Double post...

Because the morning (gifts, brunch) is finished, and dinner isn't for a few hours. Not much else -to- do, other than sit here browsing through my shiny new Complete Arcane. :D

Hooo billy. Not a bad little haul. - Rotary tool, goggles, detail brushes, paint - my new "DM's combat map prop-making toolkit". :D - New bedsheets. Incredibly soft, I may never leave my bed style sheets. - Enough snack food to choke a yeti. - The most comfortable pajamas known to man. - A...

EDIT: Fixed the issue. Ready to participate. *rubs new D&D books eagerly*

Still accepting new folks? EN long-time lurker, never even registered at the WotC forums...how many threads can a man check in a day? This place keeps me busy enough. More than half my life has included D&D in it, I was DM 90% of the time before my group had a "falling-out", and I'm addicted to...

Hmmmm. I find myself going the other direction, but that could be because even more so than D&D in general, I'm addicted to homebrewing worlds. I love taking a handful of random published crunch, smashing it together, and seeing what falls out. I'm one of those who mostly ignores fluff as...

Since I'd hate to leave anyone out.... May your particular chosen deity, deities, or supernatural force bless your winter-themed celebration in a manner befitting, and in accordance with, your personal wishes and belief structure. And allow me to echo the "thank you" to the whole pack of mods...

Originally, it's half of one of the named Boneguard - Bast-Imret - from Tailchaser's Song which is an excellent book if you like Watership Down-style novels - it's about cats. And ancient evil. The Boneguard are never fully explained, but appear to be undead cats. Hey, it's probably scary if...

I dunno, Cal...I mean, some of us may have more issues, but a potential future involving U.S. Federal Pound-Me-In-The-(ahem) prison sounds like the peak of Suck Mountain. Hmmmm. That's not actually helping, is it?

Anybody mind if I leap in here? I admit it....Christmas itself isn't being terrible to me. I'm far from home, at my mother's...and she's been trying to stuff me stupid for about a week now. So, it's not all bad, other than she's very into the holiday while I find it hollow, commercial and...

While the balor image is funny, for some reason I'm getting "Black Great Wyrm". With a normal-sized Santa hat, and a very un-amused look. This is ridiculous. I only ate the one reindeer...why should I have to pull the damn sleigh myself?

With you on all of the above. I'd sooner whip up a small town from scratch than explain why it has a 7th-level monk. I rarely use metamagic, and never as a player, except for Extend Spell with the old-school stat-buff spells. I've only used one PrC as a player - Bayushi Deceiver from OA - but...

From "woer" - 'faith, pledge' (a relative of English 'very' and German wahr 'true') and "loga" - 'liar' (a derivative of 'leogan', the ancestor of modern English 'lie'). More or less literally, "oath-breaker". However, when taken from Old Norse instead of Old English, the root is "varth-lokkr"...

And then you get the Romulans, and...what am I thinking...right. Pretty much EVERYTHING in Voyager (I know, not the best series, but...). In fact, Voyager gives me the example there...the Kazon (sp?). They remind me of space orcs. Brutal, violent, with a culture founded on internecine warfare...

Well, RC, that certainly answers my questions. I admit that while I read all the previous posts, there was simply -so much text- I couldn't make myself process it all at once, not just from you...these threads always lead to very long points. Personally, I think that's a great thing, and I've...

Mine are proactive all the time, but that could be because I don't keep them busy 100% of the time. The frontier areas and most of the major human lands have a standing bounty on the most common evil humanoids in the area, just in case a foursome of hard-edged adventurer types is in the...

A combination of Draconomicon and the Dune books made dragons make sense for me. Confused a touch? Lemme explain. First, let's redefine a few things. Let's suggest that both food and all products of civilization are, in this terminology, "energy"; wealth (coins, art, trade goods, etc), magical...

Interesting points all over, but this part struck me. Any chance I could get a look at this, either as another thread or email? I'm not happy with RAW alignment at all, but I would like something of a compass to work from; mostly for the aforementioned "face full of blasphemy". fedaykin at...

Well Jack, I gotta say I'm with you on these ones, and I sort of wrote under the assumption that "orcs" without qualifier implies RAW, evil orcs, working with the idea that any roving orcish warband is composed of evil individuals. Really, for the PC's at the time, there's no difference between...

Why is it that the most ridiculous monsters (grell, flumph, etc) from old editions inspire such love? I swear, in another 15 years, I'm starting a petition to bring back the phantom fungus.
