    hi guys!, question about puzzle encounters

    Excellent advice. I would add that you should always make puzzles simple and straightforward. For riddles, use common things such as light, shadow, gold, war, etc. as the answers. For puzzles, use common themes that are well understood, such as the months of the year or time. And always try to...

    What's your favorite D&D character sheet?

    I've always been partial to Mad Irishman's sheets: http://www.mad-irishman.net/ (Even if he is a UNC student :]) NCSUCodeMonkey

    Should companies bother with RPGs?

    Ich, yeah. It was 2nd edition AD&D. I wasn't a big book buyer then (having all the mighty purchasing power of a 14 year old), and I was always frustrated when half-way through a product it would reference a monster, spell, etc. in another book. In order to fully utilize product A, you'd need...

    Boston, MA Gamers Lunch

    It's on my Outlook calendar; that makes it all "official"....and stuff. That, and I can't remember to do anything unless something pops up in a blinking window on my desktop :). NCSUCodeMonkey

    I guess I'm a REAL RBDM now - First TPK

    That, in my opinion, is the best part of your story. I plan encounters on a fairly regular basis that I know could potentially kill one or more PCs, which has tended to shift my groups towards munchkin land. I'm glad to see that not every group has that syndrome. Oh, and Rel, I love the hair ;)...

    Boston, MA Gamers Lunch

    Yay! Yeah, I'd be up for that. I can chip in gas/food money for whoever swings by to pick me up. I'm also in a group with a co-worker, I'll see if he has any interest, since he has a car. NCSUCodeMonkey

    Boston, MA Gamers Lunch

    I'm going by the mbta trip planner...I have (almost) no clue where anything is in this city :). Still getting my bearings. I could've put in the wrong times or somesuch. I'll check again. NCSUCodeMonkey

    Boston, MA Gamers Lunch

    I'd be interested, but I don't think I could make that. I take the T to work (Kendall/MIT stop), and it looks like that'd be a bit of a stretch for a lunch break (40 minutes both ways). NCSUCodeMonkey

    Guess What?! NC Game Day VIII is September 10th!

    Hey gang! Just thought I'd pop in and let you know that all the Talley registrations and semantics have been offically handed over to FryeHowl. So you should be all set for the rest of the gamedays this school year. Have fun, and remember, if you ever want to attend a Boston gameday, you can...

    Maverick, You probably would've seen my earlier request eventually, but it'll save dispute down the road: could you toss me in Piratecat's morning warhammer game? Thanks! NCSUCodeMonkey

    It's quite easy really, you just take in a deep breath and have fun! That, and pretty much everything in the game is so goofy that you can't help but act childish ;). NCSUCodeMonkey

    Central Mass. Gameday, Saturday, October 22nd, Success

    My, my did this thread ever explode since I was here last :). First, I'd like to be in Piratecat's morning Warhammer game. I've heard rave reviews of the setting and I want to see what all the fuss is about! Second, a few quick notes about Underoo Avengers: * All players and ages are...

    Working With Cardboard

    Varianor, you may want to PM Rel about this project. He has built several airships for his Sky Galleons of Mars series at NC Game Day and may be able to give you some good tips. Here is one of his early models: http://ncgameday.dhorizon.org/community/gallery/relNCGD6/106_0668. I'm not sure how...

    Central Mass. Gameday, Saturday, October 22nd, Success

    Yeah, that's a pretty apt description. This adventure in particular has frickin' lasers :D. Better make it the afternoon slot so that I can get lost six times on the way to the game day. Being new to town has its definate disadvantages. NCSUCodeMonkey

    Character maintenance

    Oddly enough, even though I enjoy using computers for almost everything else, I like a good old fashioned character sheet, pencil smudges and all. I'm a fan of the sheets on mad-irishman.net (also humorus since he's a UNC fan :mad: ), which I usually print out on a nice weight of cardstock. It...

    Elfs

    Just to throw more fuel on the fire :) According to www.googleduel.com, Elves is more popular than Elfs (282,000 vs 27,300), with Elves being more "proper" and "magical," while Elfs are more "pansy." The full report is here, although that may not work if you're not coming from my IP. Sorry, I...

    "Swords are no more use here"

    I've observed that buffs can cause what you're observing. If the main spellcasters spend slots buffing up the party then they have used resources to increase the power of the fighters. Then the fighter types will be above EL while the casters tend to be slightly below. It's then a much bigger...
