    Damn, am I pissed

    How about just letting his tyres down? :-)

    What does DR look like?

    Actually, that's a very good point. Older editions talked about hit points being abstract, representing one's luck at dodging blows, etc. As one's hit points got lower the luck was running out, and the big hit was coming soon. And there is the endless problem of people assuming that one...

    What are the least-used skills in D&D?

    I'd be very worried about playing in a campaign like this... No Spellcraft? so you never know what an enemy is casting? Or do you always know? No Concentration? So no-one ever casts a spells near a foe? Or is success automatic? No Tumble? Do people not try for flanking position, or can they...

    What does DR look like?

    Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. I do realise that passing through would look like Incorporeal, and insta-heal like regen/fast healing; My players are generally good enough to realise that I am describing beyond the base rules. I was hoping to formulate some kind of structured...

    What does DR look like?

    So, I've been wondering - what does it look like if you hit a creature with DR against your weapon. A few ideas include - weapon passes through harmlessly - weapon bounces off - weapon appears to wound creature, but wounds immediately heal I would like to be able to describe these...

    Ditto. In fact, it might be worth checking with all international donators. Duncan

    Where can I find a Good Source of Free Adventures?

    Have you considered the RPGA? If you become a member (which is free) you can order modules and run them for your friends. They are generally pretty good, and they are free. They are available for a range of levels. While most are set up for RPGA campaigns (such as Living Greyhawk), you can...

    Young Gamers

    DMing kids can be interesting. As someone else said, they have a lot more wonderment at the new things they meet. Last weekend I ran a game that included a 7 year old and a 9 year old. It was a long game (8 hours), and they did very well. I didn't have to worry too much about the rules with...

    Ragnarock for the Scarred Lands

    Well, I can't say I'm surprised. I own all current SL material, and I really enjoy the setting. I started a campaign a couple of years ago, but that fell away. Currently I'm running RttToEE, but we are in the home stretch, and my players and I are all looking forward to the new SL campaign I...

    The Thousand Orcs

    I believe Bruenor knew what he was doing when he fought the Shadow Dragon. I think he knew the protective powers of twinkle and used them extremely well in a heroic act that might have brought about his death, while saving his friends. Just because the others thought he died doesn't mean he...

    Neil Gaiman: Badly Overated?

    Heheh - you stilled mis-spelled his name in your apology for mis-spelling it. STEPHEN. Not Steven. :-) On to Mr Gaiman: I read Sandman when they first came out. Loved them. I saw the Neverwhere TV series, and it was ok, but not as good as Sandman. I've read both American Gods and...

    Nothing quite so cool as...

    Reminds me of something.... About 10 years ago a friend of mine came to the city I live in (population about 300,000). I was about town during the day and ran into him. He was a little surprised by this as I was the only person in the town he knew (so he said). Anyway, that night we went out...

    technical question (for PC gurus out there)

    burning it to CD is a reasonable option, but I'm guessing that's locked down on your machine, too. If your email bounces anything with a zip tag, why don't you : winzip the file into smaller components rename the files to something else (eg *.txt) email them. receive them at work rename them to...

    DVDs: Anyone had this happen?

    I have two DVD players in my living room. One is just over four years old, the other one year. I have had a couple of newer CDs not play in my old DVD player. But that one's a multi-zone. I own a few DVDs from the US and the UK, so I made sure I got a DVD player that would play them. The...

    Who needs sleep?

    Once, many years ago, I was nodding off during a Traveller game. I looked at a (digital) clock and saw time. The party were trying to figure out how to block a hatch to stop the alien monster from consuming the party. I had my eyes closed as the conversation continued. They talked about it...

    What would you do with a windfall?

    Largest Amazon order EVER! :-) Actually, I'd probably pay out the loan my mother gave me for my mortgage deposit, do some renovations on my house, and go to Origins and Gencon next year. Anything left over would go towards the mortgage. Duncan
