    What monster killed your first PC?

    A slaad of some sort... killed half the group.... We were, like, level 4 at the time, and none of us knew what we were doing. Evidence: I was playing an ORC MAGE. ...

    3 - Snow White (from the comic series Fables, by Bill Willingham) When the Adversary drove the Fables from the world, some one had to maintain order. In their new home, nestled in an unassuming section of New York City, the government must be efficient, to prevent the knowledge of their...

    Is your name unique?

    This one is not at all unique, but the one I normally use is totally unique, it being Arxilius. I think it's because I invented the name. It's a fusion of latin words, meaning His Own Art.

    The Great Sidekick Showdown! Nominate Here

    #14 - Cassandra Cain - Batgirl #2 Cassandra was raised (by the hitman David Cain) to be a perfect killer, to read people's movements as if they were spoken words. After an odd series of events, she was taken in by Oracle, and began working with Batman as the second Batgirl (because Huntress...

    City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn VIII

    Eroin of the Ironwood Hand, Elf Monk 1 "I will assist as well," announces Eroin, emerging from her room looking ever-so-slightly less like a drowned rat. She approaches the bar. "I'm not a swimmer, but they did say we would be on land."

    Another "Have You Ever Had This Player?" Discussion

    I had some inside info that the Deinonychus would become my mount, but that's neither here nor there. We have all tried talking to her, in and out of character. She would have been booted out a while back, or had her character killed, if not for the plot twist: she's dating the DM. Thus, we...

    Another "Have You Ever Had This Player?" Discussion

    I'm starting to think there should be a section just for these... Anyway, I should preempt this by saying I observed these events from a player's perspective, not a DM's, so perhaps I found this all the more irritating because of it. Our Group was as follows (so I can refer to people by name)...

    Would/Do You Wear A D&D T-shirt In Public?

    One that just says "D&D" on it? No, because I'm not a fan of pure product placement. However, an amusing shirt that makes an oblique D&D reference? Yes, most notably a shirt from Penny Arcade that says "Jesus Saves - The Rest Of You Take Damage". Gotta love that Jesus, and his killer Reflex...

    Well this was scary as hell

    Or the crowbar (cuz then you get to beat the crap out of the dog). Or the shotgun (though there's where said Johnny Law comes in to play). [EDIT]: One final idea: a sword. Not a sharpened one (that could get you in trouble with the police, since you'll likely kill the dog), but a fresh one...

    Magical Arrows

    4 person party, each of them chipped in 25k (which was their inheritence or something... I wasn't part of the game, so I'm not clear on all the details). Also, the DM house-ruled out the "1 level gained per encounter" thing, so he went from, like, level 3 to level 15 after that one encounter...

    Magical Arrows

    A friend of mine paid 100k for a single arrow in a high-powered game. Of course, that arrow had the effect of a nuclear missile, allowing him to beat an Elder Prismatic Dragon when he was level 3, but... ^_^

    Favorite 1st level module?

    If you just mean something 1st levels can be competent in at first, but which could extend far past 1st level, I'd go with the World's Largest Dungeon, hands down.

    What Games Are You Looking Forward To?

    It's going to suck, and I'll tell you why: you only get XP from quests. You AREN'T ALLOWED to just grind (kill monsters for fun and XP). It's absolutely stupid.

    What Games Are You Looking Forward To?

    Starcraft: Ghost, KH2, FFXII, Fullmetal Alchemist 3 (I know there's no previews yet, but if they improve on the shortcomings of #2 as well as #2 improved over #1, it could be god in game form)

    How Did Superman Do That?

    Shatter question

    Receiving a saving throw means it CAN be affected. Thus, it CAN affect that enemy's magic longsword, as long as it fails its save.
