It's all about the benjamins. If WotC puts out "v3.5" or whatever, and stops printing prior versions, new players will have to use the new rules. Those rules essentially "require" the use of minis/battlemats, so new players will have to go buy said items. Two words: Profit. Margin. I don't...

Another potential avenue... What if it's all a result of the latest installment of the "good natured magical experiments gone horribly wrong" from the Harpells in Longsaddle? They've always got the best of intentions, but they're all also slightly insane (to varying degrees, of course). Maybe...

Thank you, good Cedric, thank you! If only they weren't out of stock...hrm... ~Box

A friend of mine has the most kick-arse GM screen I've ever seen. It's tri-fold, black, and has clear plastic pockets on either side of each panel such that you can insert a standard letter-sized sheet of paper into each pocket. He also said that he purchased it from a website he found in a...

I drive two hours one-way to play in my group's once-a-month game. Does that answer your question? :D Seriously though, my group is composed of some truly great people, and some truly great friends. Heck, my sister's even part of the gaming group. Sure, we screw off. Sure, we get...

I'd play him as a follower. He's got a great wisdom score and an above average charisma score. To me, this means he's got a strong will, a good set of "gut instincts" and is generally pleasant to be around. However, he might have a more childlike reaction to things like a rogue disarming...

Our previous DM uses the Cheseex double-sider you're talking about. I will purchase the same, as I'll be taking over the game. And we've found that baby wipes, of all things, work wonderfully for the 'wet-erase' aspect of the mats. ~Box

Oddly enough, I posted a thread not so dissimilar from your own a few months ago. I asked pretty much the same question and got some wonderful advice, pointers, and tales of experience from the community here. Go here to see what wisdom was offered to me. Hope this helps you as much as it did...

1) The only checks I write are for rent and utilities. Seems plain silly to hand the pizza delivery person a check for an $8 pie. Though I would agree that check-writing is quite an epidemic here in the States... 2) I always tip, and well. I've been a bartender for several years now. I've...

I'm playing a halfling barbarian in a campaign, and it's been a blast. Definitely sink your highest stat into strength. Definitely take a two-handed weapon. Use the rage you've been given. It's the perfect character for a "shoot first, ask later" mentality. :) ~Box.

I could not have said it better. You have my heartfelt condolences...:(

I view dreams more as "visions". I also view them as a way men (and women) of the cloth could receive information on whatever holy quest they may be on. Dreams could mean a wizard is alone on watch one night and goes into an almost hypnotic daze while staring at the fire. He's awakened by...

Okay, I wasn't sure if this post would be better suited for some other forum like Rules, so any mods with better judgment please shift me to the appropriate forum. On that note... I'm looking into running the "Heart of Nightfang Spire" module. I've got the module in hand, and I know it's...

Jeez...fast, friendly, free and quality service. You guys are amazing. :) ~Box

I'm interested to hear any ideas the community might have on artificially aging parchment paper. I plan on using parchment-style paper for some old maps, letters and scrolls in my upcoming campaign. But some of these items (in particular, the maps) have been sitting in a dungeon for ages. I'm...

A black hole ejecting jets of gas, plasma, particle energy, and whatever else it is that black holes could possibly "eject" :). ~Box

Well, if you put it that way...:) I do know a lot of people who find it difficult. I guess I'm just lucky in that it seems to come easy for me. Plus, I don't do a whole lot of fill work. The other guitarist usually does that, but I'm slowly taking over the solo work. But since I'm not a...

I play guitar and sing in my band up at school. I've heard scads of people say over the years that it's soooooo hard to play and sing at the same time. I find it rather easy. The people I respect are the Dave Mustaines, James Hetfields and others like them who can play complex scalar rhythms...

I was enjoying the white Christmas, until we lost power at noon and our locals decided they didn't want to plow the roads. Ever tried to drive a rear-wheel drive sports car through 12+ inches of snow? Not my idea of Happy Christmas...not by a long shot. For the first time in my life, I had to...

Well, it depends on how you define "good". Right now, LN seems the way to go. It accounts for the rigidity in their society, but allows the "moral flexibility" needed for prejudice and hatred. But you could make an argument for "good". A character of "good" alignment doesn't have to be...
