    EN World Game Store poll

    Well it might not be an exclusive licensing thing. It might just be carried in one outlet but not another. I have enough faith in the folks that run EN World that I'm willing to buy from them, but just like anything else I'll shop around if it's a significant purchase.

    Cave of the Spiders OOC

    Just wanted to chime in and let you know I've been reading what you're posting. Time is short, however, so no elaborate plans. Ery's about to get shot at again, so I need actions (at least for her).

    Survey Respondents Requested

    How about "paradise and the abyss"? The extra syllables in paradise make it flow better, I think. I took the survey. Sounds like an interesting setting. This is neither a bug nor a feature, but it seems to me that as soon as you tell the players "teleportation is unreliable and sailing...

    Village Map

    I like it. It's got its own "look and feel", for sure.

    Aaahh! My eyes! My brain! Actually (and sadly) I've seen more disturbing ideas posted. But that one's pretty bent.

    Skill checks and Aid Another

    Ringers in the audience who laugh at your jokes or weep openly at a sentimental song are always popular. :)

    Well that'll be up to Bellichick to decide. If he's not up to it, he's not. Apparently there's no particular risk to his health (any more than there is for anybody else who slams into 300 pound guys at high speed) so that's good. I hope he'll be his old self as a player but we'll just have to...

    It usually starts with a dinner party

    Thanks. It's in Complete Divine? I've been thinking about shelling out for that anyway for my own game. If I order it, though, I still won't have it in time for the game.

    I'm glad somebody does. :) Tedy Bruschi's coming back, though, which is very cool.

    Fireball or Lightning Bolt?

    Fireball for the indirect-fire effect. As a mage you should be behind your meat shields friends anyway, so it's nice to be able to put the center of the blast behind the enemies and not barbecue your party. Of course if you can get Sculpt Spell you can have the best of both worlds with one spell.

    It usually starts with a dinner party

    Perfect. I take it Sense Elements allows me to sense the presence of magical elemental forces (like spells and actual elementals) in a manner similar to a Detect Magic spell? I love the charm elemental bit. If you'll let me tweak my spell list I think I'll try to sneak a Summon Monster III in...

    EN World GameStore - How's the interface?

    I'd suggest a message on the page itself. So you don't go to a different page and there's no call to use the Back button, but near the top of the product detail div just put a boxed message that says "Added to cart" or something. I think it would make the users feel more confident that...

    EN World GameStore - How's the interface?

    A little interface feedback: When I tried to "buy" something (actually a freebie) I clicked on "add to cart" and nothing apparently happened. I understand that it was added to my cart, but: 1) I didn't see any indication that this had happened 2) I couldn't find a "my cart" link. The only...

    Frost Ability on a weapon

    Ack! I forgot the flaming in the first place! :D So that's an average (on a crit) of 42 points of damage. That's without a strength bonus, which is 1.5 because of a 2-handed weapon. Power attack just makes it obscene. Averge damage on a regular hit is only 8 points, though. Pretty...

    Frost Ability on a weapon

    I have yet to see a flaming burst scythe, but it's only a matter of time. Extra 3d10 on a crit. :) Hmm.. For two feats and a total +3 weapon, you can do, what, 4d8+4 + 3d10 damage about 10% of the time, before strength bonus. Not too shabby.

    So next year is the 25th anniversary of Indiana Jones...

    My favorite thing about the "shoot the swordsman" scene is all the bystanders grabbing the guys' valuables and running off. Sweet. And yes, I'm sure Black Omega was kidding. He even included a smiley: :)

    There's a steep slope down, then the gap itself is about 20 feet across.

    Don't rely on it too much. That's basically how I've been doing my picks and you see where it' gotten me. :)

    Age of Empires D&D style (Or d20 Sim city)

    All I know is that a bushel of potatoes weighs in the neighborhood of 60-70 pounds. :) -Jim (worked on a farm in his youth) Ade PS: Seriously, of course, you're right. Bushels of different things weigh different amounts, and potatoes stack above the rim a lot better than wheat.

    If Zuggtmoy's the Evil Queen of Fungi...

    My campaign has a death god who's non-evil. He represents death as a part of the natural cycle and chance for new life. He hates undead with a passion.
