"Your going to backstab him with a ballista?!?"

Hmm... Doritoes. You know... a d20 out of Doritoes is possible.

Greetings... I find the alignment system to be simplistic and deficient. I believe that alignment should be, at the very least be a reflection of what is expected of a practitioner of a particular belief-system or religion, and have those beliefs outlined. Then on top of this, you have a...

True enough. I never let anyone play anything under 11th Gen., because I saw no reason to let anyone play a powerful character. But I always saw WoD as being games where it's more about the setting and roleplaying than it was about the fire-power, killing things, and taking their stuff. Which...

Greetings... Yes, it is important. There is an illusion of equality in the game. The game wasn't designed to let you play a fighter with a lot of skills, or a rogue or wizard with a lot of feats. You can't mix and match the base components of your character. Not unless you want to use the...

I have a question... Q: What if we would like to recruit our players here, and play on another BBoard? How does EnWorld feel about that?

Greetings... Well, they always say the third time is the charm! :p

Greetings... Well, barring any extenuating circumstances, such as the death was pending in the previous game session (ie. the death trap), or was pre-discussed and agreed upon. No. I don’t think it’s a good idea to ever kill off a character when the player isn’t there. Even in situations...

Greetings… Well, like others… my favourite Magic System is Ars Magica. A system general enough that you could choose the effects you wanted for any particular task, known as spontaneous spells. Also, the system had 'pre-generated' or formulaic spells. So if you weren't in the mood, or in the...

Greetings... Yes! And while we're at it, let's remove anything from the game where it's a save-or-die effect. Because that's just being cruel too. Hey, and any offensive spell. Because we know what lots of people are going to be hurt and upset that their character is going to lose hitpoints...

Greetings... Well, the great thing about having a conspiracy nut like myself in these ranks, I can point you in the right direction. If your finding Zecharia Sitchin a little hard to read, there are lots of websites out there that sum it all up for you. Since we're talking about (and forgive...

Interesting. Well, here's what I believe would happen in a diminished-light world, along with a bunch of interesting postulation... Well, it's not the fact that you don't have 'no sun for a few centuries'. From what you say, from your initial comment is that it is a broken... eaten sun...

*sigh*

Mmm... Holy Beef... Yeah, G.R. pretty much laid it all out here. You can get by with up to light or medium armor, to cast spells with little or no spell failure. However, to me there shouldn't really be a reason why someone who is a dedicated wizard would have to wear armour. But...

For the most part whenever I've done rotating (round-robin) GMs... James' suggestion here is dead on. The DMing styles of the varoius DMs is often different enough that you don't want to rely on any of the other DMs to set up any particular situation for you. Unless it's a theme your working...

I wonder if we'll ever see and upgrade on this site to have the multi-quote feature. Where I can see it being conflicting, and hard to juggle. Sometimes the situations in the game are such that the party is only effective when each player is playing two characters. Usually, I make the...

Greetings... Losses are the best! Whenever I have a new group of players, I try to lay some sort of defeat or loss on them, without having to outright kill a party member. (I usually try to only kill a party member if they are being extremely stoopid!) If the players manage to lose on their...

Greetings... I found that when I end the sessions at a cliffhanger... or at a natural and logical place to cut things off. (Such as between two adventures, when the first one has ended); is usually the best way to interrupt the game. When I do the cliffhanger thing, the players come back to...

Yeah, it's a cliché that has been used since the beginning of... hmm... literature... and we don't need anymore good literature! We've got enough already. This sort of adventure you can only pull off once or twice, if you plan for it, and not have it happen serendipitously. It's like setting...

Have you been playing Paper & Paychecks again? -- No more Dilbert/Office-Space ~ D&D cross-overs m'kay? Otherwise we're going to start compelled to bring our home-made katanas to work.
