Alas, we are on Khyber (formerly on Riedra before the Great Consolidation), with no immediate intent of switching. Losing our Favor from back in the day would make us all sad pandas.

I was originally in as a Founder at the launch, the problem was, my friends had vastly divergent schedules, and we found it hard to get a group time set down. So I quit...and so did all my friends. We've all come back with Free to Play, and while it looks like we may still have an issue...

"Heroes Release Agent of Apocalypse They Are Supposed to be Stopping" That's my favorite headline as a GM. You're mean. (golf clap)

Sounds like it's a separate issue then, best start it's own thread! Glad to hear someone else is getting their fair share of weirdness.

Things appear to be functioning normally and correctly now.

Just one problem with that....this was happening while search WAS still working. I tested it at the time of that post.

A strange occurence, which may or may not be related to the weirdness with the account designation: While all other site functions seem to work normally, when I click the New Posts link, I do not see new posts - but I do see 10 pages of links to wiki pages in the Vault. That's never happened...

You are disturbingly close to the mark - I have no idea why the babies like me, though. I'm certainly not looking for any! No problem!

Honesty being the best policy (except in big business), I figured people should know that there might be something up with how the site tracks and IDs CS accounts. I just noticed a little banner informing me that my account expired on the 17th. That matches my records the best I can tell, now...

I usually make sure to request my birthday as a vacation day so I don't even have to go to work. Then the nearest convenient evening, I invite people over to play console or board games, and bring pot luck food. That way I don't have to cook either.

I like the Campaign idea. It's very strong mythologically. And it's also open to a lot of different types of play - because there is the option for factional diplomacy, and investigation of crimes, and fighting off bandits and creatures, or allying with them. Lots of options, and every run you...

Something I learned early on in life, no matter how much you trust where you are...always lock your car. If you don't, the DAMNEDEST things happen.

Do you lock you car? I'm asking because if the guy was drunk AND picked the lock on your car, then he is officially extra special.

“I'm a Pepper, he's a Pepper, She's a Pepper, we're a Pepper, Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too? Be a Pepper ~ Drink Dr Pepper.” Think 1970's commercial music, and really that's all you need to know. If you ever get a song stuck in your head, a guaranteed clear brain comes from singing the...

I suggest equal retribution, and slap yourself upside the head everytime your brain does that to you. Either that or start singing the Dr. Pepper theme song in your mind until it learns it's lesson.

Who said use it as a dungeoncrawl, though. It's just there. And if the characters actually figure out it's there...that's just one more stress...what exactly are they protecting? Who's in charge of it? Is that were political prisoners disappear? What's the secret of the abandoned palace...

Having recently read some original Conan stories, if they are in a large urban city state, I'm reminded of "The Scarlet Citadel", wherein there is a horribly ancient dungeon under an equally ancient palace on a hill that isn't used by the local king. Twould be an excellent tie in to the horrors...

Ok, here's what I'd do... The set level with expenditures to buy specific improvements sounds good, but I would make it lower at first and grow to the maximum cost. Say 1/4 the costs you initially posted, then each time an improvement is bought, the cost for all improvements escalates. Use a...

Understood. My brutality comes from having spent many years DMing double-wide parties (6 to 9 players) which gives them A LOT of bacon saving abilities. So I tend to give them lots of bacon saving opportunities.

I always just wing it after a little die rolling on a chart of mine own: 1-2____Poof! Nada. Zip. Zilch. 3-4____Choke! 1/4 power, looks weird. 5-6____Hack! 1/2 power, looks funky. 7______Hey! It worked! Cool. Cosmetic side effect. 8-9____Generally useless effect. Have I involved hamsters yet...
