No, but a rules quiz might. Especially if people had to pass the quiz in order to post.

You guys who haven't used the NPC stats are missing out. Those things have saved me so much time I can't tell you. Even if I just use them as a starting point, they're great. A lazy DM's best friend. Though I'll be bad and issue a "me too" on all the reasons people state for not using...

People ignore what they're supposed to pay attention to and pay attention to what they're supposed to ignore. Human beings are contrary like that. My suggestion therefore is to post the rules in a thread in General marked "Please ignore this thread". Then have a moderator close it. Between...

Try studying Scots Gaelic. It wasn't my reason for doing it, but I discovered after a few months studying Irish Gaelic that I had learned to do a passable Irish accent. Course I eventually gave up on the language, but I can still do the accent. Which is handy for D&D, because I've always...

I have my own custom home page stored on my computer. I snagged the logos from all the sites I visit daily plus a few I hate digging through my poorly organized bookmarks for. The logos open the websites in question in new windows. For ages my EN World one linked to the news page, but I only...

I am A+ certified, but I took the test six years ago, so anything I have to say probably won't be of much use to you. That being said, back then the printers section had the reputation as being the hardest part of the hardware half, and it lived up to that. I lucked up and didn't get too many...

I liked Crusade. I thought it showed potential to exceed Babylon 5 itself in terms of quality. Though it helps that I forgot to watch the very first episode, which was the one where TNT got their way on almost everything. Legends of the Rangers..... bleh, didn't impress me. But as others...

Merak, you might try dndadventure.com. Some of the links over there dead and broken, but it might be worth a look for you.

Must be the day for early Dragons. Mine arrived today as well, though I haven't looked through it yet. And between the cover blurbs and Dark Psion's summaries, I won't be in any hurry to. Oddly Dungeon has not arrived yet, even though Paizo's website says Dungeon was mailed a week or so...

Michael the orange is perfect, thanks. One other thing I noticed today that seems odd (but may have been that way before) is the area below a message where the "quote" and online status indicator sits is a different color from the areas above it. It doesn't look bad, it just struck me as...

The best resource I've ever seen for real world calendar information is this FAQ. Been a while since I last read it, but as I recall it explains every kind of calendar there is (solar, lunar, and hybrid) in more detail than most people could ever want. As far fantasy calendars, my experiences...

It looks awesome, man, just awesome. Ads are back, and so is the new posts in bold feature, which I felt lost without. Haven't put it through the paces by messing with the postbit options you describe, but I'll try to at some point. The only thing that sticks out a little bit is the way the...

Don't know exactly how low you're wanting to go on price, but you might check out tigerdirect.com. They sell loads of brands, but I know a few people who've been quite pleased with their Systemax computers. They've got an Intel-based system that you can customize which starts at just under...

Hey, Michael, I discovered something interesting with the no banner ads things. When the CSS wasn't loading last night I tried out some other styles to see if they were working normally. They weren't, but I did notice that banner ads showed up for me in some styles but didn't in others. Today...

Is it just me, or is everything that used to be brown in the Player's Handbook style now white?

You said you recently reinstalled, have you tried using System Restore to roll back to the point of install? Even if you haven't made any Restore Points manually, Windows makes one when you first install.

I subscribe, but I have whole issues I never read, and I swear to myself every year that I'm not gonna renew. Arcane Runes Press nailed most of the reasons I've lost interest, but I'll add one more. The cartoons aren't funny anymore. Dragonmirth was often funny. The caption contest usually...

Wish they'd included the Babylon 5 sets.

Cthulhu's Librarian, I dunno about anyone else, but I have a pretty simple way to tell the difference between literature and fiction. If I can roll rapidly through pages without having to stop and think about what's going on, it's fiction. If I have to stop and think about what I'm reading and...
