    Say if I'm a paladin can I get a demon cohort?

    What about good old Vuron from the Gord of Greyhawk novels? Not exactly a good demon, but one with some sense of honor who could end up in a situation where he has to temporarily work with/for a paladin as a cohort without giving up his evil nature. Could a paladin associate with a cohort like...

    Plot twist for a "heist" - help, please?

    OMG that's embarrassingly funny... "I'm sorry, but the High Council of Wizardry has revoked your summoning rights." so... er... summoning rites! ;)

    Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

    I... actually met a girl!

    Think of it this way, the worst case scenario is that your wife is a lesbian. She's not going to die of it so count your lucky stars. Best case is that she's straight and things just seem weird. Middle ground is that she's bi-sexual or in a 'curious phase' where she wants to explore things. It's...

    Satellite killed the Radio Star

    Both companies continue to grow though, and show less loss per user each year. Those are good indicators for future profit and well made companies. If they can continue that trend (marginalize costs while expanding user base) they will reach a point of profit and from there it's about running a...

    Finding the contact info of a given WotC author

    Easy as pie: Drive to the WotC offices. (Direction Sense DC: 15) Hide in the bushes. (Hide DC:18) Watch for the author in question to come in and park his car for the day. (Spot DC: 12) Wait until there is nobody around and hide in the back of the car. (Hide DC: 25) Don't get cooked by the sun...

    Plot twist for a "heist" - help, please?

    What else is in that book? Perhaps the crazed old woman also has half of the formula for becoming a Lich figured out? At least she thinks she does! You could throw in a million plot hook ideas in her 'journal' and when/if the PC's read the journal they could discover almost anything: Something...

    Satellite killed the Radio Star

    I grew up in Michigan, moved to LA, then to Chicago, and then back home to Michigan (and now I'm moving to San Diego). Radio sucked in the 80's in Michigan (West side). All 70's rock, country, and pop schlock. Radio sucked in LA with the exception of KROQ 106.7 who had the nerve to play a lot...

    Favorite pie?

    If anyone is really interested in the "baking = science" track I strongly recommend On Food and Cooking by Harold McGee. This book takes the kitchen on with a labratory approach. The result of reading it is that you don't just learn what happens, but you understand why. It's very crunchy, but...

    When the GM gips you (a rant)

    Not enough information. Need to know who this NPC was and what their relevance to the overall campaign is... report back in after your next session. Perhaps this is the BBEG and it's supposed to be a first (and painful) blush in a 'getting to know the neighbors' sort of way? Don't throw the GM...

    Leadership, UH, What is it good for?

    I'd imagine that some arcane casters would follow St. Cuthbert because they actually put their faith in the Deity... you don't have to be a cleric to be 'classed' and in a particular faith. Perhaps this wizard is assigned to your cleric by the church to fill that gap deliberately? The church...

    Living with room-mates.

    Talk about communication up front. Then communicate regularly. Set a weekly 'House Meeting' where you all sit down for an hour and talk shop. Nobody else is allowed to be present -- not even girlfriends. Talk about the bills that are due in the next week, grocery needs, and any 'issues' that...

    Wizards are supposed to be rich, right?

    Um... how about you sit down with your DM after the game session and ask him how you two can work together to find a way for your character to make some extra cash? Before you listen to the people who are saying to write him off, give him a chance to work with you outside of the game experience.

    A 3-year-old at Casino Royale!?

    There is a thing sociologists call a 'social norm' by which they mean an unwritten law that the larger pool of society's members adhere to. One of those norms is that you don't take young children to movies that aren't for young children. If you do this, you may well be within your legal rights...

    Anyone have satellite instead of cable?

    I live in the sticks. It's Satellite or rabbit ears where I live. I started with DirectTV to get the NFL Sunday Ticket package and loved it. When my contract ended and I moved to a new house I switched to Dish to get a free DVR (TiVo) thinking the channels couldn't be any different. I was wrong...

    D&D 4E Default setting for 4E?

    No default setting information in the PHB. None. Not GH, nothing. In the DMG there should be chapters on how to design a home brew world, pantheons, and PrC's -- with an example or two from WotC settings that will receive 4E support -- including contextual information as to why the setting...

    White Wolf and CCP merge...

    CCP didn't aim low and hope for moderate success -- they built the best game they could possibly make (at that time) and then hoped for the best. When the game came out and the numbers made themselves clear CCP merely aligned their business to match their reality (I have no insider...
