My players and I know we've seen an item, but none of us seem able to track it down. Can anyone offer a pointer? In the same vein as the potion belt and the scroll organizer, which allow their users easy access to often used magic items (making the retrieval of said items a free action), we are...

Wow! Who knew that my simple example would have so many different questions buried inside? It's like the russian doll of combat examples!

Now that you are done with 'Forgotten Forge', you said you are going to try 'Queen with the Burning Eyes' next... I did the exact same thing. My players and I found a few things kind of odd about this one: 1) Monsters - It's like a Daelkyr petting zoo down in those caves. (The dolgaunts are in...

Six of one, half-dozen of the others. Works out to be the same thing. :) Well, warforged have their slam attack, so he can whack them with that if needed. My main concern was the cover problem... Unless the sorcerer pops his head out around one of the kobolds, he can do anything he likes and...

One of the characters in the game I run is a pole-arm wielding warforged, and now that we are using reach weapons on a regular basis, we've run across a odd question. Lets say the character (w) is facing 4 opponents: 3 kobolds guards (k) and a sorcerer (s) - since his polearm gives him 10'...

Animated fecal matter? 'Hiiiidey ho! You smell all nice and flowery!' *shudder*

Back when i was living in SF, I picked up a smallpress paperback guidebook called 'Dr. Weirde's Guide to Mysterious San Francisco'. It has all kinds of interesting info about the city and its environs, and sounds like it would be very fitting for your game. Here's an online sampler of some of...

Only on the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon would you hear the immortal words: 'It's Tiamat... We're saved!'

Assuming you are coming in to LAX, the two closest game stores I can think of are the fore-mentioned Aero Hobbies in Santa Monica, and Third Planet in Torrance. Aero Hobbies has fairly short hours, but has almost any gaming stuff you want (assuming you can find out which teetering pile of...

Unfortunately, it doesn't. It implies, in a roundabout way, and not definitively. If it was as clear cut as you make it out, we wouldn't be having this discussion. ;)

I'm not the DM in this particular game, but we were all trying to figure out how the darn thing works. He assumed that undead were immune, until I pointed out the 'undead take extra' clause. This is problematic for two reasons: Undead are supposed to be immune to poison, and they are also immune...

The monk in our party took the Vow of Poverty and some other Exalted feats, but the one we are really confused by is the Touch of Golden Ice. Three things in particular are troubling us. (I don't have the book in front of me, so forgive me if I get the details wrong.) 1) Nowhere in the section...

Kai, like many others, I am curious (yellow?). Email me at mo100 at earthlink.net

What, like you people have never Googled yourselves? I like Wil. I've met him a couple times (through mutual friends, and then I ran into him after a comedy show). I have no doubt that he was looking himself up on ebay.

FYI: I went to the WotC store in Santa Monica, CA in hopes of picking up some good stuff in their going out of business sale. They had all of their non-WotC D&D stuff and some of the WotC non-D&D on what they called they '$2.00 Shelf', and then took an additional 40% off at the register. I...

They were taking the scenic route?

I'm surprised that no one has suggested that the reason the Modrons were marching was to attend Agar's wedding. "Bride's side or Groom's side?"

Since you also mentioned a love of comics, Gamescape is two doors down from one of the best comics stores in SF, Comix Experience. When I went to college in San Francisco, my weekly Comic run neatly merged into my weekly Game store run, with no muss and no fuss. Whenever I get back to the City...

The pre-registration info for GenCon SoCal just went up, and since I live less than 20 miles away, I thought that I'd check it out. I see that four day badges are $50, and one day badges are $18. Now those prices would be okay for a big Convention if they were run like the ones I'm used to: You...

Re: My bad, sorry Just for the record, I was in college in San Francisco when the Rodney King verdict took place. A number of my friends went downtown to participate in a similar 'peaceful march', and for the most part, it was peaceful... until the cops in riot gear started pushing people...
