    D&D Goes International

    area 51 you'd have to ask someone from (nevada i think?)... however, in roswell, there are some additional bits... 1) all players must wear one item of clothing/jewelry which resembels the head of a gray-alien. 2) all games must be conspiracy theories, of one form or another. beware, the DM...

    Rifts -- Who's played it?

    another person here who liked the setting, but found the rules to be rather wonky/cumbersome. actually i really dislike the concept of megadamage - i just can't quite see how a vibroknife could do as much damage as a nuclear weapon...

    D&D Goes International

    you forgot bard = overpaid obnoxious hollywood star ;) hmm.. and number 10 sounds suspiciously like texas to me... ;) also, for santa fe: 11) all d&d games must take place in art gallery or coffee shop. 12) all home-brew campaign worlds must be made in accordance with city ordanance - no...

    Beginnings of my own Pantheon

    i like the idea that you've seperated a god to undeath from a death god. the two are very different concepts... i'd put in a god of death, but make them lawful-neutral, or something similar, and set them opposed to the god of undead. one thing i've done in the course of building my own...

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

    i'd allow it for a couple of reasons: 1) nothing intrinsicly wrong about sexuality. period. 1a) cedric did not "pay" for the privalege - he KNOWS that he doesn't have to, and yet goes out of his way to support the establishment he frequents. that is VERY consistant with the concept of tithe and...

    How do you map your homebrew?

    cc2 does 1, 3, and 5 without much issue. with some workarounds, number 4 is also doable.

    D&D Goes International

    also in new mexico... 5. game always starts 30 mins late because of albuquerque traffic jams due to constant construction on every city street, as well as freeways. 6. double xp for making fun of texans or californians in character. 7. we don't eat pizza, we eat tortillas with beans, meat...

    Rolecall for the Dead - Bring out your dead!

    campaign i'm in right now alrin the halfing rogue, torn in half by a hippogriff and fed to its young kerrick human monk, fried by lightning bolts from four arrowhawks (though a hippogriff was present also...)

    Effect of axial tilt on a planet

    go earlier and look at umbran's posts, for the answer to your first question. for the second... well, we don't know what thickness venus' crust is - or have a really solid explanation for the lack of plate tectonics there. what seems to be happening with venus is that it periodically...

    Effect of axial tilt on a planet

    viva la red dwarf main-sequence stars! ;) neet - i'm actually very interested in seeing the difference. the entire idea of an orbital body keeping a planet tectonicly active interests me... what % of the larger body's mass is needed for a moon to keep a planet viable? how would this relate to...

    Getting Busy Adults Together to Play Games

    actually i should apologize. i guess i really did jump on this wrong way. i guess it's a reaction i have had since becoming a parent and noticing that even the flakey d&d players with whom i was aquainted were no longer interested in being around. so, i apologize. i did misunderstand your meaning.

    Effect of axial tilt on a planet

    however, if we're going to play with the laws of thermodynamics, then EVERYTHING gets cold and becomes a "simple rock" eventually. entropy is fun, isn't it? now, is your thought experiment wrong? nope, dead on. but how is it relavent to the point? consider that the moon is not the only thing...

    Just Curious ... Hom many come from AD&D?

    my father got me started when i was six years old, in 1987, with ad&d... been hooked ever since.

    Getting Busy Adults Together to Play Games

    ignorant because you are discounting the many thousands of parents out there who do play d&d, reliably - even though they have children. offensive because you seem to think that it's so important that the parents not be gamers if someone wants a regular session. offensive because you see this...

    Getting Busy Adults Together to Play Games

    as a gamer, and a parent, i find your remarks not harsh, but ignorant and offensive. the group i've been playing in has had the occasional cancellations, but EVERY group has those. 4 of the 7 people in our gaming group have young children, and one is a grandmother who occasionally has to bring...

    Effect of axial tilt on a planet

    i should clarify: earth albedo scale. and note that the clouds i'm talking about are water, rather than the co2/hydrogen sulfide and other hydrocarbons that make up venus' atmosphere.

    Themes

    actually i would find this useful as a gm... sometimes. i think this is the kind of thing that most gms do with a pre-published mod regardless.. so this might help out with gm prep time, but aside from that it doesn't add much to the adventure. maybe a sidebar with 2-4 different themes would...

    Railroading is bad?

    it's really a play-style thing. people like to feel in control of their characters, rather than feel like the dm is just telling them what to do. good gms' do an invisible railroad - they just keep focusing, very subtly, the players back on the right path. and it sounds like you do try to do that.

    Party Let Down

    ...possible, but i wouldn't go there because to the players it feels as though they aren't accomplishing anything, but having it handed to them - which can be just as demoralizing as leaving a session on a down-low note.
