    RPG/D&D terms and phrases that are no longer clever or amusing.

    I just looked through six pages of this crap looking for the term that that should really be cast into the dark pits of word hell and lo and behold, one person commented on its insidious nature and damage to the game. This will probably be my only post to this thread since I'm an old-school...

    Any tips on spicing up an ocean voyage and/or battle?

    Actually, no. It's because a head in an ocean is awfully hard to find. A 3-4" swell is all that's needed to make it completely invisible! Generally, one of two things are seen if the sodden soul is lucky; his bright orange flotation device or, more rarely, his arm thrashing in the air. Even...

    Kewl. Make it an AU game. Everyone has 3.0 down and I've had a couple o' hits for Modern. Your's is the first mention of Arcana Unearthed and even I like a lot of Monte's stuff! :cool:

    Any tips on spicing up an ocean voyage and/or battle?

    Ahem, this is a little erroneous. Not that it's not true, but if one falls overboard on a modern-day vessel in broad daylight in calm seas, there's less than a 10% chance of finding the victim. Most overboards actually fall into the more normal 3% window. And if it's nighttime, forget it! Those...

    I'm going to hold off on your game, JD, until the day shapes up a bit more. I don't want to schedule an all day game until we know what we've got. And to all the rest of you NorCal gamers out there, you're the ones who are going to shape up this day, not me. In the words of Johnny5, "Input, I...

    backwards conversion (psionics)

    Thanks for the info, claran00. Right now, the only book I have is "The Complete Book of Psionics". I've read that some stuff from Dark Sun psionics worked better (I think that MAC you mentioned is from there) and MAC and MTHACO(?) were mentioned as the big plusses. However, I really do think I...

    Integrating psionics into my campaign

    Any of you experienced with 2e psionics, please go here. I'll pull from any source, including d20, but the base system is necessarily 2e and I have no experience with it. Help me!

    backwards conversion (psionics)

    Morrus has got himself a d20 forum, but there's a huge pool of experienced gamers here, me included. The trouble with my experience is that I never experienced 2e. The basic question is, what worked in 2e psionics and what didn't and how did you fix it? The adjunct question, to make it pertinent...

    Depends on our participation level. You could be Game 4 from 11AM to Midnight with an hour lunch break. I want to fill at least the HM slots and one other game for each session. You could end up as Game 3. Keep us posted, the earlier, the better.

    NorCal Game Day II. January 31st 2004 at Gamer's Keepe in Vacaville?

    Tomorrow, it will have been a week since I shouted my query with no responses. I will assume that we're good to go for the Gamer's Keepe in Vacaville on Saturday, January 31st, 2004. I will post a new sign-up thread tomorrow. Now listen. I work 8-10 hours a day, sometimes 6 days a week. I can't...

    NorCal Game Day II. January 31st 2004 at Gamer's Keepe in Vacaville?

    WELL? I haven't counted, but I think there are less than half a dozen who have said the 31st is good to go. IS SATURDAY, JANUARY 31st, A GOOD DAY FOR NORCAL GAMEDAY II? :o

    Player problem...

    Yeah. Maybe not a good one, but...I'm a hardass, what can I say? Keep doin' what you're doin' and the next time you accomodate him, kill his character. Make sure you don't kill his PC when he's a team player. After a few deaths, if he's got any sense, he'll figure out what's going on. Then...

    Other than those who've already said, just who all can make it on the 31st? I need to post a new sign-up thread ASAP. Also, during this interim, how about a few of you soliciting your FLGS's for a prize. I've got prizes for the HM tourney from Kenzer & Co. and I think I can get permission to...

    Convince me to buy BotR

    I don't do d20. I don't buy d20. I bought BotR. It's awesome! If that don't convince you, nuthin' will.

    Need help with a Thieves Guild

    For tomorrow, just stick with what you've got, the bare bones. Later, pick up some of the great resorces out there. Some you may want to borrow rather than buy, but from oldest to newest, I can point you to a few resources. Arduin, Gygax's Canting Crew and Kenzer's GriftMaster's Guide are all...

    Late sleeper, eh? ;) Alright everyone. With this, the time frames look about the same, breakfast, a six hour gaming window, lunch, a second six hour window and short games thrown in catch-as-catch-can. We get the date firmed up with the majority of you and I'll start a new sign-up thread...
