You're right. But why did you make your post into what seems to be a knee jerk reaction to MerricB, then?

I suspected they were fake only really when Mom said they'd tried to find them before and had had trouble - Dad should have let mom know he was hiring (if he did). Thing is, given that they're supposed to be a pair of high school sweethearts who broke up when Claire was born, they seemed to...

Most of my NPCs don't have stats - just a name and a general idea of who they are. If I need to make up an npc I've used programs in the past, but in the future I think I might use the quick character creation system in the back of the PHBII.

I like Niki - she's interesting because she's torn between herself, although it's more interesting now that we've seen more of Niki and ikiN interacting with each other.

Just about nothing - MBR showed up, told Isaac she was a fan, asked if she could come in. Then they cut to Niki laying on the floor, while Mohinder did his voiceover - I thought it was about the same as the one at the start of the episode.

Eh. We did see some connections between them, and they are drawing together. Besdies, we wrapped up some plot points in this episode: * The folks that Hiro and friend cheated are finished. * We know what happened with DL, both what everyone else thinks happened and what really happened And I...

I'm sure I'm not the only person who planned to pick up the Dragon Archive CDs to have a complete collection of Wormy. :)

It's comments like these that make me think Reserve feats are mostly balanced. :)

No deep analysis here - but wow, how cool was this? I think the episodes are definately getting stronger as they've moved past the whole 'who are these guys' and gotten into the plot. DL was very cool.

Good luck - I had to post a new thread on the Meta board to get anyone's attention - Hound hadn't (and still hasn't) replied to several emails that I sent out. I suggest you try the same thing - Crothian replied and is sending me something. I'm kinda glad to see I'm not the only person who...

Break Enchantment can only be cast if someone knows where you are. If no one does, you're effectively dead. Besides, 'Reincarnate' is a relatively low-level spell as well 40d6 is nothing to sneeze about, I'll say, but there *are* save or die effects. Phantasmal Killer is a 4th level spell...

You missed a few: A) Save-or-Die effects, such as disintegration B) Negative levels. If your Negative Levels >= Character levels, you are "instantly slain" C) Magical disease - Mummy Rot, for instance, does inflict constitution loss, but it's harder to 'heal' the charisma loss and the spells...

And that's cool - as well as being a lot more grown up than whining about strikes. I don't mind disagreeing with other people, but childish posts like that don't advance the conversation - it stops it to no benefit.

You never houserule your games to make them more fun for the players?

Hmm. Not really. I find it really helpful that there's a suggested amount of stuff that a character probably will have as of such-and-such a level. It's good for a couple of things: 1) If I'm starting out a campaign at something other than 1st level, I can give them a chunk of money and know...

8 bucks is a good price, but that's hardly MSRP! I'd say Player's Handbook II is up there - $35 for 221 pages of pretty high quality isn't to be sneezed at.

Chess pieces are not meant to represent people, and D&D characters are. People, even in the same job, are different from each other in how well they can do different parts of their job.

AD&D Tinkerability was good for home games, and bad for convention games, I think is the point. Generally people have house rules to fix what they dislike in the system, but I don't think anybody would insist on using those rules if they were running a game for strangers at GenCon.

I've never had a campaign with twelve players, but I did have one with eight, and my ears seem fine. :) Two years? I bet we could resolve that in less than two years. You got cash? Hmm. I don't know if I ever did that with AD&D, honestly, but I think I could manage it. Am I allowed to...

"Low Life", by Andy Hopp. Or you can just send me the money back. That's good too.
