I hear ya. And even the so-so books often have some specific use that justifies the money I spent.

Not counting SW Minis (and I only bothered with the first set), I'm easily into the top category. Even ignoring the World's Largest Dungeon, I'm still there. Though a lot of my buying in 2004 was playing catch up. The last couple of 3.0 WotC splatbooks I didn't have, Manual of the Planes...

Silly names like that bother me way less than things like mordern names in D&D. Last game I ran included a guy who insisted on calling his human fighter Joe. I tried to steer him towards some of the suggested human names in the Player's Handbook, but he'd have none of it. It would have bugged...

For some people that's probably exactly why Improved Initiative is so well liked. But the guy I know often encourages other people to take it as well. I'd think if he just wanted to be first that he'd be less of a salesman for the feat.

That happened to me either Wednesday or Thursday. The same day the server reported my previous visit as a couple hours later than my last actual visit. I'm certain I wasn't confused, because on the day that it happened I was eating dinner when it said I'd last visited. All this made me a tad...

Scribe Scroll. Every wizard should have that feat at first level. Oh wait. Nevermind. Spellcasting Prodigy in 3.0 was probably the closest I ever got to a "must have" feat, at least for anyone who ever planned to take any levels in any class that casts spells. Point Blank Shot was another I...

Goblins. Their CR is a measly 1/4, so a 1st level party should be able to take out a patrol of 2 or 3 of them okay. Tack on a level in a PC class and you've got your boss NPC. Why are the goblins a problem? They're hungry and people, while not tasting great, taste better than starvation...

I wear glasses. Never contact lenses. I built my own computer. It works better than most factory-built machines I've used. I use a web browser many people have never heard of. I once installed Linux on one of my computers. I've pulled CAT-5 cable through walls. I used plenum cable. I'd...

Mega scary. I *thought* I was safe. My last scan with Ad Aware (last night) only turned up 5 hits, all cookies from the last time I cranked IE up for something. I'm careful what sites I visit, I don't use IE unless absolutely necessary, and keep Javascript turned off as much as possible...

No one is to mark on my battlemat with anything other than a pen I have handed them. Other than that, I think Thanee's rule covers about 98% of everything else.

Anybody remember the url of the old forums? If so, there's a slim possibility that The Wayback Machine may have archived a copy.

I almost always stick to a single class. The last campaign I was in ended at 13th level. Because of character death I played three different characters over the course of the campaign, all single-classed. It was sort of an unwritten rule in the 1E/2E games I played in that nobody...

Can't help you with the PM issue, but info about the skins is here.

Sorry, MM, I wasn't trying to complain or add to your workload. I mostly wanted to see if anyone else was having the problem in case it was weirdness on my end that I needed to chase down. And as someone who's been "the computer guy" quite a lot, I know your job is thankless and stressful a...

Chessex sells slightly blemished factory seconds for a pretty decent price here. Chessex mentions this on their website, but it's worth repeating. Be very careful what type of marker you use on vinyl battlemats. You want wet erase or overhead projector markers. NEVER dry erase, permanent...

Anyone else having a problem with this? I'm not getting any images at all in the Player's Handbook style. Default seems to be okay, but Sky seems to have the same problem as Player's Handbook. I know I'm the irksome Opera user, but just to be sure I checked in IE and got the same results...

Man, this reminds me of when I first upgraded from dialup to broadband. Everything's so fast! Awesome work on the part of everyone involved. Assuming there aren't any further upgrades going on, I will be curious tonight to see if the new server eliminates the 1am slowdowns.

Hand of Evil, I just wanna say "thanks" for making me not be the only one. :)

It seems the server may be confused as to when it is. I'm seeing a date of "05-08-2004" at the top of each forum, and the time displayed at the very bottom of the screen is 2 hours slow. Not sure what possible wonkiness this might cause, but since no one else's posted about it that I've seen...

Which is exactly *why* they did it. They set up their enclaves, and get friendly with the locals. The locals let their guard down, so instead of thinking "oh, there goes one of those evil Red Wizards", they go "oh, there goes that guy who sells me magical arrows". By being part of the...
