My wife and I are looking for some games we can play together. We've done Halo, Civ IV, & Neverwinter Nights co-op and are about to start on lego Star Wars, but we're looking for some other contenders. We have two new PC's and an Xbox 360 with two controllers. I'd like to avoid shooters if we...

Great work, I like the energy behind it. Since you've been kind enough to take requests, I'll put my character into the mix. I'd love to see a visual of him beyond my mind's eye. The character is very tough to play, but alot of fun and quite interesting. ----- Shaladin The rough blindfold...

To add to this, it seems that falling off of a horse only causes 1d6 points of damage, regardless of the speed it's traveling at.

Ok guys, I'm working on transfering the vehicle rules (so we could do some custom vehicles later on, etc) from the Arms and Equipment Guide to 3.5 and I came across this little tidbit: "Leaving a Moving Vehicle: Whether you jump or get pushed, sometimes you leave a vehicle while it’s moving...

What would most people rule on the examples given? Can a player hide on the shadowy side of a building? Can he hide in a shadowy alley? Can he hide in a shadowy hole in the ground?

I AM the DM, and I'm looking for clearer definitions of all of this. I don't know, if by the rules as written, "shadowy illumination" is even possible in daylight. Can a player hide on the shadowy side of a building? Can he hide in a shadowy alley? Can he hide in a shadowy hole in the ground? A...

Hmm... How does everyone model "shadowy illumination"? To keep with the corner-rogue scenario, what if the rogue is on the shadow side of the building, let's say the sun is in the western sky and the rogue is on the east side of the building. Would that be enough to consider it "shadowy...

So, how would you guys handle the "around the corner" issue? If a rogue is hidden around a corner and readies an action to attack when the guard comes around the corner, does the rogue get a sneak attack? The moment the guard rounds the corner, the rogue no longer has cover and is spotted... but...

So, what's the general consensus on this then? Is a un-spotted/hidden character is under the invisible condition (along with the +2, etc) or are the creatures that fail the spot check merely flat-footed? Still can't freaking believe they haven't officially clarified this issue in the rules or...

It is clear from reading up on this that you are correct on it not being a "mode". Unfortunately it would seem that following a target through a busy street full of people would be impossible, since the rogue would never get a hide check (being soft cover, from the SRD: "nor does soft cover...

Good answers Hypersmurf. I'm sort of stunned that there is no clarity on this issue (bit of a pun there). You would think its one of those things that would be critical to know with exactness, since a core class relies on it so much. It's dissapointing to see it neglected. Part of my confusion...

I have some questions about the Hide skill that I don't understand. I get the feeling the answers are somewhere in the rules, and probably quite obvious, but I don't see it. 1) I'm unable to find where it says that a creature is flat-footed or denied his dexterity bonus against a creature with...

Hey dave_o, I'm in Huntsville... what kind of D&D group are you looking for? We're not looking for new players right now, but if our gaming styles mesh, it may be something that we'll consider. Drop me an email at: pab.garcia(at)gmail.com

Trancejeremy, I used to be a flight-sim junkie, so I'm familiar with the advantages. There are ways to design a GUI that doesn't require it... of course, not having played any space-based game in years and years, I don't know what's been done. TheAuldGrump, a modern (or semi-modern) version of...

Yeah, I've looked into Darkstar, I'm waiting for reviews though. I have seen several people have an issue with some of these games having lack of joystick support, personally though I don't see it as an issue. I work for NASA as a graphic designer, not an engineer, but I have been exposed to...

I don't have enough words to tell you how much I agree with you. I think that talking on a cell-phone while driving should be as legally punishable as driving drunk. The results are the same; both are choices to be irresponsible, etc. What's the difference? Why should the liability and...

The issue is spells like Domination, Finger of Death, Wail of the Banshee, Charm Monster, Suggestion, etc. They probably don't feel comfortable giving so many creatures a blanket immunity to those spells (as per undead), but they don't want those spells to end the encounter after one casting. I...

I've been out of the PC genre for some time (the fact that I mention Starflight should be fairly telling), but I recently aquired a nice new shiny PC and I'm wanting a nice Starflight-esque game. From what I can tell the main contenders are X3 and Freelancer. X3 seems too trade driven and not...

Haha! Found it! http://www.ikissyou.org/ Anyway, I just recently saw the preview for the Borat movie (http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/borat/) and it reminded me of this. Also, it seems that the page I had seen long ago has some additional... comentary that is missing on this one. This...

Last time I saw it was about a year ago... if I had just any of the keywords needed for a proper search, I could probably find it. But other than what I posted, I don't remember anything.
