    Alternatives to "Save the World"

    I have thought about (but never attempted) a "temporal paradox" type theme. Similar in concept to the "save the cheerleader, save the world"; or "Terminator"; or "Star Trek: First contact" storyline. So while you are saving the world as a side effect, your actual goal is to save the child that...

    WotC announced non-randomized minis

    First, that is not what I said at all, and you know that. (shame on you!) Second it is all conjecture UNTIL they offer non-random minis and THEN we can compare sales figures after another few years and see which is actually more popular. Until then your conjecture that 16 series of random sold...

    To RP Game Players/Gamemasters -- What is Fun? What is Unfun?

    At the moment I can't really break it down to good descriptive points as has been done by the OP and others, all I can think of is to give 2 examples. While going down a 10' hallway the group comes to an obstacle, a 20' long pit 10' deep with a 4" wide beam to cross down the middle. The pit is...

    Link to Wiki at top of the page not working

    I almost posted this same thing a few days ago, but the site ate it and I did not have time to do it again. The first time I clicked on the wiki link it cleared my cookies and asked me to log in again. The second time I clicked on it it worked just fine and has ever since. More info: Prior...

    Auto-acronyming - new feature? (merged)

    Add QFT to that list... as the first time I ever saw it and asked about it I was incorrectly told it meant Quite F****** True. I spent nearly 3 months thinking there were many potty-mouths here on ENW before I learned the true meaning. :o

    Missing 3.5 errata files from WotC

    :eek: Well I am glad it is not just me then... although it could be me, I just don't want it to be me alone! :heh:

    What Do Gamers Eat?

    All of the above and then some. There was a very good little hole-in-the-wall Chinese take-out place just around the corner that i had loved for years. I introduced it to my players and they too fell in love with it, but as with all good things they got a little pricey after a while. [Just...

    WotC announced non-randomized minis

    Well no, this will probably actually get you a few of my dollars that the random packs NEVER would have seen. Especially if you guys were to sell sets that matched (big) adventures [hint, hint]. I would have loved (and bought) a RttToEE set, and if you do one for the big boxed set adventure in...

    Missing 3.5 errata files from WotC

    That is just freaky, someone at WotC must be reading ENW because I swear those two were not there earlier when I went and looked! :uhoh:

    Wrong color background or text

    First some techie stuff, just in case it matters: Using the black skin Running FireFox 3.01 On Windows XP SP3 When I go to the wiki, the background of the main navigation bar at the top of the page turns white, and with the black skin yellow / red text that makes it almost invisible. IT WORKS...

    Need Input: Gaming Table

    Question / Suggestion / Whatever... We used to use a 4x8 table (dining room actually) then switched to using TWO 6x3 folding tables side by side (6x6) in the official "gaming room" (formerly 3rd bedroom, guests go away!) We found this a better fit although occasionally reaching things dead...

    Missing 3.5 errata files from WotC

    I have the Complete Mage and Spell Compendium errata files; and I have the magic item compendium files (2) as part of a larger PDF file that I have. You are right, they are NOT listed on the WotC errata index, but they must have been at some point for me to have downloaded them. This gives me...

    The forum tools menu lists subscribe to forum, but after I did that I could not find it anywhere. I also noticed that the subscriptions folder specifically says "subscribed threads". Is there a place for subscribed forums that I am just not finding, or is this something that is not really...

    Alternatives to "Save the World"

    I used a slight twist a while back of having the players write up their history bio and include one major like changing disastrous event in it. I then tied all these events together into the ultimate evil (which was trying to destroy the world) but THEIR motivation was pure revenge on the BBEG...

    Cheating cheaters

    I quite agree, and this is not the preferred method I would use either, I was just trying to demonstrate that the OP's idea could work. In essence my group makes it work on their own without even trying. I think there needs to be some detailed tweaking. For instance the "caller" does not...
