    What movies have made you bawl?

    No has mentioned Gandhi yet. THAT is a movie that I both want to see again, and probably never will, due to its impact on me. If you haven't seen it, I can not reccommend it highly enough. It earned its Oscar. (over Star Wars, if I recall) Many others that folks have mentioned- I am a bit...

    Boston ENworld Game Day–Mission Accomplished

    Please put me into Piratecate's M&M game. More Superhero goodness! For the 7th sea Pirates game - character bios, and rules summary will be provided. The system is very simple, roll 10 siders, add them together, try to beat the DC that the GM states you need. World info is not terribly vital...

    Secrets of the Halmae: My Players Keep Out

    Start killing the Archmages. First, a failed assassination attempt. Then a successful one. Always seeming to target the AM who is 'in the lead' for the job. But, of course, things are not as they seem. IS anyone actually dead? Or simply being captured? Or is one of the Archmages running...

    Great Foot Chase Scenes?

    Run Lola run -- not a chase scene per se, only a race against time. Throw me the idol, I'll throw you the whip" - people being chased by giant boulders is always cool For a different take on things: the Marx Brothers The Big Store ends with a frantic chase/game of keep away. Crouching tiger...

    Player so afraid PC will die that she's not having fun

    Give the party some form of a get out of jail free/avoid TPK solve problem once card/favor. A single wish, from a helpful and generous spirit. The ability to summon a powerful cleric or wizard or friendly extra-planar being. Thus, they know they can avoid total disaster once. You still have...

    [Ma] Off the T? looking to add a player?

    I'm also shopping around for a new game/group. I live next to Sullivan Square (orange line) and am an easy bus ride to Davis/Harvard, etc. If something is coming together keep me in mind. :)

    Boston EN World game day on Saturday, January 29th

    I had a blast playing 'I'm not Crazy' Larry in the Zombie game. All flesh must burn! And as the atomic gun-toting, randomly wandering accented texan in the Mutants and Masterminds. Alas, I couldn't make a damage resistance roll to um, save my life. Didn't die, but was out for most of the...

    Boston EN World game day on Saturday, January 29th

    I think I'll plan on bringing a big tin of tasty homemade chocolate chip cookies. :cool: edit: but that requires lots of milk. Trotting a gallon on out there might be annoying, Piratecat, would it be OK if I asked you to get some, and slipped you 5$?

    Confessions you don't want making it to the new server!

    Wizards got half their spells at odd levels, and then the other half at even levels. Made much more sense than only being able to cast one or two spells per day. :) One of my first attempts at DMing - gave out a +10 times 10 sword. As in, add 10 to damage, then multiply by 10 for total...

    Would you allow this paladin in your game? (new fiction added 11/11/08)

    No. In fact, based on some of his statements to Magnus, verging on evil. Yep, Evil. He is counseling despair. He is stating that evil can not be defeated. He is advocating the death of hope and the lack of a bright future. Its not to far from Cedric actually lost to his previous...

    Do you really like Star Wars?

    The original movie remains fantastic. And every time I hear the theme song a massive smile leaps onto my face. I will love Star Wars until the day I die. I've never understood why so many people prefer the Empire strikes back to return of the Jedi. Jedi is the climax of the entire series and...

    Lost City - your experiences?

    Fantastic quality module. I desperately tried to lure my current players into it, but they kept finding other things to do, alas. I was all set, Zargon was from The Far Realms, the cultists were trying to summon more of him, the underground city could become part of the underground resistance...

    Farmboy Saves the World!

    They start at level one. Throughout the long series, they grow and develop. By the end, when it's time to save the world, they are level 20+. I'd much rather read about someone making this journey and developing than reading about a character who is introduced as epic, and just doesn't have...

    The offical ENWorld The Return of the King Extendend Edtion DVD reaction thread.

    Yes precious we likes it my precious. Except for the stupid Witch King my precious. Yes my love it was very silly, Gandalf the White who has grown more powerful since when he previously defeated a Balrog, the Maia would not be defeated/thrown down so easily by a pesky wraith-slave, no my love...

    Boston EN World game day on Saturday, January 29th

    Betsy (Mrs. Zog) has offered to run a game, probably something standard D&Dish, in the morning slot, provided someone steps up and runs something for her in one of the two yet to be claimed afternoon slots! :D

    Boston EN World game day on Saturday, January 29th

    I'm sure Betsy and I can make it, I'll have to double check her interests. Early mornings and I disagree, but for a good cause I could probably manage. Count me in for the Pulp action theater in the afternoon and zombie bait in the morning. If there are people overflow, we could bring several...

    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen; Eberron Style

    In Eberron, you want Extraordinary folks? You've got it right in the setting! Heirs of Siberys. Simply give them a siberys dragonmark as a free feat. Is it powerful for 1st level characters? Oh yeah. But you wanted special folks! The other, more boring option, would be to have them all...
