If you intend to do any modern gaming, get another couple gigs of ram. It's never been cheaper and 2 gig really is sliding rapidly towards a bare minimum.

Depending on the amount of papers, "mother-may-I's", and emails needed for those reps to get permission to divulge even the smallest snippet, based on current company policy regarding 4e, both statements could indeed be true. As an example, I work for a company that is considered an...

I always tell'em Santa is real, even though two of them are nearing college and certainly know the "real" answer. But experience has taught me that you start out believing in Santa, then reach an age where you don't, and then reach an age where...if life hasn't made you bitter and defeated by...

That's fair. You, like me, are no longer part of thier target audience.

Find and replace? Whoohoo! dawizard cometh once again!

Oh you can kill it, but the price tends to be high. Such is true of any great evil.

Glad I'm not the only one that thought they pasted that elf onto an old deathknight painting ala colorforms scribble method. If that's the kind of hack job mentality they're approaching this with, they can keep it.

The world, WOTC included, doesn't owe you a darn thing. Don't think your "oh noes!" entitlement rhetoric is going to find much traction here.

About 7 hours straight north of you in that little narrow part called the panhandle is a cattle ranch with a pair of old and wizend barn cats that have indeed killed coyotes, right in the barn.

I'm actually going to disagree with that last part here. Players and DM's with thier roots farther back and some experience will do this. New players attracted to the game from MMO's may well have no clue without some great examples and pointed "how-to's". It's important to remember that...

Amen I arrived at this exact same point about 3 weeks ago. Warhammer is our new flavor.

Yep! HE has a LOT more positive hit points to play with, but once you're unconscious, 20th level meat and 1st level meat are purty much the same.

That might just be an old-timer referring to sneak attack though. In previous editions the equivalent was backstab, and sneak attack is still referred to as backstab in our group. We're likely not alone.

Yep, you sure will. It's been that way as long as we've had stuff.

Apologies in advance if this sounds snarky, it's not meant to, but... In ANY system, if you have more than one choice, unless they are all exactly the same (and thus a non-choice), there will be one that is the best...it is an inherent property of having choices at all. If the internet was 80...

This is likely going to be slightly inflammatory, but I'm in that kind of mood and this is the thread to do it. If you choose to isolate her from everything in this world you disagree with, better just lock her in a windowless room now and toss the key. OR, you could take this opportunity to...

I only laugh at my brother's paint jobs, and that's usually because he's laughing before he gets it out of the case to show me. In all seriousness though, much like gift giving it's the thought that counts, and I would rather see an unpainted miniature than a penny, and I'd rather see an...

I would certainly award full XP for those encounters. Overcoming your adversaries need not always end in death for one side or the other, and if the DM is playing intelligent (or instinctual) creatures correctly, certain foes would certainly choose to run for it when beaten.

Not only that, I have drug them kicking and screaming through second edition and into the third point five :)

Yep, go get Fallout 1 and 2, and play'em till you're sick! Both great games. FWIW, there's a Fallout 3 coming over the horizon as we speak. Bethesda (Of the Morrowind and Oblivion fame) is putting it together and they've hired back the original couple guys that did the storylines/history from...
