I think you have the right of it from a legal perspective. The woman who sued DID suffer (albeit unintentionally) costs as a result of the girls' actions. However, they are clearly sorry and offered to pay her costs and acted without malice. Clearly she is trying to milk the "compensation...

Are they getting any time at all to sleep? (eg 20 mins, an hour, a couple of hours)? It is a myth that you need 8 hours a night. Lots of people power nap (myself included) and keep going on that with very little "proper" sleep. Margaret Thatcher used to claim she only needed 4 hours a night...

They have had a UK based company handling European subscriptions for them since around issue 98. I even subscribe directly through them. If you are from the continent you can even pay in Euros. http://www.theplaceforgames.co.uk/ (I do not know whether they handle orders for Europe placed...

I am a UK subscriber and get my subscription to Dungeon through the place for games (which is the UK and, I believe, the European distributor). http://www.theplaceforgames.co.uk/ I have had no problems at all with them (apart from initial teething troubles when they took over from the previous...

A while ago, I am sure I read a designer interview for a D&D computer game (either Baldur's Gate or Temple of Elemental Evil) where they admitted that they had the game fudge rolls to keep the game "balanced." As others have said, I would far rather they adjusted the difficulty in other ways...

Are you paying "The Place for games" in the UK for your subscription, or Paizo direct (in USA)? This matters because VAT is not reclaimable (or therefore chargeable) when citizens of the European Union buy goods in one member state and transport them to their home member state. So, if the goods...

"The Story" my friend, "The Story". Which is to say, the unfolding of events shaped and influenced (at least in parts) by the group of players and DM, within an immersive and compelling framework. The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts and we create something akin to a work of art...

Well, I like your idea about the plane of shadow-that could work for me. However, whilst TS does have a list of what it defeats, I don't think that list is intended to be exhaustive- after all, it has a list of what ISN'T defeated by it, too, and dancer HIPS isn't on either list ;) Oh! I...

True- but a ranger is the "stealth specialist" in the wilderness vs the rogue's stealth speciality in urban/dungeons, so one might expect their skils to be on a par in this matter. The paladin is not merely a militant cleric, however, but more of a holy fighter, so we are in danger of comparing...

Interesting comparison. For me it is the very distinction between (su) and (ex) which matters. The implication being that the shadowdancer is using a magical affinity to shadows and an ability to become one with them/weave them/whatever whereas the ranger is just amazingly good at hiding using...

This seems exactly right to me. Shadows are not an actual substance in the way of vision (as fog/mist/water vapour/tapestry etc is)-they are an area where light is not reflecting back to you as well as in other areas. True Seeing specifically allows sight in darkness/absence of light and thus no...

I think you are probably right- that's what I meant in my later post about being prejudiced against the "lesser" races of D&D. As I said, if there is a clever reason why a particularly heroic kobold rose to great power, then that wouldn't jar with me anyway- BUT I still think they would be...

Ho ho- as a fencer, I have to call out "touche" :lol: I have just seen a few later posts-and will now bow down and acknowledge that my gut feelings are based on nothing more than a baseless prejudice against the downtrodden and truly deserving under races of the D&D world. ;) Everything you...

That could work for me! Well, sure. As you probably can tell, I wouldn't use "Uber-kobold, Defender of all that is Scaly" :D if I was DM'ing, but it just strikes me as a way that the advancement system can come up with (arguably) strange concepts that might strain credulity.

I tend to agree with you. One thing that I do find a little hard to stomach, though, is the idea of, say, a 15th level kobold fighter. For a start it goes against the basic world view of what a kobold should be and for another it makes it very difficult for the players to make a good choice...

Uh, sorry and all that, but I'm not 100% sure I understand the jargon- what exactly is a troll (apart from a regenerating green thing you'd rather not meet)? Don't want to jump to conclusions....

I thought Norway had a high GDP because of its North Sea Oil and low population? Wealth distribution is another story of course....

Interesting, but as others have said, definitely written as a "look what these funny people USED to do" type of piece. The modern role players featured were only given very short clips and it wasn't made really clear that they played NOW. (Hey, there was even a....wait for it....[/I]girl[I] )...

Sounds like a good rationale to me. By the way, Darmanicus has previously teased us with the idea that he may write this story up in a story hour at some point. This episode just teases me even more-come on, Darmanicus, put us out of our misery and get writing :D

Just like to say thanks to everyone for the advice. Also, the support and data sets etc that are mentioned. Are these support for the extra books like complete warrior, built into the program? Or are they just a sort of pdf of the salient points from the book? Looking at the code monkey site it...
