    There's Powerful Deviltry at Work Here...

    That's fine. The character I'm talking about is the "quick route to power" type mentioned above. The world needs saving *right now* from some dark group of yahoos or whatever. The warlock I was referring to would be the type that'd be making bargains because of the *right now* aspect of it...

    There's Powerful Deviltry at Work Here...

    I, for one, think it's a much harder thing for a person to use evil to do good than for someone to be a paladin. Paladins know that when they die, they go on to blissful eternity in Elysium or Mount Celestia or wherever. The Infernal Pact Warlock type that uses his powers for good *knows* that...

    Are we there yet?

    You shut your noise, or I'll turn this car around RIGHT NOW! We'll go back home and then you'll never get your 4th Edition. *grumble* -TRRW

    Game Day re-hash

    I'm usually a tactical, careful, meticulous player. So, obviously when WWDDGD comes around, I play the biggest, dumbest, fighterest character there is. This year, her name was Tara, and she kicked in every door in the place. I rolled Natural 20s on every single door breaking check, save one...

    What is the 2nd controler ?

    The PHB2 Variant Ranger abilities allowed them to make someone they'd hit with a ranged attack effectively flanked for their allies. I could see a Ranger built around that effect as well as things like "arrow to the knee" slowing a creature's movement or "I said, Dance!" making the creature...

    Elder Evils Cover - Kyuss?

    I think it's hillarious that this picture is hosted on my (relatively speaking) local gaming store's website. Not sure why I think it's hillarious, but it's there none the less. Also, it's listed as the cover on Amazon.com -TRRW

    Are you planning on participating in Worldwide D&D Gameday 2007?

    I can't participate again this year because once again, it takes place on a Saturday. I can never make it on a weekend. Thus the problem with working in the Casino business. -TRRW

    Super-duper Community Supporter Account offer!

    Paid for my 18 months. Woo! I'm helping! I mean, I donated back in May/June during the big money drive (stupidly, instead of just buying a community supporter account); but that hardly counts. Eagerly awaiting my ability to change my custom title. -TRRW

    PETITION: Keep the term 'Adventure Path' Open Source!

    Well, this is where we're getting to an impasse. Gorillas are large primates that dominate their kin through brute force. Guerrillas are harriers and other lightly armored, highly mobile fighting units. A 900 pound Gorilla would be effective. A 900 pound Guerrilla would no longer be a harrier...

    PETITION: Keep the term 'Adventure Path' Open Source!

    When the thing being taken by the gorilla is the gorilla's property because you made an agreement that everything you made that appeared in the pages of Gorilla or Gorilla Nest magazines belonged exclusively to the gorilla, it's just the gorilla taking back what belongs to it. Also, a 900 pound...

    The best way to do Death Effects?

    I'm more a fan of "drops you 4 steps down the Condition track and does X HP damage". That way, it *could* kill you, but might not and also leaves you debilitated. -TRRW

    Players, DMs and Save or Die

    DM for 16 years, hater of SoD spells for 15.9 years. They seemed awesome until the first time I used one against a PC. Total funkiller. -TRRW

    Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

    Sorry, forgot that part. Yes, I would have. I have a burning *need* to know what happens as soon as possible, then go back later and fill in the details. That being said, I'll buy the preview books the second they're available, then buy the core books as soon as they're available. Hell, I'll...

    Races and Classes cover on Amazon!

    I would have, because all I cared about was what happened, not the long drawn out blah-blah-blah crap. Give me the main points so I can move on with my life. Heck, I would have paid full price for a set-in-stone outline of the book 6 months in advance. Some of us are just compulsive like...

    D&D 4E D&D4E: Resource Management between Encounters

    Gleaning what hints we can from Star Wars: Saga Edition, each character will have a Second Wind which will allow them to heal once per day (more, if Feats and Talents are spent) an amount equal to either their Constitution score OR 1/3 their maximum HP, whichever is greater. I have a feeling...

    Eladrin, warlords, and unnecessary D&Disms

    "I need a weapon." would be a fantastic name for a per encounter ability. Heck, I think each of those games is one long encounter. I can't remember any point at which I didn't see an enemy for more than a minute. AND it's built in marketing that probably writes itself. I think the only...

    Eladrin, warlords, and unnecessary D&Disms

    No. Just, no. Faerie would have been a terrible name, simply because they're far too removed from the assumed form of a faerie. They aren't 1 foot tall with big, gossamer butterfly wings. Is a name like Eladrin *really* going to cause that much of a stumbling block for new players? I, for...

    Attention WotC: Drop the must-sign-in thing until it works, please.

    Maybe I'm the odd man out, but I haven't had a single problem accessing any of the Digital Initiative stuff. When the Gleemax forums went live, things were screwy for about 10 minutes until I figured out the "Forgot Password" workaround. Just click that link on the sign in page, then type in...

    The Shared Experience: Keep on the Borderlands

    Started playing in 1989/1990 (I was 7 or 8 at the time, I believe). We played a bunch of homemade modules. The first time I even heard of Keep on the Borderlands was in the 25th Anniversary remake, Return to the Keep on the Borderlands. So, in a way, I've played it. I voted no, though, as...

    Points of Light

    In most of my small town with large waterfall situations, there's a tiny cave behind the waterfall. It's the basic equivalent of Makeout Point; the place where the teenagers of the village go for a semi-safe spot for their late night liaisons. -TRRW
