    [OT] Audio Receiver Help

    Harman/Kardon makes some really great stuff as well. I recently purchased the H/K AVR320 model, and I'm loving every minute of it. As noted above, I really doubt you'll find a receiver with all the features you've listed for less than $500. When it comes to this stuff, you usually can't have...

    Potential game balance issue...help!

    updating... Thanks for the input so far, everyone. Yes, this is a good-aligned campaign: they've been sent by a church to stop a cleric-gone-insane from starting a ritual that would turn him into a lich courtesy of Cyric. We've got a fighter, a paladin, a cleric, a wizard and a rogue. The...

    Potential game balance issue...help!

    Not so sure this belongs in "Rules", but I didn't know where else to put it. Potential players (Palantir!!!) need look no further... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I'm trying to develop a cool little ending for the players in an adventure I might be running.

    Insanity impacting which ability score?

    So how would you work this if the character gone insane is a cleric with a wisdom of 20? ~Box

    Insanity impacting which ability score?

    If a character goes completely insane (abandons his faith in a neutral god for the chance to become a powerful lich), would his intelligence or his wisdom score be affected? Or would the insanity affect both? Any opinions, or even official "rules" on this? ~Box

    [Extremely OT]: Engagement Rings

    You're exactly right. We are one of the very few species whose offspring are born long before they're remotely capable of independence. I'm looking more at the biological goings-on. Specifically, how the issue of refractory period plays into this whole mess. There are some theories floating...

    [Extremely OT]: Engagement Rings

    Not that it deserves justification... ...but I actually have a great girlfriend. I've just been burned too many times in the past by clinically insane women, and I've had too many friends burned by the same thing. That and humans really aren't designed for marriage. Look at the divorce...

    Gamers in State College, PA???

    Thanks Ghostmoon, but I've already been to the GAPS site with no response. You are correct in guessing that it's for the main campus, though. That's mainly why I'm on here hoping some other local kid got fed up with the dead silence from GAPS. *sigh* ~Box

    Help! My creative juices have frozen!

    crazed halflings I'm acutally playing a Ghostwise halfling barbarian in a campaign right now. It's a blast! My halfling barb is the resident tank of the group. 60 hp, a 16 STR and a battle axe with a +11 modifier. Lemme tell ya, watching that halfling rage is a scary sight. I'd definitely...

    help developing a plot

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that none of the potential gamers in my group are looking at this.... If anyone could help me develop this plot, I'd be most appreciative. The party rests in an inn overnight, and when the wake the next morning. A note has been delivered...

    When Paladins Go Terribly Wrong

    Holy crazed over-reaction, Batman! So I'm assuming the player had taken a neutral race and thrown it into a LG character class. And he claims his character wouldn't know that killing those gypsies was wrong b/c he wasn't from the surface? Yet he was a paladin?? Heck, that justification has...

    Need Help with Cost of Magic Ring

    Well, ultimately YOU are in charge. If you're worried that the ring might unbalance the game, let the player know. There's always a compromise. From the list of features the player wishes to incorporate into the ring, it sounds to me like he/she is obviously trying to tilt the game to...

    [Extremely OT]: Engagement Rings

    Well, since homo sapiens are neither biologically nor psychologically designed to spend their existence with a "life partner", IMHO the whole idea of engagement and marriage is just obsurd. Seems to me it's just another societal convention instituted to keep us lined up in an orderly fashion...

    Advice for a virgin DM?

    Wow...thanks to everyone who's posted so far. I've got a wealth of knowledge here, and I'm picking up some key points and major themes. I would, however, like to address two of those points. Many of you have mentioned (to paraphrase) "shooting the rules lawyer". There is a rules lawyer in...

    Advice for a virgin DM?

    I'm currently in a 3e FR campaign with several very experienced players and a very experienced DM. The DM has expressed disinterest and discontent with the campaign, as have some of the players, all for varying reasons. One option is for someone else to take over the campaign, and the DM to...

    'Origin' of Your User Name

    Mine is almost completely random. "box" is a nickname I picked up in college (for a variety of reasons), "7" is my favorite number. the name itself means absolutely nothing and has no significance. I try not to put too much thought into mundane matters such as these, what with the apocalypse...
