In your shoes, I'd give a summary of the events as usual but subtly give them a chance to remember what was going on. Don't directly say "The rogue pocketed the item." Just remind them of what everyone else was doing and see if anyone notices that the rogue has not been mentioned and wonders...

So, when is this thing coming out in the US? The IMDB didn't have a release date...

I'll have to give the Manual of the Planes a look to see what it has to offer. I hadn't thought of that one. I rather like the caster level penalty effect. I'll have to consider using that. I also like the "slow teleport" idea. I don't really mind Druids being a strong choice since...

I'm looking for alternate magic rules for an upcoming campaign. I'd like to set up a setting where magic simply isn't as strong as normal. The problem is that most of the alternate systems I've seen, such as those in Unearthed Arcana, seem to boost the power of casters rather than reducing it...

Yes, but thats because I like the idea enough that I have a nation with whole monasteries full of Shaolin Gnomes in my homebrew.

I also started with the 1983 boxed set. I loved that material. I also loved the 1987 FR boxed set. The thing here is that there is a difference between dislike and disrespect. There is nothing to say you cannot disrespect someone you do not like, but one should be aware disrespect is going...

I selected "Yes. They thought my D&D friends were geeky and wanted me to meet a jockier/more popular class of idiot. " That's the closest option to the actual situation. What it boils down to is my father disapproved of the game for a number of non-religious reasons. One of them was he...

You know, I think Greyhawk fans are the setting's own worst enemies. I have a certain fondness for Greyhawk. I did some of my earlier adolescent adventuring there and have some fond memories. I spent more than a decade running campaigns in the Forgotten Realms and Harn. When I looked into...

Yeah, I forgot about that. Like I said, its been 15 years since I took the theory classes. I'd expect removing that factor to increase the amount of time people can operate in increased pressure enviroments a great deal. Moving between pressures rapidly will still be a problem, but it should...

Well, one thing to remember about SCUBA diving is that it pretty much just involves "standard" air at increased pressures. It won't be much use dealing with different atmospheric compositions and won't predict all of the problems with lower than normal pressures. That said, I think your...

Hurley. Seriously. This was a Celtic team sport that was evidently VERY rough with common injuries.

I can't help it but the rat-bastard DM in me keeps thinking of how someone could mistake THEM for slavers what with them wandering around with a prison wagon all the time and whatnot. I know you weren't looking for ways to mess with them but its just so hard to hold things like that in sometime...

Let’s see, my current game world has a number of these sorts of areas basically waiting for the PCs to explore them, though I admit I haven’t really fleshed out most of them to any degree. The main campaign area is in a “Roman” empire but the current area would be similar to the eastern...

That's a coincidence. I am currently doing something similar to this. A group of my world's "Gauls" who fled my "Rome"'s Caesar by fleeing across the sea to establish a culture in a place that isn't quite America, but is well across the ocean and has closer ties to what would pass for America...

Huh? What's that? FWIW, Everything I've heard about the situation indicates that Harry was being "done unto" long before he did anything back and that the Dursleys have dished out far more than Harry ever did in retaliation. Of course, I haven't read the books...

I like this, but I'd move it up to the reign of Trajan around 110 A.D. or so. Instead of having him go off and conquer Persia in a few years like he did in our world, turn him loose on Rokugan and watch the fireworks as one of Rome's best soldier-emperors does a number on on them. This would...

I've asked my Potter reading friends the same question and they also mentioned what others have said about his being safe from Voldemort at the Dursley's house. Of course, that leaves aside the question of what happens when he goes out. After all, prior to admission at Hogwarts at age 11, he...

Wow! The first time through I read that as King Kong wuxia maestro... Talk about a wierd mental image -- King Kong leaps into the air and delivers a flying kick to the T-Rex.... If I were a Hollywood director, I'd probably start looking for funding right now...

So brooms acting up is common enough that nobody suspected someone was interfering in the match? As competitive as they seem to be, I'd have thought there would be folks on the lookout for this sort of thing...

SPOILERS FOR BOOK 5 IN THIS POST! I'll have to take your word for it. I've never read the books so I'm going strictly by the movies. If I remember, I'll ask my Potter reading friends tomorrow when we get together for boardgames.
