    [Somewhat OT] Mention of D&D on VH1's "I Love the 80s"

    Wow, the Smiths as the most influential band ever....... Like you, I would not have voted that way - of course these things are so bloody subjective... Incendently, the Smiths were pretty big in the States - just in the right circumstances. I would place them in the same prominence catagory...

    If I squeeze your brains, will ideas come out?

    One of the things that I was using in my FR campaign was a cabal (it always must be a cabal) was attempting to revive Moander - so various cultists were going around the Moonsea region to points of power connected through a corrupted version of ley lines. At each of these power points, the...

    [Somewhat OT] Mention of D&D on VH1's "I Love the 80s"

    Ah, the eighties - they bring a smile to my face everytime they come up. My wife and I both graduated from High School in 1989 - so pretty much anything from there I will listen to - even stuff that I hated back in the 80's. For a while Denver had a "retro" radio station that played all 80s...

    Single guys and gaming (yet again)

    Now this just sounds like bad day-time television talk shows..... About 6 months ago, there was a thread highlighting a matchmaking service that was basically filled with girls that liked "geeky" things.

    scent hound, sight hound, herd dog, ratter..

    Well, being an owner of a Greyhound, they are quite good at seeing - especially at distance , hoever, thier ability to smell is limited as a compensation. Thus, I would up thier spot somewhat - - perhaps create a Feat called Far Spot or something like it in effect reducing the range increments...

    Race/Class Combination That Should Never Have Happened...

    Actually I think it is pretty cool as well - the only concern I would have would be the inevitable StayPuff Marshmellow Man jokes from my players. Some other ones to consider Ghoulish Hospitiliar(sp) - if it does not save you, well its got dinner. Doppleganger Shifter - really expanding its...

    (OT) Harry Potter corrupting young girls?

    Trying to avoid anything that may offend Eric Gandma. The question that all of as parents have to ask ourselves is where is that imaginary line drawn? This type of dilema enters into every decision we are forced to make as parents from when we allow a child to play D&D to the current topic...

    (OT) Harry Potter corrupting young girls?

    And this proves again that that more often than not, Truth is stranger than fiction.

    Hastur! Hastur! Hastur!

    This was also used as one of those self-immolation things. You know that you are going to die - so you figure you have a 25% chance of taking you killer down with you - regardless of what they are.....

    wierd rl encounter (ot?) longish

    Actually, I have seen this connection between fantasy and the past - in Time magazine discussing the Two Towers. (IIRC) Specifically, the author attempted to draw a correlation between the idea of fantansy trying to get back to an idyllic (and romanticized) time. He wen on further to state how...

    How a Hippy Hurt My Party (Long)

    Actually, I loooooooove the spell. As a melee focused Druid, (or any other melee char) I generally cast it on myself before combat and then run up and fight away. Then if it turns out that I get whacked down to say -8 hp, my party members do not have to worry about reviving me because I have...

    How a Hippy Hurt My Party (Long)

    Are you sure about this? - This was how our group originally played it, but then after re-reading it - changed it to only those wonds after it was cast.... I don't have my MotW in from of me - so I can't verify.

    How a Hippy Hurt My Party (Long)

    So that you are aware, the Regenerate Wounds spell will only heal those wounds that occure AFTER the spell is cast - making it a pretty good spell instead of an amazing spell!!!

    What's your 3.5e wishlist?

    Give Magic Missile either a Save or a "To hit" role - no auto-damage at first level. Add more skills to the Fighter skill list (not more points, but more skills) I think that this alone will give fighters more differentiation.

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    Of course not all porn shops are like this either - One just has to be more discriminating where they go!!! in a great many ways Victoria Seacret has helped that out considerably.:D

    Should D&D be more American?

    Hmmm, 5 minutes from my house I can find other houses that did not exist there 2 years ago - oh and prarie (and @#@%!@#$$%^ Prarie Dogs - the whole lot of them should be gassed!!!)

    Should D&D be more American?

    Ummm - I think that you mean the Dutch dialect Flemish (or Walloon for the French version) As another note - it is most assuradly pop!!! Generally I have found that Soda is pretty much limited to the Mid-Atlantic and New England states and that once you get past Harrisburg, PA everybody calls...

    Mutants & Masterminds?

    Actually, this reminded me of Champions - heck it seems like there is a one to one correlation of powers to what Champions has (I don't have M&M yet - was looking at it at a friends house) In fact, I commented on the fact that it appears that Green Ronin did in 200 pages what took Champions...
