    Have the third-party d20 publishers failed?

    I've found tons of excellent 3rd party stuff. And a lot of craptastic stuff too. Checking reviews such as those found here and on other sites is an excellent way of narrowing down to the good items. I also think that most of the D20 publishers, not including the big ones like FFG, AEG...

    Are gamers really that pathetic?

    I think it's conventions. I started gaming when I was 10, but socially I sure didn't suffer at all in school or in my adult life (not that I advertised that I was a gamer). I've never been to a game Con, though, so I'm just guessing, based off my own viewpoint on it.

    Ridiculous crap

    My party once killed a demon far too tough for them to fight directly, by filling a bag of holding with holy water and having one PC spiderclimb to the top of a cavern, then luring the demon to blink in directly beneath. Dousing with holy water was quite spectacular! And messy. Anyway... I...

    Site... grinding to... halt...

    I agree with Joshua. The timing of GenCon goesn't seem to have been a factor, as it has been sluggish before and during the Con. Or if it hasn't, then I'm just crazy or something :)

    Guys playing girls (chime in, ladies)

    Just painful. I am a guy, but how screwed up do I have to be to be in the top 7% ?? I've had a lot of gay friends over the years, and probably as many female friends as male, so I'd have thought myself more in the middle. Not that the test itself is proven or anything :) Amusing...

    Looking for old clip art collection PDF

    Absolutely. I'm really excited about this idea you have going on, following the rest of this thread.

    The Soundtrack to Nerdery

    You made me cry. You made me laugh. You made me search for my copy of the album. Damn you! :D

    Opportunity Knocks VIII - Aug 29th (Completed)

    Well, my ISP claims the problem is resolved and I haven't lost internet yet today, which is promising. Although the problem has been going on to one degree or another since February, so I'm reserving judgement for a day or two...

    Guys playing girls (chime in, ladies)

    This is a trainwreck waiting to happen. But - I usually immediately disbelieve any female PC that is overtly and overly sexual. I have known some women who were, particularly when I was in my late teens, early 20s, but there you go.

    That city... on the coast...

    When you went through it before to go fight in the Lorlynia orc wars, the city on the coast was a city-state, independant. You didn't spend any time there, just hired immediately out to a captain for the trip to Lorlynia. There was an adequate system of settlements along the river to make...

    Opportunity Knocks VIII - Aug 29th (Completed)

    Yes! But, this game is delayed until next weekend because of my lousy internet access :(

    Opportunity knocks VIII

    My internet access is flickering. Well, it's been down the last roughly hour, but back to flickering. I won't be able to run a game this weekend :(

    SRD Woes

    OpenOffice works splendidly for all kinds of things. Heavy formatting may be a problem, but WotC doesn't heavily format anything electronic that I've seen :) Track Changes plain breaks in OpenOffice. But - for a normal person's purposes, OpenOffice will probably be all that and a bag of...

    How do you handle loot?

    I use completely random, tweaked for regional tendencies. However, most magic is in the hands of NPCs who realize that hey, this stuff makes them more powerful...

    Amber

    Oh yeah. Also, the powergamer may tend to get a bit bored. Player: "I create a race of rat-men and invade that entire plane! I demolish all! Buahahah!" DM: "Ok. It's dead. Now what?" As you can see, it takes a slightly different approach to gaming.

    For More Than Glory (Emiricol's Campaign)

    Good timing then. So, anyone else want to take a whack at DMing for an adventure?

    For More Than Glory

    Meier spends that five days being mostly useless, and trying desperately not to whine about it. Still, he stands sentry a lot - nothing else to do after all - freeing others up for more time on whatever tasks are at hand.

    Opportunity Knocks VIII - Aug 29th (Completed)

    With the break in plots and advancing the calendar to catch up with the official timeline, it presents an excellent opportunity for her to bring in the new PC. Timing is everything!
