    EN World Pigskin Pick'em (Updated 12.27.05 - Week 16 results posted)

    Looks like I blew it. We had some stormy weather last week, causing me to lose power for a day and my internet connection at home. Work was also without power for most of a day, and by the time everything was back up and running I was in a panic to get everything done before leaving for...

    Good city-based modules?

    Another suggestion that you check out Splintered Peace. To be honest, I had never heard of it, but John Nephew sent it to me as part of his recent birthday giveaway. I have not read the entire book yet (it is a 110 page hardcover), but the premise sounds great. Note that the plot involves a...

    What to do, what to do?

    As the only pure arcane caster (there is a bard/arcane archer), it would be tough on the group for me to remove my character from the action for a session. Especially given that we have come to rely on teleport a good bit, as well as a few other spells that help us get around in the underdark...

    What to do, what to do?

    Damned straight. If I get to go to Disneyworld, I can't deprive my friends of the fun of gaming. The show must go on! And I am (over)confident in howandwhy99's ability to run Ozzy. He says his favorite class to play is Wizard (Ozzy is a sorc, but close enough). Believe me, if there is a TPK I...

    They have to be a community supporter, or at least pay for the PM option. Have you checked to see if they have all done so?

    Pirates "Constructable Strategy Game"

    Funny to see someone bring these cards up. I just saw them for the first time last week, at Target. The wife and I were shopping for Xmas, and we wanted to get the boys some baseball cards, and Pokemon and the like, for Santa to use as stocking stuffers. They don't actually play the card games...

    EN World Pigskin Pick'em (Updated 12.27.05 - Week 16 results posted)

    Whoops, I finally managed to screw up, but it only cost me one game. I somehow did not pick a winner in MNF, which sucks because I am a homer and always pick the Falcons. The odd thing is I did pick a tiebreaker score, and it would have been very close to correct except that I switched the...

    So a '1' Always Misses, Right?

    You must have the Blind-Fight feat (or you are a woman).

    What inspiring quote have you found here?

    I too love the Hemingway quote mentioned by howandwhy99. I also like the one currently in my .sig: "I like adventures where I go to find somebody who is mean and then you have to poke them with a poking stick." Samantha the Red, daughter of Rel

    Do you keep strict track of the date in your game world?

    In Olgar's game, as diaglo mentioned, one of the party's many quests involves City of the Spider Queen, which I understand has an important timeline, so we must keep up with the date. We keep accurate dates in diaglo's OD&D game, as a lot goes on the dynamic world around the PCs. In my...

    Thanks John Nephew!

    Adding my thanks to John. I sent my SASE on the last day, which probably explains why I just got my package today. Nyambe: Dire Spirits, Nyambe: Ancestral Vault, The Tide of Years, and Splintered Peace. All of them look great, and I can't wait to take a closer look. Thanks again!

    Need Red Reindeer Antler Clip Art

    Audhild&Krin, I can't thank you enough. The antlers look great, and we will certainly be making use of them. I'll let everyone here know how the surprise turns out, although I probably won't be able to report until the 23d or so. howandwhy99, I'm afraid we can't adopt you. With three boys...

    Need Red Reindeer Antler Clip Art

    What you sent is very close. Can you make them fatter, a little more cartoonish and less realistic? I like the antlers2.pdf, if you can make these changes, and orient it horizontally rather than vertically. Thanks so much for doing this.

    Need Red Reindeer Antler Clip Art

    It has gotten to the point where I feel that I can come to EN World for help on virtually any subject. You kind folks have given me advice on everything from video games to hockey. Now, I have what will hopefully be a simple request: I need "clip art" of reindeer antlers. Being no good at this...

    What game mechanics etc. do you, the DM, forbid?

    I think the rule is exactly the opposite of this. From the Hypertext SRD: "The square you start out in is not considered threatened by any opponent you can see, and therefore visible enemies do not get attacks of opportunity against you when you move from that square." - and - "If, during...

    Perfidious Amazon

    I never order from Amazon unless it says the product "usually ships within 24 hours". The delayed gratification is, to me, the reason the prices are so much lower at Amazon. If I have to have something today then I go to a physical store and pay full price.
