    How are you going to introduce your kids to gaming, if at all?

    Unfortunately, I didn't meet my wife until my (then soon to be newly aquired-) son was already 11, so I didn't get a chance to shape him into my image. :( By that time, he was a mega sports nut and had little interest in fantasy or sci fi or anything of that sort. Only boy I've ever known that...

    Worst job you ever had

    Worst job ever in the killing of the soul type: Working at a local department store on the sales floor. Nothing like having to smile and be friendly to every too-trashy-to-be-arrested-on-COPS reject and their inbred brats running around screaming and knocking over crap. Lasted 4 weeks. Worst...

    The Oscar Buzz Thread! (Oscar Nominees Announced!)

    Key word there: should. Will it? No. :)

    Anyone got a better name for this forum?

    oo oo oo, I likes, I likes! Can we maybe get some really cheesy MIDI music selections to play in the background for just this forum as well? Morrus? Michael? Bueller?

    One kid, many faces!

    Nope, not getting anything here, either.... Link, please, maybe?

    Which of WotC's 2004 D&D sourcebooks are you currently planning to buy?

    I have GOT to have the Complete Divine, but they better have the part in there with the dog poop. Eberron sounds interesting, if the steam punkiness outweighs the dino bits.

    The book you were all excited to get... and now gathering dust...

    Were you thinking what I was thinking? "Great, the return of Greyhawk! I can resurrect my old 1e campaign! There'll actually be stuff coming out for it! The Barony of Ratik will live again! hoody-hoo" And then..... silence....

    The book you were all excited to get... and now gathering dust...

    Two votes for previously mentioned: ELH. Got it hoping it would be THE answer to what happens at level 21, 31, 41, etc., wanting to see how the classes would progress and what new powers they'd get, what 10th and 11th level spells looked like, etc., bought it, read it, and spent my time...

    Books you didn't expect much out of -bought anyway- and got a lot of use from.

    For me, it would be the FRCS. I'd left D&D when 2e came out and had missed all of the Realms stuff the first time around. I'd been given the impression by all the things I'd read and discussed about it that it was a campaign for over the top fantasy dual sword wielding munchkins where gods...

    Two stupid questions

    Emphasis added. I just don't see the problem, since the title clearly states Miniatures Handbook. It would be like buying a baseball almanac and stating that the problem with it is that it doesn't have stats on football in it.

    I need a good name for a flesh golem...

    With a nod to Best Brains, "Johnny LongTorso... the man who comes in pieces!"

    [OT] Real Life Gaming references...

    Damn, that is disappointing. I was hoping for Use Rope, or at least Sleight of Hand... Mmmm, maybe I do need to consider the BoEF after all. Can't think of anything else RL related at the moment, except that my wife swears a troll lives in our son's bathroom, if that counts...

    Mini Carrying case

    I use these tackle boxes I got at Walmart, "Bait Box Multi Tackle Carrier" by Keter. Has 4 trays that snap in and out of the base carrier, and are very sturdy. I think they were about $7-8 each, I grabbed 4 or 5 of them for about the cost of a single Battlehive. The little dividers are...

    I need a good name for a flesh golem...

    Didn't think Frankenstein's monster had a name, either. Confusing it with the frankensteinish robot in Adam Link, Robot, perhaps? Patches was gonna be my suggestion, so it gets my vote :) Other suggestions: Fleshy Herbert (ala Herbert West, Reanimator) Mr...

    The Village Idiot Would Like to Make a Public Apology

    Yeah, it was well intentioned (even if I am of the 'if it ain't broke, don't break it school :) ), so I don't think Village Idiot applies. Howzabout "Official ENWorld Tinker Gnome"? Too cruel? :)

    Anyone got a better name for this forum?

    How about the "All the Stuff That Used to Knock the Topics You Came Here for Back to Page 3 Forum" :) Only half-serious, of course :)

    Tricky business with light and darkness effects

    I would say that you cast the light spells upon the substance that the Nogra is secreting about itself. That seems to get around the object vs creature problem. I'd consider that since the substance is not actually part of the creature any longer, it should be treated like clothing or some such...

    [OT] Real Life Gaming references...

    We have a D&D Heating and Air in town, which always makes me think of elementals everytime I hear my furnace kick on. The local Golden Pantry had "D&D Sandwiches" (Deli and Dash brand) up on their specials board for a long time, I understood then why I never could ID the meat in them. For a...

    Campaign World calendar- Real world or Custom?

    That is, of course, assuming that the enjoyment of creating or using it isn't enough of a benefit on its own to keep it from being a waste. :) All the time we spend doing this thing of ours would be a waste if we didn't enjoy it (and many people are around that would tell you it is a waste...

    Campaign World calendar- Real world or Custom?

    My game is set in the Realms, so the calendar is built in. It's uncommon that it comes up in the game, however; rarely a reference to a date will surface or a mission will have a date that it will have to be completed by, and the players will have to dig up their calendar. Otherwise, it only...
