I think the "Complete...2" books should be named as follows: Complete Arcane 2: Electric Boogaloo Complete Adventurer 2: Electric Boogaloo Complete Warrior 2: Electric Boogaloo Complete Divine 2: Electric Boogaloo I think these titles perfectly capture that certain special something, you know...

I just thought of one that I've been trying to remember for days now. It's more something I've heard people say than I've read on the Internet, but anyway.... Incidents v. Incidences "The last political debate contained only five incidences of bovine scatology." "Incidents" is the plural of...

Ah, I thought of another one.... "The slaves fell prostate before their master." I think Sipowitz (sp?) had a problem with that, too.... Later, Atavar ------ It's official--warforged drool when they drink potions!!!!

Hello Everyone, I have noticed a few annoying (to me, anyway) bad uses of grammar that seem to happen more and more in cyberspace (e-mails, thread posts, etc.). Here is one of my Internet Grammar Pet Peeves: 1. Lose v. Loose: "Loose" is the opposite of "tight." "Lose" is the opposite of...

Hello Everyone, I was wondering what everyone's general feelings are on the use of Action Points (e.g. from Eberron). I DM a Shackled City campaign based in the Eberron setting. We are still relatively early in the campaign, but to me it seems like action points are making things a little too...

Kind of off topic, but since it kind of came up.... I remember reading not too long ago of an optional rule that Monte Cook wrote about. Normally, a spellcaster selects an intersection of grid lines on the battlemant to be the center point of his spell. The optional rule is for the...

Hey All, Here's an article about the D&D Cartoon coming to DVD: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/news/20061004a One of the extras it comes with is a hardcover gaming product with stats of the show's characters. Later, Atavar ------ "No." - Marcel Marceau, "Silent Movie"

Technically, I havn't started this thread yet. I will start it, from the future. When exactly? I really shouldn't say, but...two words...President Gygax! Later, Atavar ------ "Your income tax rate will be randomly determined every April 15 by rolling 1d20." - Pres. Gygax, State of the...

Hey All, Anyone else notice that the main page is still showing Tuesday's news as the latest news? It being Thursday, I'm surprised there hasn't been any updates. I've seen this happen over the weekend, but I don't remember ever seeing it happen in the middle of the week. What's up with...

Yarr! Argh! Fiddlee dee! For some reason I llike the song "You're a Pirate" from that kids' show, LazyTown. I even have it as my MySpace page's song. I keep picturing playing that song as background music during a pirate-themed D&D session. Savage Tide, anyone....? :) Later, Atavar...

New Article I added another link in the original post to an article with a Q&A with Brooks. The article also includes a cartoon picture of Yogurt and Barf! Later, Atavar ------ "I'm surrounded by @$$h0le$!" - Dark Helmet

'Spaceballs' to become TV cartoon: http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/21/television.brooks.reut/index.html EDIT: Here is another article with a Q&A with Brooks about the show (including cartoon picture of Yogurt and Barf!): http://www.ew.com/ew/report/0,6115,1538836_3_0_,00.html Later...

What should you have done? It depends on your group's style. I am currently DMing the Shackled City myself. My group prefers consistency (no fudging), which often plays out as potential TPK's (we even had one, in an earlier campaign). In my opinion, it sounds like you did nothing wrong (with...

My favorite BBEG name I made up: Muroth (pronounced MURE-awth). Just sounds evil to me. My favorite personal PC name: Beren Ritter. There were Germanic influences in the DM's homebrew campaign setting, and I wanted a Germanic-sounding name. My favorite PC name of someone else's PC: Larkan...

Atavar Coramoor was a cleric PC I played (and later DM'ed as an NPC). "Atavar" is a play on the word "avatar," and Robert Jordan fans should recognize the name Coramoor. He started in 2ed D&D, getting involved in the Fate of Istus and Firestorm Peak before embarking on his Planescape career...

Done!

I Should've Read a Little Further.... It turns out the perfect feat for me is in the same book as the swordsage class itself. The Martial Study feat has no prerequisites, and one of its benefits is to grant you the key skill of the chosen discipline as a class skill for all of your classes...

#0024, ordered April 20, 2006 at around 2:15 PM Eastern Daylight Time. What's this "Golden Ticket" I'm hearing about? Seriously, it's the first I've heard of it. My box had a card in it signed by Bill Webb and Clark Peterson, but I assume everyone got one. Later, Atavar ------ "Pain is...

Actually, the special use of the UA feat does allow you to pick one cross-class skill; it is the usual, non-special benefit of the feat that restricts you to choosing two class skills. There's a feat in OA that may allow this? I'll need to look that up when I get home.... As it stands, the...
