"So you see, this USB drive functions sort of like a phylactery, except instead of housing your soul, it stores your valuable data, and instead of an unholy ritual of blood to activate it, all you need to do it plug it into your USB port. Much simpler!"

Well, perhaps I was just using it wrong, or it wasn't well suited to our campaign. Needless to say, I didn't get much use out of it. I'll also cast a vote for Hero Builders Guide as a candidate for worst as well.

I too think the best combo given what you've laid out is Monk=Priest and Bard=Rogue, though I now want to go back to my 1st edition players handbook and reread the Bard entry, just for nostalgia's sake.

Best book: hard to say. The short answer is "whatever's grabbing my imagination RIGHT NOW!!!" But if I had to pick one: The red Moldvay basic book, because I started there and it basically fed my imagination for years when I was a kid. Worst: Stronghold Builder's Guidebook. Just. Dreck...

Baldur's Gate II for iPad? That's fantastic news! I just looked on their site, and apparently release is still pending, but here's hoping it will happen before the very long plane ride I have coming up in a few weeks.

Janx is an island unto himself.

Oof. That went right past me.

I'd watch those. Repeatedly and with great joy. I just downloaded several of the Big Finish audios of McGann's Doctor on the strength of this minisode alone.

Wellllll, alright. But we expect you to do better on your next exam. Not just anyone can be a geek you know!

Ah well, Vecna is good too. But there is a pretty good array of stuff on Tharizdun floating around if you care to look. I remember digging deep when I was considering running a "Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil" campaign at one point. I was sort of fascinated by the various double games...

Yeah sorry Morrus. Just got annoyed.

The new version of the old Chill game is called Cryptworld. It uses all of the old mechanics, and even the art is reminiscent of the old game. Like I said, I need to find a chance to play it!

See, there is a point, Robin, where you just come off like a troll. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. But if it makes you happy, then fine: All of Robin's comments are always right, any facts to the contrary notwithstanding. And anyone who disagrees with him is always wrong. There...

I remember playing Chill when I was a kid, the older edition, not Mayfair. They actually recently re-released that old edition again, filed off the serial numbers and gave it a new name. I've got it in my PDF folder somewhere. Now I need a chance to play it!

And might I suggest, Robin, that your original reply to Jhaelen, while more strongly worded than I'd like, was more than adequate to make your point, and the next one was really just piling on. Once you've made your point, there's not a lot of reason to keep coming back to the well.

Yeah, another vote for Tharizdun here. Plenty left to be done with that concept, and lots of back story to work with.

If Enworld is different it's because we respect the rules set out by Morrus and the mods, and a culture of respect has grown up around the knowledge that the rules will be fairly enforced. That's not a function of Enworders per se, but the behavior that's expected and encouraged at Enworld.

I can't help noticing that it's often pretty easy to identify OTTers in this and other threads simply by the tone of their responses. It's ... markedly different ... from what I've come to expect at ENWorld. And I have to say it doesn't seem to be having the most salubrious effect on the discourse.

Well, having read through all of these posts, I now feel as though I understand some of the recent exchanges on the forums slightly better. At the very least I now know what an OTTer is. I have to say, I've been on these boards, and on Eric Noah's predecessor boards, for I guess about 13 years...
