From my personal experiences with female gamers, ranging from having a single woman in a group of men to groups predominantly composed of women to all-women groups, I have to agree with the OP about the way women change the dynamic of a D&D group. I've invariably found women to be extremely...

Damn - I really want to see that made into a movie!

Added a little bit more to the writeup about something AviLazar reminded me of:

Thanks. This is why I have to use advanced/templated beholders versus these bums :p Once Nameless' greater anticipate teleportation gave them the jump on the aberrations, it was all over bar the shouting. And me too! Every time I think these guys have come up with one of the weirdest ways to...

Multiple times :)

Check out the Eberron Campaign Setting. It contains a new core class called the artificer, which has the ability to drain items to gain XP for creating new magic items. You could also just house rule in the ability (perhaps via a feat), with the benefits depending on what draining magical items...

The next morning, the three surviving members of the Guardian Angels prepare to leave Karrnath. Before they can do so, Korm is contacted by Elabenna via a sending. “Have you had any success? Tried to contact Nameless but got no response. What happened? Did you locate Khesavuthir? When will you...

You win the thread :D

Alas, being an English teacher, my first thought on reading the strip was that Rich used "reigning" for "reining". The horror, the horror!

Spell Compendium.

True. I don't really expect modern people to have so-called modern sensibilities either :) Different strokes, I guess. I saw it last night and thought it was quite mediocre. The liberties they take with history didn't bother me at all, since I was expecting them. I just didn't think much of...

Actually, I'm planning to kill 4e and loot a lot of stuff from its carcass for this game. Rackhir has the right of it. Amber (my girlfriend, who just leaned over and reminded me to post that she is TEH AWESOME!) has been staying with me and is taking off tomorrow, so I've been busy with her...

Nah, all my degrees (BA and two MAs) are in English. But I was always a science student through high school, if that helps.

I'm a graduate student in English Literature working on my Ph.D. (and fourth degree). I pay the bills - and buy a few gaming books - by teaching undergrad courses in the same department, either freshman comp or literature (mostly drama, such as Shakespeare or Intro to Drama, but sometimes also...

Xagygyrag smiles an amused smile. “You can leave when I say so.” He extends a claw for the haversack, and taking it, casts a spell. The haversack opens and its contents begin to appear of their own accord, the scrolls unrolling themselves in mid-air before the dragon as they are opened one by...

Fine, fine - no more cliffhangers! Maybe. * * * * * * * * * * Xagygyrag proceeds around the corner with Gareth, moving surprisingly fast for a creature of his size. He takes the first side turning, one which the Angels had passed by on their way to the area where the battle occurred, and...

Yup, yup, and yup. There are lots of things I did with 3e/3.5e which required me to be very creative and mess with the rules as written. Just like I had house-ruled Thac0 and AC to ascending numbers in my 2e games. But a ruleset which already does that for me is one I can seriously get behind.

Damn right. *looks sadly at dusty old stick with hong-shaped indentation in it* Aah - good times!

“Maybe he’s right,” says Six, scraping uselessly at the ice caking the metal and wood of his form as painfully as his allies’ flesh. “No!” snaps Nameless, through frozen and cracked lips, “This is the only chance we’ll have! Luna, I need healing and protection! Everyone, keep attacking – don’t...

And here it is, finally, almost exactly one month since the last update. I appreciate your patience. And I hope it's worth it. Many PCs suffered, to bring you this update :] * * * * * * * * * * The next morning, the Guardian Angels descend cautiously into the center of Khesavuthir, but there...
