    I want to give a big shoutout to the Socceroos. They would have earned to go to the quarter finals. Congrats to a great team. You wrote history by coming this far :) Since I went to Oz for 5 weeks early this year I am a big fan of the country *g*

    Where do you get your inspiration?

    Aside from reading books and watching TV from time to time.... Reading ENWorld boards :D The forums here are an endless supply of inspiration. And you get that inspiration from the off topic forum through General forum down to Meta. Sometimes even a post that was not meant to be an idea for an...

    New Greyhawk Hardcover

    Hehe, it's like when you have a new boss. And you just cannot stand that guy. But the company is too cool to just leave because of him. Then comes the time "waiting it out". Having said that I wouldn't be surprised if some of those settings of the past would make a comeback in the not so near...

    Why is Min/Maxing viewed as bad?

    There is one faction that defines MinMaxing as hardcore powergaming with no regard to the roleplaying aspect game. Faction 2 defines MinMaxing as character optimization to survive what the Evil DM (tm) might put their path and they perhaps like to have nice numbers on their character sheets. I...

    Why is Min/Maxing viewed as bad?

    Actually I think that this hard line that is sometimes drawn on these forums does not really exist on most game tables. In the end it is all about having fun in the group. And if someone would come to me and tell me "THIS is the way the game is meant to be played" while there is an endless...

    Why is Min/Maxing viewed as bad?

    You are quite agressive in your posts. But again, you are trying to impose onto others how the game should be played. Which is, in my opinion, wrong. It is up to every group to decide how D&D is to be played. Be it a competitive game style where a group tries to "beat" the module or a...

    Why is Min/Maxing viewed as bad?

    The question is why it is seen as bad. It is just another way to play the game.

    Why is Min/Maxing viewed as bad?

    I dont see min-maxing is a bad thing all over the place. If you think about it then min-maxing is a natural thing. Look at professional sprinters, football players, computer specialists, etc, etc. They do min-maxing as well. Look at roman gladiators or English longbow men. They all aimed for the...

    What's so special about this huge gemstone anyways?

    Yup, but if the players would hold the fist directly into the sunlight they could barely see that there is something embedded into the center of the fist. It looks like a piece of paper with something written on it. If they manage to get that paper out of the glass fist they could a read...

    Sell me on creating new d20 fantasy PDFs . . .

    Dunno, I know a good number of artists in the CG industry that do alot of work aside from their day-to-day job. Visiting some of the CG community sites like cgtalk.com is a good example of people creating things just because they love what they do.

    Boycott VH1

    MTV and the likes stopped being music tv stations about 6 years ago. Since then they are nothing more than paparazzi-voyeuristic celeb soap programs. :confused: p.s.:Not to forget that they are the premier place to buy ring tones :D

    Since yesterday evening Switzerland is acting really crazy, for Swiss standards anyway. I think some folks will party through to the Switzerland-Ukraine match. I really, really hope they make it to the quarter finals so they can play against Italy :D And the Swiss LOVE playing against Italy...

    Tomb of Horrors

    Ok, and what is the problem with that? In the old DMGs there was that line about rules and how close you should follow them. Something like "They're guidelines, not binding rules"....As if a DM would always follow the rules :o

    Fudging dice rolls

    I use a screen but combat and similar things are always rolled in the open. So there is no fudging on my side.

    Which DND God would you worship?

    Zagyg. Mad mages going divine are high on my list. If he does not allow me into his doodhood I'd choose Sune to forget about him :)

    Why people like to play OD&D (1974)

    The reasons why we play OD&D from time to time: -Simplicity -Very light rules -The rules concentrate on the bare necessities -Superfast character generation -DM has full power so the players can concentrate on the story, not on the rules. Nostalgia is not part of the list since most uf us were...

    Top 10 odd D&D weapons

    Thanks for that link. It made my day :D Thinking about the 1000 different ways to self-inflict damage with the "Unbelievably Dire Flailing Whipaxe" was a fun thing :] Methinks I have to throw that weapon to a PC
