So, I'd like to rebuild a character I played in 3rd edition for 4th. We was a Wizard along the lines of a Mage of the Arcane Order or a Guild Mage of Waterdeep. Since there's simply so much stuff out there, I'm having a hard time finding what I'm looking for and could use a little help with...

After six years of hard work, the school district has recommended that my son's diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder be downgraded. We won't, because the extra help he gets has been instrumental in getting him this far, but we couldn't be prouder of him.

That's a rather poor analogy. As soon as you sign up for an account, you can download the program and use it... In the context of cell phone service, that's immediate activation. This is more along the lines of, say, having new smart phone applications added to the app store only once a...

Does this make twenty-two left to go? Or twenty-eight, between Festivus and me?

It's doesn't have anything to do with mixing drinks (yet), and it doesn't have anything to do with lead. I work at a particle accelerator laboratory at first operating and now repairing and maintaining machines that make and store, amongst other sub-atomic particles, antimatter... and...

Or to look at it from another point of view... It's perfectly spherical, perfectly dense, and perfectly even in a way that only nothing can be.

I, oh understand that... Although I think part of it was the "begging for money" feeling I got from it. Every performance was preceded and followed by a speech that amounted to, "They don't pay us. Give us money or we'll starve." And that might be a part of it as well... All the shows...

I've got to remember that one... We went to the Bristol (WI/IL) Ren Faire for the first time last year. The anachronisms didn't bother me -- although the lack of effort in costuming sometimes did -- as much as the fact that we paid to get in, and then had to pay to do anything and everything...

If you have a copy, the 1E AD&D DMG has tons of charts for this sort of thing.

One of my favorites from back in the day.

And on that note... When in doubt, admit it, rule in favor of the players within reason, and keep the game moving. Look it up later after the session is over, and relay what you find to all the players.

Keep your players out of the light. They hate bright light, especially sunlight. It'll kill them. And keep them away from water. Don't get them wet. But the most important rule, the rule you can never forget: No matter how much they cry or how much they beg... Never, never...

Why not? It'd be an awesome introduction to a Dark Sun campaign, and it'd give the PCs some initial investment in the campaign setting. I think I know what my next project is... Converting that adventure. :D

I can't help but think that I'd use this hook as a trap... Someone is hunting illegal literates, and this is how he lures them in.

Not just lawyers, but a Legal Department, mind you.

No, that entitles you to the products you spent a ridiculous sum on and nothing more. If you thought the sum was ridiculous, you didn't have to purchase the products... That's the miracle of capitalism. But, for that matter, you did get support. The support was: "Sorry, you can't use that...

The difference here is that your sandwich is not a unique intellectual commodity that you are selling so that you can pay the salary of yourself and your employees that you hired to make that sandwich, and also that your brother is not one of millions of rather faceless consumers. WotC has...

No, honestly, I can't. This is America. What's mine is mine. What's yours is yours. I don't have to share, if I don't want to, and neither do they. There's a very simple reason that they likely expected to be blatantly obvious to anyone and everyone... Namely, that this is how they earn a...
