Ah, but with a little BBQ sauce and an open flame, that isn't necessarily so...

I'd like to know what virus he had that prevented him from connecting to the Internet! Most of them turn your machine into a 'net zombie so it can be controlled from elsewhere. Like most of the students in my networking classes, many people just don't understand how networking works and why...

"I wish that whenever I reached into my empty pouch to retrieve payment for something, that the exact amount needed would be there." Your DM will likely limit it to 25,000 gp as per the spell description, but still -- you're not carrying around 25,000 gp worth of weight, are you? :)

Hmm. Not sure what you can do, but I have some ideas. If there are background images, it means that the PDF pages have not been "flattened". In other words, the PDF is displayed by first clearing the page to the background color, then drawing the background image on top, then drawing the text...

Sounds very cool. :) I've seen your postings at RPTools.net and I guess it's time to check out FUM. I have about a dozen sites on my "daily hit list" already, so I've been reluctant to add even more, but this sounds pretty good...

I wood think (!) that the weight of any given door is a judgment call by the GM. Exterior doors of castles would've been reinforced with more wood (is that still "simple"? probably "good") or metal (definitely "strong"). Even interior doors into certain parts of a castle or keep would've been...

Vanadel, Thanks for the interest. :) You're right about Lakeland... I just did a training gig over there last week and from the downtown area to my house is 50.5 miles and about an hour drive time, depending on traffic. In the past these forums have helped find players, but not lately. :( I...

+1. If you don't believe this statement, go back and reads the Terms of Use agreement. If you're a reasonable adult, you'll be shocked by what's contained in there. :(

I bought a MacBook Pro last summer. I have never owned a Mac before. I didn't buy it because I love Macs or because I love Apple. In fact, Apple's practices regarding OSX are starting to piss me off as much as Microsoft's practices regarding Windows. I bought it because more and more of the...

Yeah, I'm pretty new to it as well. And only as a player so far. I'll probably ping your email address and add it to my contact list for later...

Right now we're doing RttToEE. It's a core-only game, although I let one of the previous players bring in the Radiant Servant PrC, primarily because of how much undead influence there is in the module. We have some house rules that are documented on my private forum. Because the module is so...

We're on hold right now. I lost some players, so it's down to just myself (GM) and one player. :( So we're in heavy need of warm bodies! I've considered going online with the game. I play in a Tuesday night game and a Thursday night game (using MapTool) and one or two of those players had...

I've had players tell me they were wearing two cloaks. The one on the outside was the +1 and the one on the inside was +3. That way a failed Reflex save might destroy the +1 but not the more expensive +3. :cool: I told them that they could wear multiple cloaks if they wanted, but the one...

(Sorry for the thread hijack. Perhaps this should be a separate thread?) How would you do a Concentration check when hit by multiple magic missiles or multiple rays from searing light? Do the individual damages count as separate checks? For magic missile, there is no attack roll so I can see...

DC is too tough? Does it strike anyone else as backwards that the DC is 15 + CMB? If you have two evenly balanced creatures with the same CMB, the one attempting the CMB will fail 70% of the time. And that doesn't factor in that the defender gets to use the better of Str or Dex. Is it just me?

*Bump* It's been a couple of weeks and no nibbles. Should I take that to mean that all of the Tampa Bay area gamers are happy with their current World of Warcraft games? ;) :cool:

Ditto. I've been using OOo since 1.0 (yes, there really was a 1.0 release, and yes, I actually used it! :)). I've never paid for nor had an interest in using MS software and I'm not about to start now. So any progress on OOo would be good news.

Based on the comment about recalculation, does no one here use a GM software package? I use DM Genie. With two clicks I can add the "higher ground" modifier (one click to get to the Conditions tab, another clicked to turn on the checkbox). It only works on melee attacks, so a PC that climbs...

With the right player-GM combination, item creation can be a wonderful way to extend the imagination. But with a munchkin player or an overly generous GM, item creation can quickly break the game.

Oh, and there is talk by the GM of ruling that there was a limit to summon monster of one creature at a time. But that was changed to a HD rating (I think). So it's in flux right now (and we don't play again for a week or so) but it might turn out that multiple astral constructs at one time...
