    Who's got the right stuff for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1990s?

    OH MY GOD! I can't believe I forgot about that show! Which I honestly feel is one of the best shows to ever get cancelled mid-run (if not the best). And yes, that is a brilliant suggestion, his character had more than normal abilities, but not by much, was a "real-world" detective (and no...

    Who's got the right stuff for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen 1990s?

    Ash - Evil Dead 2 An old Indiana Jones to play the Quatermain-type character I have to say no way on Victor from Pulp Fiction, he was both a villain, and utterly incompetent.

    Mooninite's close Boston

    Yes people are correct, those who overreacted are just ridiculous. Next idiots will be freaking out over some guy lighting his shoe... oh. If I were a bomber, I would make my devices look as silly as possible, so no one would think twice about them. Until it was too late. The ad campaign was...

    Erfworld

    I've got to go with; neither the style of the art, not the presentation gave me any interest in seeing more of that whatsoever. bleh.

    Wizards are supposed to be rich, right?

    After "Your stories are gay, and elven, so no one wants to hear them." I think I have heard enough to judge the DM fairly well, actually.

    Wizards are supposed to be rich, right?

    Get a new DM. Seriously though, your DM obviously does not want you being creative and RP'ing ways to earn a living, so really, you should give it up. All that can come of trying further is your DM will find ways to make your PC suffer.

    Should Spot checks include looking up?

    Absolutely. I would guess that the DC to spot things that lurk on the ceiling already includes points for their "out of the way nature". Even so, I (like all of us) live in a world without Darkmantles and the like, and I always look up, indoors or out. I would be shocked if...

    The most disturbing thing youve seen/experienced

    I'll go with "most disturbing this week" to make it easy. ;) Some dumb woman, at a grocery store, wrist deep in a bin of "scoop you own" coffee beans, saying to her ~4 year old "You can feel them, it feels really neat, try it!" as he followed her repugnant lead and stuck his boogery hand in...

    Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin Dead

    Well, the part about him pulling the barb out himself would imply "not instantaneous". And from what I have read, it was not a punctured heart that killed him, just rapid cardiovascular failure caused by the toxin. It is really rather sad. He was a decent guy, and this was a plain old...

    wishing for a permanent skill modifier

    Jus to keep on same page, the quote was "I wish for swimming ability". I would have added "great" in there, but... Don't you find it odd that you, and most people when they DM from what I have seen over many years, parse every word in a Wish so very closely, looking for any way to hurt the...

    wishing for a permanent skill modifier

    No, Ability is a common word in the English language (and it's parallels exist in most, if not all languages). And any Wizard worth a damn is at least a decent linguist, and if they are experienced enough to have mastered 9th level spells, they are knowledgeable enough to advise someone on how...

    this is for all DMs out there, and those players who actually care for the character

    Poems sometimes, songs sometimes, my fevered imagination others. :)

    wishing for a permanent skill modifier

    This confuses me. "swimming ability" is as non-meta-gaming a phrase as you can have in this context. It does not mention skill ranks, or skills at all. What do you expect to hear? Knowing/using the word "swimming" or the word "ability" is certainly not a use of gaming terms. I really don't...

    So Mad Can't See (Update 09/10; Victory!)

    This is actually one of the biggest misconceptions about cats. They are domesticated animals, and they love the creature comforts of home. An open (screened) window gives them all of the outdoors they need. (Think kitty TV.) On average, indoors-only cats live twice as long as outdoors cats...

    RANT: What happened to "customer service"?

    This bears repeating. Next time you read about how the average CEO's salary is over 500 times the average salary of the employees in their company, think about what that difference means for customer service.

    Attacked on introduction?

    Leave, the group kept vouching for what a great kid he was. There will be no upside to this campaign. Seriously, do yourself a favor and never go back.
