    Which Pantheon do you use?

    I've always believed that I can have my Lovecraft and eat my Dark Sun too. Do you people actually use stats for your gods? :eek: ciaran

    What are your beefs with the d20 system?

    That's a DM's responsibility, isn't it? Shouldn't be d20's... Your call as a DM, again. It is only an assumption when you allow it to be one. This is a design issue. If burning villages occur in a vaccuum, then many villages will be burned by high level characters. If they don't, then you as a...

    What are your beefs with the d20 system?

    My beefs... 1) It's still a Tolkein ripoff 2) Memorisation (hey, what a waste of time) 3) PrCs 4) Attack of Opportunity rules (utter waste of time) 5) Stacking bonuses (another complete waste of time) ciaran

    DMs taking the piss out of own game

    I really dislike silliness in D&D games... I'd rather watch a sitcom. Although, you get a bunch of fellas together who're keen on relaxing by pretending to be different people who mostly tend to slaughter random strangers for items and "XPs", you're bound to get a BIT silly :D ciaran

    Er, Maybe Transfer Spell? -Help!

    Honestly, I think it's a bad idea. It's akin to changing "Range 0" on 2nd edition psionics to "Range Touch"... it'll make you sorry later, guaranteed. ciaran

    Revamping the Sorcerer

    Just hit delete. Dump the sorceror, give spontaneous casting to all spellcasters and watch how quickly an adventure gets going.... Memorisation is a tedious holdover from 1e. God :rolleyes: ciaran

    Laptop Buying Advice

    So, I decided to take out my battery before I took it to the shop. My VAIO turned on!!! I put the battery back in and everything's back to normal. Don't even know what happened....... :p ciaran

    Laptop Buying Advice

    1 3/4 years I've had it, got it new. It'll cost $50 to fix power supply (not Sony; local store). ciaran

    Laptop Buying Advice

    Hey, if it's still relevant... my VAIO died a few days ago. Not sure why. Out of warranty so it'll need some franklins to cure. ciaran

    Getting Rid of Level Drain

    Hey, you can go the other way too... instead of level draining (ie: penalising your PCs) have the undead GAIN abilities instead. Equally as scary without the loss.... just a suggestion. ciaran

    Getting Rid of Level Drain

    Totally correct... negative levels are usually worse than the actual level loss that may come a day later. ciaran

    How good at note-taking are your players?

    What if the guy's introducing complexity on the fly? Is that the same kind of bad? I'm just curious... ciaran

    How good at note-taking are your players?

    My game has a significant number of names/places/facts. We finally set up a collaborative system that pools this information together. The thing is, good names are hard to come by/come up with so I only name the people that matter. Unlike the real world, it sucks to have two "Sebastians" and so...

    AIEEE!!! CN is not insanity!!!!

    The 2e definition of CN is a legitimate behaviour-type. Whether or not players can accurately portray such a character is up to the DM (I as a DM restrict CN and CE on a general basis because most players cannot accurately play them... ie... they would have to be prepared to be killed for doing...

    Do you keep your Players in the Dark?

    One of my players asks me these things. Then again he sometimes asks me if he needs to roll to hit with a fireball, so something's going on there... :) ciaran
