rotfl Beholder: "DANCE, FLESHY ONES!" (zapzapzapzapzapzap) Munchkin: "Hey! It says in the MM that a beholder can use each of his eyestalks only three times per day! He's outta charges!" Beholder: "ZAP." Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Random thought: Have him roleplay some non-combat aspect of a fighter. For example, my recent Dwarf had a Scottish accent and would frequently mention his "wee axe". Long ago, I had a fighter who'd mention his "Longsword +1, +3 vs. Orc babies". There's more to a fighter than fighting -- but it...

The white box is long gone, but I still have a copy of the old Chainmail. Says 2nd edition, tho. Still have those stupid dice, too. (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Well, as a demo monkey for a few non-rpg companies -- not to mention previous threads complaining about RPGA -- sure, why not have the companies of their own rpg's be responsible for their promotion? CCG companies already do this with their storyline and other tournament systems. I also...

I've cut down 32 and 64-page modules down to one-evening one-shots. The easiest parts to edit out are, of course, the random encounter charts and combats. The plot stays unchanged. But, sure, deviate. I've heard enough comments on the Sunless Citadel that there's room for improvement. Just as...

Eject him, but first see if this technique work. I stole it from a consulting manager. (: Instead of saying "This is the only solution you have", present the client with three options. Two aren't any good, the third is your solution. Him: Wheat? You: Sure. After four hours, you find a farmer...

All I want to know is who'll be playing his p*mp. (; So what's a Chaos Mage and a Paladin doing in the same group? Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Kill 'em all and take their stuff. Or just the new player. IMO, It's rude for a new player to start dictating the play of the group. It's ridiculous for any player to say what is or what isn't a plot. There's probably a better solution, but I'd talk with the original gaming group and discuss...

One of the head-scratchers I had about AD&D was how there was only **one** Magic Missle spell, **one** stat block for an orc, or **one** type of Cursed Backbiter spell. Why is it that in fantasy literature there are all sorts of different variations of similar magic, while in AD&D there can only...

Books, shmooks. (: Hang out on RPGnet long enough, and you'll find a thread about how **few** books are at the gaming table. Of course, these rpg books are usually not D&D, for obvious reasons. D&D **is** more complex than AD&D (!), so referring to a book is often necessary, definitely for...

Yeah, that's the problem with skills. I'd just toss the PC a bone and let him use whichever skill he prefers. Or you could pull a Call of Cthulhu BRP and have him roll against the average of the two skills. Hmm... EQ RPG has the Disguise skill... (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Well, for Paladins, pick up "Call of Duty". It attempts to accomodate varying interpretations of paladinhood. Though not some of the more extereme ones on this thread! As for dumb wizards, mebbe that INT represents "book knowledge". XP represents, imo, more practical knowledge. Just compare a...

Well, as a GM who's preparing pregens for a con game, I've had to put character sheets on a spreadsheet book. Between 2e and 3e, quite a bit has changed in character generation. Quite a few numbers "trickle" throughout the character generation process and spreadsheets make it easier to tweak...

Re: Re: Japanese vs American character development I'd say more AD&D module pregens were like this as well. The background of the characters felt bland to myself. That being said, one of my fave NPCs was this LN cleric of Cuthbert. LN became "bureaucratic", and his whole job was to chaperone...

Couldn't find a good article about the politics of corn syrup, but enjoy the one about sugar. Implied in this article is why corn syrup is in your soda! http://www.opensecrets.org/pubs/cashingin_sugar/sugar02.html Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but you might want to have second thoughts about buying TurboTax this year. I'm just not too wild about low-level software (the SafeCast/C-Dilla technlogy) on my drive. I don't think it's **that** big of a deal, but I have better things to do than worry...

Happens enough in real life. If anyone can find a link to the infamous "Dear Admissions Committee: Which kindergarden should my child enroll in to attend your university" letter, I'd appreciate it. (; "So what do you want to be when you grow up?" Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Random thoughts on Dark Dungeons: * "Looks like the GM is offering Debbie a prestige class in the third panel." * "Where'd these people get such tall miniautres? * "Where'd that speaker get that awful hairdo?" * "Forget the power. I'd sell my soul to that hottie GM anytime!" Cedric. aka...

Flee before this sort of thing happens... (; http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26943&highlight=ab3 Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Or can shake down a MageKnight player for his commons? (: Lego minis actually work with MK figurse. MK requires a 1.5" square (unless you remount the figs), and 1.5" is the right size for a lego mini. **Plus** you can interchange weapons, shields, hats, and stuff with the lego mini's. Let's...
