Probably around $2,000 or so. YES, this has a big impact on my 4E squeamishness, I am currently a dedicated fence sitter, and even if I do go to 4E it won't be until at least 2009 and the 2nd or higher printing to (hopefully) get the spelling and errata fixes. I had almost all of the 1E AD&D...

And we come full circle, whining, being childish, being rude are NEVER justified... well maybe if he is 12, but no not even then really. Having an issue / problem / disagreement with the scenario and trying to resolve it to ones own satisfaction is acceptable, being a whiney brat is not...

For all the same reasons mentioned, I would invite him to leave. Why do you play? I play to have fun. My players play to have fun. Someone break fun, someone must go. That easy and that quick.

It needs to be linked to message boards related to each product (if such can be found) that way the unfair influence of being hyped on another message board would be canceled out by all the other hype and the resulting chaos that ensued would be... well almost fair.

Thanks RiTz21! that looks like just what I need. Nylanfs, I may take a whack at that, but we could both be old before I finish it. (ok, you may be old and I would be ancient)

I will get the book if for no other reason than curiosity about "Monte's House Rules". I do believe it will prove useful though as long as I continue to play 3E.

All these posts for UA, and I love that book as well, but had to go with Ptolus. So where the heck did all this Eberron votes come from? Ptolus 37 ECS 36 UA 32

This will be my next purchase.

I recently moved from DM to player after many years and this is exactly how I see it as well.

First and best advice: Whatever makes your games better, go with it and ignore anything posted here that runs contrary to that. If it makes your play better / more fun than by all means use it. I would even bump the WIS minimum to 16. This should be something that only very wise and willful...

I once had a very whiney player also, and yes it is a major pain. Putting aside the OP example (which was probably not the best example to use, as witnessed by all the responses lambasting the OP instead of addressing his issue); how does the whiney player affect the rest of the group? I...

It is a Toshiba Tecra 8100 (circa 2000) PIII 850 MHz 512MB RAM and a 120GB HD. The video is only 8MB though. Currently has WinXP but could / might be swapped to Linux. That is Plan B, just thought I would check and see if there was something already out there to use first. I already made a...

Here is my rather strange situation: I have an old laptop that I have started using in games. The resolution maxes out at 1024x768 and most of the sharacter sheet forms / programs / utilities that I have found either scroll off the bottom of the page while leaving unused space to the side, or...

After a similar situation as described, but all occurring in one session, I introduced a house rule that once per session a player may on any given roll "take 20". However this allows me to at some later point in the same session "Give 1". If the player chooses to use it as an attack roll it...

I have been using a roll of natural 20 as "Max Damage" ever since AD&D 1E. Never used confirming rolls for crits with 3E, but did switch to the range and damage multiplier [mainly at players insistence]. Very much like the new (old) 4E model better. Have always used the XP charts as...

I think a lot of assumption is being made about the PoL setting that we really do not know yet, or that might change with supplement release. That assumption is how "pointy" the points of light will be and how much darkness lies between. The points may be kingdoms, empires, other type nation...

I nominate that for thread winner, that is exactly what it says to me. :cool:

I am going to follow the trend and say "not much" would get to me, but also agree that everything has a place and not all places are for everything. Guns / gunpowder maybe as a one time find and after one shot (musket) the thing never works again (PC's don't know how to load powder, shot...

Ditto My standing rule is that it is not allowed just because it exists. If a player brings something to me and says he wants to play this or add that, I will review it and if it is not unbalanced then I will work with the player to incorporate it. [Much web based stuff is very unbalanced]...

If you look hard enough, you can probably find an insult in any post; whether it is actually there or not. Hussar - I am not saying anything near the words you are trying to state for me, please don't since you get it so wrong. It is a simple truth that taking the effort to map or even note...
