    Can anyone explain the logic behind the silent treatment?

    I consider it unreasonable in both cases for exactly the same reason: I can't be bothered. I like hanging out with people who like to hang out with me. Which explains why I'm sitting at home alone just now, but never mind that. If you want to hang out with me, you return my FIRST call. Heck...

    Can anyone explain the logic behind the silent treatment?

    I'm still trying to accept that you called him EIGHT TIMES. I don't say it isn't totally rude and obnoxious of him, but seriously? I don't think I'd call a GIRL eight times if she blew me off. Hey, some people are jerks. Them I stop calling, that's all. I'm sure nine times out of ten they're...

    Dead Man's Chest -- Spooky Pirate Fun -- COMPLETE! Nov 3/06

    We don't want to hear about the monkeys. Quinn hasn't given us a moment's rest on the subject since we left Cap-Haitien. I swear, if I hear one more word about those damned monkeys I'll throw the blighter overboard. He hasn't been sober a day since either. We have been making our cautious way...

    "Quinn!" Ana ran forward to grab her reeling friend just before he crashed to the cobbles. Quinn pitched into her arms, moaning. Dras rushed out and pulled the pair back into the alley. "Quinn, what happened? What happened to you? Are you okay?" The Irishman's head lolled. He managed to lift...

    True 20 - Is it really Simpler?

    Said with such confidence: And then: Alright, alright. But aside from Conviction, two-weapon fighting, cleave and great cleave, what have the Romans ever really done for us?

    D&D Movie: Wrath of the Dragon God

    I thought it blew chunks. Crapola. Turd-fest. I combined a review of it and Philip Glass' Koyaanisqatsi on my blog: A disaster. No, that's the first one. This one is much, much less charming. Although, if this one HAD been made in the 80's, it would be a better film, because only somebody who...

    True 20 - Is it really Simpler?

    It wouldn't be hard at all, although AoO are really best used with a grid and miniatures and True20 not so much. And keep in mind that AoO will be the only way to get more than one attack per round, so the effect could be more than you bargain on. Let us know how it goes!

    My Beef with Social Skills

    I like to use social skills in pretty much the opposite way most people have been describing them. Rather than describe what my player is going to do, then getting a modifier on my skill check based on my action, I roll the check, and THEN describe what happens. Especially with Diplomacy, I...

    Dead Man's Chest -- Spooky Pirate Fun -- COMPLETE! Nov 3/06

    Actually, I disallowed Bokor and Hougan as PC classes. Yes, I cheated. I wanted to keep magic at a bit of arm's length from the players, for extra creepifying. But I used the basic ideas and rituals from S&B. I also used the CoC Sanity mechanic and added Sanity costs to everything supernatural...

    I want you. I need you. I must have you. In a manly sort of way, of course. Cap'n Boff: I used the rules in Skull & Bones, from Green Ronin. GREAT book. Seriously.

    True 20 - Is it really Simpler?

    iwatt: A True20-ized Hot Pursuit is definitely on my list of things to do. Stay tuned. Elodan: Certainly monster conversions are DEAD easy. It takes no more time to "convert" them than it does to copy down the stat block. I didn't try to convert any very complex NPCs but there again I wouldn't...
