    XP question

    That's basically what I did. However, the individual awards were lower than the encounter award. I was trying to make it less important than the whole of the encounter because we had a new player, who was clearly shy and hadn't roleplayed before. Therefore his RP skills were, well, less than...

    XP question

    Hi. I was wondering, how do you guys handle doling out XP? I have been doing party-based XP, where all participants in an encounter receive a share of the XP. However, the hard-hitting barbarian is complaining that he should get a bigger share because he racks up more kills? I personally do...

    What are YOU buying this year?

    I'm getting that new Nirvana cd when it finally hits the streets. I don't care if it's just a greatest hits album, as it'll come with that great You Know You're Right song on it. I've been waiting for that song since 1994.

    names for Goblins?

    Rule pack 2 for my name generator has goblin names in it. I'm not sure what they are "officially" called, but my generator spits out names for them like this: Yutrin Leegis Frumster Haggon Turli Baggle Oster Ilo Crummis Germli

    I should, since I live in Richmond, but I probably won't.

    [BoVD]Well, since I can't seem to post this on Wizards forums...

    I agree with most of what you said. The one part I'm not sure about is "the PrCs were about the same level and quality as the cultish PrCs from a past issue." I'm not sure to which PrCs you are referring, so I can't comment on the quality of that issue. However, I thought the quality of the...

    [OT] Unreal Tournament 2003 demo and demo patch

    I remember a time when computer games required only one or two patches in their lifetime. Ah... those were the days.

    I shut the ticker off. It annoyed me.

    Has FR "jumped the shark"?

    Personally, it jumped for me the first time I encountered Ed Greenwood's writing. His style doesn't mesh well with my tastes. It took me forever just to get through one of those Elminster books, because it took so much willpower to force myself to finish reading it.

    Hypothetical: If DnD had never existed, BUT...

    I think you're confusing "low morals" with "low standards". :p

    [BoVD]Well, since I can't seem to post this on Wizards forums...

    Out of curiosity, who wrote the sealed section in Dragon? Was it the same guy that wrote the BoVD? I think I already filed the issue in my stack of "nothing I need at this time" Dragon issues, and don't feel like digging it out.

    According to their FAQ, 4-5 months. Not bad for a government agency.

    Has FR "jumped the shark"?

    Ted McGinley truly is a powerful wizard. He can make a show disappear without even trying.

    [BoVD]Well, since I can't seem to post this on Wizards forums...

    If it's anything like the section in issue 300, I'm not really interested. I have no moral objection to the material, and occasionally have some "vile" content in my campaign. However, I don't feel that the sealed section in issue 300 was particularly well-written, or innovative enough to...

    Hypothetical: If DnD had never existed, BUT...

    My argument? I said that *I* probably wouldn't be playing RPGs, not that RPGs (or CRPGs) would have never come into existence. If you thought that I meant that all CRPGs came from the Gold Box series, you're mistaken. I tried CRPGs well before that, but I just didn't find them interesting...

    I think i have a jacked copy of E-Tools!

    That's bullsh*t. If they wanted to include XML, they should have included an XML parser.

    What are your feelings on combat mats?

    I like the idea of mats, and I would use mine if I could find a marker that would erase from it.

    Hypothetical: If DnD had never existed, BUT...

    Honestly, probably none of them. What got me into RPGs was Computer RPGs. What got me into Computer RPGs was the SSI Gold Box series (Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, etc). If D&D hadn't existed, those games wouldn't have existed, and I'd still be happily playing non-RPG console...
