You do not really seem interested in what we have to say, or whether or not we agree with you. You have merely stated your inflexible position for others to see. Regardless of that, here is my supporting evidence and opinion. PC's do not spend the 16 - 100 years prior to starting their...

My players have just reached the level where this adventure is appropriate. Once they rescue a captured companion from Ogres and Frost Giants they will meet up with your fabulous construct.

Six Six. Unless, as you say, one or more of them were pretending to be unconscious to avoid getting hit again. They all seemed genuinely unconscious. Every fight I was in was self-defense. With multiple witnesses, and adult witnesses in more than one case, I was always exonerated. In no...

My elementary and junior high school years were spent in an accelerated learning program for gifted children. I was bussed across town to a school that happened to be situated in the poorest part of town. As a fat, nerdy, white kid I learned very early on that I didn't want to be the focus for...

You know, first somebody calls me silly (another thread), and now I'm somebody's puppet. I'm not sure that I like where this is headed. :)

I agree with you completely. Also, I'd really like to hear what he has to say about all of this.

Yes, you have to decide to do lethal damage and, at that point, you then suffer a -4 penalty to hit. I guess it's just a slap fight right up to the moment you decide to take it lethal.

If you think that's bad, consider this. When we first started with 3rd edition the previous DM told us that CR was equivilent to character level. He assured us that he knew the rules. He wanted to let us try out using creatures as characters and told us to pick something that was 20th level...

Oh, I'm sure that the trolls will still do their thing, but it might help in cases where a person has a momentary lapse of judgement and posts something that goes over the line. It's a shame to see a good thread closed in that case.

Speaking from personal experience, they seem to be deleting individual messages rather than closing entire threads. A kinder, gentler form of moderating? Or, an attempt to curtail people who purposely get threads locked? Whatever the reason, it seems to be working.

Thanks for replying! What is it about gaming that makes you feel that way? I know what some of the common reasons are, but I'd love to hear yours. Thanks.

Nothing. Sometimes you see the line, but you just don't stop in time. In this case, I obviously crossed the line. I came back later to remove the more inflammatory stuff, as I've done a few times in the past, but you had already done your job by then. I'm glad that you deleted my post rather...

I've watched a few of the reality type shows where they go into an adult bookstore with an obvious video camera and start taping the people inside. They scatter, pull their coats over their heads, turn away, and run. Within seconds the store is empty. I've often wondered what the scene would...

I really wish that he would stop trying to use 'real life' to justify the non-lethal combat system. He is obviously wrong and his repeated attempts to prove otherwise are in vain. I don't know where or when he grew up, but in the schoolyard where I grew up, you beat the other guy down. It...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Thank You and more . . . One important point (concerning software) is that you must buy the original product before you can modify it. You can only use the protections contained within the EULA if you have purchased the software. At that point they already have your...

A few friends and a few acquaintances. It's difficult because I work nights and everybody else works during the day. I just don't have time to do stuff except for the regular Saturday game session.

Yeah, you're right, those 13 year olds have much more money to spend on these products than I do! What was I thinking?

Oh the humanity! Not being able to read possibly offensive material at work! Where will it end, where will it end?!? It's sad that you would rank "Choice of reading material." over "Providing for my family." on your list of priorities.

That sums it up 100% for me.
