    Married with Children and D&D

    We have a group of seven players who get together every two weeks. Three of them have been playing together for 17 years now. Another two are now young adults (19 years old) that I've watched grow up, finish high school and start going to college. The last two players joined about 8 years...

    Beware of Giant Hogweed. Beware of Giant Hogweed. Reported in Maine, Michigan, and Washington DC... A plant 8 to 15 feet tall related to Queen Anne's Lace. Contact with the sap can cause second degree burns. Contact with the eyes can cause temporary and sometimes permanent blindness...

    Worst book WotC made for 3.0?

    Agreed. How could this have missed the poll? A complete waste.

    racial levels, anyone?

    There is something funny in having someone beating their chest and saying I'm a REAL Elf, I've three levels of elf to prove it. It does harken back to the basic D&D days when each race had its own 'class' but I kind of liked that too. Regardless, I still like it. Anything that moves away...

    How many settings do you own (vs how many you actually use)?

    heh, I collect this stuff. It gets really scary if you include previous editions of D&D and other RPGs. I plunder freely from everything but rarely get to use the settings. Part of the problem is that we rotate between 3 different DMs each with their own setting (FR, Greyhawk and home...

    What d20 game hasn't been done [or done right] yet?

    Testament by Green Ronin has information about Egyptians and and Egyptian culture that might be appropriate. Although the book really does focus on the Israelites. Ysgarran.

    What d20 game hasn't been done [or done right] yet?

    Very cool, let us know how this goes. I've always liked the animist approach to fantasy. Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I've also like Miyazaki's nature versus man theme, e.g., In Princess Mononoke man is cutting down the forest. Do you plan to capture this at all in your game...

    [it sounds OT but it isn't] US military training and procedures

    There are U.S. Military programs where enlisted people will get a chance for college but it isn't that common. You have to be very sharp to get into such a program. It is much more common to go for one of the ROTC or NROTC programs where you go to college first and then have a six year...

    ant attack! (ot) (now with gun story)

    Something similiar happened to my sister in Key West. Apparently cockroaches laid eggs in her hair dryer and hatched. When she turned it on she had her eyes closed ...she just felt the 'tick' of bugs hitting her skin. All these tiny cockroaches thought her ears and nose were nice dark places...

    Search improvement request.

    This what I ended up doing and it did find what I was looking for. I was suprised that the search engine did treat something in quotes as a single search token instead of multiple ones. Ysgarran.

    Search improvement request.

    Currently the search option does not allow three letter searches. I can understand that. It limits the load on the machine. What about searches like this: "Shot on the run". How would I do that search? It shouldn't filter out 'on', 'the' and 'run'. This is really a 14 letter search and not...

    [OT]Blackout -- how long were you without power?

    Ann Arbor, MI: About 10 minutes less than 24 hours. Power went out about 4:12 PM on Thursday. It came back around 4:00 PM today. I waited about 4 hours before turning on the computers. later, Ysgarran.

    Ranger Feats

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Manyshot works with Shot on the Run OK, before I was so rudely interrupted by the power outage I had a very long response typed in. Power went out before I could hit 'Submit Reply'. Sigh. Anyways, I think I understand your point but I think it is still a very poorly worded...

    Ranger Feats

    Re: Re: Manyshot works with Shot on the Run So where in the SRD does it state that the hierarchy of actions should be: Attack (standard) Action and Manyshot (standard) Action instead of Standard (Attack) Action and Standard (Manyshot) Action? My natural inclination is to order things...

    Hong's pimp thread

    Is the word soliciter or pimp even the correct usage in this context? Hong isn't hawking someone else's wares, he is engaging in a bit of self-aggrandizement. He is promoting his own PrCs, not someone else's PrcS Ysgarran.

    What are my options for a ritual magic system?

    "The Witch's Handbook" from Green Ronin has rules on ritual magic also. I use that one for my game. Ysgarran.

    Arcana Unearthed: Pro's and Con's

    I have to say this has been on my mind a bit. For me it comes down to the question is how much more cost would it have added to the book to have better art? With my monthly allotment for RPG purchases I looked at the Babylon 5 RPG and AU. I'm a huge fan of B5. I have the older RPG for B5...

    I mailed back my 3.5 D&D books for a refund today...

    Like a free lance game designer doesn't have a certain amount of self-interest in the success of 3.5. Not that is bad per say, I really do believe in enlightened self-interest.
