I allow my players to choose their age, with the minimum being the minimum on the random age tables. I guess it's a hold-over from the 1e days of slower levelling, but despite the fact that 3e's faster levelling means that aging almost never is a factor in the game, they all choose the lowest...

Haven't had to go searching for sounds in a while, and my favorite site has apparently gone with the wind :( A quick search found this one though, with some useful things on it (animal and nature sounds, mostly).

It's alright, Aaron, just remember back to the psych classes where they stage an suprise incident and then ask everyone individually what they saw to show how faulty human recollection is (e.g. some see a blonde guy, some a redhead, some see a short guy, some tall, etc.). Han shot first, Lucas...

Pretty much the same as Psion, my players make the rolls and I tell them what happens. I have my computer right next to the table and have all the characters' stats and numbers at my fingertips and don't have to ask for them, so it makes it easier to do.

Silliest god ever IMC: Wonvaldez, god of insomniacs. Obligatory favorite Londo quote: speaking to the humans "Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package, how efficient of you."

I used Klooge for quite a number of months, it worked very well.

Oh, I have no problem with a negative opinion of Tolkien, everyone is entitled to their tastes :) While it is my favorite book, I don't believe it is best written piece of English literature and some parts grate on my nerves. Unless I'm very motivated, I generally skip from Old Man Willow...

Once started the group out as customers in a bordello just outside of town that came under attack by a group of goblins. Allowed me a good reason to have them all be strangers in the same place joining together to fight, in addition to giving them improvised weapons and no armor :)

Maybe giant insects down in the deep places aren't quite the threat they are cracked up to be. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/3285725.stm Or maybe it's comforting knowing that after we blow ourselves up, our successors will still creak and pop when they get out of bed in the morning.

Do you ever watch the same TV show twice? The same movie? Listen to the same record twice? Even though you could be listening or watching a totally new thing? Sure, it's a bigger time committment than any of those, but it doesn't have to be to the exclusion of everything else; just like I hardly...

Anyone else feel like they've wandered into ENWorld v3.5? Changes for the sake of changes? :) The new icons are very pretty, but the old icons are very clear and easy to read on a scan down the subject list. They may be bright and gawdy, but I don't have to spend several seconds figuring out...

What about the racist who loves his wife but: a) knows he can escape from the situation without his wife's help and that indeed she would slow him down and hinder his escape, b) knows that if he falls, she will never make it out on her own, c) knows that he has the power, money, influence...

Oh, no no no no no no no. You've already been blessed. We've all seen the extended DVDs of LOTR; we know that all of you Kiwis are close personal friends with Peter Jackson and get to star in his movies and see the finished pics months before the rest of us. You've seen Return already, haven't...

Well, they didn't solve the riddle, but Gandalf does give them a bit of credit. In the chapter "A Journey in the Dark", Merry asks "What does it mean by speak, friend, and enter?" [p 297 in my HM one volume editiion]. Then, once he solves the problem, Gandalf says on page 300 " 'I was wrong...

And the sad thing is, Diaglo XIII will still be stuck in 1974 :)

Date dwarf women. Damn, I hate working back to back double shifts, you miss out on all the good fights that way. And y'all know how us rednecks like a good fight.

Scrappy Doo and Cthulhu, The Early Years Da da da DA DA DAAAA! FTHAGNNNN POWER!!

Let's see, the Complete Warrior would be nice, a couple of mini boosters for my stockings, 4 or 5 selections off my "want list" of Hirst Arts molds, and if I can get my wife to wear the pointy red hat a sexy little gnome under the tree. That should do it.

Embarrassedly, I have it, and it's still sitting in its mailing envelope :( Too much stuff to do lately. I'll actually open it up and look at it later today, and can give you my insights then, for what they are worth :)
