I think the lawsuit issue is just a reflection of our society. You take a risk putting anything on tape. Ultimately the kid is at fault. He could have either destroyed the tape (and pay his friend for the tape) or done the simple thing, and rewind and erase. Bottom line: It was mean, but it was...

I suppose the attitudes men exhibit in your statements and questions go beyond gamers, as I have scene it in different social "groups". First, let me say that I play online with 2 female gamers, both very different. One has a great grasp for the rules and takes on her persona (up to this time...

Urban Arcana generally has up to fifth level spell access. For standard D&D spells that are sixth or ninth level, there are Incantations. Each incantation is different, but they all have a knowledge check that is associated with it. They make a check every 10 minutes for the "casting time", one...

Wow, gee PC, you're a real knit-pick kinda fellow. Reading Feist will not be terribly stressful, a good read in my opinion. Erge

I bought a 3.5 carry bag from someone on e-bay about 4 months ago. It was a promotional item he was given. They really arn't the best quality, the front pocket in the flap busted on during the first week or so of use (I was holding a graphic calculator and about 10 or so pens and pencils). I've...

Re: Re: Local Games Stores Are Dead! As much as I hate to admit it, you have hit it on the nose. I hated carrying my books to school and back in High School and Middle School - I wished for those "cool star-trek notepad/book" that they always flung around when making reports. Now that book...

Fine idea, just keep in mind the CRs assume there’s a level of magic items in the possession of the players. If you halve the income, make sure you tone down the CR slightly Again, good idea. I don’t know of a mechanic that would showcase this idea. Using the rules for hunger and starvation as...

It may be a tad too modern for you, but the Arcane Aranger from Urban Arcana has a lot of social skills and arcane abilities. You probably would have to tone down the abilites for a medieval setting, but it shouldn't be too hard. Erge

Sorry to bust your example there, but a Dragon Disciple has to be able to cast spells without preparing them... As for the idea of the Eldritch Knight, I really enjoy it. Flavor is all well and good - and perfectly acceptable to add - but when it come to sword swingin', ranged touch attacks ...

I will definitely make an effort. My classes end on December 12, but I should be done with finals on the 10th. From Cal Poly Pomona is a short drive from Anihiem, so I'll get a hotel that weekend and then make my way back home to San Diego for Christmas. Great way to kick off the winter break. Erge

What if it is their "big, greedy, clumsy, large-corporate hands" that have their itchy trigger finger over the "Jettison WotC into the Sun" Button? (which is of course red in color, as are all very important buttons :P ). There is no point in denying the fact that if D&D doesn't make a lot of...

Noone, I have been able to get a lot of gaming books really cheaply from ebay. With the recent ascension of 3.5 to the official rule set, I would not be surprised to see a flood of old 3.0 books. If you snipe the low prices right before an auction ends and make use of the "Watch this Auction"...

LOL. That is pretty funny. No need for appologies, it was just something that stuck out in my mind about D&D in middle school. I'd enjoy hearing more on the progression and developement in this club - my brother (entering middle school next year) is interested in gaming, anything I could steal...

I'm eighteen, but started early so I'll give the first ones a shot: 1a) I was about 11 or 12, started over the summer between 6th and 7th grade. 2a) The adventures my friend and I ran were mostly maps drawn on graph paper with monsters scattered around the dungeon with no rhyme or reason. And...

I suppose it depends on the player. I like having the spells I will be casting on hand for just in case. I do not think it would be totally out of line to prepare 10 or 15 spells in advanced, all approved by the DM, handling various aspects of adventuring. Coming up with a perfect spell would...

I do not think that he's saying, "Don't prepare and check spells with your DM before hand". Rather, Epic Level spells take a long time to develop and research (1 day for every 50,000 gp in the research cost to be exact). A DC zero spell costs 9000 x 0 = 0 gp; therefore, it takes no time to...

We have table talk in my Monday Night game alot. We've been friends through out high school and some what longer (a buddy of mine since Kindergarten). We'll all be going out separate ways this septemeber, college, work, JC, etc. This game is more a "lets joke arround" game, rather than a "lets...

Heya, I'm an 18 year old, entering college this year as a mechanical engineering major. I'll be attending Cal Poly Pomona, in the LA area as of September. Beside RPGs, I'm a big computer techie. I do web design, art, and programing. I'm looking forward to working in the robotics field and will...

A class such as this was covered in Dragon 310, pg 35. The Fencer fighter variant has the following class skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Info, Handle Animal, Intimidate, Ride, and Tumble. They receive simple and martial weapons in addition to armor proficiency with light armors and the...

My most damaged book would definitely have to be my 3.0 PHB. This book was heavily abused by a couple of people in my gaming group. All the glue dried up and started cracking, so the individual chunks of book are now coming out. I bought another PHB on ebay for 2 bucks, so I have one for...
