as far as we will go. Our next opponent is Italy. They will murder us.

    Don't laugh. The old Space Quest games were a very similar concept.

    Everyone's been poo-pooing Germany, suggesting the team is lacklustre and carried entirely on Ballack's performance. I haven't yet seen a game in 2006 where Germany didn't dazzle and shine with their performance. I think the Germans are much better than people say, and I think they are going to...

    TSR, WoC, FASA, Steve Jackson - they've all had some big hits. But what about their failures? In this came, participants list RPG products they are certain would have been smash failures had they been released commercially. I'll start the ball rolling: My Dinner with Andre, the Role Playing...
