    Need a title- Little help please

    Harmon- sorry that I cannot help you. However I recognize the plot you described. About two years ago I was in a restaurant and I over heard two guys talking- they looked like father and son, the youngest was about thirty. He was telling the older guy about this book he read and how he could...

    How to tell a friend's girlfriend to get a job or something?

    Everyone that has said- don't get involved is very right and sounds as though they have had at least one opportunity to do just what you have the chance to do right now. I think Harmon’s suggestion of getting it all on paper is the best idea. Nellisir’s idea of shutting off the cable should...

    When PCs Die When the Player's Not There

    I collect all the PCs at the end of the session, including gear sheets. Everyone has a back up Player that plays their characters if they can’t show the next weekend. Should a PC die under someone else’s control then that person’s character takes a 25% hit on xps. Its kind of harsh, but it...

    How do people afford to live?

    I come from a fairly rich family. Raised traveling the world, had a couple of maids, promised a car when I got to be sixteen, credit card at twelve, and all that you could ever want. When I left home, I left all of it behind. I lived on the streets, with friends and such, until I could get my...

    <Rant> Where has courtesy gone?

    You have my vote Hijinks. I agree. Recent events placed me in the position of using crutches and most recently a cane. I am not very big (5’4” and just over a 110 pounds), more often then not people would see me coming and hold the door for me. Saying thank you was a must (for me), and...

    Song of Fire and Ice question

    Harmon, I just reread the three books again. I didn't see anything on our favorite "dance teacher" after his duel with Ser Meryn, but then I was not looking either. Meryn does reappear however. Much as I would like to think that Syrio survives I do not think he could unless he just simply...

    Effect of axial tilt on a planet

    It was my understanding that Luna has not had a very active core that the "melted rocks" found on the moon that were once thought to be volcanic in nature were actually left over from heavy duty impacts? Is there some source that would support either of our theories that anyone knows about.

    How would you like the world to end?

    Is "not in my life time," an option? :) In some what that would allow me to find those I love and spend my last moments with them. There should be no pain and no suffering for anyone. Which ever that is- would be the one I would prefer.

    Effect of axial tilt on a planet

    There was a show on Discovery about the moon's effect on the Earth and how once it leaves it will total screw up the planets tilt and how that will pretty much kill all life on Earth. Can't recall the name of the show. Little experiment you maybe could try- take a ball put two opposing points...

    Comfort withcross gender characters based on your gender

    I think Harmon is concerned that the prejudice of the last thread will find its way into this thread and it will not be closed soon enough. Threads like this one bring out the worst in us all, I know it brought out the worst in me at the worst time of my life in recent memory. Keep it civil...

    Is it fun being an adult?

    Yes and no. Just remember to be patient, take your time and that everything will work out in the end. If you can remember that- then you will do okay. :cool:

    So what do/did you study in college? Did you bother with college?

    Paid for it myself. Financial aid wanted to know to much information that I was not able to give them. Have not tried in a few years to get assistance, maybe I should try again. I find it very interesting the amount of people that are gamers that have degrees.

    What one thing you ever done in your own personal history defines you?

    Letting go of my family, my past and seeking a better life- the life I wanted nearly nine years ago is now the one I have. :) Drop kicking two guys in the back, then standing my ground against a half dozen guys while my girlfriend ran for help. It was a slaughter, but it truely defined me...

    So what do/did you study in college? Did you bother with college?

    Lots of computer degrees here. Very interesting. :uhoh: Got my high school equivalency a year after leaving my family. Waited a few years so I could sign up for college without my parent’s signature. Sense then I have been going three to four days/nights a week, with 2 to 12 credits per...

    Need DM advice or help

    Talk to him Talk to your Player. Let him know that his consistant Shape Change choice is not helping your campaign energy. If he continues- well, it is a high level campaign, it might be time to either accept the fact that you will have to deal with things like this or that it's time to...

    Surprisingly Useful Spells

    Shrink Item Hold up in a dungeon all night long with a large rock placed just right outside the door, no one can come in or out unless they have Stone Shape or can get through rock by some other means. One of my Players claims that Hold Person has the verbal component of "hold still," followed...

    To: Harmon Doing pretty well, Harmon, I am not back on my feet yet however. I have been avoiding EN World because of the feeling I was getting from certain threads and certain people posting on EN World. Its understandable that some of them thought I was saying one thing when I posted my...

    Playing cross-gender PCs

    I have. A couple weeks back my girlfriend and I were attacked. Apparently the attack occurred because she had denied one of them- “the chance to get to know him.” During the attack I was beaten into unconsciousness, bones were broken- I was lucky however, none of the injuries were long...
