And this is why the local gamestore with the dry erase tables is, and this is not an overstatement, THE BOMB.

I actually like base damage, speeds it up. I really don't like rolling big fat fistfuls of dice, its slow and bogs the game down like a mofo. Got hooked on average in HERO, especially with the option of partial rolling/partial average. Cuts the time down a lot. The OP was also giving out another...

Do the 49ers even have a team this year? As a Vikings fan I can say I wasn't surprised by the blowup Culpepper had in the 4th quarter. He's been screwing us like that for years. I think Miami is one of the most overrated teams in the league and playoff aspirations rather than the Division game...

My advice is to read some articles about deckbuilding on the cheap. Nate Heiss had a really good article for building decks for about 20 to 30 tickets(about 20 to 40 dollars, markets vary) for MTG:Online. Battle Royale over at www.starcitygames.com will show you how to build some cheaper decks...

I think the "NEVER" thing is getting taken the wrong way. I mean a permanent drop without explanation, like "What the hell happened to Jude? Is he ever coming back to game?" Happens online, where somebody won't post for hours, maybe even days, and the whole group is left wondering "Well, WTF? Is...

Hey, there is a pretty fun game over at the Vikings message board. You pick 4 teams to win versus a spread. A win is worth two points, a push is worth 1, and a loss is worth nothing. You just see the spread, pick your team, say if they're the home team by writing it in caps, and follow it with...

Cold, but fair. Sometimes you gotta be cold. I might be the outlier who has been shafted so many times by people who put things, even the trivial, far ahead of not just the game but their friends, that as a DM I will come down and I will come down HARD on this behavior. Its one of the main...

Yeah, that why I run them as diabolical hardasses. The Psionic Flayer is underCR by a little under 2 in my opinion. Oh well.

I don't know if I'm totally ruthless with most big bad evil guys. Not every boss is a super genius, some can just be 10 Int, or even 8, and just be combat savvy. I'm not going to play 11 Intelligence, 12 Wisdom, 8 Charisma beatsticks as 18s across the board mentally because thats cheesy and...

Its WOTC because I'm a huge attracter of flakes and droppers, as both runner and player, when it comes to D&D. It could be any number of things. More players, the games aren't as scarce so a player can afford to blow a group off, etc. The topic was also brought up at a WOTC board. I said my...

Why? Because whenever people talk about problems as a player or a DM with friends who always blow off sessions and ask for advice I don't sugar coat it. My way of thinking is screw the problem player. Well, problem person, as Fill in the Blank is too inconsiderate to even play. I understand...

TheGM: You're breaking my heart. The reroll the ones is like getting on your hands and knees and begging for a cheesy 35+ point character. Nobody thinks that has a real big effect on the game, but boy, it sure does. I'm stuck in my ways, I guess. I would never even consider anything other than...

I realize that, but people are saying ludicrous things like "I'm sure it was how he wanted to go." Yeah, he wanted to be envenomed and bayoneted by a bottom feeder. "Hey, it could have been worse!" Yeah, it could have been worse, but regardless, I'm pretty sure if asked Irwin wouldn't have put...

See, Firelance's post is exactly why I dislike roll fiddling, it produces monster PCs like that all the time. Thats nearly twice the points of what the game was balanced against. I don't see why rolling dice for stats is so fun, either, its like betting a month long campaign on the pass line and...

Eh, you heard how he went, right? A huge stingray whipped an 8 inch long, serrated, venom coated knife right through his heart. That sounds like a real lousy way to go. I watched him all the time with my family when I was younger. Personally, I always though a venomous snake was going to do him in.

Are you aware, biohazard, that your post is being discussed at www.rpg.net Might want to check it out.

Amen, Shadowslayer. http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/23149690/ My picture fu has always sucked, but I think that poster says it all.

See, I think more people should think like this because wacky is not a substitute for flavor. A fun thing I've done a few time with groups that go bonkers with wacky race, feat, class, skill, and spell choices is play an Elven archer or a sword and board Dwarf. Now thats flavor.

4d6, drop lowest results in about an average of 30 point buy, I believe. So offering 30 point buy does a few things that I like It ups the power of the party a bit: Everybody can choose the stats they want, and this keeps from those poor just barely making the cut and 5 point back outliers from...

This is like the Monster Geographica books. Condensed format, no artwork, monsters pulled and converted to 3.5 and sorted for CR 1/4 to CR 20, one for each environment. They're great books, love them to pieces. Is that what you're talking about, Felon?
