[checks d8] The wind is blowing from the left, so Karl is upwind, but not directly upwind.

Now that I've moved into the DM's chair for IVV1: Forgotten Map, we need a new judge for that game.

I reviewed again -- if I understand correctly, you left the map with Halina from the temple of her eponymous goddess. So you're not carrying it right now. But my big problem now is figuring out what spells Lerrin can cast. He doesn't have anything listed on his character sheet. Oh, there, post...

I'm trying to figure out your formation before seeing the lizards -- once I do, I'll tell you where exactly they are. Three columns, 30' apart. Does the arrangement below seem plausible? Babette is holding the cage. BTW, who is carrying the map? That might be important a little later. Karl...

OK. You're engaging two shocker lizards you've just seen. So, I need initiative rolls from everyone.

Jaker, I'm very sorry to hear about that. I know what would have worked for me when my sister passed away a few years ago. For a couple weeks after that, I didn't want to have to attend to anything. A little escapist fun was much needed, but the sense that a game was waiting for me was not. So...

I don't like it. The main reason: the PCs need to coordinate their actions, and ordinarily that's a challenge the players take on. When two characters are played by the same player, they somehow get played as if they have a mysterious telepathic bond. I also think conversational verisimilitude...

Just copy-and-paste. In notepad, highlight the text and copy (ctrl-C) into your buffer. Then begin a post to the character thread and paste (ctrl-V) your copied text there.

I've been reviewing the thread, and should be ready to make a real game post on the weekend. It looks like Lerrin and Dianna are NPCs now, along with Razengrul, since there's no convenient way to write them out right now. But if any real group decisions need to made, they'll go along with...

All of them -- they were approved as a single proposal. The sky's the limit. Epic level rules are part of the SRD, and therefore part of our ruleset. At the pace of PbP, expect at least 10 years from character creation -- if you're lucky, and don't get stuck in any adventures getting bogged...

Are you thinking of Test-based prerequisites That's not a LEW rule, and while you can always propose it, I'd oppose it, because I think less-rigorously defined prerequisites don't work well in a campaign that doesn't have a single absolute DM authority. However, if your character is about to...

Welcome! All of the *character* judges. There are five of us, and we're listed in the first page of the Character list. There's a longer list of judges who judge adventures and decide rules, but it's only the five of us who do characters. Also, two of us need to approve the character before...

Judge checking in I've been a bit behind on LEW stuff, but I just saw this needs my attention. Since my next couple of months should be a little less busy than the last two, I may be able to run this, at least toward a smooth slightly-hastened wrap-up. Let me get fully caught up. In the...

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some who believe that. But I can assure you, they aren't the ones who have ever taken a first course in statistics. As someone who teaches (among other things) basics stats, let me explain: the way statisticians measure the strength of an inference is to...

Interestingly, in the post-film Q&A, some of the gamers in the audience thanked the director for making a film that, in their view, neither ridiculed nor trivialized their hobby. I'll admit that the drow woman came across as rather freakish (thanks for pointing me to her blog -- that gives me a...

Yes, it's a documentary, and a pretty good one. I saw it at the Toronto Film Festival last year.

"The theatre's going well, at least when I'm home. I've never been one to have a home, you know, I'm still wandering the world, trying to learn more songs. But it's also a good to have a base where I can always organize performances myself. I should be going back there soon. I only recently...

Sir Nurlan turns toward the proud dwarf with a look of recognition. "Razh, it's been a day for reunions! You just missed Eanos, and Tenebrynn, Rinaldo and Ashnar were here earlier. It sounds like you've had quite some exploits since we foiled the dragonkin usurper."

"Indeed; he saved my life. I am sure he is perfect for the task for the task for which he just left." "It looks like Melubb has found the help he needs. At any rate, I'm more one to sing of noble deeds than to do them. I wish them well."

"Sir Nurlan of Monemvassia. Well, if I am of anywhere, I am of Monemvassia. I now live there, when I'm not travelling the world. Pleased to meet you. I must say, this tavern was so quiet not ten minutes ago, and how lively it has become!"
