Once you switch to a different song, the five-round counter starts. There are a few ways to get two songs going at once (the Seeker of the Song PrC from Complete Adventurer, and there's a spell out there called, IIRC, Ghost Harp, that takes over a performance for you.) But you can't normally...

Probably my strangest online purchase was a hip flask with the symbol of the organization from Neon Genesis Evangelion. (EVO, I think?) It wasn't for me; it was a present for a friend of mine, who's a huge fan of the series.

I've been thinking about a game my roommate and I played in college, and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was called. I was hoping the general knowledge of ENWorld could help. It was an internet-based game, played in a browser. The basic game was somewhat like chess. Think Archon...

Maybe there's something you don't know.

If he's behind a router for the apartment, he'll want the internal IP, rather than the router's, which is what that site gives you. If XCorvis's suggestion doesn't work, and you're behind a router, try this. At the computer you want to connect to, go to the Start menu, and hit Run. Type in...

I'm only playing with friends, so yes. Actually, I'd mock them, and then ignore it. If it was more of an organized thing, going to a designated place at a certain time as part of an event, like you're describing, I don't think I'd be offended. Not sure how much I'd contribute, though it would...

Are you in the same workgroup with the Vista machine? I believe, with the default network printer settings, you can't print from outside the workgroup. Did you go through the Vista equivalent of the Add a Printer wizard? That's always been pretty successful for me. I believe it'll still be...

Sounds a bit like the Mournland, in Eberron. You might look at that, for a few details. What caused this devastation, and why hasn't life been able to return to the area? Is it the ghost? Or is there something else causing it? Will it have negative effects on the PCs? I'd imagine dead bodies...

Unless part of the character's hook involves his race in some way, I'm probably going to play a human. That said, my last couple of characters haven't been human. I'm about to start a dwarf bard, simply because I wanted to see how effective I could make the character. I'm currently playing a...

I know when I played IH, my character had way, way more skill points than I could ever use. I was playing an arcanist with an 18 Int, so I had the most skill points in the group by a wide margin. Basically, it got to the point where I was looking around for skills to take. I had to bother the GM...

There was, at one point, a third empath. Claude (The Invisible Man) has said that he previously had a partner with Peter's power.

Dang. That was the easy stuff. How long have you had the drive? Sometimes the laser used for writing DVDs will give out on you, which will mean you can't write any DVDs. Did you have quite a few write errors recently, leading up to a complete failure? That would suggest the laser as the...

How many DVDs have you tried, and did you get a new pack of them recently? DVD burning technology is a bit more complicated than CD burning - you have to make sure you get the right kind of DVDs for your burner. It should be either DVD+R or DVD-R; you have to make sure they're the same for the...

Here's the one I use. It was made by one of the other players in my game, who is an absolute marvel with bookkeeping. Makes life much easier.

I'll play Deadlands or Fading Suns at any opportunity. I'm starting to give some thought to running a Werewolf game again, now that I've had a chance to look over the new Forsaken rules. In the last couple of years, I've played Deadlands, Fading Suns, GURPS, a bit of World of Darkness, some...

I laughed out loud only a few times. I had seen the preview reel they showed at a con already online, and that contained most of the best jokes. The Doctor Who reference (Hyperspace is STRANGE!) and the non-involvement of Meg were both good fun. Adam West as Grand Moff Tarkin was hysterical...

I've used Craft (Writing) for a character with literary skills before. This is also what d20 Modern uses. That means it's Intelligence-based, which is the stat I think it should be. I'd certainly think that relevant Knowledge skills for what you're writing about would provide a synergy bonus to...

I think I'd be more surprised if they DIDN'T have a few gamers on staff. The name of the site itself is Ars Technica, after all. What do you think the odds are that the person who came up with that name had never read Ars Magica?

Hmmm. Looks like the shortest path to Chameleon is just Factotum5, which means he'll be a 7th level Chameleon. Access to a few 5th level spells as either a cleric or a wizard, and two spell-like abilities of up to 2nd level from his Factotum levels. I just noticed that if you use the Double...

The reason I pegged him around 20th level was simply because he's described routinely as the most powerful wizard in the world - or second to Dumbledore. To me, that suggests 20th level. If people in your view of the setting top out at lower level, then he'll be at or near that top level.
