    How do you determine hitpoints?

    1st level- Max points on hit die + con bonus After that- If you roll a 1 or 2, do a re-roll, although 1 or 2 three times in a row means a keeper. Exception: d4 classes only do a re-roll on a 1. I like the averaging idea. Might use that one!

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    Awwww man....food-related offenses in a gaming group can be nasty, especially if combined with a generally unpleasant player. Hey, have any of you ever seen that old John Cusack movie "One Crazy Summer"? There's this scene where Cusack's character, in an effort to put a barrier between himself...

    Dragon 337: Will the real Zuggtmoy please stand up?

    I think it's because, in general, even the most desperate socially-deprived gamers have trouble getting turned on by large blobs of fungus. NOTE: OK, I've set it up nicely....someone spike the ball now, ok? :cool:

    Dragon 337: Will the real Zuggtmoy please stand up?

    LOL...this reminds me of the time our cable company, Comcast, was advertising the benefits of switcing to cable, and it was on a channel accessible only if you had cable! :cool:

    Star Trek Quotes you wouldn't want to hear during sex

    Then there's always the "Scotty" line that your still-in-the-mood wife doesn't want to hear from you after you've finished "the deed"... "Och, I canna change the laws of physics, I'll need at least a half an hour!" And the geeky fanboy part of me can say with 80% certainty that the line comes...

    Tell me that D&D 3.0/3.5 isn't really like this

    My DM fiat's in the garage getting a tuneup. ;) I think the example given in the initial post DOES happen, but I'd hardly call it characteristic of all sessions. I used to know almost every damned rule in AD&D/2ndEd, and now not only have I had to un-learn, re-learn 3.0, I then had to edit my...

    Quintessentially Forgotten Realms

    Another idea is to do what I do in MY Realms campaign...I add my own small town to the existing landscape, bring in references and stuff from the Realms setting in order to fully integrate it, and there you go. The latest example is Fellwood, a small farming community on the Evermoor Way in the...

    Do you reequire your players to think?

    Do I require my players to think? Yes, yes, and again I say, YES. Now, sometimes it's just the requirement that they exercise some basic common sense. For instance, act mouthy to NPC townsfolk, and gee whiz, they won't like you very much. Amazing how that works, huh? Sometimes, it's the "Hey...

    woohoo, go white sox!

    Heartiest of congratulations to the White Sox and their loyal fans, from this little corner of Red Sox Nation! :) I've resolved that, since I can't cheer for RED Sox this post-season, I'll cheer for the WHITE ones this time round! ;) Go White Sox, take the Series!!!! The White Sox cleaned...

    Quintessentially Forgotten Realms

    Big Realms booster here... I agree with the post that says to make the Realms campaign YOUR Realms campaign. But, if you're looking for at least a framework upon which to hang your own tapestry of the Realms, here's my suggestions, based on observations culled from the many Realms novels and...

    Unpolite and happy about it! UPDATED 11/04/05

    Behold, I have created Steak Muffins.....the sizzly juicy red-meat goodness of grilled steak, wrapped up in the corn-bready goodness of a muffin! Please keep them away from Frank. Thank you!

    How are you going to introduce your kids to gaming, if at all?

    Got 4 kids here.... 18yr old daughter, 16yr old son, 12yr old son, 10yr old daughter My oldest daughter started at age 9, so we made age 9 the cut-off year. Younger than that, we decided not to risk it, so as to give the kids a large amount of time to ascertain the difference between reality...

    Star Trek Quotes you wouldn't want to hear during sex

    Here's one that Spock said, and have been trying to incorporate into a phone message for years now... "There are two explanations; they are unable to respond, or, they are unwilling to respond"

    How can DMs improve? What makes a good DM?

    I've always maintained that a good DM is: One part referee One part diplomat One part actor One part story teller One part social director One part rules lawyer One part administrative assistant One part comedian, and... Five parts S.O.B. ;)
