    Rolling 18/100 Strength

    I did something similiar to one of my players. I watched him roll an 18/00 for one of his characters (using 4d6 drop the lowest). I told him that he would completely overshadow the other characters in the campaign if he kept that. He graciously agreed to lower it down to 18/75. When he...

    Winter Fantasy Starts Next Thursday! Who's Going?

    I'm going for Friday only to play "Assault on the Vault". Perhaps Bill will be the lucky GM who kills my character... Ysgarran.

    Alternatives to PCGen

    This is what I'm most curious about and what I'm waiting for: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/message/54462 As the note says, there isn't much to say on this front. Although I should note that once some of the supporting editors are (plural?) finished adding your own information should be...

    OT Geneology - and I'm Part Celestial!

    The only interesting thing is that my grandfathers family came from the Isle of Jersey (which is a small channel island between England and France just below the English channel). The family tree can be traced back a long ways on island. The family name on the Isle of Jersey appears a bit...

    [Dragon] First D&D 3.5 Update

    I'm curious as to the process of how they are updating the core books. Is this strictly an internal WotC effort or are there players out there with NDAs who are taking part of revising the rules? Ysgarran.

    Reprints of Gloranthan Classics.

    I know a couple of other people on this board are familiar with Glorantha so I thought this might be of interest. I played 2ed Runequest many years ago (1983 - 1987). I know that Hero Wars is the latest RPG for the Gloranthan world but I completely missed these reprints...

    Thanks, Ysgarran.

    Grappling and Flat-Footed.

    Just a quick confirmation of a ruling... If someone is flat-footed and a monk (for example) starts to grapple that character the flat-footed character cannot make an attack of opportunity unless she has combat reflexes. thanks, Ysgarran.

    Did anyone see the "Samuri Jack" episode that paid homage to Lone Wolf and Cub? Curious, Ysgarran.

    RPG Piracy

    Which version of Kazaah do you have? I help friends and family often with their computers at home and it is amazing the amount of spyware that is on their machines. Depending on the version of Kazaah that you have, it will not run if you uninstall the bundled spyware. I have not closely read...

    RPG Piracy

    This is getting off topic just a touch but would you pay money for a bot that looked for illegal copies? I suppose much depends on how successfull it was at finding illegal copies. I know that the large companies (especially those involved in music and movie industry) are working on just such...

    Lone Wolf and Cub

    I thought it was great for anyone who wanted to do a campaign based on that era of Japan. It is just full of little bits of japanese culture. One thing that was hard to get used to is that all of the stances for those wielding Katanas was reversed. 10$ once a month didn't seem to bad. It...

    Lone Wolf and Cub

    Anyone else been reading this? The final comic (Volume 28) came out recently and I was wondering if anyone else wanted to give their thoughts about the series. Now that I've finished I have to go out and find the movies that were made based on the story. I also need to see 'Road to Perdition'...

    Women who Roleplay at Convetions: Stalking Incidents?

    It is surprising that you got involved with gaming at all after an experience like that. It seems many people would permanently associate this guys behaviour with gaming. Fortunately you didn't. It is true that you can and will meet jerks (mild term) anywhere and in any particular...

    [OT] Upon watching PJ butcher another's work.

    I had this happen to me also. I got the strong impression that the only reason they went to see the movie was because of the battle scenes. About half way through the movie I had to tell them to keep their comments to themselves. I suspect this is going to be the weakest of the three films...

    Poll : Aside from Toad, which familiar in PHB is popular in your play group?

    The Sorcerer in my group with a Celestial Hawk aka the "Improved Familiar" feat.

    What would survive?

    I think the scavenging is something you need to take into account. Just how much scavenging has taken place? Would people 2000 years earlier than the characters timeframe be tearing these buildings apart to get some high quality steel? The ancient cities might a nice source of refined...

    NBC Today show.

    I was watching the NBC today show (looking to see if the local schools would be closed or not). Katie Couric was interviewing Liv Tyler this morning and was showing just how little she knew about LotR. I'm paraphrasing the interview, but it shows the point. Katie: You have a love interest in...
