The test drive rules don't really talk about taunt/intimidate, so my players only heard about it at the table when I mentioned it. As an FYI, I posted over at peginc and Clint responded. Great White Games/Pinnacle Entertainment Group :: View topic - Test Drive with Eye of Kilquato - HELP When...

Last night my group of 4E'ers gave Savage Worlds a try. There has been so much great stuff said about it here, that we had too. We downloaded the v6 quickstart rules, The Eye of Kilquato adventure, and the pregen Characters. We started well enough with some great RP both in the adventure and...

Please do. Bulgrit, how goes Insanity? I did a round, but it didn't suit me. Not maintainable. On the other side of the coin, there was a guy selling P90x on QVC this morning. He's the bald guy in the P90x+ videos. He was in his 20th round of P90x!

I'm wrapping myself up in my really long scarf for this one. Romana was left behind in E-Space, or a space connecting E-space and regular space. That area could certainly have been outside of the Time lock the Dr set up, so she could very easily pop up anywhere. The really sad part is I didn't...

P90x Tips I was thinking about this thread while do Back and Biceps today and figured I should give a few tips. 1. Tony and Shawn T(from Insanity) always talk about a recovery drink. I did quite a bit of research into this since I didn't have the $ to buy their drink. Turns out chocolate...

I believe that every once in a while, you need to throw a curve ball. Besides, sometimes you don't feel like statting up a bunch of encounters. I wasn't sure if they would buy into it, fortunately, they did and it was a great night. The players have each told me how much they enjoyed...

Prayer, good choice.

As someone who's completed this 3 times, I needed bigger dumbbells, I have 40s and could use 45s for some of the back exercises. Some people prefer using bands and they can replace both dumbbells and the pull up bar. A good pair of sneakers. And a yoga block if you are not flexible, or very...

I've tried to play Faery's Tale with her, and she wasn't interested. She wanted to play D&D, just like dad. So that pretty much locks me in. She is a voracious reader, so I think she should be able to handle it. I recently started reading her The Hobbit and while I don't think she gets it...

I do like keterys suggestion, I'm just not sure the wife will go for it. Realistically, I'm not sure I'll use the Essentials stuff much. I'm already hating this decision.

I'm leaning toward the Red Box, which was my first inclination, till the collector in me wanted everything. She'll have her own box of stuff and I think she'll like that more than anything. Bonus, I can order it from Amazon for the 9/7 release and get it cheaper.

The backstory, which they don't know, is pretty simple. The monks became more and more fanatical over the years attempting to recovery the monastery and return to guarding the artifact. So much so, that even though the party has a legitimate claim to it, the monks will never turn it over. The...

She already has her own dice and a couple mini's. That's how she got interested. She actually has some of my dice, but I think her little sister will be getting her a set to be all her own. Of course, her birthday is Sept 20, so whatever I decide will be a slightly late gift.

Last night, as an experiment, I put my players in an unusual position. They were sent to a remote mountaintop monastery to retrieve an artifact. 500 years before, the monastery had been taken over by vampires. Arriving there, they found a military outpost at the foot of the mountains, manned...

So my daughter is turning 7 next month. She's watched us play D&D for a couple years and has even joined the table for a couple AD&D based, very rules light, sessions. Her attention span is 1-1.5 hours in this regard. With her birthday coming up, and Essentials coming out, I'm considering...

My 6, going on 7 year old reads better than most kids(3rd grade+ level) and has decent math skills. With regards to math, it's simply that it takes her longer to do it. I did step down the rules a bit and also want with AD&D so she wouldn't have to use a power every turn. One of the things...

Well done! I'm jealous. I've got the 6 year old hooked, the wife has almost no interest, and the 4 year old has a way to go.

I wouldn't worry all that much about your current fitness level. If you watch the current infomercial, they've had some pretty unfit people try it. When I started, I was certainly not in the shape I thought I should be. Throughout, Tony constantly talks about adapting the exercise. For...

If it doesn't kill you, it will make you stronger. Insanity is a different beast. I will tell you, don't be afraid of it. And most importantly, realize the first 10 minutes are a warmup....you don't have to go as fast as he does. To be honest, the first month isn't terrible. The videos are...

I've been pretty lucky. As a kid, we played all the time, then I took a long break and got a group together when 4e came out. The farthest guy is 40 minutes or so away. We play every other week. One guy travels a lot, so he'll play via skype from time to time. We're all over 30 and 2/3 of...
