Your point still stands, however... $20 = 2000 cents / 100 pages = 20 cents/page. 20 cents/page / 10 powers/page = 2 cents/power.

Understatement of the century. I would guess on average it got maybe four posts a day. No reason for it to be a separate forum. The basic fact is that visibility isn't a problem. The problem is that so few people here are talking about board games. This one is a little more strange to me...

I think a number of people here are missing the forest for the trees. Cirno's argument is players of casters, and especially Wizards, hold a degree of control over the story by way of magic that players of non-casters can never match. To use a "story" example; consider a murder mystery. With...

I know this is lazy of me to ask, but could you provide a link? I looked around for a bit and couldn't find a weekly schedule. Why it isn't right on the calendar page with the calendar I don't understand.

I've been reading through WotBS (and the forums here) now that I've broken down and accepted the fact that I have to use Paypal to be a CS (and have some spare money). It's funny you mention that story about the Fire Forest RangerWickett, because my thoughts ran along the same lines. I love...

Well, there was that leaked Blizzard schedule saying their new MMO is scheduled for 2014... WotC needs to first prove that they can do digital competently before they can prove anything commercially.

People on Usenet creepy? No way! ;) At some point, the old accounts were wiped, which is why no one has a join date before 2002. So everyone's street cred was lost anyway. :)

That said, silicon chemistry is often fairly different from carbon chemistry. As one example, the Si-H bond is more reactive than the C-H bond. Methane (CH4) is flammable but basically un-reactive with air or water. Silane (SiH4) on the other hand is highly reactive with air, spontaneously...

It was maybe late 1999 or early 2000; definitely before 3E came out. I think it may have been February? I remember Henry's "C'mon August" fondly. There were vague rumors about 3E at the time, and I was on one of the alt.* newsgroups looking for information. I remember Eric posting on them...

If I were starting over, the big change I would make is to not run the first adventure. It doesn't really add anything to the adventure, and Brindol rapidly gets ditched for Overlook as a base of operations. In fact, if I hadn't read ahead, it's very much a DM trap - you might think to flesh...

"Christmas Tree" doesn't refer to high-loot games. "CT" specifically refers to the need for lots of items to be effective. In 3E, you would have needed all that stuff to be effective. In 4E, if your Warlord lost most of it, he would still be an effective character. That was the design change...

The short answer is they're not supposed to. Rangers are supposed to be doing large amounts of damage, more than non-Strikers. In fact, Rangers are perhaps the largest damage-dealers in the game. What Wizards have that Rangers don't is a lot of effects, and a lot of multi-target abilities...

11. Morrus, you ninja you!

Basically, there's isn't really a way to disable it. If the kid knows how to get to safe mode, I'm sure he's smart enough to look up how to bypass anything put on the computer. You said you don't really know the mom, and I'm sure you're trying to be helpful. Really though, the answer is that...

Biochemist/engineer here, so likewise. :P I've done research on the effects of electrical currents and fields on cells, as did several people in my department. So I feel confident saying there are definitely effects on the cellular level. In the case of something like an EMP that's...

I don't mean this to overly pedantic, but the whole system works because there's a voltage gradient across the cell membrane to start with. The ions move through voltage-gated ion channels. Mess with that gradient, you disrupt the whole system. My point was, take most fictional...

Me neither. It's just that traditional wisdom is that Chuck will get canned because of the ratings. However, for NBC it's not nearly that simple this year, so the traditional wisdom doesn't really hold.

I've been running Scales of War for my (heroic tier) group, and I'm regretting it now. I did have the advantage of having all the adventures, so I've been working in more of a broad plot involving dragons. Even so, it has required a lot of work to bring it together, and I'm trending towards...

Woot! Is this an upgrade from ENW's current servers, or just migrating to some new equipment? Will this be including vBulletin upgrades as well?

Well, first things first - the ratings aren't likely to be stellar. I love Chuck, but it's a terrible lead-in show. I'm not expecting the show to get picked up. My guess is going to be six episodes before a decision is made. They'll want enough lead time to add to the order if it's a hit...
