    Boardgames: Diplomacy!

    I'm in. I've only ever played one other game as Italy, which I got stabbed (badly) by a poorly-played France - net effect was to tie us both up until "bigger powers" decided to munch both of us. Interested in making it deep for once in a game... I'll go for random, but I will now offer a d20...

    OOC: If you exert yourself, you can hold your breath for your CON/2 rounds before you start drowning. If you don't do anything, you can last for CON rounds.

    1st level Adventures...I hate 'em, and I need 'em!

    I had a weird idea, inspired by some comments about B2 by EGG (I think) and some comments about "the DM's pet NPC." Gary said that the way he originally ran the games, each player would hire 3-5 hirelings, and they (the hirelings) would do most of the fighting - this was how Clerics would...

    Vargo keeps swimming like crazy. Swim check: 15+1=16 (2nd round swimming, Con14, so he's got about 5 rounds before he starts making the bugeyes.)

    How adjudicate a shield worn on the back?

    Nope, I didn't think you got it from Troy... ...I thought you got it from watching Fellowship of the Ring and yelling at Boromir "It's a SHIELD, damnit! It doesn't do you any good on your back, EQUIP it and block those damn arrows!" I'm pretty certain the only time he ever has it out is when...

    After the light winks out, Vargo decides that whatever is down that way is probably not very safe - and swims for the side passage. (Swim check: 16 - I think there was also a call for an init roll, but not sure if it's phrased for wanting another - if not, I rolled an 8, if so, I'm rolling...

    FLGS in Seattle

    There's always Wonder Worlds - http://www.wonderworldbooks.com/ Ignore the Synnibar ads - I seem to remember that the owner got a massive overstock of their books at one point, and has been trying to foist them off on any hapless idiots who happen to come by ever since. WonderWorld (which is...

    What is the cleverest thing you've done to get out of a bad situation?

    This was an old 1E game. It was my first night with this group of players, and most of them were around 11-12th level. In the kind of logic that was common in 1E games, I was made to start as a 6th level Druid. We were exploring a cave system, I don't remember why... Lots of comments were...

    What two domains would your cleric pick?

    I'm a "Knowledge and Madness" sort myself - but then again, I have a preference for the 3.0 Madness domain, and trying to grab the Alienist PRC @ 6th level as well. Think about it - an insane Cleric worshipping Things That Men Were Not Supposed To Know...

    Ashy, do you want me to post a "post-through the gate" action as well?

    The Prisonkeeper

    In every world, there is a great evil that lies imprisoned beyond the bounds of the known. In Greyhawk, it is called Tharizdun, and its wakening would spell the doom of the whole world. Chained in their prisons, these dark forces yearn for freedom - and many maddened individuals work to free...

    Vargo, Human Cleric Vargo's madness leaves him as quickly as it posessed him, and he looks around bewildered. He sees the portal he is beckoned towards, and runs through it, hoping to find the others that were on the coaster with him.

    A poor death for a warrior

    So, I was running this little deathtrap named Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. Since my story is rather spoilerific, I'll have to wrap it...

    I'm alive, I've just been slammed by the triple threat of: Being the only Helldesk employee without vacation this christmas My wife's birthday Christmas :) If you can assume through Monday next week that the ride temporarily reactivated Vargo's temporary insanity spells, and he's gibbering on...

    Init: 8 Alternately howling like a banshee and screaming like a frightened three year old, Vargo is obviously both enjoying the ride and terrified out of his skull.

    Weapons as special effects

    Have you thought about setting the DCs to something like 10+(d/v) where d = damage, and v = some number like 5 or 10? 10 would be very good, as it would keep the DCs reasonably low, the math easy, and the game fast.
