    A little too familiar between friends

    I had an experience vaguely similar to Silver Moon's, in that I walked up behind a woman I thought was my girlfriend, and was just about to kiss her on the back of the neck, when I realized that she was the wrong person. Fortunately, I was forgiven because the look of horror on my face as my...

    Style vs. Code Level hacks - why some things haven't changed yet.

    As another item to add to your list: is there any chance we could get rid of the blinking of the "Attention" tag? (And anything else that blinks or animates that I haven't noriced yet.) . . . . . . . -- Eric

    Style vs. Code Level hacks - why some things haven't changed yet.

    I'm trying to recall if the accessibility style sheets are additive or not. If they are, you could pretty easily create one that restores the bolding for you. Anyone know off the top of your head? . . . . . . . -- Eric PS -- I have confirmed that this does work. No guarantees that it won't...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    So what are Pykosian names based on? My own bad habit is to use too many people named "Bob". I've tried to mitigate this a bit by affixing surnames: professions, city of origin, or street names. Bob Treelane, Bob Smith, Bob Cormyr, etc. It's really sad when you have to start using more than...

    The Mésalliance. Part 1. (Updated 4/18.)

    I've greatly enjoyed the screen time both Eadric and Ortin have gotten in the last couple updates. It's good to see the non-spell casters continue to have a significant role in epic play (and gives me ideas for how to keep things interesting in future campaigns of my own). Keep up the great...

    Medallions d20 Modern (Update Wednesday 09-20-06)

    Another new reader here, having just polished off the Story Hour (and the WWII SH day before yesterday). Extremely well written; you have me hooked. I look forward to the next update. . . . . . . . -- Eric PS -- And I'm glad to see the spider early in the story, since it probably means...

    Seeking Gamers in Houston/U of H Area

    I'm currently playing in D20 Modern / Urban Arcana game in North Houston (I-45 @ 1960). We've discussed recruiting some additional players, but I'll have to drop the GM a line to have him work out the details. We currently have 4 players, with 1 potentially dropping out. The current roster...

    Vote for this year's ENnies judges!

    With 222 votes in, there do seem to be some strong trends. There is a 20 vote gap between the top 4 and the people jockeying for that 5th spot. That 5th place spot should be interesting to watch. . . . . . . . -- Eric

    Defenders of Daybreak OT thread

    Re. DOD: I'm looking forward to learning more about Soder. It's "quirks" fascinate me. Re. Valentines: You know a holiday is over-commercialized when it spawns sub-races. (i.e. "Sweetest Day") :) . . . . . . . -- Eric

    Your experience with RPGA events..good or not so good?

    Ah, yes, module stories. I think this one was the straw that broke the camel's back, for me (spoilered for those who might play it): After a bit of light investigating, we found the man we were looking for. He drew his sword, I was playing a level 2 Fighter among a mostly level 3 - 4 group...

    [Winners Announced] FINAL GIVEAWAY is OVER: Please visit the RPG Shop!

    Fixed. FYI, that happens b/c the forum likes to shorten long URLs in the forum text, but they then break if copied later. You can avoid it by using the [ URL] tag around normal text: The Hamlet Of Thumble (Hit reply do see what I did, and my apologies if you already knew this.) . . . . . ...

    Your experience with RPGA events..good or not so good?

    My overall experience has been poor, with some very enjoyable exceptions. My experience is generally better in non-D&D games, so my general policy is to avoid RPGA D&D events unless I know and trust the GM and players. For example, I loved the RPGA events at EliCon or ConnCon, when I went...

    Tell me what's so good about life

    Other people have mentioned some very good reasons for staying alive. Caring about your family and friends, knowing that you're not thinking rationally, realizing that things will improve, being responsible enough to avoid making others lives worse, or just not having giving up as part of your...

    So how do you play a Sun Elf?

    Er, coming back from the tangent for a moment, a couple ideas for having a sun-elf character (and their reaction to their society): + Counter-culture: your character is in favor of abolishing the status quo attitudes of racial superiority. She is trying to document the "worthiness" of the...

    What good are insta-kill spells and monsters ?

    Out of curiosity, have any of the supplements come out with rules to "tweak" save or die spells to be less lethal? Or is it just a common type of house rule? I haven't yet seen much use of spell effects that ramp up to save or die, or degrade to being unaffected, or give repeated chances to...

    Sins of Our Fathers - 2/10 - Final Update

    I don't think you're giving too much away, there. It does say it pretty directly in the story. Well done, Destan. I look forward to seeing what you do next. . . . . . . . -- Eric
