If you mean this monster Dragonne I've never played 2e, so I can only go off of what I know from 3.5 and in 3.5 it's a cr7, meaning that unless you have a very large party (much bigger than 4 char) that just the dragonne is going to be a very tough fight. If they are a weak party (You seem to...

We know Jinn doesn't die. He was in the flashforwards when Sun was giving birth. Sun did seem to think he was dead IIRC, though.

Unfortunately Philly is currently devoid of gaming stores. Some of the comic shops carry stuff, but nobody's really covering the hobby. There is a branch of the Complete Strategist Hobby shop up in King of Prussia, if you don't have a car, the 125 Bus takes you right by it. Fat Jack's just up...

It is not necessary to have a PCI-e x16 slot with almost all the graphics cards. Most of them should function in as little as a x4 slot as long as the slot is physically a x16 slot (Often they will use the physical x16 slot, but only hook up a lesser number of data connections). An x8 Slot (if...

Good update. It's not Burne, but it has it's own charm. This post passes over the battles in the wastes, where we freed Mephisophocles. But considering all the damage Rackhir took in those, it's probably best forgotten. Not too much of interest happened anyway besides some fights. It was in...

While this is a useful idea, it does nothing about spells that are non-combat (such as permanency) or where there is plenty of time to regain spells. Getting to cast Wish on a daily basis, even if it took up all your slots, would really ruin things. Unless you're going to have the characters...

1) Don't bother recording what everyone did every round. Just try to give a feel of the flow of combat. If something notable happened (a crit, particularly damaging series of attacks, a spell that changed the course of combat, etc...) note that. Spells are a bit easier since if someone knows...

Glad to see you posting again (contact). Been liking what I've read of the SH so far. Just sorry it took me so long to get around to reading it.

Konichi wa. Glenn Cook has a couple of terrific fantasy series. The Black Company series tells the tale of a mercenary force that goes to work for the Bad Guys! The Dread Empire series by Cook is another great one. Recently reprinted in two omnibus (multiple books in one) volumes. The...

Yeah, something in this sort of niche has been a long time request of a lot of mac people. I'm dubious though as to the probability of seeing this sort of machine any time soon. Gamers are a large chunk of the market for that sort of machine and Jobs does have something against games for some...

What proprietary hardware? They use standard hard drives, ram, intel processors. Most USB stuff will work out of the box. The motherboards are only as proprietary as those in an HP or Dell and it's just as possible as with PC to drop in a replacement processor if you're so inclined. PCIe Cards...

Oh, there's no question about Steve Jobs being one arrogant and full of himself SOB. Nobody who knows anything about him thinks he's a nice person or fun to be around. However, he is someone who does have a vision and a style that are unique. Lots of companies have tried to copy what Apple's...

There are always going to be multiple browsers and multiple ways of rendering web pages that are not going to be identical no matter what browsers are being used. If this really bothers you this much, then you should probably find a different line of work/education. I mean there's at least three...

So your world is so fragile that the fact that you got a notification that there's a new version of Safari is cause for wailing and gnashing of teeth?

I find a lot of this to be needlessly confrontational vs the players. The objective of a D&D game is not to "Beat" the players. While a DM shouldn't avoid hitting characters weaknesses, the sessions shouldn't be built around using them to screw the characters either. The DM has essentially...

Wraithstrike is in the Spell Compendium and is widely considered to be an extremely broken spell. I think he meant Aberrant troll as in a troll that wasn't normal, not as in a specific type of troll. Since Trolls aren't normally casters, having one that was, would be an "aberration". RE: Your...

Archers with readied actions or opposing casters as I described above can easily nail someone doing a summoning and inflict enough damage to make sure they loose the spell. Especially if they use this tactic a lot, it's perfectly reasonable to have opponents who will be prepared for this sort of...

Sounds like you need to fill us in a bit more. How exactly do they get ac's in the 30's? If they're doing it with buffs, those run out. Also they should get ambushed at least once in a while before/while they're buffing. If items then you've probably been too generous. If you're letting them...

Our DM Shilsen (who really is broken) regularly beats up severely, our 5 char, caster heavy, extremely buffed, 15th lv group with stuff that is nominally well below our CR. There's a couple of examples starting with post #6. There's a couple of others in the Story Hour for our group...
