    Computers at the gaming table

    There's a computer close enough to the gaming area that if someone needs to print a character sheet or print something off some website it can be done real fast, but they're not welcome at my table as part of the "gaming environment". I have recently banned cell phones too because of ever...

    My First TPK

    Perhaps a nitpick, but you likely cannot surrender to a raging barbarian. You can certainly try, but the outcome is much like not surrendering, only faster. Maybe can't outrun one either.

    Drinking holy water and barfing it up on a monster...

    Yeah, I'd likely allow it provided it happened within a couple minutes of drinking the holy water. Because honestly, why not? It's not going to turn the character into some kind of living holy water fire hose, I would probably allow it to do a vial's worth of holy water damage plus a vial's...

    Parents Neglect - D&D named.....

    I'm going to pipe up here for a moment. As someone who lived and breathed behavior and addiction for ten years and still volunteers at schools and clinics around the area, I want to touch on a couple points people have brought up. The first is about jail, whether it's appropriate or not...

    How does your DR work?

    It really depands on the creature involved and my mood at the time. In general, living creature (and undead regenerators) tend to "heal the would immediately", whereas undead, constructs, elementals and the like are either unharmed by the weapon or unhindered by the wound as whimsy strikes me...

    Freedom of Movement underwater?

    Unless you happen to have wings, winged boots, a flying carpet, a flying mount, or any other method of moving about through the air.

    The C&C poll

    C&C turned out to be the game my players were looking for...or looking to get back to as the case may be. Most of my players go back to at least 1st edition, a couple back to basic/expert, and a couple came in during 3.x. After playing 3.x into the mid teens, everyone was looking for something...

    Darkvision and mirrors?

    Given the number of fairly civilized races running around with Darkvision, I'd rather think that mirrors that worked with darkvision would be just as common as regular ones, they'd just be for sale in different markets.

    Bothered About Disposable Dragons (B.A.D.D.) Membership Drive

    Now don't go blaming Tolkien if your character has never found an Arrow of Dragon Slaying :lol:

    How thick does plexiglass/acrylic need to be?

    Plexiglass is remarkably strong, and if you don't get all crazy with it, 3/16" will probably suit you fine.

    Pale as the winter moon...

    Actually, it specifically states that in the case of undead, it is a WILL save and not a FORT save, and it affects them lethally from the beginning. Despite the fact you're not used to seeing spells with different saves for different creature types doesn't mean there's anything illegal about...

    Things that bug you (spin off of Goldmoon's thread)

    When my hamburger slips through the grill and falls in the briquettes...which although they appear intact are in fact this magical pile of fine powder that can hold the shape of a solid object.

    Game session abruptly canceled

    While it's always nice to know things are changing in advance, I'll just say this as a current father of a one year old, and having been through that twice before, four and seven years ago. Sometimes your plans REALLY DO immediately change based on what kind of day that one year old is having...

    Why I don't support my LGS

    It doesn't sound like much of a "threat" to me though, it sounds like they've actually done it. And it doesn't sound like something they hurled at the employee (who may or may not be the owner, I'm not sure anyone here knows) trying to get demands met, they simply completed thier transaction...

    Is gaming *with* a map and minis really bad?

    I discovered for my group it wasn't strictly the map and minis, but the SQUARES on the map. I've had the luxury of gaming with the same basic group since 1980..we're all childhood friends who have remained in the same general area. We rarely used minis in earlier versions and I certainly DID...

    Scott Rouse: of Interesting Note

    I obviously can't read his mind, but I'd imagine the distinction was between "real world sitting around a table" and "sitting behind your computer screen"...not splitting hairs on what you would be doing sitting around that table.
