Every single time I've seen this done by a DM, it went horribly bad, with the PC/NPC becoming the star of the story and marginalizing the real PCs. Always. Invariably. And in very cheesy ways too. So it's "oh, no! eeeek!" for me. I guess that somewhere in the world, there is a DM that is using...

Amazon is a huge corporation. They don't sell fakes. You can buy their wares safely. If you're buying items sold from Amazon proper, you are safe. However, they do host other people's sales through the "amazon stores" and "used and new" links. These are only as good as the people who manage...

The cellphone has more than enough storage space; the issue is with the size of a single page. BeerSkunk's should work very well! Thank you, I'm uploading them to the phone now. :)

You could take a look at the link in my signature. I've been writing the Abyssal campaign as we play it, and we've been playing it for more than two years now. It is not complete yet, but I think I'll finish it by the end of this year (except for some filing and polishing).

Several players have said that I'm by far the best person in our group at GMing. I've also come second at a GMing contest (rating based on anonymous player voting; there were a dozen participants). I am quite sure that I don't make the big mistakes - you know, obvious railroading, pet NPCs...

That's still bigger than Sovelior's. Maybe I should start from a plain text and just add hyperlinks.

Hi everyone! I've decided to learn embedded devices programming, and to have something to practice on I've bought a new cellphone. The Nokia 6630 has almost anything you could ask, lacking only infrared and a thermometer (the first being handy to connect wireless to my bluetooth-lacking laptop...

No way. I'm going to get one console, and it's going to be PS3. First of all, very few of the xbox360's titles really appeal to me. There's Oblivion, Fable, then there's a bunch of games that promise to be good but not exceptional... and that's about it. Secondly, I've seen the PS3 demos and...

It seems that you're doing everything right: you've recognized you have a problem, and you're going to the right person to fix it (that'd be the psychologist, not the message board ;) ). I think you'll get better soon. :)

Quoted, 'cause it's teh truff.

A thousand? I'd just emigrate.

Yes, they exist. I've even used them as a relevant plot device more than once.

Pffh. That's nothing. I rolled -1 on my Spot checks several times. And one time that I had circumstance penalties, -2.

Apprentice: from +1 to +4. He can't take 10 on anything useful - meaning that routine jobs are still a challenge for him. Journeyman: from +5 to +9. He can do routine stuff, but he is challenged by tough jobs. Master: from +10 to +14. He can reliably make anything, given enough time. Wizards...

Agree. There is no "abundance" of templated creatures in D&D, unless you want to. The fact that a PC is a half-dragon by no means requires other half-dragons at all to exist. In fact, Impeesa is right to note that, given a templated creature, chances are that it will become an unique character...

Not really. A mechanical printer leaves unique little spots and flaws, that's true. However, you need to have the printer on hand to check if a given sheet was printed by that printer. Having the sheet alone won't help much unless you have a bunch of "suspect" printers to compare it against...

Warlocks from Complete Arcane work pretty much like that.

I love it. A masterful example of how the D&D rules can create an interesting situation.

I'd love a Dragonlance trilogy. But it wouldn't outsell LotR, and it definitely wouldn't outsell SW. Utterly impossible. It wouldn't come close even if it actually was better than either or both of those. People don't work that way.

No, 3.x isn't like that, and it isn't like C&C either... or it could be for that matter, because the system is totally irrelevant. This is yet another case of applying double mindsets to different editions/games (the other common case is [insert system, eg Storyteller] players claiming that you...
