    GC 2006 - Ptolus Hardback $120!?!

    I have modified post 26 slightly for illustration: DaveMage, I'm on your side! At this price, I'll buy ten of them! I'm very much looking forward to this book, even if it is three months of my gaming budget.

    Worst D&D adventure of all time?

    Sounds like it. I have to wonder though if maybe railroading might not be perfect for some beginning groups.

    How many teachers on the boards?

    What sort of school is this? Private? Public? Charter?

    Nausicaa Campaign?

    I don't have search or I'd look for you, but then there were stats for a Red Elk in a recent issue of Dragon. Someone here might know which issue. I have to get to bed. Students are coming tomorrow.

    How will this party do?

    Yeah, I'm looking forward to reading of their exploits.

    How many teachers on the boards?

    I would be very interested to hear more about this RPG club: what games do you play? What sort of participation do you get? What requirements, if any, are imposed on students who wish to participate? How much grief do you get from parents/ church groups? How do you get it started? How/when do...

    harsh discipline

    I really, really want to resist the urge to collect apparently random quotes for my signature, but as a linguist and a teacher of English, I can't pass this one up. I don't think I've seen that. Perhaps I have, and just didn't notice it, or didn't recognize it for passive aggression. BTW...

    How will this party do?

    Good advice thus far, and good to see that you've made some effort to build a party instead of just three individual characters. The fact that everybody gets +2 bonus to Con is nothing to sneeze at. Having A character who can resist physical harm is nice, but having a whole party with hit...

    Why no politics or religion?

    BEWARE: Political post I'll post this before this (increasingly political) thread is shut down: Sometimes, I honestly wish real-world governments worked more like ENWorld administration: We have strong participation from the masses, and everyone gets a chance to opine. A small group of...

    My Incredible Sitcom Idea

    Thanks. I was just coming back to remove my entry and cede the glory of victory to Dark Jezter. I guess I'll bask in it instead and gloat to all of my friends.

    Mystic Theurge and Precocious Apprentice

    The Precocious Apprentice won't be available to a Clr1 or to a character above 1st level, will it? If memory serves, this build, if it's allowed demands: Wiz1 Wiz1/Clr1 Wiz1/Clr2 Wiz1/Clr3 Wiz1/Clr3/MT1. . . Have I forgotten something?

    Psionic weapon

    Str = Int: How much labor can you mind do? Can it handle heavy houghts well? Dex = Wis: An "Agile Mind," both are Save stats, the ability to notice things corresponds to the ability to react to them. Con = Cha: The robustness of one's mind, how much can you endure and keep shoving. Any...

    My Incredible Sitcom Idea

    Dramedieality! Okay, we find sixteen fat, beer-swilling, American men, and their incredibly sexy, but overbearings wives, two gay, male couples, both extrodinarily effeminate, and one lesbian couple, and send these teams around the world, solving zany, real-life crimes to lose weight, win a...

    Good points. Thank you, Meloncov.

    Critical Fumble?

    I think that this "ad hoc" ruling is probably the best and most common way of handling fumbles. (Certianly better, though perhaps less amusing than your suggestion in post 15: That said, the house rule I use is this: Natural 20s are resolved as though you had rolled a 30. Natural 1s are resolved...

    Afternoon Adventures and Reluctant Readers

    Thanks for the feedback, EB. A secondary concern is fostering osctracization of the students I mean to help by the closed-minded, fickle, peer-enslaved, immature, "cool crowd." If the activity I sponsor makes life harder any student, then that's not fair to them and it makes my job harder, not...

    Cursed Items Thread

    I've just corrected a sort of crucial typo in my last post: Clearly, the horizon limit was needed to make the ability work. domino and ARandomGod bring up some interesting points, though, which warrant further thought. So, does anybody else out there have some more useful cursed items...

    Cursed Items Thread

    Okay. Now I understand. Neat. My only real problem with the farsight ability you described disappeared when you included the caveat that the limit of vision is absolute at the horizon. I presume that a nearer limit would be any solid obstruction. Without these limits you get an x-ray vision...

    Afternoon Adventures and Reluctant Readers

    Intentionally or otherwise, teachers already advocate their own values to their students. That's part of the awesome priveledge and responsability of being an educator. I think that D&D, in moderation, is a normal, healthy activity. I hope that my students will feel the same to, and to the...
