    Thanks, that's what I thought.

    How does Web work?

    Hi, last friday's session we came up with a question as to how the web spell works. Whe you succeed your initial save, you have to make strenght checks to move through the web. The spell says you can move 5 ft for every full 5 points by which the check exceeds 10. As I understand it you have to...

    Did you notice?

    It's not a flagon, it's a carrot. They wanted to do a pipe, but since it was raining, smoking a pipe would have been even stranger.

    Battlefield Scenarios

    What about a double siege! The PC's are inside a city under siege. This alone gives some interesting possibilities: small parties try to sneak through the siege to find much needed provisions, to get a message out,... Small tacitical units have to destroy a tunnel being built by the enemy. ONe...

    Originally posted by Rhialto: Don't change the subject! I was just enjoying myself.:D Now, was there a car or wasn't there? I just can't believe a Nazgul on a horse could throw up all that dust.

    Fair? Perhaps not. Healthy? Probably. :)

    OT - Non Warhammer fantasy wargames & websites?

    Basically, yes. There are some added details that enhance the game (in my opinion at least): cavalry can try to retreat from combat, skirmishers work slightly different (regular troops don't have to make panic tests for seeing the flee), rules for light troops, drilled troops, ...) In the army...

    Battlefield Scenarios

    You have been engaged by the enemy sooner than expected. The army command had meant to take up positions on a hill a few miles north. The battle has already started, but the much needed cavalry reserve still has not arrived. During the afternoon the general gets reports from his scouts: the...

    OT - Non Warhammer fantasy wargames & websites?

    I mostly play warhammer ancient battles. When you drop the magic and ignore the GW machine, you have a really fun game. A few years ago, the author of the rules, Jervis Johnson, posted a bit of a system to design your own army lists: how to calculate point values for your troops. You can find...

    Discussing problems with D&D/d20 rules...

    For me D&D/d20 is a bit of the best of both worlds, when it comes to enjoying my games. I used to hate AD&D. It was fairly complex, the rules were a mess (do I roll high of low, yesterday I couldn't tell a deer from a bear but today I am one of the worlds foremost hunting experts, ...) So I used...

    Did you notice?

    When Sam and Frodo are leaving the Shire, Sam says: "if I take one more step, this will be the furthest I've ever been." When they start walking again, you can see smoke coming from the top of a hill in the right screen corner. A friend of mine swears its a car that's driving over there. :eek...

    Wheel of Time

    Hmm, got me there. Maybe you can move around as long as you don't tie off the weave? Or maybe Asmodean used some compulsion-esque trick on the maidens. Don't quite remeber the scene you're refering to. (Damned boxes, can't even look it up in the book!)

    What do you most enjoy in fantasy lit?

    Oooops, I picked World. Hope you'll still let me post here... I like a diverse well thought out world. That's why I like Robert Jordan. I agree with most critics that he churns out his story way to slow. But I'dd hate to miss all the detailed goodness that he turns out about his setting.

    I need bad D&D jokes! (my players stay out)

    Sorry, I'm not used to telling jokes in English. Hope this comes over right. A barbarian walks into a bar and orders 10 pints of ale. After he's finished those, he orders 9. Some time later he order 8. Later 7 more, then 6, then 5, then 4. By the time he has just ordered 3 pints, one of the...

    Wheel of Time

    Since I'm moving and all my stuff is in boxes (really pathetic, seeing your life reduced to a big stack of cardboard boxes), I haven(t checked the book. But isn't there a scene in one of the books (lord of Chaos?) where Rand hides Egwene in his room in the sun palace. It's clearly stated that...

    When heroes lose their heroism

    Common enough problem I think. A lot of published modules start from the assumption that PC's tend to be good and will do the right thing. I never thought this was very realistic (insofar fantasy can be realistic!)Modern fantasy literature sometimes strugles with the same problem. We've been...

    Wheel of Time

    I believe the defence rating was added to maken armour less necessary than in standard D&D, becaus most of the characters tend to wear little to no armour, except when facing battle. Are your players wearing less armour than in a standard D&D game?
