Confusing, conshmoozing. We're just waiting for you to make your next journal entry! (taps fingers impatiently) :D

Mine are all first-person journals. I prefer that narrative style because it means that I as a player don't have to try to track everything that every other player-character does during the game. I can assume that sometimes my narrator/character doesn't see everything, or forgets or...

I subscribe to neither magazines nor pay websites, because I'm cheap and often under financial constraints. I don't want to pay up front for a magazine subscription that I may not always enjoy. I'd rather buy them month by month when I can afford it. And I hate pay websites. If it's not free I...

All of the other Complete books, the PHB II, the Spell Compendium and the Magic Item Compendium. If I had to play in a game where these books weren't allowed I think I'd quit.

Me, too. :( Oh, and nicely written, OStephens.

Yes, done it (as player) and enjoyed it. My character was the only one actually fighting on top of the lightning rail, though. The rest of the party were inside the carriage. It's a great cinematic opportunity, as is having an airship battle. I would think most players who enjoy action...

I meant, had anyone seen it in its entirety before it was destroyed. :p If they'd been showing Doctor Who in the US in 1967 I might have seen it, but unfortunately they weren't. :( Watched 'Gridlock' again last night with some friends. We all agreed it hangs together really well. If the...

This confirms what we were assuming. I just wondered if anyone else had a different take on it, or knew of some errata or clarification that we'd missed. Thanks, Lukelightning.

A friend of mine is playing a changeling in an Eberron campaign. According to the way he's interpreting the description of the minor shape change ability, his changeling can't assume the appearance of a Small humanoid such as a halfling. He finds this very frustrating. The minor shape change...

Somebody probably said this better than I can, but this thread is too long for me to read all the posts now. Originally Posted by M John Harrison Every moment of a science fiction story must represent the triumph of writing over worldbuilding. I snipped this because the point that first caught...

I voted Something Else. I have a different set of dice for each character that I play, so how often I use a particular set relies on how often I play that character.

# 42 (?): Don't come up with too many house rules. Unless the RAW is just a game-breaker for you, leave it alone. The more house rules you create, the more difficult it is for anyone to remember them. If you have to have house rules, try to have them as minor variations on the existing rules...

I use Tolkien quite a bit, too, especially if I'm playing an elf. I'm currently running an elf in three different campaigns and all of them have Sindarin names. I generally refer to either the Silmarillion or my copy of David Salo's A Gateway to Sindarin for assistance. I also like to use...

I was a little disappointed that the episode last night wrapped things up so tidily, but I would have been a lot more disappointed if they'd gone out on a cliffhanger and then not been renewed, as has happened to a number of other series I enjoyed. My fiancee was commenting last night that...

I hope this actor cast as Flash is a better actor than Sam J. Jones. I also hope they avoid any relationship to that horrid animated series, which I thought I had burned from my memory until Hand of Evil (ironic, no?) brought it up again.

Ta!! :D

Well, I must have seen a different episode than some folks here, because I loved it! My face hurt from smiling - when I wasn't getting all teary-eyed at some scenes.

Oh man, I loved, loved, loved this episode!! From the return of the cat people and the Face of Boe to the reappearance of the Macra (anyone out there actually seen that episode?), it was great. I was smiling hugely throughout the entire episode - when I wasn't tearing up, that is. Ten years...

Danger Under Every Leaf Our trip through the jungle is proving even more dangerous than Pimani led us to expect. As he warned us before we left Mezro, there is danger under every leaf here. But some of the danger is due to forces our guide couldn't possibly have anticipated. As usual, Latan...

Okay, so I finally fixed my own error in selecting a category for this thread. :o I guess part of what irritates me about the proofreading errors in many publications is that people rely too much on the grammar and spelling checkers in Word (or whatever application they're using) to do it for...
