I played in one group when I was a teenager where the guys flat out began describing how they were feeling up the barmaids, whose main character trait appeared to be "they have big boobs." I left before they started describing actual intercourse. Had that been my introduction to gaming, it would...

Perhaps you would care to explain how those positions I mentioned (that is, positions explaining how objectifying women is perfectly all right) are entitled to the benefit of the doubt? Would you offer them the benefit of the doubt if they were, say, arguing that slavery is all right for those...

So because women don't tend to do things that we're socially and traditionally conditioned not to do, that means we inherently have no desire to do them? Out of curiousity, are you familiar with the term "mansplaining?"

None of the women I've ever gotten to try the game was particularly put off by the violence of it. This argument might hold more water if a huge subsection of gamer women didn't play inherently violent games like WOW. As it is, I think this is one of the more pernicious myths that get bandied about.

TanithT and Morrus have spoken extremely cogent arguments against the objectivication of women that I, at least, have experienced turning a number of women off gaming forever. I'd just like to say that the mere fact that many people can't see a problem with such behavior is appalling to me. They...

This spot has now been filled.

I'm running a Rise of the Runelords pbem game that, due to some players having trouble with logging into Yahoo Groups, has had a slow start. The Yahoo problems have been fixed, but we seem to have lost a player, and I'm looking for a replacement. Our posting rate isn't expected to be too...

I'm going to be running Rise of the Runelords for my Danish friends, but we're at least one player short. I'll be running it in English, but since the byplay will probably be in Danish, I'm hoping there are some Danes on this board who are interested. (However, if it comes to crunch time and I...

I can't seem to use the advancer - I get an error: (HTTP status 500) The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. Is it compatible with IE7?

Thanks El Madhi!

Do Arcane Sight / Detect Magic allow you to see the auras of magical items hidden inside or behind solid objects?

Arnwyn: I actually did find a generator based on the WSG online, but I couldn't get it to work (I just get an error message). This is the link: Dungeon Master Utilities Does this work for anyone else?

CharlesRyan: I'd like a generator because I have no real feel for believable weather patterns and because I'm lazy and don't want to have to keep track of it beyond checking a list in case the matter comes up in the game. If it were left up to me the weather would probably always be dry and...

Thanks for all your suggestions (and links)! I'll definitely look into them. Thanael, thanks for the generator link, it's just the sort of thing I was looking for. If anyone knows of a more modifiable generator, maybe a downloadable one, don't hesitate to link me! ;)

I've been wanting to generate weather that makes sense over a long period of time, so I don't get the "it's hot! now it's cold! now there's a tornado!" sort of weather most generators seem to supply. I'm thinking one that supplies temperature, precipitation, cloud cover and wind conditions over...

Thanks!

If one were to cast Magic Circle vs. Chaos, it would prevent enchantment effects - does that include all mind-affecting effects, such as fear from a Scare spell?

EDIT: Ok, I've tried to cut it down to the bare bones. Casting 50, 75 and 100% of a channeler's spells makes them sickened, fatigued and exhausted in turn, and a familiar halves the penalties. Any comments? I run a game in which channeling saps the strength of clerics and sorcerors, but the...

Thanks, I'll have a look there. - KA

Does anyone know what month in 1345 DR Jyordhan was slain by Khelben Arunsun? I know Daggerdale was occupied in Hammer, but I can't find the reference that listed the events by month. If anyone knows the sourcebook that mentions it, please let me know!
