    Arcana Unearthed or 3.5 PH???

    Im an AU fanboi. Already have it pre-ordered so it will ship on July 25th. I've been bombarding my group with design diaries since Dec of last year. I can't wait for it. 3.5? Eh. I'll buy it eventually, but the SRD will probably serve until I got the extra cash.

    Now I know why I play games

    Thanks for all the kind words and condolences. I know I shouldn't use the game as escapism, but its tempting. I'm still there for my fiance, as this is a rough time for her. She keeps asking if she should contact her friend (which I tell her of course she should) because she's afraid of...

    Now I know why I play games

    One would like to think that the reason we play roleplaying games is because we want to live in fantasy worlds, do heroic deeds, and be someone we are not. I don't think this is the case. I think we do it because the worlds that we make when playing these games make sense. Horrible things...

    Modules and Suspension of Disbelief

    Here's an excerpt from an email written to a player in my game. Does anyone else have this problem with player's in their games? I've noticed a phenomenon with players in the past...I call it Module blinders. Once a player sees the module cover, they go into to "module-mode". It doesn’t...

    [OT] The Worst Car of the Millennium - The List

    Unfortunately yes....I owned a Dodge Aspen, for about a week. Bought it for $200, it took 30 min to get warmed up in the fall in Atlanta GA! If you tried to put it in drive before it got warmed up, the engine would die. The car horn sounded like an asthmatic (sp?) after completing a pack of...

    Impressions on 3.5?

    <shrug> I'll buy it so I can play in my friend's games. I like the changes in general, but Im not very excited about it. Guess Im burned out. Its just more of the same with the words rearranged. Now AU...that's the stuff. I can't wait till that book hits the shelves.

    Worse. Character. Name. Ever!!

    Isn't Lupus Yonderboy a character in a William Gibson book? One of the gangers in Neuromancer? Gibson takes the cake for great names: Praisegod Satansbane Boomzilla (dammit, can't think of anymore right now)

    [OT] Sandwichery of the Dark Ages

    Yeah I just read a long history of beer on the net. Pretty interesting actually. It still didnt tell me why the first person drank it though :) From what it sounds like, someone left some bread in some water for a few days and then drank it. I guess he was really thirsty or something :)

    [OT] Sandwichery of the Dark Ages

    I often wondered who was the first guy to drink beer. Most alchohol is fermented, so it had to sit around for a while, but what possessed him to actually drink it??? (Seeing how my workday is slow, Im off to google to find out)

    Any Word on the 3.5 Druid?

    As opposed to the "skin flayed from the back of helpless animals?" Interestingly, thier ethos allows them to use metal raped from the earth for thier sickles, daggers, and scimitars. Weapon restrictions are anti-thetical (that right?) to the theme of 3rd ed. Options not restrictions. Boot...

    Talents or Broadening of skills

    Staffan: That's true, but really concentration is worthless to anyone that's not a caster, and all casters get it as a class skill. Its true that some stats are more skill-heavy than others, but really, that doesnt matter to this house rule much. It just allows you to broaden your character a...

    Talents or Broadening of skills

    All characters can have cross-class skills based on thier stat bonuses. These skills are called talents and can be purchased at 1 to 1 ratio just like a class skill but are still limited to your level +3 divided by 2. You can have one talent per natural bonus of a skill. i.e. A character...
