    2005 ENnie Nominations

    Um... that wasn't me. I think it was Chainmail Bikini Games. Okay, that one WAS me. Thank you for the compliment. *blushes* And of course, I'm biased, but I think it's STILL the best darn bard book out there. But then, I *want* someone to surpass it and blow it out of the water so I can get...

    ENnies predictions?

    My prediction is that Dextra will reveal to the world that Hellhound really IS Scrappy Doo. ;) --The Sigil

    2005 ENnie Nominations

    I don't know whether that improved or hurt my chances! ;) Either way, I guess it means you can't be accused of bias in your nomination process! LOL. Well, now I guess the cat is out of the proverbial bag. :) --The Sigil

    2005 ENnie Nominations

    Wow... I just woke up here on the left coast and already my morning is made! :) I'm humbled and excited to see that my name is on the list of nominees. Wow. Well, I actually went ahead and slashed Buy the Numbers to a discounted price in my euphoria this morning, but it's not on...

    On being an ENnies judge

    All you guys are poopyheads for not nominating my favorite product... becuase HoHF: Dwarves wasn't eligible this year. ;) Seriously, thanks for all the hard work, gents. I am looking forward to the nominations list so I can start filling out my "stuff to put on my birthday/Christmas list" ;)...

    "Scripted Combat Actions"

    I actually think this is a TERRIFIC idea. A wiki would be great. --The Sigil

    Looking for advice from parents: Gaming with baby

    Agreed about "the parent is the parent." I usually try to give warnings before "laying the smack down" (read: putting the child in time out/"naughty corner") the first time. I believe the kids need to know what the rules are before they are punished, rather than after; otherwise punishment...

    Looking for advice from parents: Gaming with baby

    Slightly OT, but I remember when my wife was expecting our first. I was GMing a Saturday game session, the players were 3rd or 4th level and were tomb-crawling and had just been set upon by a pair of mummies (this was about two or three months after 3e came out). In round 2 of combat, the...

    20 essential monsters

    One important thing to remember, too, is to try to get some synergy with your monsters to "fill in the gaps" between levels. For instance: Ogres riding wyverns. A gelatinous cube working with a stone golem (stone golem unaffected by cube). Orcs on hellhounds Chain devils on hellhounds Succubus...

    20 essential monsters

    1 - Orc - need mindless legions of mooks 2 - Zombie - need mindless legions of undead 3 - Mummy - "Classic" horror undead 4 - Vampire - "Boss" undead 5 - Ogre - "Boss" for orcs 6 - Troll - Uberboss for orc mooks 7 - Wyvern - "Minor" Dragon 8 - Red Dragon - Pick an age category (need a "major"...

    Finishing A Campaign - Thoughts?

    Psion already chimed in with my first thought - the PCs lead a small escape team to another dimension and seal it off from barsoom, allowing barsoom to be destroyed, but preserving the PCs in a pristine new world (kind of the "Adam and Eve" story?). Your next campaign can be set in the new...

    Rule-lite or Rule-heavy describe THE perfect ideal ruleset

    It is an easy thing to fix... in fact, I'm currently working up the companion volume to the Player's Guide you linked to - a GM's guide. Right now, I am looking to include the following: 1 - Monsters 2 - Treasure 3 - Traps 4 - A Sample Dungeon 5 - A few odd examples and some notes for...

    Why Are Bards...Bards?

    The problem with the bard as written is that his principle schtick - his music - is woefully underdeveloped. Plain and simple. I mean, if your wizard had the same spell list as every other wizard, and there was only one spell per level, it would suck. Clerics have tons of domains and spells...

    Would you allow this paladin in your game? (new fiction added 11/11/08)

    Not a good example - the apple is the object of your desire (to satisfy your hunger) in this case, not the vendor. The vendor is merely that which is required to facilitate you getting you the object you want. Thus, you have not objectified a person. In the case of prostitution, the body of...

    [PR] S T Cooley Publishing Presents: Arcane Arsenal - Jet Spells

    Looked in my FRCS. They made it an "Instantaneous" duration spell, 1d8 fire damage (5d8 max) with (IIRC) multiple rays. :( --The Sigil

    Interesting Ryan Dancey comment on "lite" RPGs

    (Without reading the rest of the thread) oD&D immediately jumps to mind. You remember, the one that eventually morphed into the Basic/Expert/Companion/Master/Immortal Boxed Sets and upon which most D&Ders cut their teeth? First printing: 1977 Nineteenth printing: 1999...

    [PR] S T Cooley Publishing Presents: Arcane Arsenal - Jet Spells

    Hopefully that "can't do anything else" is itself offset by the (D) in the duration - the caster can end the effect and do something else if he so chooses. ;) And of course, if he wants to do something else but doesn't need to use the hand taken up by the jet spell, he's free to cast other...
