That's cool, Uni! And since I can't post without swearing: That's damn cool, Uni! Proud of you, happy for you. You and Queen D need to paint the town red. :) Congrats, D

Cutman, I'd sorta turned this thread off in my mind because it's spiraled into gripe/counter-gripe. But I know you, have gamed with you, and respect your opinion...so your words shook me out of my self-induced lethargy. Plus, you're sorta good looking.* Anyway, I hear you. I would contend...

Well, they (ghouls) go beyond stats. An Int 13 ghoul and an Int 13 necromancer just aren't the same IMC. A ghoul wants to eat flesh, rend its enemies, and generally let the world know their none to pleased with being damned to an eternity of undeath. A necromancer would want to get out of...

This thread brought to light two things I wish I would have done: 1) Made it more apparent to the other PCs that Mr. Ghoul intended to go for a CDG on his next turn. This is excellent advice, and I blew it. 2) Just Rule 0'd the fact that though the RAW allow CDG against helpless opponents...

Agreed 100%. I just didn't know to word it that well. That's what I attempt to do in a nutshell. 1. This was the final battle near the rear of the crypt. There was no where for the ghoulies to run. The could have tried to overrun the PCs and flee toward the crypt's entrance, but they...

The "turning a PC into an undead creature" is a whole different ball of wax, but that's entirely campaign-driven. The player had (and still has) the option to bring in another, more "lively" character should he not like the undead thing. It's basically a "half-dead" template. Probably...

What if raise dead were not so common? (I limit resurrection availability quite a bit...)

Despite the fact that Infiniti2000 has hurt my feelings, I thought this topic was worthy of discussion. To be honest, I'm not sure whether I made a bonehead move or not. If we judge gaming by the amount of enjoyment we have - and I think that's the best metric to use - then perhaps I was wrong...

I'm a bit hesitant to post this because I generally have a way of upsetting a large group of folks with my opinions, but here goes nothing! Alright, we had a PC death the other night. The situation seems to have been correctly resolved in accordance with the rules (at least, I think it was). A...

Hell, I'll toss in my two coppers. First, let the dead story hours lie. Go to something with life, something that gets updated frequently. I'd like to throw three props at Wizardru's, Pogre's, and Old One's story hours. Great tales, but - equally important - great gamers. Good people, good...

Perfect. Thanks, Patryn.

Are you guys sure about that? That is - can someone show me where you need to use a full attack action to make an attack with your off-hand? Here's what I got from the SRD: I'm asking because we (my group) had this discussion a while back. We had assumed you needed a full attack to get both...

Bugger that. Judging from the posts, I'd rather wear a PC hat. DMing's so 80's. :) D

Hi all - Thanks for the kind words. I'm as excited as I am surprised to see Valus grab a couple nominations. I'm out of town for a bit dealing with the loss of a friend to cancer, so please forgive me if I'm slow getting back to anyone on posts or email. Thanks all. Take care, Ryan

Like Zach the First, I can empathize with how great it feels to receive a care package with a couple gaming goodies inside. Even though I never had a group overseas or much time to play, it was awesome to have new material just to read. On that note, "donations" in the form of magazine...

Lord, I'm sooo addicted to that game right now. Play online like it's my job. Thanks for the update, BG. Last year's GenCon was my first con and I, too, met Monte. I knocked the books out his hands and threatened to give him a swirly in the restroom, at which point he let out a wail of the...

I'm too busy handing Funeris his own butt in chess to DM.

I fear Harn may be short-lived. If he doesn't get killed by the bad guys, his "followers" may do him in. I think one thing I disliked was suddenly magic became the End All Be All. Everyone - PCs and foes - seemed to constantly invisible, flying, buffed to the high heavens, etc. Acid fogs...

Anticlimactically. :) Seriously, I found out I was a 7th-level DM trying to run an 18th-level game and it wasn't working. I know Pcat and Sep and Wizardru can do it, but I couldn't make the high level thing work. I know, I know. Alright, let's just chalk this attempt to break away from Sins...

First Entries Being an account of Harn mac Cormick, the Handsome Warrior, Poet of the Weedsea, Slaughterer of Sloans, Bane of Vakken, Spider-friend, et al. Qwynn, 225 AL Like many of the finest songs, this one begins with soft notes and an unremarkable harmony. After having satiated my...
