I am very sorry for your loss :(

Thanks for all the kind words and condolences. I know I shouldn't use the game as escapism, but its tempting. I'm still there for my fiance, as this is a rough time for her. She keeps asking if she should contact her friend (which I tell her of course she should) because she's afraid of...

One would like to think that the reason we play roleplaying games is because we want to live in fantasy worlds, do heroic deeds, and be someone we are not. I don't think this is the case. I think we do it because the worlds that we make when playing these games make sense. Horrible things...

Here's an excerpt from an email written to a player in my game. Does anyone else have this problem with player's in their games? I've noticed a phenomenon with players in the past...I call it Module blinders. Once a player sees the module cover, they go into to "module-mode". It doesn’t...

Unfortunately yes....I owned a Dodge Aspen, for about a week. Bought it for $200, it took 30 min to get warmed up in the fall in Atlanta GA! If you tried to put it in drive before it got warmed up, the engine would die. The car horn sounded like an asthmatic (sp?) after completing a pack of...

<shrug> I'll buy it so I can play in my friend's games. I like the changes in general, but Im not very excited about it. Guess Im burned out. Its just more of the same with the words rearranged. Now AU...that's the stuff. I can't wait till that book hits the shelves.

Isn't Lupus Yonderboy a character in a William Gibson book? One of the gangers in Neuromancer? Gibson takes the cake for great names: Praisegod Satansbane Boomzilla (dammit, can't think of anymore right now)

Yeah I just read a long history of beer on the net. Pretty interesting actually. It still didnt tell me why the first person drank it though :) From what it sounds like, someone left some bread in some water for a few days and then drank it. I guess he was really thirsty or something :)

I often wondered who was the first guy to drink beer. Most alchohol is fermented, so it had to sit around for a while, but what possessed him to actually drink it??? (Seeing how my workday is slow, Im off to google to find out)

In response to the original question A new familiar type: The Chicken Special Abilities given to Wizard: Gives a +5 to AC when running away or hiding in the back of the group. Also gives a +20% when leeching xp, but only when leeching.

As opposed to the "skin flayed from the back of helpless animals?" Interestingly, thier ethos allows them to use metal raped from the earth for thier sickles, daggers, and scimitars. Weapon restrictions are anti-thetical (that right?) to the theme of 3rd ed. Options not restrictions. Boot...

Staffan: That's true, but really concentration is worthless to anyone that's not a caster, and all casters get it as a class skill. Its true that some stats are more skill-heavy than others, but really, that doesnt matter to this house rule much. It just allows you to broaden your character a...

All characters can have cross-class skills based on thier stat bonuses. These skills are called talents and can be purchased at 1 to 1 ratio just like a class skill but are still limited to your level +3 divided by 2. You can have one talent per natural bonus of a skill. i.e. A character...

Hehe...too bad the rest of the world can't see it that way Mourn.

Well at least for the items listed above...they have great uses. I had to force myself not to buy a Robe of Powerlessness. That thing is just plain broken.

I've been reading over the cursed items in the SRD and Im wondering why they are so cheap. Bestow Curse is a 3rd/4th level spell and it seems that the items should be just as expensive as the non-cursed ones. In the hands of players, they are just as useful. In some cases, even more useful...

2nd Edition Bag of Devouring...best item in the world. Disposes of corpses, evil monster eggs, evil artifacts etc. We ran into a failed lich, basically a wiz that couldnt die but couldnt use spells either. We killed him and right before he died, he said, "I'll be back" Pulled out the Bag...
