    How closely do you track daily expenses for your players?

    The GM informs us that we have a week in town of nothing while we wait, is there anything we want to do (make scrolls, look for information, etc.) one of the first things I do is declare that I am knocking off 15 gp for food, stabling, and such. I think I am the only one that does it at our...

    Problem of math

    Problem of math

    From the center of our system to the outer reaches of the Oort is about 1.5 LY. I would presume that AC has about the same around it though I have no time to research it right now- sorry, typing one handed while rocking a baby. As far as your assumption that I consider the Oort deep space- I...

    How do monsters spend gold pieces?

    I kinda of thought of it this way- If you kill every merchant you run into you will never get exactly what you want. Also the community thing comes to mind- bands of Orcs have to have their families somewhere and retired Orcs make swords and the 1st level Barbarian Orc isn't gonna try to...

    Problem of math

    So far I am understanding most of the science that is going on, so I think that is a good thing. ;) I wanted to keep some info fresh in the thread- - The diameter of the system is 2 LY from the outer most point to outer most point. Our own system is a little over 3 LY across. - I think I...

    Problem of math

    The Kuiper Belt is out at 30 AU to 50 AU, and the Oort is out to a 100,000 AUs if I recall my Discovery Channel science correctly. A Light Year is about 63,000 AUs if memory serves, so by my understanding our system- while Pluto is only out 50 AUs I was kinda thinking that some of the...

    Is it acceptable for a DM to use disjunction on the PCs

    Disjunction to me is the nuclear weapon of the D&D- you use it expect lots of fall out. Not sure I (as a Player) would ever use it, and if I used it as a GM I think I would be in for a lot of insults and such from my players. Our GM is a pretty nice guy, I am of the mind that if he used it...

    Problem of math

    There were a few to many ideas that I had for adventures between planets, and travel should be free as the open road so gates and worm holes and such won’t really work. It’s a non magic campaign as well, so that too is out. I want no interstellar travel, but the speeds at which I would like to...

    Problem of math

    Need some help here, hope you all might be able to help out- For the longest of times I have wanted to start a campaign in space. The idea is that some thousand or so years in the future mankind has ventured to a nearby system, for reasons that are campaign based (I have Players that post and...

    New "What sort of RPG player are you?" poll (this one by Charles Ryan)

    Mine- You scored as Character Player. The Character Player enjoys creating in-depth characters with distinct and rich personalities. He identifies closely with his characters, feeling detached from the game if he doesn’t. He takes creative pride in exploring different characters, often...

    Text and the Toddler

    Sure can. :o :( :o Suggestion- if your kid is reading disabled have them read to you then explain what they just read. It helps, and the earlier you start the better off your kid(s) will be with their reading and comprehension skills.

    A 3-year-old at Casino Royale!?

    Nope- when I was a kid I was taken only to drive ins. My drunk ass drug addicted parents were conscious enough of the world that they refuses to take us to the theater until we were old enough to sit in front of them in the theater (where our heads could be thumped for making noise, and we...

    Anyone have satellite instead of cable?

    They moved from his place out in the country to a city situation, he left his satalite set up down at his place, and wanted satalite at her place. He purchased the system, and when he tired to get it set up found that customer service was not- they had his money and could not care less. He...

    Text and the Toddler

    Depends on reading ability. My step brother's son was reading Mark Twain when he was 3 (his Mom sat with him, and he read it aloud to her), course his IQ was measured at 185 just last year at 14 years old (he knows at least three languages, and is out of high school). So judge each case as it...

    A 3-year-old at Casino Royale!?

    Taking a child into a none children movie is rude. Rude to those that got a sitter and did not bring their kid. I have spoken to people in the theater about it, most of the time the people take their kids out of the theater so as not to be rude, but some see the world in the light that- "hay...

    Wizards are supposed to be rich, right?

    I think Thanee has a great point here, your GM is seriously lacking. My suggestion- Keep trying to make some coin, be inventive- offer to strengthen the city walls with Wall of Stone, Wall of Iron, or some other combination, offer your services on the cheap. Locate buyers and make them...

    Anyone have satellite instead of cable?

    My exerience with Dish Network is one that is not positive. Mom's boy friend had to have satalite as cable could not reach him in the area he lived in. When he moved to where he had a choice DN screwed him and my mom around so bad that they asked to leave their contract, DN told them they...
