Bloodymage is a pinhead from way back. More college than most PhDs and no lambskin! Ooh, how I love knowledge! Nuthin' better than down 'n' dirty, though.

Only 2 geezers! And I'm one of 'em! Ha! And that's even with a wider interval in the age limits! Is that why this hobby is considered "juvenile' in some circles? Still :cool: though.

OK BG, I did say I was serious earlier. I took quite a bit of time and checked out your site and it's obvious you've put a ton of thought and work into it and done a bang-up job. Aside from the format being too fragmented for my use, your "world" isn't developed enough. What you've done is...

Now where did I put my foam rubber baseball bat? Said by me when my players are being particularly obtuse. Picked up by them when one of their number is particularly dense ("Get out the foam rubber baseball bat."). Until, finally, one of my players actually brought a foam rubber baseball bat to...

Re: The Hunt: Rise of Evil Hadn't heard of it. Took a look in the reviews section. I like that it's adaptable to various styles of play. Will add it to my list of "possibles." Thanks.

LOL KtT :rolleyes: Maybe I should point out that I like the work of world-building. It's just that working OT with rotating days off, being an officer in my union and being an officer in a very active veterans' organization, along with just keeping up with life keeps me busy. I often don't...

Why just 3 new choices? Thanks Joshua. Intriguing suggestion. I'll probably go with it if I decide to concentrate on developing Ert. Nightfall, your description causes me to think I should explain why I listed the choices I did. Btw, good informed salesmanship. Just what I want. 1) Kingdoms...

Hi all! I'm not really satisfied with running FR. Everyone has their fingers in everyone else's pie, too many iconics, too much cheese, and information overload. I'm opening a new campaign on my homebrew and am thinking of gating all my FR PCs to it. What's the deal, you say? Some background: I...

Sanctuary anyone? Has anyone read the Sanctuary stories first edited by Robert Lynn Asprin? The premise was a common seedy city, Sanctuary, with each author responsible for a character. I remember the writer's rules were set out somewhere by RLA. I'll see what I can find. Some of the authors...

I once transported a 1e party to a world populated by deere, cats, trenchulas, bobcats, dozing bulls, etc. I guess you'd hafta hear the names to understand! Sentient tractors bent on keeping their world free of biological sentients. Magic didn't work. The only way to "kill" them was by...

I'm with Crothian on this. IMC, just wizards are literate in any language they start with. Gaining literacy in a subsequent language costs 1 skill point. All other classes can become literate in a given language with 1 SP except barbarians for which it costs 2.

Watch it, punk! Make that 50! With a smelly beard. And long hair! Never played in Greyhawk. :cool:

Re: the cartoon In Eric's sig: "Mandingo, I grok your mouth music!" -- The Tick I'd probably be considered an old geezer, but my kid, who's 19 now, grokked The Tick (I thought he was hilarious, too). So, at a guess, not knowing Eric personally, I'd say that pic is probably not very old. :o

Too much reduction?

All it takes is willpower, dammit! Read the sig. wimps! :p The humor in this post may cause apoplectic attacks, read at your own risk.

You said to specify other. Assuming I won't be ignored, I'll do that. My vote: A friendly and supportive online community Slightly pretentious at times, but I like it Slightly venomous at times (but that\\\\\\\'s what I get for asking questions)

Zorath-male human fighter, big, dumb. Used to chase clerics of Cyriac and Thayan Wizards off Blackfeather bridge when he was a kid! Wields bastard and short sword. Erik-male human paladin of Tyr. Trouble kid, found his calling with the god of justice. Real hard-ass with our rogue. Carries a...

I played video games on UCLA's MedCenter computer before there was Pong. I learned Fortran as a programming language. That's Fortran with no numbers after it! I programmed computers with punch cards. Most of this I've mentioned on another thread. What I didn't mention was that I sat down in...

I voted for articles on gameplay and DM'ing but "crunchy bits" are almost as important to me. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't use most "bits" I come across. What I do use are "bits" I can drop in my campaign setting - taverns, towers, culture notes, businesses, guilds, cults...
