...According to the articles that I read, she didn't wait. The clock beeped in the middle of the class period. She confiscated it immediately and called the principal who then removed the student. ...The confusion lies in the length of time it took the principal to act. The articles are...

...We pretty much do the same thing. Players who lose their characters start with a new one a level behind the average party level. They also get new gear at the norm for their new level, after being approved by the DM. ...If your group has a long standing houserule, that the majority...

...I tend to frown upon players who intentionally disrupt the game with selfish and juvenile antics. After talking with the neutral players, I'd suggest pulling him aside and talking to him. I would tell him that he can either choose to end his disruptive behavior or choose to walk away from...

I use a silver paint pen to mark the underside of the base on my minis. I do it mainly to keep track of them. The writing shows up well after that.

I think that social media is good for the: "this is new" or "I like this" little soundbytes of information. I don't think that it allows for the in-depth discussions and reviews that forums do.

...Good point. I think that the whole situation/investigation could have easily been handled in the principle's office with both the police and a parent/legal guardian present. Even if Texas law doesn't requires the presence of a parent/guardian, one should have been there.

...Ok. I finally found a picture of the actual 'clock' in question. I can see why a teacher would be concerned for her students' safety when this thing started beeping in the middle of her class. ..Sorry...the link to the picture stopped working and I can't figure out how to fix it.:(...

...There have been a lot of ridiculous weapons charges popping up in schools across the country. Anything that can be remotely construed as a weapon, or a mock weapon, runs afoul of very poorly constructed "zero-tolerance" policies. ...Many people place the full blame upon teachers and...

... I originally left the WoTC boards due to the lack of moderation, and the lack of civility from many of the posters. I hope that they do not bring such behavior here.

...I don't know if it's the only factor, but I do think that it's the main one. When Clerics/Oracles pray for their spells, the deities shape the magic into the proper form and then deliver them pre-formatted. Thus, divine casters do not have to directly deal with forcing the raw magic into...

...Casting arcane spells is a bit more complicated. Arcane spellcasters are trying to tap into the natural weave of magic, using their own abilities to control and shape that raw power into the results that they desire. ...Divine power comes straight from a cleric's/oracle's connection to...

...IMO, the main issue is not about her personal religious beliefs. It's about her being able to fulfill her duties as a government official. As an individual, she's free to hold whatever views she likes. As an employee of the state, she's required to comply with whatever directives are...

...extremely well stated...

...I wouldn't say a thing. Altering monsters, and creating new ones, in order to challenge the pcs is the DM's job. ...On the other hand, trying to master beast statistics tends to lead to meta-gaming and is generally frowned upon. I am not saying that you would, but it is a serious...

There are some decent generators under the resources tab on this site.

...In most campaigns that I have played in, or run, players who permanently leave the game are killed off. This player has no copyright, or plagiarism, claim on a character you co-wrote. Especially since you homebrewed a class for her. She's throwing out concepts that she doesn't really...

Red and Black (Rack?): a deep scarlet or maroon color..breath weapon = boiling-hot acid Fun would be crossing a dragon with a lernean hydra :)

..Maybe speak with bears at-will, maybe make all bears automatically friendly towards the druid or maybe allow him to transform into a bear at-will (normal at levels 1-10, dire at levels 10-20). ..You could also have the bowstring produce/grow normal arrows at-will made of a thorn-type substance.

1. Perhaps the magical axe is inhabited by the spirit of one of the pc's ancestors. A family trip to the cemetery, to pay respect to lost loved ones, could make for an interesting reveal. 2. The druid has a realistic, terrifying nightmare where he fights off a ghostly bear. He awakes to...

Not for me, I like my minis too darn much to give them up. ...As for legos being too expensive, check out yard/garage/tag sales. They always seem to have a tub of old legos for sale.
