*tips cap to barsoomcore* I agree with the judges on this - far from my best work. I'll make all the usual excuses; I wrote it in two hours and didn't even have time to proof it, I was worried about my family problems, I was tired - ah who am I kidding, barsoomcore wrote the better story. All...

To paraphrase an old, old joke: "That's God; he likes to think he's Jim Ward." It astonishes me that a "trained gaming professional" is so thin skinned that he can't cope with negative reviews. (who trained him btw? The use of the word trained implies that some training was done somewhere by...

My wife's bard character once used mage hand to slap an illithid in the face with its own tentacle - that's the best use of a telekinetic effect I've ever seen.

Will their story mention how many of the US/UK coalition soldiers are gamers?:D

I always thought that a munchkin was a player who thought that their character's power(s) were the whole point of the game. The kind of people who would say "You want to dual wield and didn't take one level of ranger? That's dumb!" and things of this like.

Picture 2 is in paragraph four. In my rush to finish my story I forgot to reference this one directly.

A prayer that I'm not too late. “As you can see, the mickelmas bee is naturally quite docile,” said the sage happily. “As long as the queen is not threatened the hive will not treat you as any danger at all.” As he was speaking, the bees in question were crawling all over his wrinkled face...

*Doffs cap* Great round Thimble the Squit. My thanks to the judges - your money is winging its way to you via paypal, as per your request.;) Now, to boldly go where NoOne(ofConsequence) has gone before - the second round of Ceramic DM.

My entry - unnamed Treffin balanced his fighting knife by the point of its blade on the palm of his hand. It was a trick that he had almost completely perfected and he used it frequently to exude an air of professional indifference; the look of a competent mercenary too experienced to be...

Message received and under...consideration?

Replying from back to front: I agree that this is an excellent thread with a worthwhile subject area. Rape, slavery and torture become sophisticated themes in my roleplaying (and my wife's especially) because of our detailed real world exposure. When an npc claims to have been raped, most...

Ah...what does this mean for me? I'm seriously committed to this, this time. I've got time off over Easter, I'm available - please.:(

Re: Re: Re: Uh, no. I'm also not a lawyer, but copyrights do tend to include trademarks and product names (or names of product lines). Taking a picture of a Warhammer (tm) box showing spacemarines on the cover will violate copyright because the trademarked name is on the box and the images...

Concierge: Checking in? NoOne (looking cool and mysterious in the opening scene): Yes indeed. Tell me has mister Nitessine checked in as well? Concierge: I haven't heard sir, let me check for you.

That was a great article but I feel that it gave short shrift to escapism. The main reason I play DnD is to escape from the drudgery of my everyday life, where my duties to my family mean that I work a forty hour week at a job that I find essentially unfulfilling, but which pays the bills. I'm...

I think this time I'm early enough not to be an alternate. I wanna play! alsih2o: apologies that I couldn't take up the role of alternate last time, but I kind of fell off the world for a couple of days and by the time I got the notification that I was being called up the deadline had already...

I stand corrected.

If Columbus is the most important discoverer, why are both continents named after Amerigo Verspuci, who came after Columbus? Columbus being given credit is the result of political correctness in past centuries. I'm not the only one who's ever wanted to rewrite history. Also archeological...

I have no reference but I understand that inflation didn't exist as we understand it until after the industrial revolution and it certainly didn't exist in it's modern form until the twentieth century - a very high minimum rate of production is required. In pre modern societies 220 years could...

Thanks - the party liked the scenario. And yes I've read Ash - possibly one of my all time favourite spec fiction books - total recommendation. The battle scenes where they tow war machines and wade into the enemy really makes me think about what it would be like to have to face a golem. They...
