    IRC: Oathbound

    At this point, we will probably be playing either friday or saturday night, unless there's a strong objection.

    IRC: Oathbound

    I am going to download the Oathbound PDF, but only if I'm going to use it. I want to see at least four postings here, with a list of evenings that you can play, 8pm to midnight, eastern time. The game will be in IRC, psionics server. Exact nature of the game will depend on the players who...

    Confusion, and resisting spells from friendly/hostile sources

    The Confusion affect ONLY applies to one event; your decision about what you're going to do that round. It says NOTHING about saves versus spells, or being able to tell whether an incoming spell is friendly or not.

    Bruno the Bandit violates a WotC copyright

    Yeah, I had forgotten about parody. An argument could be made that the object of the parody isn't WotC, but I don't know if that matters.

    Minor Rule Grip on tripping

    The x4 crit weapons make great backups to pull out when you're up against critters with HUGE hit points.

    Bruno the Bandit violates a WotC copyright

    http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/20040519.html I don't see any license announcement there. I'm curious to see what happens with this.

    G/N/S epiphany

    Well, anyone who follows G/N/S theory knows that. That's not a flaw in the system, it's a flaw in the usage. If anyone says that a person, a game group, or even a game is ENTIRELY one of the three, they're on crack. Even Chess is only 99.99% gamist; the fact that the pieces have names out of...

    D&D Urban Legends: I new this guy who...

    Dice superstitions are one thing. Gaming legends are another. I guess I was always too insular to hear most of the legends, but I'll tell you one thing... One of my old DM's took the 20-sider from his dice set (this is back in the days of the "low impact plastic" dice in the basic set) and...

    G/N/S epiphany

    What? It's a fairly concise classification of the various reasons that people play RPG's. Like any generalization, it has its faults, but what's hateable about it?

    How much does an inn cost to buy?

    Here's a little snippet that may inform your discussion. Medieval-era loans, made on high-risk ventures like exploration and conquest, usually charged between 1% and 2% interest. Low-risk loans usually got less than 1% net ROI. Having an inn that makes 1% ROI per year is a nicely profitable...

    Pet peeves of D&D gaming

    I'd say let him. Anyone can tell you that greataxes are the best weapon for damage.

    Do "they" exist in your world?

    LOL! I wonder if Chinese roleplayers use their D12's?

    Get it. Now. It rocks.

    Keep your Science out of my Fantasy!

    I find that the best balance is achieved when a fairly recognizable world is caused due to entirely unfamiliar means. For example, in a fantasy world, smoke from a fire might not rise because the hot air expands and becomes lighter than the air around it; it might rise because the little fire...
