    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    Ha! I never get lost, especially in my own backyard, but doing battle with plants is hard work. They are immune to critical hits and mind affecting spells (which means I can't even kidnap Enk and make him use his cheesy jokes on them.) My lawn mower is +4 and keen, but it is still just a push...

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    Its okay brellin we get that a lot. Welcome aboard. Sorry about the delay for the new stuff, especially since it is only a couple more before we wrap up Small and kick off the second part...where scores can really change...but the pdf and extras took up more time than we thought. Little Enks...

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    Bad things would be afoot at the circle K if anything ever happened to Meepo (and believe me I've tried several times). The couch being the least of them...Lucky for me Meepo is on hiatus in the current story arch. It was a sad parting, but the return will be oh so much fun for our small hero...

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    It is really a modified bag of tricks, but up until that point he had never pulled anything other than bunnies out of it for magic shows back home. (Well actually he used it once before but we omitted that part of the story because Enk and I forgot about it until Bubbles reminded us. It happens)...

    Informal DM Survey: Stat Generation Method?

    NPC's: I just decide what they are based on what my players have. Players: 4d6 drop the lowest and select where they go. We see a varying level of stats, but we like that. We don't really care about how balanced things are, because at some point everyone seems to shine. It is especially funny...

    Legality Question

    First: I am not a lawyer We deal with issues like this on a daily basis at work (Information Security) and I do believe that precedence states that you may not even make a pdf copy of your own book. (If I can find the cases I will post it later). Here is a link to the copyright website from the...

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    We wondered if anyone would catch that, or the Charlie Sheen (as nobody really mantioned anything when we did Barney Rubble some time ago). Neither Enk nor myself could remember the word used, so we were thinking what to put. Meanwhile my wife was taking a quiz from the latest Entertainment...

    Icemist and Beyond: Characters from Small Beginnings

    We have a lot of things in the works and Fett will get them to you as soon as he can. I will get him the stats for the gloves to get you started with though. Shatterspike is actually from the module itself so I would hate to repost it here without permission. It didn't last long as you can tell...

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    Thanks LiVe, Answer #1, No you didn't miss anything. Enk and I just sometimes skip over smaller fights or conversations and prefer to mention them in short passings like this one or in a quick flashback or something. There may be times where we feel the best way to tell a part of the story is...

    Is power attack too powerful?

    Even though my groups plays with power attack as it is, we have all felt that it is overpowered for a single feat. I have always thought that a good alternative would be that the feat allows you to take your str bonus for "To hit" away and double your damage bonus. Power attack is one of the few...

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    What, you don't want a Christmas present? ;) We just felt the pace of the story needed to slow down a bit. Yeah that's the ticket. No, really we already have several posts ready and we intend to keep going full speed ahead. We are getting a bit better organized and mean to get Fett more...

    Harm and critical hits...

    That is how my group has played it in past campaigns (Doubling the damage), but we felt that the spell could not take a character below 1 hp regardless of the crit.

    Ohio Gameday 3: March 13th - Event is over! - Planning for Gameday IV begins?

    And on with the show.. Now that the mage had evened the odds for our dwarven warrior the ogre and orcs were quickly dispatched. Knowing that an alarmed had been raised we felt it best to travel quickly at this point which meant shrinking the dwarf back down to size so that he could fit through...

    Ohio Gameday 3: March 13th - Event is over! - Planning for Gameday IV begins?

    Once the goo was washed off the warriors we examined the door and found it securly locked. Not wanting to exhaust 4J the door was quickly disabled by the skillful hands of Enol the Infiltrator and the group was free to move on. A door to the left looked promising and 4J moved forward to...

    Ohio Gameday 3: March 13th - Event is over! - Planning for Gameday IV begins?

    OK here is the quick breakdown. Enk = DM Fett = Malachi aka Shield ( 5th level Human Cleric with no chance to hit anything but has a real nice AC with his magical shield and Plate Armor) Bubblicious = Jerimiah Joeffrey Johanson Jr or something like that aka 4J (5th level dwarven warrior with...

    Ohio Gameday 3: March 13th - Event is over! - Planning for Gameday IV begins?

    OKay okay I am finally finding some time to post. I can run as many game slots as you want and I can run whatever you want. I am thinking an evil campaign might be fun. Not like serial killer evil but more like Mel Gibson in Payback type evil. I am open for anything though. If anyone has a good...

    Does your group have a "main character"?

    I have often found that as my games run their course a "main character" of sorts seems to emerge. This main character may change from time to time, but in a heavy fatality game it may be the only thing that keeps the plot going. I, however, never do it intentionally, or focus the game on it, nor...

    Ohio Gameday 3: March 13th - Event is over! - Planning for Gameday IV begins?

    As always, I am more than happy to run a game in either time slot. It will be 3rd ed but what is still up for grabs. I am open for suggestions from potential gamers and I haven't ruled out a thrid part to the swashbuckling antics of my past groups.

    Why are reflex saves immune to anything that is detrimental to dexterity?

    I would say it is because Dex is more than just the ability to dodge or move quickly. It is a composite of several different aspects including but not limited to dodge, hand/eye coordination, precision, flexability, nimbleness, and others. Armor would affect those portions of the dex bonus that...

    how long do you let combat go? why?

    I can't see imposing a penalty or a check for length of combat when there is no degradation in skill for being injured or recently restored to positive HP from a cure spell. I just let the combat go until one group drops from hp loss.
