Elisw Crtem, Remhon of Sudafed The real question is should that 'w' be pronounced as in English or German? I think my new last name also needs another vowel, or at least an apostraphe, to be pronauncable.

My travels continue, so I need some directions from you guys again. Where can I find a good card shop in Berlin? I'm staying in Stegliz, but I can travel anywhere in the city. Thanks in advance.

unorthodox This was a gnome warlock who accedently let an eldar demon loose in the prime material plane, because, and this is the real kicker, she was board. inquisitive This was a human cleric of a goddess of fire and knowledge. After the party defeated the evil cultists of a god of death...

This one was sort of a group effort of the entire party. Step 1: Kill the minatour in its labrynth. In the process, we glued one of the fighters to the minators chest when she rolled a critical miss on her attack roll with a tanglefoot bag. This was in a 10 foot wide coridor, so the only...

I liked the Dark Elf trilogy, not only do we get to see the drow culture on the inside, but we also get to see Illithid culture, and life in the wilderness of the underdark. The Icewind Dale trilogy is alright. It's very cut and dried, and the three books are kind of disjointed from one...

I don't think you're being paranoid. If I were you, I'd send "John" one more e-mail to tell him that you got a better offer for your car, so sorry, but no deal with him. [It probably won't take him to long to figure out its a lie if you leave your listing up, but who cares?] Then teach the...

Something that works for us here in Texas (home of the killer fire ants and gigantic carpenter ants) is molasses. If you can find their nest, pour molasses on it. For whatever reason, ants hate it, so they pick up and they move thier mound to a new spot. If you do this enough times, they'll...

Let's see, when was the last time I had to describe a healing potion... I guess it was in one of my books, not a campaign, since our DM was evil and we never saw a healing potion (although I guess it wasn't too bad; I lasted a year and just realized that now...). A healing potion (what level...

Well, my submission is away. A word to the wise: never go to the Denver airport if you can avoid it. Walk if you have to, but stay away from that airport.

I should have a submission to make, but I'll be out of town and away from all signs of civilization (like, oh, the internet) until the first of June. So expect an email from me on the 2nd or 3rd. Question about locations: do you want maps included with the submission, and if so, what format?

I started with the first Baulder's Gate PC game. I got about as far as the end of the prolauge before I decided "Holy *bleep* this is cool. I've got to get the paper and dice version of this." It was several years later before I actually started playing. I came in just after the switch to...

I usually twist the printed modules (sometimes combining two or three) to better fit the homebrew world I stick them in. I tend to redraw every map at least once myself, and because I'm a nut about it, I do it by hand. So to answer the poll, I really don't care if the map is hand-drawn or...

The ones I've played this year... Alkyone Faustus (gnomes are fun...) Kastianera Emanstalon (that's no last name spelled backwards) Veiktoria Kingmade Astyoche (really no last name) Belacane (anyone who knows where that name came from gets 10 cool points)

I think a lot, if not all, of the items on the list are important, especially knowing the rules and remembering what the players are capable of. Two things that I think a good DM needs, that arn't on the list, are flexibility and a sense of humor. Both are needed, because even if you sit down...

I always write my last name on the inside of the front cover, because when everybody in the group has the same book its easy to walk off with the wrong one otherwise. Aside from my name I don't write in my books: I can't stand marginalia. I do usualy have several dozen different sticky notes...

For People in my campaign: Plan A (6 people will sign up) did not pan out. Neither did Plan B (my brother comes down and fills out the numbers). So we are now onto Plan C. To wit: <s>The Big Book of Alternate Rules</s> <i>Unearthed Arcana</i> has a thing begining on page 72 called "Gestalt...

In the Eagles song James Dean there is a line that goes "...to fast to live/ to young to die..." Which immediatly led my brother and I to the conclusion that James Dean is somesort of undead bard out to take over the world via the entertainment industry. I've been meaning to run a game with...

I know I pronounce 'forte' incorrectly. I do it because a learned the word first as the musical term, and therefore an Italian pronunciation, and it is "for-tay" in that instance. (See the last usage note.) I think I have said the word in the sense of 'something I'm good at' maybe twice in my...

There is in fact a Plan B. There is also a Plan C. On Thursday, if I don't have more numbers I'll unvail them.

In my last campaign our party got thrown in prison twice. The first time, we were trying to break into the house of an evil cleric (only the town thought he was a good guy), were caught and tossed in jail. We got out by demanding trial by combat. While our champion fought, another party...
