Well, not in the way you meant it, but in one of my previous playing expierences one player played a strong silent type simply because he hated another player, and refused to do anything that could lead to having to interact with the second player.

I do have a group out here that I've played with. The trick would be convincing them to give this a chance. I can DM (in fact, I usually do) and I'd be willing to do so, but there is a warning: I'm feeling incredibly whimsical at the moment, and I'm not really armed with any ideas that I'd...

Kahuna, you have a point with the 1.5x str (and we'd need to count the 2x power attack in there). But then we might need to cout that the finesse fighter can get a shield, or a second weapon. And besides, being a finesse fighter should be harder because they're so much cooler. ;) Now, the only...

First, allow me to say wow. Extremely amasing. Now, I had one quick question, how's Ortwin's player doing through all this? I'm curious, because Ortwin seems to have a minor role lately. Oh, and WOW!

Very sweet. You're going to have a couple of embarrassing stories for each person to tell about their siblings right? How about stupid nicknames?

Let me repeat myself: Against a skilled spear wielder, a person with a longsword will get fewer attacks in. The last time I tried that, it wound up with me (using the sword) getting in less than 10 swings to more than four times that amount from my dad (using the spear). While I was trying to...

Saturdays are about the only time I can reliably make it earlier than 8 pm. No idea on time durations though.

The problem with violent death as a limiter is that it has to apply evenly. And if we take the stats given to us in the first post, then that's (guestimation here) half a million deaths to make the adventuring popluation of one twenty thousand person town. And in a world that spectacularly...

Which does show us that different parts of the world would have (obviously) different technology levels, and potentially different applications. I wonder though, if magical training wouldn't happen more like the old style Chinese martial arts. You know, where traineees had to prove their...

There's another washington thread a page or so back you may want to take a look at or drop a message about.

Ok, so here's what I try to do (and wish was done when I play) before every campaign. 1. List the goals of the game. Is it about killing stuff and getting treasure? Is it about political intrigue? Is it about seeing neat new places? Is it a thin veneer of jokes about ninja? My current game's...

Part 1: The hunt begins -- So much talking! For the first time since he can remember, Shelby is wearing a suit. It was kind of ironic actually, since that was the source of a running joke with Michael, his best friend. Back when they were training, they’d occasionally take a weekend to go down...

This is where I'm supposed to say something cool, right? Ok... Does the phrase "You shall never triumph! My technique is ultimate!" send shivers down your spine? Do you enjoy action movies with two tough heroes who sort of get along, but who are united in their desire to punch evil in the face...

Sounds like my group. How expierenced are they? Are any of them naturally leaders? Do the characters have their own reasons for joining the rebels? Do the characters have their own agenda? If the answers are somewhat, no, no, no then you may want to consider doing the whole freedom within a...

Well, I WAS trying to point out that there are other elements to using a weapon equally (or more) important than speed. So I guess I wasn't being helpful unless you want to completely rewrite the combat system. And there are elements we havn't gotten into yet! So, now I'm pretending that I...

While we're at it, Anon's has HAD to have been causing trouble, right? Right? How long has he been off camera? Poor dead subplots.

You really don't want to bring back speed factors in 3rd Edition. At least, not as a solitary rule. Bringing back speed factors is essentially the first step in moving back to a blow by blow version of combat. You are (essentially) strippping away the cloud of uncertianty as to what a person...

Not that far off. Sounds like 4 out of 6 of my last group. And one of the two non anti-socialites (me) is just becoming so.

"Now that I can buy."

Daniel smiles. "No, you can't." He then breaks into laughter, obviously amused at his joke. "Anyway, every arguement I've seen between a Christian and an athiest goes 'yes it is, no it isn't' until the Christian says 'Whatever' and goes to do something else. And while I'm tempted to persue this...
