    [Very OT] She said YES!

    What do you mean, "Who'd a thunk it?" What woman wouldn't want a Cold Beer of her very own? C'mon man, THINK! ;) Now, as to this whole deal of your wanting to ruin a perfectly good relationship by getting married... :p Best wishes, and hurry up and get to work on raising that Future Gamers...

    Sharing Item Creation Costs: Good or Bad?

    I've sort of had this rule in effect, but I'd thought I had read it in 3E somewhere before, I believe listed as a potential optional rule. I never got a chance to use it as nobody in the group ever made anyone else an item, so I can't say how balanced it is :( In my version I told players...

    B5: The Long, Dark Night Of Achilles

    Must add my Ditto! to this remark, hit the stem bolt (self-sealing of course) right on the head! Hatchling Dragon

    Looking for a different kind of Summoner.

    That explains why I can't stop running "Gotta cast 'm all, gotta cast 'm all..." through my head. This is going to be with me till I get to sleep, you evil bastage! :p Hatchling Dragon

    Professions on a sea-faring vessel

    Wouldn't it be a good idea to have a "Ship's Wizard" (or Priest) on board, considering how many types of hostile Magic there are in/on/under those mythical Oceans? This would probably be the person that doubled as the "Naturalist", as everyone knows that Wizards and/or Priests are highly...

    Help me plug a plot-hole!

    First thing that comes to mind, even if it's not a Corporation, is the United Nations. You might even say that only the UN was chartered to explore the mysterious Island exclusively, since nobody could trust any one country doing it. This would allow you to have any sort of nationality and/or...

    [HERO] Hero Designer

    I'll appologise if this offends anyone, but I also realise that the Software board gets a meagre showing compared to the General, so here goes. I just started a thread here about the HERO system's relatively recent release of Hero Designer, a program for creating characters for the HERO system...

    [Hero System] Hero Designer, anyone tried it?

    I was poking around Talon Comic's site, checking on pricing for a copy of FReD (5th Ed HERO) when I noticed that they've released some character design software. I remember using the old DOS based Champions creator software that came on a 3.5" floppy disk inside the back cover of the old (3rd...

    [Traveller d20] The Traveller Adventure:Memoirs from the Crew (updated 1/12!)

    User CP not working?

    I was wondering that very same thing, then I found the button by pure chance. It appears that you mearly have to go to another thread and then to back to the main messageboard page. It should be in it's rightful place at that point. Hatchling Dragon

    Gameisms...

    "To pull a Bill" - Describes any action (usualy by a PC) that makes everyone else thing "Why in heck did (s)he do that?" This term came about in a Champions game many years ago. I wasn't there, but here's how I heard it happened. Bill played a 'gadgeteer', or character who derived all his...

    [tactics] You're the aboleth - what do you do?

    The amount of time I had, and/or how much the PC's have seen of the room, would determine what Illusions, if any, I'd use. If they were seen/heard coming down a hallway (they are using light in a dark dungeon, right?) it could be something as simple and passive as making it appear as if the...

    Planetside: Anyone else playing?

    I have all four of my slots filled on Emerald, they include: Reaver / Engineer: He flies his 'attack plane' around blasting whatever needs holes, and then lands and repairs (engineer skill) and reloads missles in quiet spots/moments. Galaxy/ Combat Engineer: Flys the big transport around...

    Planetside: Anyone else playing?

    I just broke-down and bought Planetside last weekend (about 5/23/03) and have been playing it pretty heavily since. I've started wondering if there are others out there that are playing, and if so where/when they log in. I'd love to get together with fellow ENWorlders for some structured...

    The druid is not fighting!!! LONG!

    While I've read everyone else's take on this Druid's reasoning for avoiding combat, I'm still not sure what his real motivation is. Is he a coward, is it a matter of his Player thinking the Druid just can't hack it (sorry, couldn't resist :p) in melee? If it's the latter, there are always ways...

    DnD on TV

    Nuts, here I thought this thread was about the long-ago mentioned "DnD TV Series", mabye an update on if it's still going to make an appearance, and when this might be. I'm still edgy about that show, torn between wanting to see DnD on TV (Hey, it's gotta be better 'n Zena, right? :p) and...

    The worst Roleplaying game ever!!!

    Odd, I remember Space Opera rather fondly. I bought every suppliment for it I could find. Then again I did tend to 'wing it' for the "to hit" type modifiers. Of course I admit that this fondness could simply be the filtering of many many years between now and when I last played it. Hatchling...

    Help with cleric creation?

    I'd suggest having at least one each of those spells you mentioned. Just because you intend to be prepared, thus knowing what spells you're likely to need/want, doesn't mean you're going to know ahead of time that you'll want/need them. Being caught unawares, and then drained of a couple...

    [OT]Please read Dork Tower today.

    Just a thought, but have you checked into Minnesota as a possible place of employment? I heard, a while back (ie: couple+ years) that we were a booming "IT Mecca", or some such non-sense. With experience behind you you might find something you like, or at least are willing to do. ;) And the...

    As a DM, how do you handle movement on a square grid?

    Yup, what he said. Works fast 'n easy, no point in boggin the game down in needless detail. It's not like it's been unbalancing in any game I've participated in. Hatchling Dragon
