Wait a minute... Jack’s alignment doesn’t really matter; his character has simply run out of sanity points. ;)

A few years ago, I pretty much only gamed with those I considered “friends.” Getting married changed all that. Games are farther and fewer between these days. Occasionally, some new faces will show up at the table (as the players branch out and find other gamers at work, or get new...

Star Wars: The party of rebel PCs were sneaking around the massive hanger of an imperial supply station on a mission of sabotage. After the ground shakes for several turns, suddenly, an AT-AT (one of those giant assault vehicles that walks on four legs) thunders into view on its way into the...

I don’t have an answer for you, but I just though I’d point out that this example may be a little problematic- Infiltration is itself a form of deception, and deception isn’t generally considered a “good” thing, as it is a perversion of honesty. I'm not trying to say that infiltration is...

I’m having difficulty finding the level caps for demi-human characters. Obviously, it has to be in there somewhere... I mean, how much sense would it make for an elf to be able to reach any level a human could?

Jack Bauer exists beyond the ridiculous confines of a painfully artificial “alignment” system. Actually, Jack Bauer is a good example of why everyone should abandon such systems altogether.

Continues lurking on this thread with no real interest in the topic(s) at hand. Sadistically waits for things turn really ugly, hopefully enough so to result in several bannings.

“Wait a minute... Soylent green is... GREEN!!!” Or sometimes: “Wait a minute... Soylent green is... CHARLTON HESTON!!!” I started yelling this out in a particularly confusing Call Of Cthulhu adventure. It kind of carried over into other games and became a group catch-phrase whenever...

The only time I ever use gnomes in my games are in “silly” campaigns. It’s not that I “hate” gnomes or anything... It’s just that I can’t seem to take them seriously. Part of my problem is that I’ve got no sense of what an archetypical gnome is supposed to “be” exactly. The depictions of...

That’s just... So very, very beautiful.

I have fond memories of playing this game when I was very young. I remember rolling up a mutant rhinoceros, and then feeling compelled to try everything in my power to play him differently from that rhinoceros-guy (forgot his name) that was already in the cartoon/comics. Also in that group...

Actually, Dante Alighieri invented D&D. Remember that whole Divine Comedy thing? Yeah, that was just one of his play sessions he got around to scribbling down. I hear that after he gave up DMing, the game kind of floundered for a number of years until Geoffrey Chaucer took over. That guy...

I wouldn’t call this a “bad” puzzle- (The XX:XX format used to tell time is quite similar to the XX:XX format used to track biblical verses, so that would have been my fist area to investigate.) I would call this a “decent” puzzle really, really, really, poorly executed. Placing any kind of...

Strengths: -Faster. Smoother. More cinematic. More freedom of what type of character you want to play. Rules are more consistant with one another, eliminating the “clunk” factor. Much less of that “wargamey/video-gamey feel.” -Easy to port just about anything from any other D20 product...

Powergaming is for pansies. We hardcore Xtreme gamers prefer Gimpgaming. There’s no bigger thrill than helplessly rolling down that hill towards the orcish hordes, because your CON score is too low for you to stand upright on both legs, while screaming “E-X-T-R-E-M-E!!!” all the way down...

I think that “accountant” should be a template. Obviously, such a template would have to raise the effective CR of those infected by at least 30 levels.

I thought it was already well established that 4E will be released this summer... As a Nerf game. So why do people still bring it up?

Once every blue moon, I’ll have a player randomly want something between adventures really badly, like some specific magic item. As long as such a request wouldn’t interfere with the plot, and everyone else was cool with it, (and the player can explain in-game how they came to suddenly possess...

Actually, the thread I miss the most is this one: http://www.enworld.org/archive/index.php/t-148724.html

Man, this was wide open for a political joke of some sort, but it looks like I made my Will save at the last second. ;) But seriously, I gotta go with anything from the Lovecraftian mythos, if that counts.
