Very withdrawn IMO. Of course most of us think they used to game at work becaue they left the room and sign off frequently in the past. This person is not a moron but I do think they aren't a flambouyant player as I am. I sink a lot into backgrounds etc in all my characters. It's part of...

Currently I am down to one game a week. I love the game and I play my favorite character (3E/3.5E wise). However, I was a little shocked to find out another player's XPs are very near perhaps more than mine. Why am I upset? Let me count the ways......... I am an active roleplayer at all times...

I was introduced to D&D by my parents who were introduced by friends of theirs. Those people are now my son's God Parents and good friends of mine depite the age gap. Sadly, we haven't all gamed together in years but those campaigns still bring grins to both my husband and mine's lips. I miss...

Well this is certainly not true. I have a ranger (8th level when we as a group decided to try something else) who nearly died, as in dropped below 0HPs, several times. Once by a party member possessed by an evil sword. Gutted me in one swing. In the game I DM (currently on Hiatus) my players...

We have a person in our Sunday group (online of course) who can't seem to play a 'normal' character. The first game the DM ran, the person played some created class of his. Don't get me wrong, he sent me the 'make-up' of the class and everything and the guy put a lot of work into it...

Hmmm....this happened in a game I was in. My rogue taunted the barbarian in the party. Of course there were these fine steel bars between us. ::looks innocently:: Hey he was trapped and I was just trying to help him escape by peving him off. In your game, the barbarian did warn the rogue. I...

Well you could always shove the cleric forward and say "you go first" but seriously, just because your a rogue doesn't mean you can't do much in an undead world. Take flanking for one thing. You can use your Sneak Attack ability if the creature is flanked. From what I've read, nothing says...

I had a few problems in the game I DM from a couple of players that prompted mme to write up some gaming/house rules of conduct. Here's one that would imply for this situation: 10) CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS This is best described in an example: You walk into town and go into the local...

I had one character use the word 'frell' from Farscape a lot. She had quite the mouth ;) The character(s) I currently play aren't as 'harsh' but I 'borrowed' something akin to my Ren Faire days (IE God's Teeth!) but put it to the Forgotten Realms setting: Sweet Tap Dancing Tymora! (okay, I...

IMO, there should be something for rogues, who more often than not live in cities, to know the place like the back of their hand. Sure you can spend the skill points on Knowledge of the area I guess. I don't much care that they lump Read Lips into Spot. I made my rogue the Diplomatic/Sneaky...

I tried a pre-made adventure once. ONCE. I find the demented things in my head are far more enjoyable to the party as a whole than the ones written down. The only thing that I find tiresome is making a map sometimes. I guess I'm guess too lazy to scan it in for the players (I play online)...

Currently I use PCGen by Code Monkey Publishing. OF course now that our campaign is whoring towards 3.5, I'll have to wing it or get off my lazy butt and find a new one. Blah, where's my icon for Excel?

Whether or not it is an agreement with the bank about signing the cards, I work in a place where only the military can shop. A lot of them are told, especially in bigger areas such as Norfolk, not to sign their cards but to put PLEASE SEE ID on the back. I believe that a clerk should have to...

So I waited with baited breath for that "Items Shipped" to come and when it did, I was like a kid waiting to hear the ice cream truck coming down the street. Look! Look! They're at a post office only two hours away! They'll be here tomorrow! This was me on Tuesday. Wednesday I get home and...

Don't knock it until you try it. My core "round table" D&D buds stopped playing so my husband and I tried a new route. On-line gaming. No more driving thiry minutes to play or hoping you don't fall alseep behind the wheel after a marathlon session. As far as faceless? We've meet some of the...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Wal-Mart Rulz! Amazon Droolz! Technically you're saving around 37%. The first 30% of their standard discount comes off and then the additional 10% off of that. Anywho, my books are on their way here from Amazon (YAY!) and I'll prolly see them nestled on the porch awaiting my...

My Amazon account says "Not Shipped Yet". They've got until next week to get it here or I'm canceling. It's time for the annual family vacation and they've got this sweet gaming shop called Jester's Playhouse. We always find something we MUST have there and if Amazon can't sate our appetite...

I use my own system. You get 80pts to spread out. No score above 18 including racial bonuses. I find my players will put an 18 somewhere but then again, I use this same system when creating any 'bad guys' I put against them. If the campaign shifts gears or the players want to try something...

Re: Re: Re: Re: 2E Thief/3E Rogue Here. Here. Kastil is not a rogue by choice but because it is a means to survive where he grew up. Kind of like in real life, you use the skills you are good at to get by. The player in the game has decided to play a thieving type rogue and a halfling to...

You know, looking over the skills section in the PHB, any class can SEARCH for a trap and then render it harmless. Sure, they're cross skills but not completely 'taboo' to the other classes. In fact, a fighter in the group did take ranks in OPEN LOCKS. This of course made most of the party...
