    Pumping UMD?

    I'm running a rogue who's been maxing out his UMD skill for some time now. The character is currently L13, and my guess is based on the way things have been going he'll be L18 or L19 when we hit the big baddie for the campaign. Any WotC splatbook is acceptable as a source... The trick is, I'd...

    How can I get divine grace as a cleric?

    There's a prestige class called "Hunter of the Dead" in Complete Warrior that is targeted at taking out the undead. Requires BAB +5, Knowledge (Religion) 5, and you have to have suffered level drain or ability damage at the hands of the undead in order to qualify. You get an alternate spell...

    Show me your clerics!

    Cleric with domains of Knowledge and Madness. Better if you can go Cloistered. Take five levels, then go Alienist. Not necessarily uber-powerful, but LOTS of flavor...

    Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil Run Time?

    One suggestion for livening up the CRM that I saw was to rip out the CRM entirely and instead rewrite the clues so that they point to the Banewarrens instead.

    Good inexpensive microphone for recording your group?

    I'm going to be the DM, and I have a memory like a leaky sieve that's been used for 8-gauge shotgun ballistics testing. While I don't think I'll ever listen to the whole thing, having it for reference would be handy, and if somebody does say something memorable, I'll have a quotes file. :)

    Good inexpensive microphone for recording your group?

    Five people around a table with a battlemat. Guess I've gotta go looking for an omnidirectional mike. I used to work at a place where there was a biweekly meeting that was recorded - the person had an Olympus DVR-3000 and a microphone, and picked up all 20 or so people in the room with a high...

    Good inexpensive microphone for recording your group?

    I'd like to do audio logs of my gaming group, but I need a microphone that can get everybody's voices. It can either be a separate solution, like one of the Olympus digital voice recorders, or something that could plug directly into the audio in jack on a laptop. Any suggestions?

    Getting some minis - where do you get yours?

    I'm starting up a campaign here pretty soon, first one I've ever run. I'd like to get my hands on some miniatures, but there are several issues: 1. I know WotC has some kind of "collectible" miniatures set thing going on, but that you get random draws. I'm looking for specific types of minis...

    D&D 4th Edition

    Arise, o thread, from the moldy hollows from which you came! Arise! Now begone back to hallowed antiquity, and leave the realm of the living!

    Live sucks and then...

    Figured I might help you put some of this in perspective. This year I have... 1. Dated and got dumped by possibly the most wonderful woman I have ever known, because she wasn't ready to start dating. 2. Went on a two week vacation. When I got there, I got sick. When I got better, and was...

    Live sucks and then...

    My favorite variant was: "Life's tough, then you die, then the worms eat you. Be glad it happens in that order!" It's from a book about 2+ meter long man-eating worms...

    Help Wanted with ideas for Chapter 3 (levels 9-14) of my campaign

    Having come here to suggest "ashes to ashes, dust to dust"... I gotta say the "ashes, ashes, all fall down" line just takes the cake. Use it, then report back here how many bits of popcorn you got pelted with. :D

    What ECL penalty should I give for a gestalt character?

    With Gestalt, you generally focus on making one class effective, and then use the benefits of the other class to compliment it. For example, Paladin/Sorceror works best (IMO) if you focus on the Sorceror angle and pump your CHA like crazy - but you still get decent BAB, and some really nice 'n...

    What ECL penalty should I give for a gestalt character?

    I've considered allowing gestalt in a campaign before as an option, with a +2 LA by default, but with prior DM approval. Especially munchy gestalt builds (Sorc/Paladin, Druid/Monk or Druid/Fighter for instance) got an additional +1 LA on top.

    Hello Vader

    I've seen that before, don't remember where. It's a photochop - I *think* the original was an all-white vader suit.

    The most disturbing thing youve seen/experienced

    I was a witness to this accident: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/284037_bus06ww.html Ignore the comment about a pre-accident scuffle, it's just attention seekers making up stuff for the press. I saw the whole thing from before the accident (noticed the bicyclist wobbling, saw her get...

    3.5 vs Rolemaster

    Although I think this was from the MERP puncture critical tables, I think "All earwax removed" was my favorite.
