Clerics of good deities worship because they believe in the ideals which their god embodies, and so that they can get the power to push those ideals. Clerics of evil deities worship for power. Pretty simple. Common worshipers worship for all the reasons for which people worship in the real...

Nonono. I eat lots of pizza. Heck, I said that I'm not a cooked-cheese-eater, not that I'm not Italian. :D Ten years ago I told waiters to avoid putting cheese on my pizza; but as I said, I eventually got used to it. Today, it's actually the one single food where I feel that a bit of cheese...

Up until a few years ago, I couldn't stand cooked cheese. No matter what kind of cheese and how it is heated, I wouldn't eat it - but I eat cold cheese and drink milk all right (but not if it's been cooked beforehand!). I swear that, even after cooling down, it has a different taste and smell...

Argh, no option for "not me and not my PC either". Wait, maybe it's better that there isn't. :D

I wait until something cool pops up in my mind. A scene, a creature, a spell, an item, a story, whatever. Then I build a plot around it. Then I add twists until it is sufficiently devious. Then I try to foresee the most likely actions that the PCs will take, and plan for them. Finally, I make...

Let's put it another way. Chances are you've seen The Matrix. Picture something similar, except that the system is good enough that there is no way to become disconnected from the Matrix, and no way to become aware of it. Now you've got a universe which is entirely controlled by a...

I realize that I've only ever DMed AD&D. o_O

Agreed. Ipods and sports car don't make you happy - but not having any free time, not being able to afford medicines, and not being able to feed your family certainly makes you unhappy. I'm not very rich, but I'm glad I'm well above that.

I'm puzzled at the posters implying that this sort of thing is normal. Where I live, unprovoked beatings happen, but it is rare enough that it makes local newspapers, and neither I nor anyone I know personally has ever been involved in one. Is it really so bad that "you have never been jumped by...

I'm thinking about a fighter/cleric ettin. And... one of his heads is the fighter, the other is the cleric. Ooh, I simply have to use this. :D

Not really; Rilmani really work for balance while the LoS is at best misguided and more probably outright evil. One of Ducard's speeches in the second half of the movie says that they had already tried to destroy Gotham by ruining its economy. Basically, they created the current condition of the...

I invent my own character personalities, but I'll try to make the stats fit the personality. I really dislike rolling stats, because that prevents me from doing that... any power I have to influence my stats, I will use it to reflect the character's personality.

Between stuff I've DMed and creatures I've been a friend of, I can list (in order of increasing weirdness): Aasimar Tiefling Air Genasi Drow Githzerai Githyanki Ogre Troll Werebear Half-Celestial Half-Fiend Half-Dragon Astral Deva Hamatula Bodak Zelekhut Shambling Mound Edit: I forgot the...

"Smile! You're on candid camera!" :lol:

Why Boll again?!? Damn it! Why do they let him ruin what could be good franchises? House of the Dead, ok, not much plot there, but Alone in the Dark could have been a damn good movie! And Dungeon Siege, well, it got me bored before I completed it, but come on, a popcoron fantasy flick could...

If I could actually decide it, I'd pick "Big Crunch". It's less time than "Heat Death", but at least there'd be another universe some time afterwards. But I voted Ragnarok, because it's teh cool and humanity gets to survive, sorta.

Far too many kilometers. ;)

I've stolen the dwarf bread (a parody of lembas) from Discworld. It's the only bread that is smelted, rather than baked. They make it with sand in place of flour. They say that a loaf of dwarf bread can keep you going for months: just by thinking about it, your hunger vanishes. And it never goes...

AAAAGGGH! Italy release: 11th freakin' November! :( :( :( Why, oh gods, whyyyy?

IMC, grappling sees a lot of use. Grappling sucks at dealing damage... but it is great as a tactical option. Disrupt spellcasters, prevent people from fleeing, force opponents to attack you instead of your own casters, greatly reduce their damage output, provide sneak-attack opportunities for...
