Bump! Phew. Finally caught up again. How far is this last chapter from the in-game action? And what level are the characters now? I assume the time spent at the inn making things and so on is levelling? Oh, and one more question: Sagiro, have you read Neil Gaiman's Sandman? The inn reminds...

That's great news, Paladin and P/wife. I know this has been going on for a long time now, but I'm sure it will sort out. In Oct 2001 I was made redundant, when the business I worked for closed. I'd had my mortgage for less than two years then. I didn't start working again until just over...

I'd also recommend following some standard conventions for your dice rolls. eg - High is always good for the roller. This means if it's not declared before hand then it always works that way. - Miss chance is usually 50%. So, you can roll any dice you want for your miss chance, and if it's...

An Intern - isn't that a job involving "personal time" with the President? :-) Duncan

Oh! Lucky you mentioned it here, as it got put in my spam folder! (First time I'm aware of that I've had that happen in my Yahoo account). Anyway, it's fine now and all confirmed and paid. Duncan

Well, a *bump* for this thread, and to note that I placed my order. Duncan

More of a spelling and editing error than typo - in a Living Greyhawk module there was a bad guy who was described as having a lot of scars. But then throughout the text of the module he was described as a very scared rather than a very scarred man. But it did make it rather humerous to Dm...

Hi, I have just looked at my list of subscribed threads, and it has zero. Yesterday there were close to 200. Am I missing something? Is something wrong with my account, or has something changed in the server? Thanks Duncan

Hi Paladinwife, and Mr Paladin too! Regarding the Kippahs, it might be a good idea to have a little comment on the site regarding what they are - I figured it out after looking, but obviously others haven't been so sure. Secondly, I've been running a group of five players through Return to...

Hello, I was just wondering after reading your post and the suggestions - have you actually played D&D? Or even some of the computer games that are based on D&D (Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Temple of Elemental Evil, for example)? Your user details don't show where you live, but maybe...

I saw this thread first a few hours ago. I didn't post then, as I couldn't find the words. Now when I was ready to post I find that he has already passed away. As a gay man, I found great strength in Ryan's posting here. I wouldn't call myself closeted (out to friends, family, but not at...

It's MIA. The next SL product isn't due until December apparently. There is a discussion about this on the SL forum at www.swordsorcery.com Duncan

Yeah, but purchasing the hardback now from amazon is cheaper than buying the paperback on the day of it's release :-) Oh, and when I went shopping for the book the other day the store had a display containing both Eragon and Pattern Recognition - both books I couldn't find when they were the...

It definately left me feeling cut off. I had all my threads marked as daily emails, and I would then peruse the recent posts - and log on if I wanted to add somethings. On top of that I would look for new topics that caught my interest, but didn't need to search out replies to my posts because...

Ok, I'll try to go through the bookstores near work tomorrow lunch time. After that we have a long weekend and I will be DMing at a game convention for the weekend, so I won't have the time. I'm not reading anything that has really grabbed my attention right at the moment anyway. Duncan

I'm still interested in the Book Club, but I haven't read the last few books. That's because here in Australia I've had difficulty finding some of them, and the lag time and cost of ordering from Amazon are prohibitive. But I do look for the books when they are announced, and if I can find...

Just to re-iterate my original post, I usually only roll the stabalization checks for BBEG. But for others, I try to remember how badly they were under 0. If, for instance, they go down at -2 and the combat ends 5 rounds later, they are still alive. The PCs can decide what to do (stabalize...

You could pronounce the first name as the GH in Sigh is pronounced - silent. Then the ae is pronounced as an e, like in Caesar. Leaving you with Ele - like Elle MacPherson. Duncan :-)

Just wondering the opinions of players and especially DMs on this topic. When I DM and an NPC goes negative I try to keep some rough count in my head of whether they are still alive when the combat ends. I like my PCs to have to make active choices to heal them, coup de grace or just let them...

I ran this game numerous times. Only ran the second part once, and don't think I ever ran the third. I had fun running it, and I think my players had fun playing. Recently I played a Neverwinter Nights adaption of the first two, and they were very good translations. Duncan
