That would be "Spy's Demise", if you are talking about the drink at the Safe House. :-)

When playing D&D (which I dm more often than play) most of my characters haven't been sexually defined - ie, it never came up. In other games that is also usually the case. I have played in stright relationships in some games. Recently I played a butler in a game (well, he was a bit more...

Re: Well, I for one am irritated. I don't think that Admin staff is the problem. They need experienced RPG designers to read through the proposals, and they couldn't really hire those for the project. They have to come from the staff at WotC. As for noticing on the boards how excited the...

Free pot? wow, if I smoked pot I might be interested in that! :-)

Hmm, interesting question. I started roleplaying when I was twelve. I came out when I was 20. So I'd been roleplaying for a long time before I accepted I was gay. I have always been an outsider. I was constantly picked on at school (first because I was sick a lot, and then because of...

Hi, There have been discussions in the past about gays who roleplay. I also remember a topic last year about portraying homosexuals in a campaign. The discussion was civilised, and many board members outed themselves at the time. AFAIK Angelsboi is still Enworld's gay representative. But...

WooHoo! Now that Morrus is gone, it must be time for a big party... I'll call everyone over at Nutkinland, you guys buy some beer and food, and invite all your friends. I'm sure we can clean up the place beofre Morrus gets back :-) Duncan

ah - I missed that thread as the topic gave me no clues as to what it was about, and I didn't notice the thread starter. Thanks Duncan

Hi, well, as per the topic, I was just wondering why I haven't seen anything lately about the competition. IIRC they said they would announce in early August. (Oh, and I didn't enter...) So, what's happened? There was so much excitement about the search before the extension - where has it...

Back when I started DMing basic D&D, in 1983, I had a player who brought along a character he'd created. He tried to tell me that he had rolled 3d6 6 times and had got sixes on every die. He called the character "Hercules", and he was a fighter. Oh, and he was only 11 or 12 at the time, and I...

While java may be slower than native code in most cases, there are now some aspects of Java that claim to be faster than native code. Also, e-tools is only available on one platform. Java, and therefore PCGen, is available on many, many more. Anyone who uses Unix, Linux, or Mac can use PCGen...

well, I didn't notices "lasses" (my eye had started to skip text by then), but I did notice "justy" and "restige" :-) Duncan

Something about good leaders that is true outside of roleplaying: A leader listens to the advice (especially from someone with more knowledge in the area being discussed than the leader has), and then makes a decision. This is important in a game because you need to allow the other players to...

What about non-humans? Does this mean that if the average elf is middle aged at 175 (as per PHB), then they will be an average of Level 11 or so? I think that starts becoming really difficult. Duncan

First Draft Hi Morrus, I like your draft. I believe 100% that drop down menus is the way to go. I have a 21" monitor, so the way I see the site (both current and draft) may be different to most. But when I looked at the menus above the ad block, and they opened up into the ad blocks...

Since no-one else has mentioned this: in 1e, Psionics worked 10 times faster than normal combat. This meant that if you had a group that wasn't all psionic involved in a psionic combat then the psionic monsters and characters got 10 actions for every one round that non-psionic characters got...

$120 for rent is per week, isn't it? (in the US it's often discussed as an amount per month, so I wanted to reduce confusion). Duncan

I think you mean Queenstown, not Queensland? Unless they changed the name in the last couple of months ;-) Duncan

Re: Time, time, time When I was still in school I wrote a short story. A few days later I couldn't find it, so I wrote it again. Then I found the original. I put the two versions together to great a third version, which was definately the best of the three. I found that this was a really...
