    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Hooray! I was getting pretty sad there, when I had to continually bump this up from page 3 and 4. Talinthas, don't feel railroaded into running this module- if you don't feel as if you have time to prepare for it (college > D&D, unfortunately), feel free to shrug it off.

    Why is there a Bodak?

    However, unlike the bodak, the devourer can only kill one person at a time, and even then, the trapped soul is rescue-able for a number of rounds. I like the idea of massive Con damage instead, but I also like the idea of an army of Bodaks, deadly foes with eyes of death, spreading across the...

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Any thoughts on the new possible schedule, folks? Or should we stick with the linear "two games in the morning, one game in the evening" schedule?

    1e/3e Epiphany

    I think another similarity between 2e and 3.5 will be the wide-spread use of House Rules. I found that in Third Edition, house rules were used but changed very small rules, or were argued considerably. I think, in 3.5, the use of House Rules will be more... accepted as a norm.

    Resistance is futile... you will upgrade to 3.5!

    I discussed it with my group for a while, and we figured something out: We just like Third Edition. So we're sticking with it. We've taken a while to learn the rules, and we'll be importing some house rules from 3.5, but... we're very happy with Third Edition.

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Well, how about this for a schedule if we can't find another DM: 11:30- Graveyard Shift (HackJoe, Hackmaster levels 1-3) 2:30- The Whispering Woodwind (Tsunami, D&D level 2) 5:30- The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth (OAD&D, characters and PHBs provided) And between and after games, people who are...

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Well, I think this has sunken far enough. Folks, we've almost got this whole game day in the bag- we just need one more DM for a D&D game... Reapersaurus, would you possibly be able to instead DM a game? Maybe the Gladiator Game from Dungeon a few months ago, to keep with your original theme...

    First Well RPed Character?

    Mine had to be Splurk, a half-orc barbarian/cleric. I first created him for a pretty bad reason- I was going to play under a DM who I didn't really like, so I wanted to biggest combat-heavy character I could make. He had 20 strength and 6 intelligence, and I was planning on playing him as a...

    [3.5] Power Attack - can this possibly be right?

    While I can see monster Hit Points and Character Damage being balanced against each other, I don't know if NPC Hit Points and Character Damage are... I mean, sure, the Balor can take a few hits and deliver a bunch too, but I'm not sure if my recurring human fighter villain will be able to.

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    I'll make the changes to the original schedule and put "DM Needed" in the title again. :)

    The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep are now COMPLETED

    Hey, she didn't mention Vek... or Dartan... or Broldek! ...yup... this is what I'm left to posting when there's no more updates to look forward to...

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    So... yup... Talinthas, we're probably going to need that "yes" or "no" pretty soon so we can get on with things... Tell your friend that he still has a month to work on it, we just need a confirmation.

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Well, we've got three DMs/GMs so far, one for D&D (that would be me), one for Hackmaster (HackJoe), and one for OAD&D (Bloodymage). Talinthas has a friend who might be DM'ing another D&D game, but it's still basically up in the air. We'll most likely be having four games, two in the morning...

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Hello Ben! Welcome to the boards! By the way, we're just waiting for all the DM positions to be filled, so Talinthas, just tell us when Dimitri gives the final word!

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Thanks for volunteering, Bloodymage! That sounds like a fun module. And because we're going to have two main sections of games, we'll all be able to DM and play. Hooray! By the way, I got an e-mail today from a dude named Ben about this game day. I informed him and gave him a link to this...

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    I'm going to delay sign-ups 'til we have more information on DM's.

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Hm... should we delay sign-ups then, or just have sign-ups for what we have DM's for?

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    What I mean is: Is Dimitri willing to DM?

    Northern California Game Day (Any DMs out there?)

    Sign-ups start tomorrow. Talinthas, any word on Dimitri? Y'know, I have an NPC in my campaign by the same name...

    Does everything about gaming HAVE to be fun?

    Personally, I try to make fun of any situation, game or not. But I know of people who just don't have fun when rules aren't going their way.
