    Enterprise - 04/22/05 [Spoiler Talk]

    The only thing more worthless than baseball is this dumbass team our taxes are paying for in D.C.

    Social Skills in d20: GM-requested or Player-suggested?

    Two things I've found, reading the D20 Modern and D&D 3.5 SRD pages: Sense Motive does not allow you to detect lies, nor does Bluffing usually take the form of a lie. Bluff is a momentary distraction of some sort, and Sense Motive is the defense against it. Also this, under Sense Motive in...

    Social Skills in d20: GM-requested or Player-suggested?

    Hmm. Cool. Lot of interesting ideas here. I always like getting a peek behind other people's GM screens. I wasn't quite able to express this so clearly, but I agree with you S'mon. My players have been trying to get me to "assume" use of the Dodge feat for years, but I keep telling them that I...

    Social Skills in d20: GM-requested or Player-suggested?

    Wulf's thread on the imminent TPKs of Barakus got me thinking about social skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Sense Motive, and Intimidate, to be specific. How are these handled in the campaign you run or play in? Situation A. Players meet NPCs. NPCs tell lies. DM rolls NPC Bluff behind the screen and...

    What happened to Karsus and Wulgreth? And other questions about FR-history.

    Try here. They've got the wrong cover image, but that's it.

    Everyone, Tell us about your games, please!

    1.) How many players in your group? Six. One is currently on hiatus for a job/house move. We cancel the game if more than one person can't show up, and watch a movie or play a tabletop game instead. 2.) Do you DM? As much as I can. Lately we've been running our games as "seasons" of a TV...

    What happened to Karsus and Wulgreth? And other questions about FR-history.

    In the old Lords of Darkness book (1e FR, I believe, or proto-2e), which is a collection of undead-themed adventures, you can find info about a Nether tomb north of Evereska in the Greycloak Hills. Two Nether Scrolls (Increase Intelligence & something about creating a new species) are detailed...

    Star Trek: Enterprise -[Spoiler Talk]- Stardate:501540

    Hated this episode, and I've been a pretty strong proponent of the series all along. Leave it to Enterprise to return from hiatus with an episode that makes you glad they cancelled it...sheesh.

    Expanded Psionics

    So what are my options for an expanded psionics system for D20 Modern? I've heard of Mind Over Matter, but I don't want a feat/skill-based system; I want Advanced Classes. What's out there? Thanks in advance.

    I m a girl get over it

    Indeed. People who don't think girls should play D&D at all are stating a belief. (Did anyone actually say that in this thread?) People who don't think girls should play in their specific D&D group are stating an opinion, probably based on prior experience. The former is, in my opinion, quite...

    I m a girl get over it

    I'm sensing a little hypocrisy here. You can apparently "spot" a gamer chick, but you hate stereotypes. I give up. :D

    Once again, KM, you have crystallized my unbound thoughts into something tangible. Speak it, brother!

    I m a girl get over it

    Okay...so you don't really want to play at all. You just want to raise a big stink over something you don't actually want to do anyway. What was that Bob Dylan song? "Just Like A Woman"? ;)

    I m a girl get over it

    I game a lot, but (as many people around here will attest to) I also enjoy drinking a few beers and yelling my head off at a hockey game (when there are hockey games to watch). I also write, love music, sing, play a little guitar, like to exercise, hang out with my wife and son, big film...

    24 4/11/05 (Spoilers, natch.)

    Heh. No, actually. I pointed out in last week's thread that this would be a pretty stupid plan, considering the fact that F-117A Stealth fighters aren't armed with air-to-air weapons. They carry laser-guided bombs and air-to-surface missiles usually, which are worthless for shooting down planes.

    I got an RPG job!

    LOL. "Can the heroes stop the evil Lord Glen Sather from throwing money at all his problems?!" Thanks for the well-wishing, folks. Gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I'll do my best, and if you're not satisfied we can have another thread where I get pilloried instead of lauded. :)

    I'm a murderer

    Nice ploy. What happens next is bound to be interesting, given the description of your GM. :)

    Thanks, all. I'm going to do my best. I'd do that anyway, but this time the material demands it!
