    The Polite Way...

    TODAY is pirate day?! Why isn't the main news page in pirate-speak then? I've been looking forward to pirate day forever, but I didn't know it was today.

    Vote for the Song-Entry Winner!

    I wonder - do any of the members of Weezer post on ENWorld? They've already got a few gaming references in their songs. If I'd thought about it, I could have filked one of their songs. That really could get recorded if it was up to snuff. By the way, the word "filk" is new to me. I'm an...

    Vote for the Song-Entry Winner!

    Wombat's "When I'm Sixty-Four" deserves an honorable mention. The Beatles are requisite and this is a really fun gaming-related ditty. That said, the contest was to come up with lyrics which referred to EN World in-jokes. Tinner's "We Didn't Start the Flamewar" is a terrific list of name, and...

    Clerical Turning - Undead vs. Domain

    Yeah, if memory serves, by the RAW, these clerics get two (or more) seperate pools of turning attempts; one for undead, one for domain-specific foes. A cooler house rule, though, might be to just add three daily attempts to the count and let one pool count for both kinds of turning. I...

    Numerology

    Numerology and Thread Necromancy together in one. I dedicate this post to the Beatles. A song reference. Can you guess which one? move over once. move over twice. . . Come on baby don't be cold as ice Said we ridin' on the one after 909. On the occassion of my 910th post.

    D&D Music / Soundtracks?

    It means that it was an April issue.

    A competition for free CS accounts!

    So when does the voting begin? As stoked as I am that I made the (admitedly all-inclusive) list, I won't be voting for my entry. I'm really impressed with what this thread has inspired.

    Help me brainstorm for Halloween

    Mummies and Werewolves are both easily recognized, and classic. The former would be easier, but the latter would be cooler. A Frankenstein's monster-esque flesh golem could work if it was done right, but might be confused with zombie by the uninitiated. Mind Flayer would work despite not...

    A competition for free CS accounts!

    My vote, too, so far. (If the contest is to stuff as many references as possible into the song, this will be the song to use.) I couldn't choose the best three from what has been done already. I'm really impressed with the results. What a creative bunch you all are! I'm loving this...

    Why are Dwarves Scottish?

    They're not Scottish in my game: they're Chinese. Okay, well, actually, I do have some Scottish dwarves, and some Korean dwarves, some prominent German dwarves, and a few Viking dwarves, but the Chinese dwarves are by far the most prominent right now.

    Holy crap! Lots of Races

    Spriggans! Thank you! Are you sure it was Monsters of Faerun, though? I would have sworn it was more recent. Now I have to go look. Okay, 3E Fiend Folio, pg 162.

    A competition for free CS accounts!

    I have wanted a CS account for some time now, but been unable to afford it, so, if there is no limit to the number of entryies allowed, this paltry attempt will be my entry number one: “DM, Don’t Let Your Players Grow Up to be Posters” to the tune of “Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be...

    Level Adjustment for the Tsochari (from Lords of Madness)

    The ability score adjustments you list are worth far more than +1 LA. Frankly, the tsochar illustrate what's wrong with the LA system. They might indeed make an interesting PC race, but any reasonable LA would likely render them too weak, in terms of hit points, to be playable. I don't have a...

    Holy crap! Lots of Races

    I'm sure that kender are their own halfling-like race. Derro were once dwarves, and then I think a later revision called them human-dwarf crossbreeds. I just think of them as dwarf-like but separate and different. There is a wicked subrace of gnome I forgot, though. . . What are they called...

    You crack open the beholder and find scrolls.

    I'm pretty sure that it was at about this point that I did myself some injury through enthusiastic laughter.

    How many teachers on the boards?

    How long has it taken to get this group established and for them to develp such great habits? Do any of your players play outside school, as well? Do they complain about summer break?

    Holy crap! Lots of Races

    Last I saw, the linguistic data did not specifically preclude the possibility of the Caucasus mountains being the route into Europe for those people now referred to as caucasians. Where is the currently favored "homeland" of these people? Halflings: Hairfeets (PHB) Stouts (deep) Tallfellows...

    You crack open the beholder and find scrolls.

    Variant Beholders We all know, I think that beholders are highly prone to dramatic mutation and the profligation of various sub-species of beholder - it is therefore somewhat surprising to me that no one here has correctly identified this variant beholder. Known for carrying its treasure...

    Mystic Theurge

    Geomancer allows some combination of arcane and divine power, I think. Also, Monte Cook designed a cool Hallowed Mage prestige class, though I don't remember now where it was published, and I suspect that it might not work as well for a 16th level character.
