So far so good on this one - setting an execution date lights a fire under the PCs feet. However, it's probably time to up the ante - stage an assassination attempt on the father while in he's imprisoned, but let it fail. Make sure that Pop gets a good look at his attackers, and can identify...

Problems as I see it: 1) Lack of party leadership. If your players are discussing the pros and cons of certain actions for hours and still not coming to a consensus, they have too many chiefs. Convoluted plots can require a "tie breaker" when the party is split on available choices, and that...

To be fair, it wasn't meant as a "fanboy" comment. Townsaver was probably the "sword most likley to have a D&D counterpart," and it's cool, to boot.

I don't see anything wrong with this one, as charging doesn't seem to be singled out in the soft cover rules. Note that soft cover as per ranged attacks would apply. ---------- ------123 ---------- I do, however, see a problem with this one: -------1-- -------23- ---------- As charging...

Someone didn't bathe in tomato juice to get rid of the musk...

I'm amazed by what my current 16th level PC has accumulated: +2 good longsword (also gives a +2 CHA bonus when worn/wielded) +3 holy greatsword of speed (that does subdual damage only) - the scabbard to the above, which allows the greatsword to be sheathed as a free action +2 holy composite bow...

Paris Hilton? Yes. Quotes? No.

I bought a house! Is that 'nuff said? In other news, I have Word open in another window, and guess what's open?

So that's how it is in Carolina...

I'd rule (hell, I suggested ruling this way to our DM last Sunday when it came up) that you can do it, but that both allies would be considered "squeezed" until their next turn.

I second this: flavor text for a spell effect is a must. Some examples: Magic missle becomes ravenous worms: a handful of ghostly white, finger-width worms that burrow into the flesh of the target, each causing 1d4+1 points of damage. After bgurrowing into the target, they dissipate. Spectral...

That sounds exactly like an old PBM game played through a browser.

In our present campaign, we fight a lot of demons. This is what our paty has found: Rule #1: Demons are just as vulnerable to sneak attacks as everyone else. Make sure that you've got enough light sources to counteract their darkness abilities in order to maximize the number of times your rogue...

In my homebrew, I have two druidic factions that compete constantly. Both are basically Neutral organizations that are based on the same basic principles, but the rivalry often gets violent, as they compete for hunting grounds, faerie mounds, sacred groves, and the like. Worse, they both trace...

I prefer "threads as story arcs." If enough plot ends are wrapped up, then I like feeling a sense of closure on a thread before I start readin' the new one.

Two things 1) If a change is enough to affect a large number of poster's experience, then it is a major change. It may have been a necessary major change, but it was major. 2) There is more than one way to skin the emergency cat - I gave you one above - and in my experience it is preferable...

I just realized that from the time you posted this, TR, until the time the deed was done was less than an hour. And while I realize that this is Morrus's sandbox to do with as he pleases, this place is also a gateway for product sales - and as such this place needs to have some sort of organized...

How about an alignment descriptor? For example, gaining the [Good] or [Evil] subtype and all the DR-bypassing-goodness that comes with it - fit the bill?

My gaming group is currently looking at turning as something that needs to be more "fun," and came up with this framework: - Turning is no longer strictly a clerical schtick, though they are still the best at it. However, any true believer (and this is a DM call - non mechnical in the extreme)...

OK - based on this, I can see a few conclusions (you'd have to ask yourself a few more questions to narrow it down further): 1) Your 2e campaign(s) never left the sweet spot for the game. 2) The criteria you use to identify a rewarding RPG experince is different today than it was then. 3) 2e...
