    Any brilliant tactical suggestions?

    It is the BUILDING we needed to make go away. Not the creatures defending it. It is some sort of a gate to Xoriat and as long as it is in EXISTENCE, it is a dire threat. It was actually referenced in the SH link, but I was really looking more for clever spell combinations or tactics for HL...

    Glen Cook on Black Company

    Glen Cook is certainly old enough to have earned the right to be a bit cranky. He also made most of his living working at a GM assembly plant, not writing books (one of the reasons there was so long a gap in the release of the books of the south). So he's probably not too inclined to have a lot...

    Any brilliant tactical suggestions?

    We had to destroy the Ziggurat, the building it's self. Not flood it or bury it. Make the building go away. The Ziggurat also had 5' thick walls that were at least as hard as adamantite, meaning each 5' block had something on the order of 2400 HP. So Earthquake which is only going to do 100 hp...

    I can not edit the title of my Storyhour

    When you say you can't change the title, do you mean that you have tried to do so and it failed or that there was no way for you to do it? If the latter, for some reason, something changed at some point and I had to click on "advanced options" to get ENWorld to show the title of the SH in order...

    Tell me about Star Fleet Battles

    I would avoid the Andromedans for now. Their stuff works considerably differently from anything else and you really need to know their stuff to use it correctly (or effectively). There is in fact an online version of SFB, which might be helpful for people who can't find local opponents. It's a...

    Rant -- GM Control, Taking it Too Far?

    There's always the old trick of just using the same "names" only translated into the equivalent in a foreign language like Chinese or Russian. Might take a bit of googling, but shouldn't be too hard. That said, this isn't the sort of thing where it's just about either you or the DM, being...

    Any brilliant tactical suggestions?

    The characters in question are here. http://www.enworld.org/forum/plots-places/182305-rogues-gallery-shilsens-saturday-story-hour.html In short, we are all 16th lv, there's a highly custom Alienist/Wiz (summoning focused), Two highly custom Druids, a Pal/Cleric/Silverflame Exorcist and a Scout...

    Underworld 3

    Very true, there is a sad, sad lack of mecha in american movies. Is it too much to hope the proposed Robotech live action film won't suck?

    Science Fantasy movies

    The Force in SW is basically magic by another name. The only thing that gets even close in Serenity is River's mind reading, but it's hardly a major plot element and Psi powers to a certain extent are considered "legit" for SciFi. Though they can verge on magic at times, there's typically a...

    Emmerich wins right to Asimov's Foundation

    Poor, poor Asimov. First, I Robot which basically was the anti- Asimov's Robot stories movie (the whole point of the 3 laws was to get past robots as a menace). Now Roland Emmerich gets his grubby hands on Foundation. I don't think it would be that difficult to update it, but not in Emmerich's...

    Comparing Platforms (aka How Does the Wii Stack Up?)

    It is worth noting that AFAIK neither of the current two models of the PS3 have backward compatibility with the PS2.

    Comparing Platforms (aka How Does the Wii Stack Up?)

    Er, Oblivion (and at least one expansion pack) are available for the PS3. So is Fallout 3 (oblivion derived) though the 360 is getting DLC for it and the PS3 isn't (at least not yet). Bioshock is out as well and it is looking like Bioshock 2 will be a crossplatform release. You might want to...

    Advice for A WoW Prodigal

    Yes, the speed of leveling for the intermediate levels has been increased significantly. Also, you can level to 80 (the current cap) without needing to do any instances.

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    That doesn't involve much... growing... of things. Besides they have terrible taste in shoes.

    They're hopeless at gardening.

    Good outsiders/planar allies to summon?

    How do you handle the bargaining aspects of the Planar Binding? Or is that just not really an issue with your Sorc's charisma. I've found the charisma check makes the spell essentially useless for a Wiz.

    PS3 v. X-Box 360: Which Is 'Net Ready?

    Both surf the net and both can serve as media hubs/player/streamer. Both can use a USB keyboard/mouse. Though not for games. Microsoft forbids it and while Sony does permit it, only one game (Unreal Tournament 3) supports it for some godforsaken reason. The PS3 has an edge if internet usage is...

    Good outsiders/planar allies to summon?

    There's the TRUMPET ARCHON, AVORAL, COUATL, GHAELE, LEONAL, LILLEND, Noble Djinn. Possibly an Inevitable ZELEKHUT. Don't forget that with PA, you aren't limited to stock creatures off out of the MM. You can use it to summon unique and/or advanced/templated versions of creatures. Templated...
