Yesterday, the PCs were supposed to go into a mysterious tower to look for supplies for a trip through a barren land. Instead, they decided to take the long way through the jungle instead. So now I've got a mysterious tower which went unused. But this simply means that I'll find some other...

I don't think that it's a problem that's going to go away any time soon. Currently, it takes far more effort to protect something from piracy than what it takes to elude the protections. I auspicate some paradigm shift in the economics of art and literature that will remove the reasons for...

Likely. That's why I don't mock sports jocks (unless they bother me). The author above is quite right; all these hobbies teach how to deal with complexity and fast evolution, which are vital skills nowadays.

With, ah, LARPing? :eek: ;)

It depends on the paladin. If I were the player and the character was an average paladin played by me, I'd bury the body and keep the items. Then, if the dead character has a family, I'll try to find time ASAP to get to the family, return any family heirlooms, and offer some money if they need...

Curvatura is warp (I think "bend" would be more accurate though), but curvatura followed by a number is fairly specifically the Star Trek drive velocity measure. ;)

It was like this from OD&D to 2E. Given the relatively limited amount of things influencing hit points in those editions, giving a fixed amount of hit points would have caused many creatures to have exactly the same hits. Me, I don't think this is a problem. And in 3.X there are enough...

"Ok. Please, write 'plot bitch' on the back of your sheet." :]

According to old Planescape cosmology, the souls of dead sentients travel through the Astral, losing their memories in the process, and end up somewhere on an Outer Plane according to deity or alignment. If they are raised, they pick up "most of" their lost memories on the way back, provided...

Hey, I remember alladvantage too! That one wasn't a scam (it was just not enough money IMO) - but they didn't contact me by email. My policy of feeding all mass-sent email to the ever-hungry trash can regardless of content has not failed me once up to now.

It's a problem. What I do is giving people no more than ten seconds, when their turn comes, to declare an action; no buts, no ifs, and this includes your summoned creatures and similar companions. That's only part of the problem though. The other big part is counting modifiers. D&D has too many...

I don't know about specific laws, but I know of places that will throw you out if you are obnoxious and refuse to behave, without being private clubs (which have a lot more freedom in the way of throwing out people). It's a pity that they are a bit out of my financial league, though not so much...

Thanks the mods, in all their glory, amen. :cool: I've started a Ultima Online shard a couple months ago, and I have this to say. Managing a site and trashing the occasional hate mail is easy. Moderating a closed board is easy. Moderating an open board about a project that noone cares about...

Hot damn. I can't describe how astonished I felt reading that people would boycott a place for instituing a rule which ought to be obvious. For some people, the world is really "me, myself and I" and the rights are "my rights". The day I see with my eyes a restaurant owner throwing out an...

Unlimited agents would look far too weird to the rest of the Matrix humans. They sent SWAT because that's what stereotypical-FBI-looking-law-enforcement-persons do. I strongly suspect that exposing "sleepers" to unexplainable situations greatly increases the chances that they eventually realize...

Scams, spams, and scums. The vanishingly small chance that one of them is genuine isn't worth the time to read all of them. My trash folder grows fat on them.

I'm in a hurry right now, but consider it done. :)

All fear the ToL's mighty breath weapon. That is smaller than itself. And deals 3d6 damage. Does that count as a +1 CR? :lol:

What's in that layer? Hinges? Claps?
