    [OT] RIAA vs. the world, round 2

    I read a story that since there are 60 million P2P users, it will take something like a couple hundred years for them to sue even 1 PERCENT of those file sharers at the rate of 75 subpoenas a day. Of course their strategy is to try and get the "bleed over" effect and hope that the people who...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Clerics - Mass Cure?

    Still waiting on my books (on order) but I am curious... The update docs say they will get "mass versions of cure and inflict spells that can be cast spontaneously." Can someone with the books detail what this entails? Thanks! --*Rob

    Does Entangle Stack?

    If two spell casters cast entangle over approximately the same area of effect - does it stack. One of my players is saying that it should stack per the Twin Spell feat - whereby the targets must save versus the DC TWICE. Anyone run into this? --*Rob

    Anyone got Dragon 310 yet?

    Curious what the DM screen is like. Haven't seen one report on it yet, and Dragon typically comes out 2nd week of the month. --*Rob

    Please Ease Up on OT Posting

    How about a separate "Off Topic" Forum. Lots of other boards do this, the off topic is a hang out place to talk about anything BUT the board's main purpose- which is what GENERAL seems to have almost become. Shouldn't we be deadling with D20 STUFF IN GENERAL on general board, rather then OT...

    [OT] today's random language gripe

    My current pet peeves are more about pronunciation: The word "nuclear" - it has three syllables - noo-clee-ar. I HATE when people say - Noo-kyul-er. Our president does. I hate him even more for making kids think its ok to say it that way. It's not. The word "jewelry" - it has the word...

    Dragon Magazine DM Screen issue ...?

    I'm just planning on picking up a second copy. You can't stop these mailmen from bending anything these days. --*Rob

    [OT] Help with annoying co-worker (or...amuse me before I go insane)

    Best suggestion of all: Tape record the co worker. Tape a LOT. Keep taping. Put the tape recorder in your boss' office when they step out to go to the copier or something. MAke sure it's in a place where they cannot find it easily. After a few minutes they'll go nuts, and get the point...

    [OT] It's too damn hot!

    Dude, your tolerance is pretty low. It isn't that hot in NJ right now. It's just freakin' humid. It's only 82 here in Piscataway. Put on the AC, or go get a window unit while it's early in the season and quit whinin'! You ain't felt hot till you've lived in Hong Kong. When I was there - 95...

    Father's Day Gift for a buddy

    Dragon Subscription is a great idea....as long as you have 3 months to wait for it to start.......Paizo's fulfillment company is notoriously slow, so I'd say he'd get his first issue in October. I'm NOT kidding. My gift sub from CHristmas started in March. My friend's gift sub from August...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Bull's Strength

    Was reading in Dragon that Bull's strength in 3.5 is now going to be 1 level per minute of effect instead of hour. I wonder if this is the same for other spells that affect ability scores like Cat's Grace, Owl's Wisdom, etc... ANyone know for sure? And what do you think of this? I'm not...

    Xbox or GamesCube or PS2?

    The "PS2 Version 2" will have the network adapter and IR built in and come with the DVD remote. That is all it will have added. You will be able to turn the unit off from the remote as well. That is ALL it will have. It will cost $199 The PSX is a different animal altogether -...

    Xbox or GamesCube or PS2?

    Ah yes! Hadn't thought about that - all the PS1 games that are available. Usually the kids don't much care about the graphics, and PS1 games are very cheap now (you can get used ones for under $5 at most game stores). Also most of the new titles being made for PS1 are kid games. Yes PS2 is...

    Xbox or GamesCube or PS2?

    Oh yes and did I mention PS2 will have DVD with Remote out of the box? (Xbox costs extra, GameCube doesn't use DVD discs). Good for the kids - especially if they game in a room that doesn't have a DVD player. Even better if you don't own a DVD player yet. --*Rob

    Xbox or GamesCube or PS2?

    I wouldn't consider that a BAD thing. What you're speaking of is simply built in IR, with remote for DVd playback, and included network adapter - so that online gaming becomes a no brainer. And since most online gaming is free on the PS2 - that one ups it over X-Box live. Now - as for a...
