I voted for "remove the fluff names", but am beginning to think that the fluff names don't really matter. The 4e SRD will strip out the names, and I'm likely to use the SRD as a primary resource in the same way as I do the 3.5 SRD (since books aren't as available as the internet in many...

You can point to the dragonsfoot brouhaha a few years ago for exactly the same thing. Such purges create a type of harmony within the community, and in some circles are considered a good thing. One of the biggest reasons ENWorld is so successful is that it started out as pro 3e site with...

That race is reshpectabiggle.

Cosplay? No. That would require both of us to be pantless. Besides, I don't actually own a sweater vest.

Next Gen Con, I'll play Beagly Beagly to your Grape Ape.

I think the open call was a great idea - modeling one of the most successful WotC ventures in the last 7 years (the setting search that produced Eberron) is a shoo-in for success. And really I've got no gripe with the initial judging. While I wouldn't have necessarily made the same choices, a...

FYI - We're back to MySQL "too many connections" errors as of 11:20 AM EST.

I really like Power Attack as a way to bypass DR. I really dislike the default assumption that players are too stupid to multiply by 1.5 on two handed weapons. And I came to the conclusion that PA was almost required for any full BAB class in order to be effective in melee past about 10th level.

That goes without saying, doesn't it?

Strapping a sword to a pole ? I think you can safely call something like that an Improvised Weapon, using a glaive as the basis for damage and reach, though I'd be tempted to take the damage down a notch from the glaive. The end result would be Reach 10', damage d10 (or d8 if you kick it down a...

Place an "anti-magic" weapon in the lead up to the climax. Make it adamantine and something only the rogue is likely to use. Then say that it's only "magical" property is the ability to cut through dweomers - allowing the rogue to treat the living spell as if it were a physical being subject to...

HEX (Hollow Earth Expeditions) uses Style points. Basically, you receive them for two things - playing according to your stated character (using something called Motivations) and whenever a flaw impacts play. Motivations can be things like "duty," and PCs can get a Style point whenever they...

Well, I've got the feeling that this will be at least an every 6 month gig, with the possibility of moving to a 3 times a year model if attendance shoots up. Keep your eyes peeled for threads after the new year!

"You killed, Sturm!" "You bastards!"

My method is to read the module (that word right there should give you an idea of what's coming next), take the maps pretty much as is, take the core idea, and then change everything to be nearly unrecognizable.

Great fun was there to be had, as were gobs of baked goods. I came away full of both, and I'm hoping you did too. There have been calls to do it again in the (near?) future, and the management of the game store would love to have us back. I'll see if I can polish up those notes I promised you...

Done! We'll see you all tomorrow!

Reminder! If you signed up for one of the C&C games, please sign up for one of the other games we have available.

I've done some updating! Here's where we stand: - We've lost two C&C games; leaving a handful of player orphans. - The morning slot already has a D&D game in it, with enough space for all of the orphaned players in the AM. - The evening slot, however, does not. I will therefore be running a...

Resolution is highly overrated, especially when your just talking about year two of what looks like it will be a 7 year long campaign when everything is said and done (assuming that we don't continue after wrapping up the major plot threads when we get back to it after the new year!).
