    Level Progression

    Hockey mom?!? Leveling every 10-12 SESSIONS?!? Insanity.

    Advice? - First D&D with sons, ages 5 and 3

    Horrifying, utterly horrifnordifying. Brainwashing and such. You go, girlfriend!!

    Loo with a view..

    I'd love to take a dump in that box. To see you, people would have to really try to see inside, cupping their hands on the sides of their head. If they go to all that trouble...their loss. It occurs to me that it wouldn't work too well at night.

    White Wolf - Ending of World of Darkness

    Call of Cthulhu is a storytelling game. Maybe not Storyteller™, but that's just corporate semantics.

    What does the word "Vorpal" come from?

    Embiggens us? That's unpossible!

    What does the word "Vorpal" come from?

    So there's your explanation of how words get made. It's a question of which is to be master: us or the words. Now for some of those other words in "Jabberwocky," icluding brillig. Who indeed?

    Enterprise 02-11-04

    Tonight we get to see the never-before-revealed Vulcan technique known as Schowuz Jibouti. I really, really wish this show was on Cinemax, Friday, midnight.

    Enterprise 02-05-04

    Awwwwwww, yeah. All the goods. I wish Enterprise was on Showtime. I liked this episode. It was like an episode of The Prisoner, in reverse. I found myself sympathizing with the enemy. And waiting for Archer to say, with a droll smirk, "We want information!"

    Best Bad movies

    First, my own guilty pleasure: the remake of The Avengers. I happen to believe that it's bad in precisely the same way that the original series was bad. Yet the original series is great. Uma in a catsuit! Fiennes and Thurman just don't have the same chemistry as McNee and Riggs, though (or...

    Wielding the banhammer

    It wasn't one of yours.

    Wielding the banhammer

    I banned myself for a couple weeks one time. Realized I wasn't capable of playing nice at that time, so I just read a book and went for some walks. Then I was right as rain! I dunno about that. I've got one. :)

    My beefs with D20

    All right, let's try this once again for people who are conflating what I've said with what others have said, or just haven't bothered to understand what I've said because I'm yanking on the ears of D20 Bessie, their sacred cow. D20 has a lot of rules. The fact that the DM sets a DC for skill...

    204

    209. Cthulhu takes notice of the thread.

    My beefs with D20

    The system supports that behavior. That's self-evident, in my opinion.

    When should players challenge the DM and when should they be quiet?

    Everything the DM does is going to have a huge effect on the game. Like when you give your DM one hard time too many and he says, "You know what? You're all dead, and I quit." Better to concentrate on all the hard work your DM puts into running a game for you, rather than harassing him about...

    My beefs with D20

    OKay. So Fog Cloud, Acid Fog, Fireball, Detect Evil, Time Stop, Stoneskin, Haste and Cloudkill all use the same mechanic?

    My beefs with D20

    No, it's not funny, because you've apparently never had players who do nothing but read, re-read, and re-re-read the rules between every game session. (And then re-re-re-read the rules and chack the Rules Forum at EN World before the game.) They won't let you do things like that. You have to...
