    Need some help!

    Is this still on? If something more pressing has come up I can still do it over the weekend, it may just be slightly more sporadic, or can dedicate a block of time again next week. Just let me know the plan. [What are we going to do today Brain? The same thing we do every day Pinky, plan to...

    Auto-acronyming - new feature? (merged)

    Honestly, I felt that way initially as well, but then noticed that we had already started down the "slippery slope" with WotBS (acceptable exception since it is an ENW product) and KotS. The latter being a single product and not even a grouping of several products (like WotBS, AoW, RotRL, etc.)...

    That is fine with me, I will take Paizo if that is OK.

    Possibly dumb poll: Playing vs. Running D&D Editions

    I would play anything but 2E, skipped it the first time and see no reason to go back. I would run AD&D or 3E, again since that is what I have already done.

    What's "Username HERO 2nd level"?

    Ditto to the above comments. It is a goofy little title that really means nothing, and now if it REALLY does bother you then turn it off. It's just for fun, and no one is going to die if they are labeled a 4E monster title. Again, if it REALLY irks you just turn it off. BTW: I say this...

    What's "Username HERO 2nd level"?

    Morrus, you speak Texan! :D I like the monster names myself, and don't even care that they are 4E.

    Downsizing

    In 2000 I started a new group with 4 players, by 2002 we hit 16 players and I had a co-DM. It was fun, but it was very intense also. Several real life issues whittled it back down to 6 consistent players and 2 most-of-the-time players which ran just fine through the end of 2004. From that I...

    What's "Username HERO 2nd level"?

    I'm curious what Warlock did to loose a point (since we all seem to start at 10?). :-S Even though it is XP, can it go negative? :devil:

    D&D 4E Greyhawk 4e: Back to the Beginning...

    Would I get this if it comes to pass? I can give it a definite MAYBE. First I would have to decide to move to 4E, which will probably only happen with a new setting... and there is the rub. Points of Light does not work for me. Spellplagued Forgotten Realms does not work for me. Eberron...

    Do you use a DM screen?

    I use a screen for my immediate working area in front of me which may have notes, maps, minis about to be encountered, and dice for the moment. I then have a box turned sideways off to the side for additional items and as my usual dice rolling area.

    When starting a new Campaign

    A few things I have used: > All the party are potential graduates from an academy that taught them their craft, but they have team excercise to complete to actually achieve graduate status. They set out and complete the exercise and return to find the academy totally destroyed and all there...

    Auto-acronyming - new feature? (merged)

    I would also like to see often used adventure names added to the list. What defines often used? Well, that is for the admins to decide (above my paygrade!) Some suggestions though: AoW CotCT RotRL While many of us know these on site, it is difficult to ever "get them" for the first time...

    Let's pronounce "Genasi"

    My first impulse (Native Texan speak) is to say "guh-Nah-see". blargney's previous Canadian pronunciation being eerily similar, I could default to that as well. However, I too defer to the mouse and agree that seems a more appropriate pronunciation as well.

    All Elves

    I played in an all elven group a few years back and it went very well. Our only issue was a lack of a definitive tank PC in our group, but that could happen in any group as well.

    More FREE PDFs from RPG Host!

    That seems overly harsh if you truly were interested in the site and did not care for the free stuff. I was 50/50 on interest in the site and the free stuff so I went and registered. When it said I would have to hunt for the links I simply decided not to bother with the free stuff after all...

    The Weekly One Million

    I voted for the mega thread, but individuals are good also. I subscribe to them, so subscribing to 1 and having you add stuff means I never miss anything. But having several individual ones is not bad either, I just have to catch each one and subscribe to it separately.

    Creating an Escher-like room

    I have done something like this many years ago in AD&D, and yes it is very tricky to pull off. That is one of the reasons I have often thought of but never tried it again. I (for better or worse) used DM prerogative to just make it work with little explanation behind it. My room was at the...

    BINGO! You just rolled a 20 on "find the weird forum setting" check. Meta subscribed and showed up just fine. [I did try the unsubscribe / resubscribe thing as well, no change] So I guess my next question is, are social group forums unable to be subscribed? [Dallas Fort Worth gamers forum in...

    Not sounding dismissive at all, I am not (quite) perfect and do (occasionally) miss things. :angel: Yes it asked me to confirm / select email notification for it, and the "forum tools" drop down menu now says "unsubscribe forum" in that particular forum. I am totally baffled and will just...
