Saw this site posted on slasdot.org today. It's a pictorial site by a Ukrainian women who rides her motorcycle through through the "dead zone" near Chernobyl. Sad really, but creepy and fascinating in an rpg sense... http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/page2.html Mirror here (in...

Same results as I had when I took this in College. Notch another INTP up there... not surprising results for this forum. Your personality type is INTP. Introverted (I) 93% Extraverted (E) 7% Intuitive (N) 82% Sensing (S) 18% Thinking (T) 80% Feeling (F) 20% Perceiving (P) 77% Judging (J)...

I'm surprised at the number of re-readers also, since I never do it myself. I think the reason though has been sorted out though in this thread. It seems like the speed readers are the ones who re-read. I read quite slowly, I think because of a tendancy to linger and absorb every detail. Like...

Voted NO Been with D&D since the beginning but still always thought the magic system was klunky. I know they've tried to make it more flexible of late, but it's still patches on a poor design. My preferred replacement would be a "mana point" based system. Briefly... 1) You know all the spells...

How could anyone have forgotten "Batman & Robin"? My friends and I almost walked out in that utterly ridiculous opening museum sequence, but decided to stay and watch the train wreck. Every frame of that movie was painful!

Wanted to chime in my support with Umbran... I think pregen's can actually increase the amount of roleplay and character. As has been said, given the chance many players will play themselves into a certain rut. But give that person who normally plays the snooty elf mage a human barbarian and...

Check out www.openoffice.org The latest version exports documents into PDF format. (It's a free opensource MS Office alternative)

I think that's covered by "What's Polyhedron?" or "None of the above". I voted Never. They're sometimes interesting to read for how they handle the rules, but mostly a waste of paper IMO. Like others have said, I barely get chances to play D&D.

It's an interesting but as others have alluded to, slightly flawed question when you stop to think about it. You're assuming that RPG'ing and even more specifically a website about RPG's would have universal flat appeal across the population. When you're actually talking about a pretty...

Just a tip, you don't necessarily need to purchase Acrobat to make PDF files. The new version of OpenOffice allows you to export/save your documents in PDF format. (It's new in the 1.1 version which is currently beta, although I've been using it for months without issue.) And for those who...

Not to rain on the parade, but I just wanted to add a little to what Carpedavid said about some people preferring their fantasy more black and white. Before running an adventure like this, I'd think about the players and whether they'd enjoy the plot twist, or would they be put off by the...

Anyone we know? 3.5 edition protests?

Simple rule that I use that may apply for what you're looking to achieve. (Borrowed from Earthdawn rules.) If you roll max damage on a die, roll again and add to the total. (If you roll the max again, roll again etc.) For example if you're attacking with a shortsword and roll your d6 for...

quote:Originally posted by WizarDru I frankly find covers like these embarassing. They harken to the image of the 13 year-old nerd who's intimidated by women, and likes to look at sexy pictures of them. That's fine, when I was 13. That was a long time ago for me, and most of Paizo's...

Thanks for the info Stormprince, I had no interest in the upcoming DL books until I read this thread. :)

(above was copyright 2000, this is 1999, but recently appeared in dragon)

Agnostic Paladin Well here are some more recent Elmores which aren't too shabby...

(new account, longtime lurker who's account was whacked when the boards moved.) The moment I opened up the old Red Boxed set, those images inspired me to play D&D, draw, and were etched into my psyche forever. I may waffle on who is the better "technical artist", but in my mind Larry Elmore IS...
