I recently noticed a variation on this one recently... in the show Glee. Watch carefully... All the locker in the school have combination locks hanging off them. But none of the students open or close the locks when they open or close their lockers. The combo locks are always hanging there...

I'm certain it's been the topic of dozens upon dozen of other thread already.

How about an example from another recent thread? Here's the situation: Consider a gaming group with six players. Three of them are young and very new to the game. They play their characters wild and reckless, always trying crazy stunts in over-the-top gonzo fashion. The other three are much...

Here, you've hit the nail on the head... You assumed wrongly. Not everyone always gets to play with people they know or are friends with. I have a long established gaming group and currently everyone in our group is friendly with everyone else. But with the exception of my wife, everyone else...

That's not what I'm referring to... I'm talking about people who, for whatever reason and regardless of how they play the game, don't like each other outside the game, and then one or the other or both use in-game antics to passive-aggressively tweak each other off. Sooner or later, it boils...

Sometimes actions reveal that an individual is not as much of a friend as you might have thought.

Be aware that Dungeons & Dragons is a game, and not a tool for do-it-yourself psychotherapy performed on unwilling subjects.

Eyeglasses... ...when they either leave the lenses out, or they use flat lenses. I understand that the actors need to see straight, but it never looks right.

It'll work because most of the gods involved are . Those that are involved that aren't don't necessarily need to be gods within the context of the adventure.

My Plan for This Adventure: I'm just finishing up the Heroic Tier of Scales of War. I'm tag-teaming out with one of my players -- he wants to DM for a bit, and I want to play for a bit -- so he can continue the current campaign with Revenge of the Giants. In the meantime, I get to prepare...

Fark.com | As if he wasn't cool enough already, now we learn that Terry Pratchett's first act after being knighted was to forge his own sword... Out of meteorites ...the author dug up 81kg of ore and smelted it in the grounds of his house, using a makeshift kiln built from clay and hay and...

+1UP Ditto for us... We've been playing on Sunday evenings for the last twelve years. Everybody knows that the night we play, and knowing that makes it easier to schedule things around the game when possible. Attendance isn't always perfect, but it's not a hassle either. We understand...

No, it's doesn't prove that at all... It proves that a single author in complete control of all the characters in the story doesn't have to the same party stay together in order to get a grand adventure and good story. The last time I saw something similar to this happen in-game, it ended up...

Because their full names are Benjamin, and there are at least two of them.

Perhaps, (and this assuming you mean Jean Valjean from Les Miserables, and not Jean Val Jean the French porn star ;)) but he's a hero working solo in the context of a novel written by a single author. Heroes working in concert with a half dozen other heroes as a team, in the context of a game...

I've found, through long experience, that what this whole scenario boils down to is... How much do you trust your players, and how much do they trust you? Can you trust them to not bring the game to a screeching halt, because they are simply being too stubborn (for whatever reason) to continue...

You're looking at the problem from the wrong point of view. The problem is not really passive checks, but the simple fundamentals behind how traps have always been placed and been presented. The problem lies in the fact that, as a player, it is difficult to tell when you should or should not...

Here's what I've got so far... Items: Versatile Spellbook (Wondrous 11) Mnemonic Staff (Staff 2,7,12,17,22,27) Deck of Spells (Tome 14,19,24,29) Feats: Remembered Wizardry (Wis 13, deva, wizard) Aerenal Arcanist (Elf, any arcane class, Aerenal background) Expanded Spellbook (Wis 13, wizard)...

Right... It'd still be like a small Tunguska impact.
