QFT. I don't mind "blowing" $3.95, $6.00, or even $9.95 on a PDF I think will be useful. I try to read reviews of stuff before I buy, but if all it costs me is 4 or so dollars, I'm happy to spend a few sheckels. Heck, if I don't like it, I'll keep it because hey you never know how my tastes...

Actually that is the boat I was thinking of, although I made it one square longer to 15'/3 squares. The squeezing rule sounds very natural. I was also thinking that one PC may be "soft cover" for the other. Then you get the water creature outside the boat attacking PC 1 but may end up...

A question I don't really know the answer to..something vague I've wondered about. In 3.5, a Med creature's fighting space is 5' or one square on a standard battle grid. But a Med creature doesn't actually take up 5 ft and one can assume that two Med creatures in a noncombat situation could...

Exactly. See the TV show "Angel" and the relationship between the title character and the law firm Wolfram and Hart. W&H is very powerful in two senses: first, they are quite influential and deeply buried in legitimate society, with wealthy clients and ties to political figures. If one were...

Biggest battle was on the top desk of a ship: 3 PCs (4th level) + one PC's animal companion 1 NPC ranger 1 NPC ship captain (expert/fighter) 1 NPC master at arms (expert/warrior) 3 NPC chief bosuns (experts) 27 NPC sailors (mostly experts with some commoners) 1 NPC ship's doctor (expert) 8 NPC...

Personally, I think gnomes and per encounter abilities are to blame.

I finished Dragons of Autumn Twilight. I liked the Pax Tharkas bit a lot. I went to Borders, grabbed a coffee and the next novel, Dragons of Winter Night, to see if it was worth buying. Um...huh? They have this Hammer? Where did it come from? I assumed this novel would pickup right where...

That rocks! I found my name too! Anyway, this was a really nifty thing to do. Well done.

Just picked up all of the War of the Burning Sky series of mods..can't go wrong with a buck each.

Wierd that this thread appears here today. Tuesday night, my players' PCs were after an object that resided under a keep held by several bands of ogres. I planned on the PCs sneaking in, forcing in, trying to draw the ogres out, using subterfuge and guile, etc. The PCs talked. They captured a...

Agreed. This site has slowed to a crawl in the last two weeks. Just accessing the site, never mind posting has become SLOW. Is there an issue? Not just from my home and my ISP. From two or three friends' places who have different ISPs as well as from my corporate network at the office...

A light has gone out. Our hobby will be a little poorer still for his passing. I always wanted to go up to him at Gencon and say hi.....but held back because I didn't want to seem like a drooling fanboy. I am a fanboy though. Maybe I should have said so when I had the chance. Farewell...

The companions have just been captured. I've known about the characters for a long time so I am not surprised about many of their characteristics. Despite not liking kender, I do like Tas. Tanis was interesting at first but he's very whiny. Goldmoon and Riverwind are interesting. Sturm is...

Local cons on university campuses. Seriously. A largish university's rpg club hosts a convention and invites local FLGS'es for a small dealer room. These vendors will bring new stuff but try to sell off backstock of old stuff at good prices. At my local con, on Sunday afternoon as the...

I'm a long time D&D player but I've never been much into fantasy fiction. The only stuff I really liked was Lord of the Rings. Tolkien's masterpiece seemed to blow everything else away. Many of my friends like the various campaign world novels (Dragonlance, FR, etc), as well as many other...

FWIW, I agree with the two clerics thing. It's never a problem. I've gamed with two players who both played clerics. One made his cleric a more knowledgey, spellcasting scholarly type while player two created a martial, buttkicking, evil smiting warrior type cleric.

Lord Zardoz, I find it very cool that you posted and admitted your error. It sounds lame, but I find on internet messageboards, admitting when one makes an error seems to be a skill that eludes 99% of the populace. A cookie for you, sir. (Um is there a cookie emote icon?) Sadly, I've just read...

How do I know a really good session? Let a year slip by....do the players who played that session still talk about it? That's a good measure. "Hey, remember that combat with eight people [4 PCs 4 NPCs] that took place in a 6 square long by 2 square wide [that's 12 squares for 8 people] private...

You're that powerful a wizard and you're going to spend your epic years on the <ugh> Prime Material? That simply won't do, not at all, dear boy.

*picks up a sword and stands between the 4e crap monster and his D20 Modern* I hope and pray that none of the mechanics from 4e make it into any kind of "revised" D20 Modern. WOTC should be continuing the D20 Modern line as is, with a robust release schedule of quality product.
