    Need Best Man instructions

    One suggestion- Should any of the women be jealous or think that bachelor parties are not a good thing the future wife and her friends might try to crash it, some disinformation might be your greatest move. Drop hint that you are organizing it at one place on the east side of town while in...

    I need your pizza delivery stories

    Couple of them (wonder if these will pass the Grandma test? I will keep them as clean as I can, Mods- edit if I go past that line, plz)- Our local pizza joint (in my youth) didn't have sizes (small, medium, large, etc) instead they had diameter (6", 9", 12", etc) so one of my buddies calls and...

    when does CR/EL not work?

    When doesn't EL/CR work? We got our cans handed to us by a couple CR9 creatures at 12th lvl and there were twice as many of us as them! Why? The room was small, they had reach, and Combat Reflexes. Later (or was it before?) we kicked the holy something out of a creature four levels our...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 buying with 4E on the horizon

    I have no intentions of buying 4e, and have no money to buy 3xe right now, so hasn't changed much.

    OD&D 4E and its effect on 1E/OD&D

    With the coming of 4e I would say that there is a better chance of me switching to 4e then there is of me going backwards to 1e, but only slightly. I see no reason (other then playing in a game with the original designer of the game) to head in what I would think of as a negative direction...

    Division of Treasure

    We gave up on the math of it all. It boils down to this- the Fighter needs a +more sword and one comes up, we give it to him, his old one goes into the loot and is sold. Sometimes he can keep it as a spare, but seldom is that. Arcane spell casters get the scrolls and wands, etc without...

    What do you do with a drunken player?

    I have no tolerance for people that drive after drinking. As the OP I would go excuse myself from the table, get his license number, call the police, and report it- "guy showed up at a get together with some friends, drunk, and yes, he drove himself here. What are my options?" Return to the...

    After years away-

    In '96 I had wash board arms, and was about as physically fit as I could get without going to the gym (though after work I was running, much as I hate that), I was 205 lbs of muscle (from packing lumber up and down stairs and roping sheets of plywood up two stories). In '98 I had lost much of...

    After years away-

    After years after I was injured and had to stop, I am now back into Yoga. I started practicing in the middle of '99 then got hurt and could no longer practice. Everyone once in a while I would try, but my arm just would not let me. Tuesday last I went to the local community college and did...

    Rate Gencon 2007!

    I hated it. Worst Con ever. Why? Cause I didn't get to go. :o Sounds like it was a great Con. Coyote6 seems to have had a pretty good time (ya, he made it). Hopefully by 2010 I will make one.

    Saw something this morning, I wish hadn't happened ...

    Jester, There was nothing you could have done. Witnessing something like that can be a life changing experience. It might help to know that you are not alone. You might feel okay, but you need to be aware that watching that can come back at you years later. Find someone to talk to and...

    D&D 4E Things to do while waiting for 4e hype to fade

    1 - Count the number of 3e books you bought 2 - List all the House Rules you or your group wrote for 3e. 3 - Count the number of 3.5e books you bought 4 - Compare all the House Rules that you wrote that are in 3.5e 5 - Convert your characters to 3.5e 6 - Start calling your House Rules, 3.5e...

    A lawyer's trying to grab my aunt's estate.

    Here is the States (not sure how it works in the UK) I would go down to the DA's office and camp out, explain the situation and see what criminal charges could be drummed up (doubtful any could, but worth looking into) then talk to a lawyer and see if suit can be brought against the lawyer. Go...

    Are you worried about character conversion from 3.E-4.E?

    You missed an entry on your Poll- Not going to convert. Had little interest in 3.5e (though we use a few of the spells, but little else). My wife and I have no money for more gaming books, so its highly unlikely that we will even consider purchasing the PHB.

    What to do with "extra" skill points?

    Cross Class, even if its just one point, later when that happens again (if it happened once it could happen again) you can get that up to a full point.

    Random Act of Kindness

    Never approach them about it, make sure you do say hello and such to them when you see them. They want only to help you out and not to be known for what they have done. Remember that when you can- 'pay it forward.' Kindness is a cycle, if you stop its movement then you belittle where it came...

    Requiring Players To Draw The Dungeon Map!

    Not required, just suggested. We have a 4'x8' table with plastic and 1" grid on the it, real easy to draw, set up the battle. It makes it really easy to draw the map on a piece of graph paper. Our GM generally gives us copies of it after the campaign is over, but I like to have the copy I...

    I don't get firing into melee

    Given that situation I think I would tell him this- Me - "you need to hit an 18 AC, you are not taking the -4 for shooting into a fight with your friend so... you roll between a 14 and an 18 and you will hit your friend. Oh, and I will have you roll for to hit on your buddy if you miss your...
