New folks (those with not a lot of XP themselves) can't give XP. Rather, they can give XP, but it has no value.

I might describe temporary hit points as an adrenaline rush. It's a temporary surge of energy that wears off once you've had a moment to cool down, at which point you realize that your ribs really hurt and oh, hey, your lip is bleeding!

So what? Life's too short to stay with a group where your playstyles don't match. I'm guessing that was not the only thing that made Hussar leave.

I had a 1-hour commute for a year a while ago, which meant 2 hours in the car a day. I told myself, never again. Especially on days when I had to work overtime my schedule was wake up, eat breakfast, drive, work, drive, eat supper, go to bed, rinse, repeat. I was so depressed during that...

You want to look at "Posts" there. Those are posts you've made, which includes posts you've reported (which actually show up as posts in a moderator-only forum).

What sections do you see when you click on "Settings"? I'm not talking about the menu on the left, but what's on the body of the page?

Sometimes I create goals. It depends on my mood and the campaign I'm in. Usually the more background I know about a campaign world the more detailed backstories I create. In a 3.5e Eberron campaign a while ago I created a lawful neutral knight who had started her life as a scoundrel, had a...

When you click "Settings" scroll down a tad below the subscribed threads and subscribed forums and you should see a section called "My Personal Statistics" with some tabs above it.

There have been studies that show that people in general say they want more choices, but once they have those extra choices they have a harder time making a decision than when they had fewer choices. Example: You're picking out a couch. Your couch comes in 3 colors. It will probably take...

By the way, I just re-read your post and notice these lines. If you want to see players do unexpected things in your game then you need to reward those unexpected things when they happen. If a player comes up with an unexpected solution to a problem you have, let them succeed. They'll be more...

I'm sorry, I would not have gotten that. A stray cat is not unusual, so the word "stray" wouldn't make the cat stick out to me. There are some strays that hang around my apartment building. We're told not to touch or feed them because they're feral, and they might bite, so my instinct in real...

Regarding the cat and descriptions... A good way to highlight key NPCs or pieces of scenery is to use a colorful or unusual word to describe it. The description doesn't need to even be very long or flowery, it has to be unique. A few years ago I had a DM describe a woman as "swarthy". All of...

It's not really an error message, and I wish I saved a screenshot of it, but I was once trying to upload a file on Vista and it told me that my upload would take over 1 year to complete.

That's most likely it. When the restriction went into effect it didn't change any existing signatures, but anyone who's above that limit won't be able to save changes to their sig unless it conforms to the limitations of a non-supporter.

I always liked this one: http://www.d20srd.org/sdfsdf.htm

What was the problem, out of curiosity?

I was told that the series climaxed in season 4 because when the show was originally created the main writer, J. Michael Straczynski, planned out five seasons. Then the show wasn't doing so good at the end of the first season, so they asked him to cut it back to 4 seasons. He complained, but...

Exactly. It depends on what you want to get out of your VTT. If you just want to simulate a "live" tabletop session where an attack is just someone declaring their action, rolling a die, and doing the math in their head then no framework is needed. On the other hand, if you want to take...

The sblocks in drothgery and Walking Dad's signatures work fine for me.
