Given that I'm looking for a group and 4e's coming up, I'd like to pick the brains of the ENWorldies and find out if there are any good FLGSes in town that I should know about, but particularly if they offer ample playing space and fairly regular dates to see some example games. None of the ones...

Well, with Second Life's Lindens and other RPG currencies being traded for real-life dollars, we're actually seeing that I think. Several lawsuits have come up, trying to clarify what exactly constitutes legal use or copying of user-made in-world products and currency trade in artificial worlds...

Yeah, but if the new Sleep is any indication, the tension seems primarily to be about whether or not your daily power will actually be of any use, since it has a roughly one in 4 chance of actually sending an opponent to sleep, and I'd assume that in general, boss type enemies may often have...

OK, I'll bite. Things I like... I like the unified defense and attack progressions. It simplifies things down a bit, and probably helps maintain balance. I like the bloodied condition. This is tempered by the overall lack of a condition track for other effects... I like that Fort, Ref, and...

For a less humorous take on the question.. "Do any theories of Normative ethics support the principle of 'killing things and taking their stuff'? Why or why not?" For a slightly more humorous take... "Which is more important to adventure design: Orcs or Pies? Support your argument with...

Just delete, please.

One thing people don't necessarily know: corn ethanol is rich in byproducts. The byproducts are often times capable of recouping the cost of production even without subsidies. So the ethanol itself is actually a kicker. Which is one reason we produce it. Furthermore, grain prices aren't just...

I like the way Robert Jordan put it in the Wheel of Time books. While they started dragging after a while, sometimes he had some nice material. "Death is lighter than a feather, but duty is heavier than a mountain."

PPG?

1) On a d6? WAY INCREDIBLY too harsh. On a d20? Still too harsh. If you want them to use guns, make them worth picking as compared to say.. using a bow. 2) A bow can potentially net you a +1 through a +5 in strength bonus, plus is a martial proficiency, and is 1d8 and it's crit stats are...

Hong: I've thought about that the last few days, and I agree with you there; they should definitely have some examples which use the diagonals as they're likely to be used. I'm not sure WotC will actually do that though.

If anecdotal evidence from DDM players is worth anything, the reports from DDM players on this board conclude that ainatan's examples are more common than you suggest at all levels of DDM skill, as some board members say that's 90% of all defensive situations faced in DDM. It's also the logical...

Everytime TVTropes is linked, I generally lose about 8-10 hours wikiwandering. I think I've read every trope entry at least 2-3 times...

I assume you have a fairly large collection of Far Side cartoons? Larsen's science content's occasionally pretty high. Also, if you like metaphysics along with your physics, Dresden Codak has some science-related jokes that are worthy. Good art, too. Doesn't update more than once a week...

Getting around: get a cab, or get a bus. The city changes a lot as hotels rise and fall, so maps may be unreliable as to what roads are closed, and certain sections have bizarre road patterns. Spring Break crowds: depends on when you're going. Late Feb./early March? Good luck avoiding spring...

One thing you might use to ensure that "outsider" PCs have permanent hooks back into the city is simply ask that all PCs have ties to specific groups or NPCs inside the city. If, as a trader, you know the merchant's guild well and have your eyes set on marrying someone inside the town somewhere...

Correct, but if we assume that it's moving, then it's managing to "be a square" because nothing else can be there. However, in the case of say... a 90' line of effect, it's hard for a player to not feel shortchanged when the wizard gets blasted for being 18 squares away diagonally, while the...

So tell me.. if it's only due to the idea of "slot limits," based on tier why can't the guidelines just say "In general, once your players reach a new tier, you should let them pick up items in another slot that previously they have not used." It makes a highly specific rule more generalized and...

How bout calling it That Darned Horse, ThaDH, or Thad? Imagine a grumpy paladin with a celestial unicorn mount that he's perenially annoyed with.

I also suggest the portal workers to site then remove portal idea. Keeps you in control, but doesn't require as much effort to be obscure. Also highly recommend the 'build multiples' option. Don't necessarily need to go the whole hog, but enough that you'll at least have a tower everyone thinks...
