    So I was more or less kicked out of my D&D group

    There's would be no reason to edit now, as you've quoted the portion that you would probably want edited. ;) However, what you quoted was put forth as a question, not an accusation. If it's taken as the latter, I apologize. The entire discussion seems to revolve around whether or not the...

    So I was more or less kicked out of my D&D group

    If you read the first message in this thread you will find ... "Well a week later I decide I'd like to spend a quiet evening at home for a change and call up the group to tell them I wont be there tonight." He didn't call in advance, he called to let them know that he wouldn't be there THAT...

    So I was more or less kicked out of my D&D group

    I spent a considerable amount of time on a message explaining the need for, and existance of, social contracts in day to day life and then decided that it's just not worth the time or effort for someone who obviously doesn't care. It's rather simple. People are either considerate, or they're...

    So I was more or less kicked out of my D&D group

    The DM sounds like a real jerk, but, I'd be a lot more sympathetic if I hadn't had players like you in the past. Have you ever heard of the term 'social contract'? When you are part of a group there is an implied 'social contract', or set of rules that all people who are part of that group...

    [OT] Naming a child Arwen

    Children do not want to be seen, or pointed out as, different. Children want to fit in, and want to feel like they are part of their peer group. Children are already cruel enough to one another, why give them yet another reason to inflict that cruelty on one another? How many of you remember...

    [OT] Naming a child Arwen

    I knew a family that named their daughter 'Free' because they were on 'welfare' when she was born and the entire process cost them nothing. They thought that it was extremely witty. I feel incredibly sorry for children whose parents are unable to make an intelligence check when it comes time...

    No end to polymorph self?

    Ah, but we CAN role-play ignoring moderators, right? :) (see meta thread regarding tag filtering if reference is not understood)

    New Haste - Does it Fix Your Concerns?

    I implemented the changes to this spell, and the changes to Shield, as soon as I read them in d20 Modern. I was expecting some resistance from the players when I first mentioned the possible changes, but instead received their full support. Nobody misses seeing the Sorcerer cast three spells a...

    I *almost* bought an Avalanche Press book

    I would never buy a product that I would be ashamed of reading in front of my children.

    Block or Filter by [TAG]

    Is there a way to block or filter message threads which contain a certain [TAG]? If not, would it be possible to implement this in the future? This would solve the "I hate hivemind, or whatever else I'm hating today or this week." problem. Personally, I'd love to be able to filter out all...

    D20M Auto-Calculating Character Sheet

    I played around a bit and you are correct, Defense IS tied to Dex, but it doesn't update immediately when I enter a value into Dex. I have to enter another value into another field before Defense updates. Try this. 1. Load up a blank copy of the character sheet. 2. Change your Dex to 15...

    D20M Auto-Calculating Character Sheet

    I just noticed that Defense is tied to Constitution instead of Dexterity. Is this the way it is supposed to be?

    Thanks for the character sheet. I appreciate the work you put into it.

    What makes a fight last longer?

    Bestow Curse (which has already been mentioned) and Blindness are very effective ways to slow down the party.

    Rolling all 18s

    Never done it or seen it. Never heard anybody claim it until I read this thread. Using the method in Unearthed Arcana (based on class) I rolled many characters with three 18's, a few with four. Using 3d6 (re-roll the 1's) or 4d6 (drop lowest) I've never rolled more than three 18's.

    Traveller D20

    I was saddened to hear that you can no longer die during character generation. The one truly unique (at the time, and maybe still) part of the game is gone.

    RPG Piracy

    Let me start off by saying that I firmly believe in economic darwinism. Those companies that can produce the best products, at the best price point, with the least amount of overhead should survive and prosper. Monte Cook is a shining example of this. Yes, I realize that there would be fewer...
