    Why do we need Fumbles?

    Noone here does fumbles by DM fiat? I do. Sometimes a 1 is just a 1. But when I think it would be fun or exciting for a character to do something wrong entirely, I'll put my thinking cap on and think of a suitable and amusing result. Rav

    4-Dimensional Objects

    ... Forgive me for drooling on the carpet. It's hard for me to keep my mouth closed (I feel like I am missing a chromosome). Rav

    Level of newly introduced PC

    Do you know how the player feels? Does he even know you are contemplating a more lenient stance towards your rule? If not, he might not even have given it a second thought, and is simply already accepting the fact that he'll be at level 6. That said, I do think your rule is pretty harsh in one...

    Where would you place Freeport in GH?

    I think I can bluff my players into saying that I said "scarlet sign" this session, instead of "yellow sign" ;) Cool, thanks. Rav

    Where would you place Freeport in GH?

    Since I want to do the trilogy at least, and perhaps play up the role of the series' antagonists, that does seem like it would fit better than the Wild Coast. Still, if anyone else has any suggestions, I'm eager to hear them. Rav

    There could be a pearl of power in the equasion somewhere (I'm sorry, I just like to be contrary and difficult :) ) Rav

    Where would you place Freeport in GH?

    The question I would like to ask you is quite simple. Where would you place Freeport in GH? I am basically a GH newbie, I only have the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer. Rav

    D+D in your language (new words, post #23)

    A few I'd like to add: Gnome: kabouter Orc: Ork (recent though - I think before it would be translated as Aardmannetje) Goblin: Aardmannetje (everyone just uses goblin). Ogre: No unambigious translation available - probably Trol Troll: Trol Giant: Reus Elf: Elf Faerie: Elfje (or Elf) Dutch has...

    D+D in your language (new words, post #23)

    I think "Fighter/Vechter" is better translated as "Krijger". Rogue can be translated as "Schelm" (although the usual translation is "schurk"). Note to foreigners: all "g" and "ch" sounds are like the hebrew hard G (which can also be found in other semitic languages). Rav

    Using Purchased Adventures: How much work do you do?

    I think almost no DM can run a module on the fly though. You really must read it through at least once. Otherwise, I agree. Rav

    Do you game in Greyhawk?

    I do, but I not so much costomize it but ignore pretty much all of it but geography and deities. Rav

    Order of the Stick #155

    Because of time contraction, I find it hard to get the feel of tedium across. I can give a description of how boring it was, but that will last, what 30 seconds? Rav

    Help me kill Darmanicus & Friends!

    Oh, and mistyping 'Githzerai' as 'Githyanki' is like mistyping 'deva' as 'devil'. This will, net them some bad advice in the other thread. Not that I am going to tell them of course. :] Rav

    Help me kill Darmanicus & Friends!

    What seldom happens in a D&D combat is a good feint (and I don't mean the "using the Bluff skill" kind). It requires a lot of decent enough acting, but perhaps you could make it seem like the alliance between the slaad and the Gith is failing. Then actually have the Slaad and Gith turn on...

    Who is from or based in Continental Europe?

    Hey, you can walk to Paris, Rome and Berlin could you not? So what that swimming is faster! :) The way I see it, the phrase "continental Europe" is something those crazy Brits invented to say when Heathrow got fogged up :) Rav

    Help Us Kill Morrus - Just updated 23/03/05

    I said "go straight for the queen". That's about as "charge" as it comes :) Realistically though, is this the lich queen? Or is it just any old female githyanki lich? Last I heard, there's thirteen to the dozen of 'em :p (you are soooo screwed ;) ) Rav

    New class preference--Am I alone on this?

    I'd rather see the Paladin etc. as prestige classes (if at all). So no. But then, I basically want 4 core classes, lots of feats, and then let players pick their special abilities through those. Rav

    Help Us Kill Morrus - Just updated 23/03/05

    You've come a long way since I last joined for that single session. I'd probably go straight for the queen. Use a heal on her even, seeing as she's an undead *****. Liches don't have con modifiers, so even their d12 hd is going to be hurt by a heal... too bad you only have one though. She's...
