    Is it possible...

    ...to use a buckler if you're required to use a weapon two-handed? I'm creating a ghostwise halfling barbarian who uses a two-handed weapon, and I want to give him a buckler as well. I'm just not sure if he'll be able to actually *use* the buckler. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to offer...

    Cartography: How do they do it?

    I'm no expert, but I'd venture to say the maps were mostly made using a program like Campaign Cartographer or whatever the modern variant would be. These programs are essentially CAD programs, though I doubt they possess the full extent of a program like AutoCAD. Check the WotC page...I'm sure...

    Leonid!

    Now they're predicting a big ol' rain/snow storm for my area over the 18th and 19th. As of now, it's not looking good for central PA. Evidently, some higher power doesn't want me to see the Leonids this year. (insert string of expletives here) Oh, and this link should provide all the...

    Leonid!

    I got so jazzed up for the show this year...apparently it's the last time for the next 30 or so years that the Leonids will be falling as a storm instead of a shower. However, there's supposed to be a full moon, which will block out somewhere around 70% of the shower's dimmer meteors. And for...

    Edition Love

    I respectfully dissent. The majority of gamers I've come across don't have an allegiance either way. Each 'edition' has some great aspects and some flaws. Nothing is perfect, which is why these systems are designed as a famework that allows us (the gamers) to adjust that framework to fit our...

    That one forgotten realms country...

    Lantan? The Nelanther Isles? Those are the only countries/regions I can think of that make frequent use of the pistol in FR. In the FRCS, a pistol, powderhorn and 10 bullets are listed as available regional starting equipment. Hope this helps!

    What makes a truly well-conceived PC?

    I usually go for the high stat, low stat, quirk method as well. My current character is a halfling rogue. DEX 19, WIS 6. In character, I voice him with the voice from South Park's Saddam Hussein ("Hey...come on, guy...."). He's also got a penchant for absinthe. When he drinks the stuff, he...

    Rpg's and miniatures

    I'll say "welcome" as well, even though I'm still wet behind the ears myself. :) In my current campaign, our DM has us use a miniature just for combat. He's got a battlemat and it makes things much, much easier (especially with the 3e rules for AoO and such). ~ Box

    Sorry folks...I have no idea what happened there. Won't happen again. :)

    Switching Characters

    In our current campaign, I had a ranger/sorcerer who tried to escape an entrapment situation by throwing a fallen foe into the flaming barricade the enemy has set up at the mouth of the cave in which my party and I were trapped. My intent was to smash or knock the barricade over, giving us a...

    A Character by any other name....

    I've been lurking for a while, but I simply had to respond to this thread... The group I play with has a habit of making fun of PC names. We had a female fighter named Maylar, and she was constantly called "mylar". We had a female monk named Katen who was invariably addressed as "the touch...
