    WotC Settings Search update

    Gimme a break. Like some monkey wouldn't have leaked the info yet. Also, WOTC probably would have posted a "thanks, but the contest is over" message on their website. Unless of course they laid off their webmaster and he's now flipping burgers with a spatula... ;)

    Neverwinter Nights.. Are you still playing this

    Who said it was a MMORPG?

    WotC Settings Search update

    I know! We can make up a code for it. If you won, write a post that has the words "monkey", "spatula", and some reference to an 80's sitcom in it. They'll never figure that out.

    Did you notice?

    Bad Taste is a classic? Ugh. I didn't get through the first 10 minutes of it. At about the 5 minute mark, I called all my friends in to see how crappy the movie was. They were equally unimpressed. Of course, this was back before LOTR, so it was back before geeks were required to like Peter...

    Gamers Opinion of PCGen (No Rants)

    Personally, I have avoided trying PCGen. The main reason is that it is JAVA based. In my mind that tells me that it will be slow, and probably ugly. The second reason is that its home is on sourceforge. In my mind that tells me that it will probably have a clunky...

    Neverwinter Nights.. Are you still playing this

    I burned myself out back in the Baldur's Gate days, and can't even look at CRPGs anymore. As for multiplayer, I just don't like it. I played Quake when it first came out, and discovered that Death Matches bore me. Then, I beta tested Asheron's Call and discovered that massively multiplayer...

    [NOT as OT as it seems, really!] How many of you have armour/swords/etc?

    I own a sword, but it's nothing D&D related. It's an old Canadian officer's sword that I picked up as a prop for a project of mine. I don't have any Star Trek paraphernalia, as I am not into the sci-fi thing at all. I own a few guns, though I leave them in storage at my parents' house, as I...

    Why don't you buy non-WoTC stuff?

    I buy very few RPG books at all. Off the top of my head, for 3rd edition stuff, I know I have the PHB, DMG, MM, Hero Builder's Guidebook, FR Campaign Setting, Touched By The Gods, Sovereign Stone Campaign Setting, and the two Creature Collection books. Three adventures as well, one from WOTC...

    Read #4750 last night

    How did you get that? Who is your source? This treachery will not be forgotten. ;)

    Read #4750 last night

    Wrong. Nothing at all has, is, or will happen in my setting. Which is why I will win.

    Yours was the 2-pager, right? Well then... you lost. ;)

    [OT] Where to go in the USA?

    Check out Cape Hatteras or Atlantic Beach in North Carolina. Very nice.

    Motivating a new group?

    Great ideas guys! Thanks. This group can only meet twice a month, so I was trying to get straight to the adventuring. But you're right, delaying the start of the adventuring for a character generation session would be better than starting the campaign off with a mediocre or ill-fitting adventure.

    Motivating a new group?

    I'm starting a new gaming group with a bunch of people I know. It looks like we're going to have 5 players, plus myself as the DM. I provided them with the character generator and some background on the world. I gave them several days to come up with characters (even just an idea, not even...

    Book of Vile Darkness

    That's the truth... and exactly what I was trying to say on my previous post. Of course, as usual, some twit decided to twist my words and nitpick the way I phrased something. Which is why this is my final post.

    Book of Vile Darkness

    I think that having rules around this is weak. Something like this should be done with imagination instead of consulting a chart. You say it's a staple of literature and stuff, but has it ever been handled the same way twice? I'd guess not. The *big evil entity* can do whatever it chooses...

    Book of Vile Darkness

    I'll flip through it, though I probably won't end up buying it. I am a fan of using subtle evil, villains with real plots and motivations, and plausible situations. If it contains this kind of material, I will get it. However, from its description it sounds like it contains the kind of stuff...

    Would you leave your life behind?

    I'm a 24-year old, reasonably successful guy with a good job, nice house, and wonderful girlfriend. Would I go? Probably not. If something happened to change my current situation, making the deal more attractive, I would want to be the gruff bartender with a wooden club under the bar who runs...

    Blowguns?

    Nevermind. I found some stats on it in the SRD.

    Blowguns?

    Are there any d20 rules for using blowguns or dart guns?
