I played with the demo that came with Dragon - and I just have one question: Where can I find out who did the voices for the characters? Actually it looks pretty cool, and the only bad thing I can say about it is I HATE Mialee's voice - she sounda almost valley-girl-ish. Otherwise it's pretty...

It should be at: http://www.completestrategygaming.com/ShoreCon However, it looks as if the site is down as the parent domain: http://www.completestrategygaming.com/ COmes up with a page that looks like something their hosting provider provides. I'd check that page ina day or two - or call...

We were talking about this with my group a few weeks ago. We'll all be retired to Florida -sitting around the clubhouse of the retirement community playing D&D. Yeah its weird to picture - but if you think about what technological advancements will be made by then - will the young people of...

ANother "origin" Here's another "origin" which fits rather well: Does the statement, "We've always done it that way" ring any bells...? The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because...

As someone said earlier - there aren't as many crunchy bits- but more in the way of spells. Create your own "prestige class" and create your own "preferences" of spells to use. I play a chaotic good cleric of Zeus. His preferences run toward the chaotic spells. When I summon - I tend to have...

We try and stay away from TOO MUCH junk food: Grapes Goldfish M&M's Cheese (usually a marinated mozzarella or mozz & pepperoni roll - or some other variety - Gouda, cheddar, etc..) Other fruit - apples, oranges, plums, etc... Drinks: I always get a slurpee before the game. Rest of the group...

- Back it up - Remove the HD - Pack it well - Ship it Fed Ex - Insure it. It will likely costs you upwards of $100 to ship it, but that's still well worth it. Or - you could just put that $100 towards a downpayment on a financed laptop. Then you'd have the laptop as carry-on, AND even be...

I'll give credit where credit's due - Samnell was the DM of the first PBEM I ever played in -and he "showed all his work" too... Which is of course where I got the idea from..... <waves back to Samnell> --*Rob

I play in one RL game, DM two PBEM's (in the same world of my creation) and play in another PBEM. I have to say that initially it wasn't easy to get into a GOOD PBEM to play in. A lot of them DO evaporate due to lack of enthusiasm - but once you get into a decent one where everyone has...

For those who like to use paper models for their campaigns: http://home.attbi.com/~ravensblight/papertoys.html There are models of a graveyard, a manor house, and a bunch of coffins. They're a bit large - but you can just scale the graphics down in a graphics program, print 'em and assemble...

I'm in the Big Brother program and introduced my little bro to D&D (He's 11). He "gets it" and can min/max better then I can! --*Rob

Being INFJ - and having known about it for quite a while - I'm not surprised. The percentages do line up with approximately the real life percentages thus far - INFJ being the rarest of all at about 3% of the population. And any other INFJ's out there - there is an INFJ listserv - go to...

I've alwas hated the fact that in most worlds healing potions are available like Coca-Cola is down at the corner store. It takes Xp from a cleric to create them - they are a valuable commodity and they should not be THAT common. They are something special. --*Rob

Actually, at 9th level my character has brew potion and I have found it to be VEry useful. The XP hit is minimal when compared with the extra safety you can get from brewing healing potions. I brewed up a few potions for each party member - Cure serious at caster level 5 (which is almost half...

I'll agree - put it in Wisdom. The long term benefits are greater with regard to spells. You can boost your other stats later. But now that I've said my min/max piece - let's look at it this way - what is this CHARACTER like? What makes him tick? What are his goals? THAT should be...

Playing a 9th level Cleric of Zeus right now (converted over from our 1st edition campaign) and enjoying it quite a bit. Clerics are versatile, and if you build them up right they can be both excellent in combat and spell casting. --*Rob

Is the ENWorld Players' Journal at distributors or in stores? I ask because I ordered it through my online comic shop (www.mycomicshop.com) and they still show that they haven't received it. I'm sure they get their stuff from Diamond Comics Distributors. Has it been shipped to distributors...

Heh. Well - it's PBEM game, and I think she was being a bit fancy in her role playing, but I didn't want to just let it go at a simple jump check. It's also fun to figure out how to make these things work in D20.... --*Rob

Have a player trying to pole vault over a pit - she is using her staff - staff will come down before the pit (5 foot wide pit) and she will propel herself over it. Not sure if I should use a standard jump check here. I'm thinking there could be a penalty if she mis-places her staff - she could...

Found it already - look to the left of this post! By the way if you hadn't gone there yet - go read Strongbad's emails - particularly the dragon one.... I won't give it away.... --*Rob
