    May Movies - What do you want to see MOST?

    1. Indy IV 2. Narnia 3. Iron Man Speed Racer looks worse than the Flintstone movies.

    Would this bother you?

    This is the reason I thought of too. It still doesn't make a lot of sense for a player to be the one objecting though, and the DM knows how well Elf Witch knows the setting. In the past, I've had trouble as a DM in dealing with players that read all the game setting's novels, and couldn't...

    D&D 3.x WotC Rejecting 3.5 Writers?

    This thread is just as illustrative about the edition/company battlelines as the mod's April Fools one. :eek: Grab Some Loot. The D&D character's motto.

    D&D 3.x WotC Rejecting 3.5 Writers?

    This is the internet. When given a small amount of information, it's always the way of the internet to jump to the worst conclusion possible.

    Help me out. PoL. Why don't small towns get overrun?

    I'm sorry but I simply won't believe that the Flintstones lied to me. Next you'll tell me that the Triceratops didn't even eat people. ;)

    Help me out. PoL. Why don't small towns get overrun?

    Villages have to be well defended, pay ransom, or off the beaten path to survive long in a PoL campaign. Given that the human is 1st level and a commoner or NPC class, I'd say the same in 3e. In fact, due to 3e's Diablo design, Hong's avatar could leave a half dozen dead 1st level commoners...

    Metallica's Enter Sandman - Instrumental?

    Here's a link to Amazon where you can buy a MP3 instrumental version. It's a tribute so it's not actually Metallica playing. http://www.amazon.com/Enter-Sandman/dp/B000QQI0ZA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1207156845&sr=8-2 The Metallica S&M version is not instrumental. Edit: There is also...

    OD&D 4 me (April Fools)

    For old school roleplaying feel nothing beats Cops & Robbers or Cowboys & Indians, err I guess Cowpeople & Native Americans these days. You even get to run around outside and get some exercise. Unfortunately, those games tended to devolve into rules arguments. Thankfully, rule 0 and claiming...

    [EW] 20 worst Comic Book movies

    I agree with some of the list, but it also includes a few decent movies. The funny thing is that the 1989 version of the Punisher featuring Dolph Lundgren was even worse. Count me as one who considers X3 as a prime canidate for the worst comic book movies list. It lacked the character of the...

    D&D 4E Is the OGL the reason for WOTC's secrecy about 4E?

    Wow. D&D 4e was announced at GenCon almost a year before release. WotC has given us all kinds of info on their website including a race write up and a class write up. They had demo games at the D&D Experience. There are demos at game stores leading up to 4e release. Keep on the Shadowfell...

    Monsters that mark: A pain for DMs

    If I get a headache tracking which monster marked which PC, I'll just stop keeping track. Instead I'll just let a marked PC ignore the -2 penalty when attacking any monster that can mark. That way the crunchy monsters are still protecting the squishy monsters. It should work fine as long as...

    D&D 4E 4e - Is it really D&D Yet?

    Hi, welcome to EN World. Needless to say, not everyone was dissapointed with what we've seen of 4E. GURPS isn't a d20 system. I've haven't heard that 4E uses a point buy system, or that they've changed to a roll under your skill total for success model. That being the case, I in no way...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo Site is Down, Do They Have the Licence?

    That's what it wants you to think. The bunny is the wizard. The human is merely its familiar.

    Goblin Picador

    I think it's important to point out that the pulling one square even on a miss happens with the tug of war attack. The goblin has to hit with a regular attack from the harpoon first. Then it will be able to use tug of war on its next turn assuming it's alive and the PC didn't remove the...

    Slate article on Gary's legacy (Merged with Gary Gygax Slandered)

    Another article written as an attention grab. This time Gary doesn't matter because all he did was co-create the first RPG, and it was hack and slash which is "sociopathic" bad wrong fun by the author's well vetted credentials. Tha article didn't even get the year D&D was originally published...

    Gygax doesn't matter?

    The blog post really isn't about Gary's death. Mentioning that he doesn't really care that much about Gary's death seems to be just an attention grab. Using Gary's death that way, plus his message is what I suspect upsets most people here. The point of the blog seems to be that those who have...

    D&D 3.x Will you still play 3.5?

    It isn't likely I'll be running any more 3.5 games, but I'll still probably be playing in some. I still have my books from previous editions, so I'm probably not going to get rid of my 3.5 books.

    Gygax doesn't matter?

    Mr. Snyder's post on his blog reads like someone looking for attention. It seems it worked since most of us now have heard of Matt Snyder.
