    Disable the huge ads on front page

    I have to admit that I'm much less likely to actually read the news now that those two huge ads are there. I used to just glance at it, and if there was anything interesting I'd scroll down. Now there's nothing visible there to peak my interest before I click through to the forums. I know how...

    Wands of healing: individual purchase or party purchase (please read before voting)

    Wow, I'm surprised that NOBODY so far has voted for the healer to buy his or her own wands. That's not my vote, but having not a single person vote for an option this far in has to be some sort of EN World record. Personally, I lean towards the "for the good of the party" point of view. When...

    Good ways to sell/unload old Dragon magazines?

    You might have more luck selling them in one lot instead of individually. I don't know what the market is for old Dragons, though.

    If it's the DM's job to make sure the players have fun...What is the PLAYER'S job?

    Hey, that was NOT what I said. I said only SOMETIMES do we game without pants. :p

    If it's the DM's job to make sure the players have fun...What is the PLAYER'S job?

    In our defense, we play online with no webcams, so if I don't want to wear pants I'm not gonna wear pants. :p Everyone's job at the table is to try to maximize fun at the table. If you think of something fun to do that won't ruin other people's fun, do it. Don't wait for fun to come to you...

    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

    I haven't decided whether I want to see this one yet. I loved the entire experience of the game, including the plot, and I almost don't want a movie version to ruin it for me. Though watching the trailers really make me want to install it and play it through again. This would be my fourth...

    Is there a way to paste formatting directly into a post?

    You might be able to find a conversion tool online if you search. A quick search came up with this Word macro: phpBB • View topic - Word to BBCode Macro I have not tested it, however.

    Mods might want to take a closer look at...

    He's actually talking about gaming, though. I doubt he's a bot. If he is, he's a bot tailored for roleplaying forums, which is something I don't think happens. I have seen bots that try to increase their post count before spamming so they look more legit, but their posts are usually something...

    LOST: The Final Season (Spoilers)

    He gave those powers to Hurley before he went into the well, though. At least, that's how I interpreted it. And I don't think they ever implied that Jacob was truly immortal. He seemed like he would have lived forever if he wasn't killed, but he obliviously could be killed (since Linus killed...

    Portal for Free until May 24 / Steam on Mac

    Not free? Doh! Portal reminded me how much I loved the original Half-Life. There was so much character in that game! (Talking about the quality of the game itself... as it had very few recurring actual characters.) I remember one of my favorite moments was crawling through air ducts and...

    LOST: The Final Season (Spoilers)

    I watched all of LOST (yes, all six seasons) in about a month and a half since they made it all available on Hulu, and I've been avoiding this thread because I didn't want any spoilers. Now I come back to it and see that it's 22 pages long and waaay to much for me to read it all. :p Did...

    LEGEND OF THE SEEKER #22:Tears/Final *THE END* Season 2/2010

    Maybe if we're lucky another network will pick this up and run with it (hopefully with slightly better writers). I won't hold my breath, though.

    LEGEND OF THE SEEKER #22:Tears/Final *THE END* Season 2/2010

    Gonna talk about the ending of the series and of one of the books, and gonna put it in a spoiler block, just in case. They took part of the ending of the first book and put it in here, which I was sorta pleased with but sorta not pleased with. The theme of the first book seemed to be "love...

    tattling & ettiquette question

    Anybody hear heard the saying that you're less likely to get help when you're surrounded by a crowd of people than you are when there's only one or two people nearby? (There may be a name for this phenomenon, but I don't know what it is... could be "Somebody Else's Problem".) I don't know if...

    tattling & ettiquette question

    This thread reminds me of an incident when I was in middle school. I should probably note before I start that I was your average geek in school. I normally stayed by my lonesome or with other geeks. I was a quiet kid and usually minded my own business. We were in art class, and the teacher...

    I Have the Best Players in the World

    Aw, thanks! (I'm one of the players Hussar mentioned, specifically the one who did the MapTool framework.) And I've got the best DM in the world. Hussar, when I grow up I wanna be a DM just like you. :p

    Baldur's Gate image controversy

    And THAT would be the page I started this whole thread to find! Thanks! :D

    Avatar/Profile pic issue.

    If you view your public profile you'll see (what I assume is) the new image.

    Supernatural season finale (Spoilers)

    What? What?? Noo!! I don't really care, because if it plays on a night I can't watch it I'll just DVR it, but this show has ALWAYS been on Thursdays. They've even referenced it within the show itself (frex, Castiel's name).

    Neptune's Pride

    I told my base star? Oh, did I say something like, "Greetings from <homeworld here>?" The faster pace of this game really happened at a bad time for me. I could only afford to log in once a day, and I think the second time I logged in I saw several forces advancing into my territory and ships...
