    Need help for 4 hour one shot D&D game

    Buzz on the Bridge is from Dungeon 110, May 2004. Wreck Ashore is available for free and legal download here. According to this site Gorgoldand's Gauntlet appeared in Dragon Annual #5, published in 2000. Another adventure that I've thought of since my earlier reply is Goodman Games' Dungeon...

    Need help for 4 hour one shot D&D game

    How long do you have before the event? If you've got at least six weeks, I recommend the RPGA. They've got a storehouse of free adventures designed to be run in 4 hour blocks, complete with pre-generated characters. The catch is that you have to pass the Herald Level DM test, and once you do...

    Any word on these two movies?

    I haven't read the original interview, but what amazes me is the way this keeps getting reported. Stop and think for a minute. Here's a guy whose entire body of work is humor. And yet people expect that they should take what he says in an interview seriously? The quotes and excerpts I've...

    Southtrust bank scam

    FWIW, this site will let you put in an IP address and tell you who it's currently controlled by. In this case it's part of a block controlled by a group headquartered in Australia that doles out IP addresses in the Asia/Pacific area. Looks like that specific IP is part of a large block...

    Complete computer kits for the novice?

    That's the way I did it when I built mine. In fact I hooked the power supply up before I had the CPU in, just to do a "test fire" that the power supply and motherboard were good. I can understand the appeal of installing components on the motherboard first, especially if you have a small case...

    What songs should I cover?

    So is it a song limit, or a time limit? Because the full 45 minute version of "Thick as a Brick" just doesn't get played nearly often enough, either live or on the radio. :) More seriously, I've been playing John Lennon's Acoustic cd all week, so I've got Lennon/Beatles on the brain. There's...

    Complete computer kits for the novice?

    You won't save money by building yourself. If you wanna sort of jump into it anyway, tigerdirect.com used to sell kits where you get a case, motherboard, and processor pre-assembled and the rest is DIY. They look deceptively cheap, but the costs of other components add up. Another thing to...

    Recommend/review electric razors.

    I'm about as hairy in the face as Ranger Wickett's avatar there, but for the inch or so of neck that I shave, I use a Norelco Spectra 8825 XL. It's one of those that's got a lot of pivot points for the blades and beats any other model I've ever used. If you've never used an electric before...

    Is wanting to destroy the world really all that evil?

    You're right. I was answering the original poster more in terms of how I view things in the real world, where he was asking about things within the ethical system D&D uses.

    Is wanting to destroy the world really all that evil?

    I guess I disagree with all the people who say automatically evil. You talk about destroying the world and I think "crazy", or "demented", but not necessarily evil. Every reason I can think of why someone would want to destroy the world or all of existence basically boils down to a drastic...

    Upgrade Bug Hunt!!

    Those settings in the USER CP that let me switch New Topics in Bold on/off, Post Icons on/off, etc. don't seem to be working now. At leats not in Player's Handbook. Haven't checked other styles.

    Upgrade Bug Hunt!!

    reanjr, I'm using Opera 7.54u1 and I'm getting backgrounds just fine, in both Player's Handbook and the default style. Not sure if I ever used 7.51 or not, but I've never had problems with the backgrounds, and I'm even set to ID as Opera, which I understand sets the strictest rendering rules.

    Upgrade Bug Hunt!!

    Broken images aren't isolated to Electric Blue. I've got them on Player's Handbook as well. All the little formatting things like Bold and Italic in the compose window that everyone else has mentioned. Not that I particually miss them, but thought it might help track them down if you knew it...

    There be dragons here!

    That's gonna be on TV? I wish it was in IMAX instead, even though I'd have to drive at least two hours to see it.

    Sleep Advice

    Melatonin. I am a chronic insomniac, and this is the only thing that works for me regularly. 2 mg of the sublingual variety taken at 11pm and most nights I'm asleep by 1am. On nights I don't take it (usually the weekends) I'm rarely to sleep before 5am. The thing with melatonin is that it's...

    Do you make your own adventures?

    I used to write my own all the time. In fact I used to be like some of the other posters who've said running published adventures was always a bad experience. But I took a long break from D&D during the last few years of 2nd Edition, and ever since I came back I've found adventure creation to...

    Need some help related to players

    There's RPG Registry, but it seems to me that EN World's Gamers Seeking Gamers and WotC's Gamer Classifieds forums see a whole lot more traffic. Though it probably doesn't help that the latest "site news" item on RPG Registry is from 2002.

    Round robin gaming group -- almost a reality!

    Eric, the RPGA's module writing guidelines may help you on the timing issue. RPGA modules are written to be played in a specific amount of time (4 hours I think), and I distinctly remember their guidelines including a firm number of encounters that could be played during that time. They also...

    Rolleyes smiley is back?

    Uhh, speaking of being rude and all, direct linking to an image stored on someone else's server without having their permission to do so is also considered rude by some people. I have no idea if seochat.com has given anyone specific permission to link to their images, but a quick skim of their...

    Alternate epic level rules

    Surprised no one's mentioned this yet, but the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting includes a very simplified set of epic rules. They're brief enough to fit in a half-page sidebar. Page 289 if anyone's interested.
