Two words: "Fourth Edition" :D

How's about a "Stupid Death Due to DM Incompetence?" I was part of a campaign back in 1979, playing AD&D. I had rolled up a Paladin, and we're talking here about rolling 3d6 six times, in attribute order, no re-rolls. I was actually the first "natural rolled" Paladin in the campaign ever. For...

Take yourself up a few more points on the Coolness Meter!!!! ;)

"Crom! Zeus! Odin! Ralph!"

"interesting" is in the eye of the beholder...or in the nose of the beholder...perhaps even in the buttocks of the beholder...now THAT would certainly be interesting. :lol:

True! And VERY well put!!! :lol:

the Cutting Edge (57% dark, 46% spontaneous, 26% vulgar) your humor style: CLEAN | SPONTANEOUS | DARK Your humor's mostly innocent and off-the-cuff, but somehow there's something slightly menacing about you. Part of your humor is making people a little uncomfortable, even if the things you...

Yes, I believe he's a Chosen of Mystra. The situation are similar, but not alike, IMO. If I recall correctly, Gandalf isn't even really human per se....Elminster is. All I know for sure is, despite the fact that Elminster seems to be on the side of the angels, so to speak, if I were facing down...

Wait! Stop the presses! I got it! I. Have. Got. It. An elegant solution. If you're a DM and someone's wife is making out with some other guy, but you don't want to tell the husband that she's cheating on him, then simply rephrase it. Use the following letter: Dear Friend Sorry to be a bother...

OK, time to jump on the pig pile! Yay!!!! Here's my take: 1. The British SAS have a rule. If, during an incident, an innocent bystander picks up a gun, he's no longer innocent. When these two lovebirds decided to swap spit in YOUR house, they dragged you into it, like it or not. They managed...

That's an interesting take. I recall there being some sidebar in the FR Campaign Setting hardcover, that explains why the "big guns" don't just take out the evil baddies once and for all. The reason given was most decidedly not the one you gave :lol: But yours works too! You'd think by now...

Examples? I recall reading "Spellfire" (yuck) and not remembering him being in it for very long. Same with the Avatar Trilogy (triple yuck). I dunno...Haven't read many of the recent ones...mostly because I don't like saying "yuck" too often.

Well now...it can be argued that Gandalf "sent" Frodo, sure, but by golly, he went with him! I'd like to see old Elminster say to some poor low level schlub: "Behold, you must now drop the Rod of Fneh-Fneh Flaboodle into the gaping maw of Dinklefwat the Obtuse Praline Dragon who dwells on the...

:::bows::: Thou art veddy veddy velcome!

I keep meticulous track of the date. I have weather and lunar phases all planned out for about a month's worth of fantasy time. It's led to some interesting circumstances sometimes! ;)

I agree that the resemblance is superficial at best. Gandalf is an angelic being who knows some magic. Elminster is a dirty old man who casts lots of spells. :)

Guess I'll chime in as well. Here are my observations, bulleted for the sake of clarity and the fact that coffee hasn't quite kicked in. - Although age isn't a guarantee of maturity, the odds are better that someone who's older than, say, high school-college age, will be more mature. It's not...

OK, the original AD&D system, my home-brewed campaign. Everyone was comfortably resting inside a friendly castle that was constructed near some kind of uncivilized woodlands. One guy decided that his character (a fighter named Yu Hengue) wanted to go off by himself and hunt deer in the forest...
