    Due respect, omokage, but would you mind reading paragraph 3 of my initial post again? . . . . . . . -- Eric

    View New Posts option?

    When not logged in, you see the option to show all posts that are new for the day. When logged in, it should be possible to see all lposts new since the last time you logged in. EDIT: Of course, failing that, it would be almost as good to have access to the option Furn_Darkside mentions...

    View New Posts option?

    It's possible this feature exists and I've missed it somewhere, or that someone has already asked about it. If so, please feel free to point me in the right direction. At least one vBulletin site that I use has a "view new posts" option at the top right corner of the welcome screen. This...

    Save or die!

    I really like the idea of changing "save or die" spells to ability drain. I may even run this by my group. My inclination would be to make it possible for "save or die" to have full effect on a good roll, and about 1/4 to 1/3 effect if save succeeds. Perhaps 2D6 + (1/2 caster level) on a...

    New to DMing

    Hmm. Do you know anything about your characters' backgrounds yet? I can't recommend strongly enough that the plot be tailored to the characters. Why is the bard reluctant to tell the PCs what the gem is for? Be cautious about raising your PCs suspicions unduly; remember that they can always...

    Player Burnout

    My last character concept seems to fit very well the feel you're looking for: an assassin, evil with all the excuses (I was an orphan, they beat me as a child, I had to steal to survive, love is just an illusion, trust is a weapon used against the gullible, etc.), who died and went to hell. A...

    So, what do *you* think a lurker is?

    Lurker: < 0.1 posts per day Hanger-on: 0.1 - 0.8 posts per day Poster: 0.8 - 5 posts per day Inner Circle: 5 - 16 posts per day Crothian: a category all his own. Oh, and I'm trying to shame you all with my unsullied on-topicness. ;) :D . . . . . . . -- Eric

    DM in trouble (acted without thinking)

    Since you still seem interested in more suggestions: Bandits or monsters raided a dwarven village. The dwarves moved in troops to guard the area, but because the area was near the border, the humans feared that they were massing forces for an invasion. The humans send a few nasty letters full...

    Is this a cruel DM?

    Since you've settled on a course of action that seems a very good start to me (asking what the DM thinks is fun for the players), why not take it a step further? Since the DM's job is already pretty hard, why not bring to the table a reasonable suggestion to remedy the current problems? . . ...

    Prestige Class for a Martyr

    Nightfall: this looks like more of a monk variant than a cleric class. I'm also not sure what it would add, in either roleplaying or mechanical terms, to a Priestess of Ilmater (Clr 8, for those who care). . . . . . . . -- Eric

    Prestige Class for a Martyr

    Jondor: For the record, yes, despite the silly (and amusing) answers, I'm 100% serious. Morgan is a worshiper of Ilmater, and has no death wish, just a belief that ideals are worth dying for and self-sacrifice is the noblest of all forms of good. Wicht: I originally planned to go cleric all...

    Prestige Class for a Martyr

    My DM has recently been hinting to me that my character's recent and future actions may bring me to the attention of powerful people, and suggesting that I should consider what prestige class I might want to join. Our game is using a house rule that prestige classes have no prerequisites apart...

    Eric Noah or any moderator this is of uppermost importance! [take 2]

    You might have better luck posting this in the Meta forum. Also, while the extra URL hit does happen on every page, so I could see where you're coming from, perhaps they implemented the counter because they wanted it there? . . . . . . . -- Eric

    SAS D20 -- A disappointed view

    I will agree with the people here who have said that brands and trademarks are very clearly about expectations and product differentiation. This is the value to the consumer of the brand. The issue does not seem to get fuzzy until you try to define exactly what that set of expectations is...

    How do you folks do it... I mean post so much!

    Winterthorn: I understand completely where you're coming from. Meeting Eric Noah at GenCon (paraphrased): Him: "So, I don't recognize your screen name. Are you a lurker?" Me : "Well, not really, I've got like 70 posts." Him: *knowing grin, slightly amused* Me : "OK, yeah, I guess I'm a...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    A quick summary of the arguments on copyright and mechanics as I understand them (yeah, IANAL): + Mechanics, as with almost anything written, are most definitely copyright protected. + That copyright means that you can't simply take the write-up of the mechanics and re-use it (barring fair use...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    A couple quick questions about licensing: + How formal does a license need to be? (Obviously, I realize that the more formal, the more likely to be defensible.) For example, if MyGameCo gives permission to PCGen to include their content, is this sufficient to provide a legal license for...
