2) I need copies or information regarding the content of the R&D style guides used by WOTC for in-house design work. I am also looking for writer and graphic artist style guides for any WOTC product lines. If a WOTC employee can tell me how to attain this information it would be appreciated...

The Skirmish Tiles ad banner on ENWorld isn't working. A 'dot' is missing or out-of-place in the URL, so it doesn't take me to the site like it should. Tony

This has lots of potential. Maybe convince the town that there's a monster that needs killing (fake evidence, false testimony from a paid witness, you slaughter somebody's pig, etc.), then convince the town to pay you to kill the horrible monster. Then, later, present them with triple the...

A PC without family or friends is like a Blank Slate. That is appealing, I think. He is free to become whatever he becomes, based on his present and future. A PC with a past can be role-played 'wrong' in the VERY FIRST SESSION, however. For example, say you decide your PC gives half of his...

Cool. I am no longer the lone penguin adrift on this vast, featurless ice floe. Hey, all LotR elves have the feat, Never Trust a Human, giving them a Reflex save versus any human backstabbery. *rolls die* HA! The elf springs into the air, lands on a tree branch and disappears into the...

Wow, that's a nice-looking site. Thanks. *bookmark* :) Tony

Wha'? Your name is ELRIK! The Melnibonians are the ultimate racist race! They used humans for pipe organs! And-- Oh, you spelled Elric with a "K," not a "C." Still... Thanks. I did a quick search online and I am not understanding exactly what the Halls of Mandos are. It seems like...

Thanks for that informative, interesting post, Sigil. The soul of an elf dying along with his/her body is a waaay cool idea, and one I don't remember reading about in the LotR books (it's been a while since I read them). I know I'm missing your point by saying this, Sigil...but the idea of the...

LOL, some of you guys crack me up. :) . Ah-HAH! Thanks. No wonder I didn't rejoice at their demise (my usual reaction to dead elves). My wife said she felt extra sad about the elves dying, too, but mostly attributed her feelings to the elves being pretty and noble and that they created...

I was watching the LoTR DVD--the part where all the orcs are attacking Helm’s Deep--and I noticed something odd. When an elf died, I felt sadder than when a human died. Does anybody else feel this way when watching that movie? The elves' potentially long lives made their deaths more tragic...

Technically and legally 'new' ICE and 'old' ICE are different, sure. But a lot of the same people that were at the old ICE are back running the new one. For example, the New ICE quickly made a license deal with a company which is owned by some ex-ICE employees: Bruce Neidlinger, Heike Kubasch...

OOO! I love bashing bad DMs!! 15) I know the rules, have created a good, fun adventure, and can DM very well, but 90% of my interaction will be with my best friend or two, and you other people: please roll your dice on a piece of felt so I can find it easier to ignore you. Aaaaaa. THAT felt...

Man, baking bread for 6 months to learn focus and discipline is AWESOME. What a clever way to deliver the training. Tony M

Thanks for posting, Gnomish Tinkerer. Your DM, DragonLancer, has certainly been a shining example of diplomacy and courtesy in the face of the many well-meaning, passionate posts defending the underdog-Player. He must be a great DM to keep his cool like that. Regardless of who is right and...

Your god is well within his rights to punish your paladin, because gods can be obsessively strict and not care about context. But gods can also make cold, unemotional decisions that mess things up more than they help things out. Maybe your DM could have your PC 'hired' by a different god who...

Just what a control freak type of DM would say. Haha, kidding. Sorry for misunderstanding your post and implying that you were a control freak. Have you considered giving the guy's PC a -3 cursed weapon that he can't get rid of? Tony

Sound like he is trying to turn her in Conan with all that repetitive, difficult labor. Okay, you are looking for a punishment.... Maybe have the girl befriend a forest creature. Then have the creature dig a hole near where the girl rolls the iron ball. Then the creature conceals the pit...

You want total control over the game? But the Player's PC is chaotic, so his actions are hard to predict... And his PC can deal out serious damage, so he has many more options than a character who is afraid of dying... This sounds like a BIG problem. You want total control over the story...

In D&D, when I kill somebody, I search for money in every pocket and pouch, look in his mouth for gold teeth, check to see if anything is hidden in his boots, comb through his hair, and pat and squeeze over every inch of fabric until I'm positive I'm leaving nothing behind. In real life, I just...

In my Zogonia strip in Dragon Magazine, the Party Leader, Domato, spends most of his time between adventures looking for a new, exciting adventure for the party. Finishing an adventure is like being out of a job in Zogonia, and finding a new adventure can take months. Kev the Rogue spends his...
