    Against the Cult of the Reptile Gods -- FREE?

    Didnt knwo that - uninstalled and deleted. I don't need it as DM. I'll tell the one player who's house doesn't have a legal copy to do the same. Cheers!

    Against the Cult of the Reptile Gods -- FREE?

    Hhhmmm... I don't buy DDI because two of our best players have DDI (which licenses us for 10 puters) and I roll all our adventures myself. If WotC was to publish classic material revamped for 4e once a month in DDI I'd definately subscribe :D

    How do you handle players who arrive late and players who leave early?

    Make companion Characters out of them all. If you are late arriving or leave early you turn into a CC and get "driven" by the party. Well that's what I'd do, anyway. :-)

    [merged] Site speed threads x3

    Responsiveness does seem to be up and down. I always just assume our trusty e/w staff are working to improve what they can and I just bear with it :)

    Swearing and Enworld's Policy

    LOL! Fair enough. Mind you the guy I was saying " I think..." about was a troll who got banned about 2.76 minutes later :P

    Swearing and Enworld's Policy

    *heh* Yeah just discussin to be honest. I haven't had any issues on here. That said rpg.net can be a bit heavier! I got a private red warning for saying "I reckon he's a w*nk*r, just ignore him" :)

    Swearing and Enworld's Policy

    Yeah that makes sense. If someone is being abusive the actual specific words don't really factor in. But if someone is just getting picked up in general for "swearing"... Well I'd imagine a first offence nice warning might be reasonable. If they ignore that they deserve to get their but banned :P

    Swearing and Enworld's Policy

    Same here... That's kinda my point. Also w*nk*r and d*ckh**d aren't swearwords here :)

    Swearing and Enworld's Policy

    This is an interesting topic! Now I understand the need to curb really offensive language - this hobbie does need it's slow trickling influx of juniors and putting that at risk is a BAD THING. By the same token, one man's swearing is another expressiveness... And culture plays a bigger role...

    Terry Pratchett is crazy... but in a good way.

    Terry is teh awesome, ftw. If you watched the docu on his alzheimers you'll also realise he's a real fighter. I hope he wins, somehow... But that particular disease? Not many do.

    D&D 4E [4E only] What kind of miniatures do you use, if any?

    Urm we use minis. The players all have accurate minis of their PCs, which is cute. I collect minis from a few places on the net and have a box full of them. I pay about 0.30 each for them. I can't stop :) They are a mic of WotC, old leadies, games workshop, whatever I see that's that price...

    Just how popular was DnD? Did kids really play it during lunch? (red box nostalgia)

    I started playing in grade 5 ont he weekends. By the first year of high school we were playing at lunch, after school and all day saturday. Everyone brought dice and character sheets. A few of us brought books. I always have the red books, plus the expert and companion ones, in my bag. Life...

    First-time DM questions (new to D&D)

    G'day husky and welcome to the DM club! My answers to your questions, others are welcome to put in their 2cp worth. 1. PCs can make a skill check with any of the skills whenever they want. Being trained isn't necessary. The check won't necessarily turn up anything of interest tho. Tip: Don't...

    Home Made Dm Screen

    *heh* Thanks for that. Actually I'd say an FAQ will be easiest of all for you. Just get everyone to ask any questions they have on here and copy/paste the question and answer :) Most of it looks straight-forward. Just a matter of getting the PC details in. I'll let you know if I come up with...

    Longest Encounter Yet!

    The obvious thing is there was no break to recharge your encounter powers. In your DMs position I would have given you a five minute break between encounters 3 and 4 joining the frey. How does that fit in with a "real world", well it takes time for news to travel and cirtters to respond. A...
