That bit over there. You know, next to the other one.

/me doesn't waste the time to reply to this drivel.

One thing you could consider is running property maintenance like a Skill Challenge.

Only MM races (until they get the Dragon treatment, then they are fair game).

Not sure whether this counts as "best DM ever" or "best dad ever". lol

Yes. The skill challenge mechanic encourages people to participate outside of combat who were... weak roleplayers in previous editions. It also limits, to some degree, the domination of tables by stronger personalities (such as myself). It makes a mechanics-based attempt to level the playing...

I love 4E. My favourite PC classes varied by edition, but were generally a mix of spellcasters and non-casters. My number one thing in 3.x was to dual-role (melee/healer, arcane/trapsmith, "tank"/battlefield control, etc). I was also the king of hogging the spotlight (Leadership, animal...

There he is. I've actually haroured a secret liking for the old bugger ever since way back when...

Nitpick time: spelled "within" wrong on image 3 in the top left. Also, something to look up: can you turn a close blast so that you are in the affected area? Say you have resist fire 15, and want to include yourself in your Burning Hands spell. Can you pick the start square to be on your...

Normally I disagree with you but understand your position. This one I'm not really getting though. Am I misreading this, or are you saying basically "There are too many choices, which leads to a lack of diversity"?

Hooray! Now it works on my big-boy computer, not just my baby laptop. :) Now I just need to port over the characters I made last night (and the custom portraits I found online and added to the folder)...

Regarding a gaming table. Keep in mind that space in the center of the table that nobody can reach is wasted space (a 7' by 7' table will have a lot of space nobody can reach). I've dreamed of my ideal gaming table, and it would be more-or-less kidney shaped, with the DM sitting in the...

Colour me tickled pink. My main PC is Vista 64, so it won't load here yet, but my laptop is XP and it works great. I was prepared to be bummed out by suckiness, but as it turns out it is super awesome. :)

I sense that you are becoming enthusastic again, after a period of less interesting issues. It seems like the general quality of the issues is increasing.

I started mine with a 14 Dex because Heavy Blade Mastery is too good to pass up. As it is, I'll still have to "waste" one of my level-up points on Dex to get to 17 by Epic. This means that in Hide he's only one point behind Chainmail, and still has full Speed.

Upon reading this thread, by the way, I ran out the door to my neighbourhood 24 hr Walmart and purchased said film. It was really good, on par with the first feature-length Futurama and better than the second one. I'm looking forward to hearing the commentary later today (after my signal...

I know a guy who plays a Rogue, and every time he hits, he explicitly says "I choose to do my sneak damage". I know another guy who plays a ranger, and always declares before rolling his Twin Strike that "the green d20 is my quarry attack", even after being told dozens of times that he can just...

If you've ever listened to any of the DVD commentaries for Futurama, they mention playing D&D many times. They also explain other math/physics jokes that even I didn't get, and I'm a graduate student in electrical engineering (my life revolves around calculus and statistics in an everyday sort...

Also ignores whether the target is prone or not...

The implied rule here, to be clear for a new Rogue player, is that you decide to add your sneak attack damage *after* you find out if you hit or not. Example: if you attack three targets with a Blinding Barrage, and the results are: Target One: Hit Target Two: Miss Target Three: Critical Hit...
