Enjoy the reading and the writing. If it isn't too presumptuous please come back in a few months and let us know what you've been reading.... Ysgarran.

About two weeks ago something exceptional happened to ocean temperatures off the U.S. east coast. Temperatures dropped by 10 degrees F. in something like 24 hours. That's the fastest drop that anybody can remember, and the coldest water temperatures for this time of year. The timing roughly...

Cool to see a number of other Ann Arbor players. thedangerranger, I'll drop you an e-mail. I doubt that I'll have the time myself but I'd like to keep in contact with the some local players for the future. Ysgarran.

Don't blame the elves, blame FR.

Lesser Restoration seems pretty unambiguous to me. It dispels any magic affects that reduce one of the subjects ability scores.

BBC mentioned this morning that Germany is concerned that the the heat wave might be hurting their economy. Ysgarran.

It must get really crowded under the basket with all the squeezing going on. Ysgarran.

I wasn't trying to be critical, its just that I've thought it would be fun to play a Noldor campaign set in the first age for a long time now. That impulse was really strong just after I finished the Silmarillion on audio CD. I might be able to get a similiar feel from the Midnight campaign...

I've been playing with this idea also. I've wondered if I could adapt the Avatar class from (Green Ronin? Mongoose?) to fulfill the role of earindil. I would want to draw it out a bit into two different campaign arcs. The first one would be probably be very dark but ending with the...

This is exactly the way we play the game. I've seen it used most often in my players when they wanted to wait until something moved into range for a spell, a charge, etc.

Devoted Defender (Sword and Fist) is one way to get extra attacks, but they are not a guarantee. Ysgarran.

Re: Re: So? What did they end up doing for the RPGA judges? I know a number of them did not get their badges by the end of the first day.

Hi, In the interests of marital harmony I had to bail from GenCon after the first day. Fortunately I was able to get a friend pick up Siege on Ebonring Keep for me. He mentioned something about MEG running a 4 books for 20$ deal? Could you share what the details on that? It is always...

One of the friends I attended the con with has a broken foot. (Third metatarsal, if I remember correctly). It isn't set in a cast but is visibly swollen to about 1.5 times the size of his other foot. He had taken a couple of chairs down from a cart so he could keep it elevated and...

In the notes on Abilities it says assume that the standard array unless otherwise noted. Just looking at the heading how are you supposed to tell the difference? Well, it isn't noted in a convenient place. It is noted later in the 'x as characters' section. This kind of information...

This is the most 'similiar' item I've seen so far, you've convinced me that this is the way to go. I have a character in my campaign who runs a spiked chain Fighter/Rogue/Devoted Defender. He is pretty effective with it. With Combat Reflexes and his protection abilities he gets a fair number...

Given that when you would hit the thing it would almost always 'give' and flex a little bit I think it would somewhat difficult to get a really good hard hit against it. I guess I'm leaning towards 10 Hardness with 20 hit points. Ysgarran. edit: It is also a two-handed weapon and I would...

The spiked chain didn't seem to fall neatly into the any of the categories in the chart for sundering weapons. Thoughts/opinions as to the hardness and hps of the Spiked chain? Ysgarran. p.s. I don't have a copy of 3.5; I had a half-hour last night to look over a friend's copy.

I think that the Elf domain in FR grants it as a domain spell. For a god that valued dexterity (i.e. a god of the bow, rogues, etc.) I would have no problem as granting as a freebie to the cleric. Ysgarran. p.s. I agree with Lorillomar as to the 'why' the designers did not add the spell to...

Our group uses a hex map and prefer a bit more to the square map. We don't always use the 'center' of the hex either, when the circumstances warrent it we will use the 'dots' that are in the center of the hex for measurement purposes. In other words, creatures don't always have to be in...
