    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    Noriaki looks up at Pezock, his hand going to his hip. "Numbers count for little, when a true warrior takes the field." Noriaki nods at Takahaan's plan. "We smaller warriors can be concealed easier, this is true. Besides, an injured warrior seems more believable than a lone musician."

    A paradox? An unexplained mystery? A Hoax? We may never know.

    D&D, Technology, and Planned Obsolescence

    I think there is an important difference between D3 and 4e here. D3 must be played either online or cracked. 4e can be played entirely offline without piracy. How would DDi being dropped affect me? well, I could finally get the players I've been browbeating to write out their character...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook working on 5E?

    :D That's true. And Cook could end up working on 5e, I just still think it's too soon. The 3e crowd has Paizo, and Paizo is doing quite well. It'd be a smarter move to make the best of 4e for now and see if the winds change. I think that's true for a certain subset of players. But I also...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook working on 5E?

    I'll take you up on that. Shall we say 2 years to the mark? October 2nd, 2013? Loser changes sig to "I was wrong about 5e." I'd seal it with a handshake, but, you know, internet. Really, though, I can see thinking that 4e wasn't the groundbreaking success they thought it would be, but I'm...

    D&D 5E (2014) Monte Cook working on 5E?

    So you found a post by someone who claims that she heard from someone who heard from Monte that he is working on 5e? With all due respect, you'll have to forgive me for remaining skeptical.

    [Adventure] Little Workshop of Horrors (Judge: stonegod)

    'Gah! Watch it, boy, you almost dropped that one on me!" Canus calls out as the mortar falls. Thinking quickly, he leaps over the corpse, kicks off of the wall and drives his swordtip into the remaining foe, leaving a trail of snow in his wake. As the blade pierces twisted flesh, light...

    4e doesn't require a big open space for fights any more than 1e did. That is, it was terrible, boring terrain in both of them. I haven't seen the maps for that module, but I'd likely try to open them up a bit regardless of what edition I was playing, unless there was a definite "cramped old...

    [Adventure] Trouble in Daunton (DM: Nebten, Judge: Currently Looking)

    Howler looks at the sarcophagus in anticipation, and draws his swords. "If what ye be needin' is a decent bit o' scrap, dove, I know the feelin'."

    I don't believe you. That simply isn't possible.

    What's stopping WOTC from going back to 3.5?

    Funnily enough, I prefer 4e and own a cat.

    What stops WotC from *also* selling 3.5?

    I actually have gotten a few good condition books online. Pages all there, not written in, etc. And I paid usually less than $10, and never more than full price(for a new book). But even so, that just splinters the potential market for these books another step. You need not only people who...

    Alignment Question - Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil?

    Steel Wind has the right of it. Alignment is completely irrelevant to the situation. The barbarian's player was being a jerk, not just to the other characters but to the other players. The DM decided to help him. Well, he's new, and I do like to give new people second chances, but that...

    [Adventure] Trouble in Daunton (DM: Nebten, Judge: Currently Looking)

    Howler is not bleeding, his armor and natural agility having turned the worst of the piercers blows from gashes into future bruises. He sees the tears in Vayne's clothing, and thinks, "Looks like she got lucky. Damn, I was too busy beating that priest around the neck to make sure til now...

    Koukonsögur - Saga of the Trollfed Aerie - IC

    Satoshi looks up at Dossk. "I suppose this isn't the best time for a long conversation. That goblin is getting away, and if there's a chance he's preventing our Thegn- sorry, late Thegn, from entering the afterlife, we've got to stop him. Still, I don't fancy my chances of making it down...

    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    Noriaki listens to Pezock's tale, but seems distracted. As the bird continues on, all Noriaki can think about is their own camp, about Sasha and Ishirou getting torn apart. He begins to look even paler than usual. He speaks up, his voice trembling slightly. "We will kill them, Kane. But...

    [IC] WD's Dragonfist

    Song bows politely. "We are sorry for arriving unexpected and uninvited. Please forgive our rudeness."

    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    Noriaki goes along with this, leaving his sword by the crab's claw as he climbs inside.

    Situationally Lawful Stupid, Awful Good, And Kleptomaniacal

    There are a lot of these character flaws that can create inter-party conflict, and in my experience, whether or not it 'works'(as in, doesn't cause players to be mad at one another) is largely dependent on whether or not the players in question are in on it. Take an example. One of the...
