    OotS 701 is up!

    Psssh. Xykon and the rest of the characters would dither around for two dozen filler strips and then just when you think the next strip is going to actually have some substance, cut to a completely different story line for two dozen more fillers. All while that is going on, Cathy is cramming...

    OotS 701 is up!

    I think the Cathy comic strip just bumped OotS in my personal comic rating list.

    I really want to play...

    I've gotten to play the character for a short time but want to revisit it. In D&D terms the character would be a cleric, but does not act like one at all (no religious overtones) and thinks of himself as just and every-day traveler/adventurer and I'm sure I'll get the D&D Police called on me for...

    How do you handle 'special' actions in your game?

    Lately I've been just using aspect tagging straight from the book.

    Which team will win Super Bowl XLIV?

    I'm gonna say Saints cause whatever shadow group controls the national football leagues and determines who wins what games has decided that Katrina is far enough in the past of American psyche and that the Saints should win.

    Freeform Spellcasting

    I was going to mention Ars Magica too as I'm a big fan. Ars Magica also has three 'tiers' of spell casting that are all freeform: spontaneous, formulaic and ritual (or are they called ceremonial?). Each one is like a different flavor of freeform magic too. Also, was it Ranger Wicket who...

    Upcoming Changes to D&D Minis Line

    The single piece, single colored plastic figures I got from the HeroQuest board game back in the 90's have sufficed for my game(s) when the need for minis risen.

    Help me EN World, you're my only hope...

    Give it a laxative effect. Can't go wrong with that, everyone likes poop jokes. :cool:

    Getting Overwhelmed by "Everything is Core"

    My question is, how does Lhorgrim have a custom title but is not (from what I can see) a Community Supporter with a green box? :confused:

    'Surviving in the wilderness' and 'prospering village' mini-games?

    For the town prosper mini-game how about something like... start with a basic number of how much 'food stuffs' the town eats. 300 people you say? Lets round it off and say each person eats 1 foods a day. Or if a day is too zoomed in, say 1 food a season an abstract it out for ease of use. So...

    Please define 'swingy'

    I don't know what swingy is. How about schwingy? ;)

    The Symbol on Warforged's Foreheads

    I always thought it was a nod to the 'real' golem of Prague folklore who had either Emet or Met (hebew for truth and death respectively) written on the forehead to either empower or stop the golem.

    The Bane of the 3ed DM: Monster Advancement, Class Levels, and Prep Time

    In each scenario I would do what Crothian and James J. described themselves doing, pretty much to a T.

    The Second Age - Commentary on my campaign

    Oh no that's not the problem. I mean the Nile does it and many others. What I mean is rivers very rarely if almost never split. Especially multiple times. If you looked at the rivers from originating at the top of the map and followed them down and all those splits where actually where...

    The Second Age - Commentary on my campaign

    Looks really fun although I have one thing that bugged me I'd like to point out to you which is on that wonderful map you have, all the rivers 'flow' the wrong way. ;) I'm just a map snob like that though!

    How would you like a "Gamers Seeking Gamers" system to work?

    It should be like Facebook... but for RPGs.

    The Next Innovation in Gaming

    I wonder, do people interested in other hobbies like model trains or R/C cars and planes on their respective web message boards ponder what changes will uplift their hobbies?

    declaring actions

    Depends what game I'm playing and how the rules are. For example in one game, every character has a perception skill. The person with the lowest (worst) skill states their character's action and then you go up the line next-best, next-best (this includes the GM and NPCs they are playing) until...

    What are your problems with Healing/Dying mechanics in 4E

    Not really just 4th Edition but the HP system in general regardless of which game uses it, IMO it is too sterile.

    Campaign Standards: Slavery yea or nay?

    Yeah sure why not? If cold blooded homicide for pure material and selfish gain has been cool for the past 30+ years I don't see why slavery would be a big deal.
