    Is Search turned off?

    Just to report back in, I'm personally starting to lean towards a "the new house is going to take a bit of time to settle in; expect it to creak just a bit while it does." No hard and quantitative data, but over the couple of times I came here and did things, the trend is to get more searches...

    Why so anti-Palladium

    Well, I'm coming into this thread late and really just skimmed the ones before. Perhaps worse, my history with it is rather old - if they've made any significant changes "recently" (last decade?) then I've missed it. First, I don't hate Palladium. Just could never find anyone to play it with...

    The Celestial Empire (Romance of the Three Kingdoms-ish, Updated 12/09/05)

    Again, great updates. I'm definitely in the "kudos" club here. One thing jarred me, though: ...."Oh great. Vargouilles. As if anything worse could happen."..... Was it a moment of authorial writing lapse, Valerian, or have the characters (players?) really lost that sense of wonder/abject...

    Battlestar Galactica

    Well, being in the US and seeing only the first ... what, 4? 5? ... episodes shown so far, this info may be out of date compared to what a friend over the pond might share with us. The basic "public" scenario is parallel to the original series. "Earth" is somewhere out there, nearly mythical...

    Is Search turned off?

    Thank goodness. Just got back to this thread, and the first few posts were making me think it was my own measure of (in)sanity. Glad to know it is happening to others too... Although I'm not a full-blown supporter, I did pay for search capability only a few months past so it definitely should...

    Is Search turned off?

    Just checking. I can't use any of the search functions, whether the link at the very top of the page or the "search this forum" link from a bit lower on the list. I put in the word(s) I'm looking for, but all I ever get back is a white screen with nothing on it. (Note - I haven't "changed"...

    Battlestar Galactica

    Since the DVD/miniseries has been mentioned here. Having just watched it (was a Christmas present!) and now having a Tivo (yes, I finally gave in - am loving it, but I think we end up watching MORE TV now than before! anyway....) with the 2-hour series premiere ready to watch, the question...

    Oh, I can't WAIT to see how this idea turns out! *extreme grin*

    212 Odd, Useless, Interesting, and other wise non-sensical magic items

    Stilt-skin Rumpel: a spinning wheel of legend. Unfortunately, the story has become completely reversed, including the name of the fey that created it, since the wheel actually spins gold into straw. Up to 100GP worth of gold can be converted into 50GP worth of straw each day. Granny's Keen...

    212 Odd, Useless, Interesting, and other wise non-sensical magic items

    'Doh! "partner" above should be "party". Meanwhile..... (I don't think I "borrowed" this from elsewhere, but apologies to any offended if I inadvertantly picked up your idea.) Wheels of inverse mobility: These wheels come in sets of two or four, and are suitable to be mounted on many sorts...

    212 Odd, Useless, Interesting, and other wise non-sensical magic items

    Well, I enjoyed this thread, so I think I'll go ahead and resurrect it to see if anyone else can come up with something "fun" to throw at your players. I myself thought of a couple useless earrings to toss into the fray: Earring of Cythenial translation: This earring automatically translates...

    Recomend me a good online place to buy RPG stuff from.

    Thanks for the heads up about that site. I've tried BestBookBuys which gives similar results. I still end up buying most of my stuff from alldirect.com, which evidently isn't one of the distributors that these sites use in their comparison. Probably because price-wise I can almost never find...

    The Celestial Empire (Romance of the Three Kingdoms-ish, Updated 12/09/05)

    Ah, what an excellent "welcome back" from vacation. TWO updates of this wonderful story. Valerian, you're writing has quite a panache, to draw me in so completely each time. Looking forward to more!

    Class HP vs Race HP

    Yeah, "Farscape" was the one I thought of when I saw the original question. I'm a bit torn on the issue. Later progression with hit dice based on class works great, but I've always itched to give bonus point(s) based on race at first level. Wouldn't our hypothetical half-orc wizard have more...

    Native English Speakers!I need your help!(once again....)

    Doggone it, now I've got THIS scene running through my head..... "I'm sorry, the minotaur was unarmed Mr. Gnome, so he now holds your 'weapon'. Your spirit/soul is therefore left standing in its disembodied state in front of him. He then (using his remaining standard action, presumably)...

    Undefeated Dungeons

    You know, that's what I thought too, given his soapbox articles in Dragon "recently" (seems like, anyway, but I don't know how long it actually has been). So how DID it wrap up? Until I know otherwise, I'm going to imagine something quirky, even anticlimatic. How about "Gary, being overworked...

    1/day abilities

    From http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20041123a Uses Per Day: Other items work only a certain number of times each day; for example, most rods fall into this category. The rules don't bother defining a "day" for you, and most of us can figure that out on our own. If it ever becomes...

    "Its so big!"

    I must be reading this wrong. People who are studying for their doctorates in English or teaching the same are impressed by the PHB itself? ;)

    D20 Future: Ship Combat Experiences?

    Is it too early to ask for at least a name to this setting and/or a web site for Max Gaming so that we can keep up on news of its progress?
