    Dice math.

    I was wondering when this was going to come up in this thread. :) I was even going to ask the same question of Olgar before I read your post. That is one of my favorite plays.

    Mechanics Dogma - Requirements for a system

    Unless you were trying to intentionally troll. That would be the only reason to go to such a forum and state such things. I don't believe that that is what Storm Gorm was doing, however. He just didn't realize that people on this forum would be unreceptive to another system that isn't...

    Which Edition Do You Use?

    I keep wondering if Diaglo has this macro'ed so all he has to do is use CTRL-O and it types this out.

    Poll: Which Icons of Evil have Influenced Your Game's BBEG?

    When I read this, I thought of Torquemada from History of the World Part 1. Nothing better than a singing and dancing leader of evil. "The Inquisition! What a show. The Inquisition! Here we go. I bet you wish that we'd just go away!!! But the inquisition's here and it's here to stay!!!"

    Unusual gaming terms and phrases

    So we have a couple of them. "Brian Dead" We had a player who couldn't get the idea of "You're not dead until you reach -10 hit points". So, whenever he got dropped under 0 hit points he would say something like "Great, now I'm dead!" It happened often enough that "Brian Dead" got to be the...

    What D&D cliches are you sick of?

    I agree. "Darn. I was sure he was "misunderstood with a hard childhood", but it turns out he's "misunderstood with feelings of deep regret". I knew I should have prepared that spell." And now for my complaint: I agree with the "Drizzt Clone" haters. "No...my 2 scimitar wielding Drow...

    GM or DM

    I voted for GM. However, when actually saying the whole word, I usually say Dungeon Master, (especially when there are people around who aren't roleplayers) because if you slur the words together too much Game Master becomes something WHOLLY different. Oh, and while we're on that subject...if...

    Transformers or G.I. Joe?

    Ah yes. I had the Old School G.I. Joe as well. The one with real (as opposed to hard plastic) hair and beard stubble. I voted for Transformers, tho. I like the Transformers.

    Are gamers smarter?

    I think gamers, on average, aren't any smarter than the average of the general populous. I just think that we are more well read. As the "avid gamer" tends to read much more than the average person. I don't know many people who are into gaming (I'm using "gaming" or "gamer" to refer to...

    DM Advice: How strict should the paladin code be?

    I agree that he should have been stripped of powers until he made attonement for that act. However, I would have warned him (perhaps with a quick private note) that he was doing something against his alignment, and more specifically, something that would be completely offensive to his god...

    CREATING Game Music

    I agree completely with Verdigris. I too, make electronic music. Cool Edit Pro can be bought pretty cheaply, and has a demo. I haven't tried Absynth, but it's pretty expensive. I use Propellerhead's Reason, which somewhere between 100 and 200 dollars., but it's a great program. If you...

    Silliest thing you've seen in a serious campaign...

    There are a couple of things. My regular DM got into a kick where he wanted potions to be different. So, one healing potion we got had been opened, and had partially dried. Therefore, it had some chewy bits that you had to chew to get the effect. Another thing is, at the time, we tended to...

    [Hijack] Debate over definition of "grit." Plus: is Midnight gritty?

    Wow. I'm impressed. Gregor quoted Henry's post BEFORE Henry even posted it. He's some sort of ENWorld psychic. However, to keep this thread on topic, I agree with Henry. If you're trying to go for a gritty game, I'd say go for it. But I wouldn't want to play in a regular D&D game using...

    [OT] Who are YOU and what do you DO?

    I'm 32, and I work as a software QA tech for Hewlett Packard. In other words, I'm a test monkey. Other than work, and D&D, I like computer gaming (I finally got my computer re-working, and installed Star Wars Galaxies last night.) I also have my computer set up as a "Bedroom Music Studio"...

    Credit cards and Debit cards question

    I don't use credit cards, but my debit card is signed. The nice thing is it has my picture on it as well, so it'd be harder for someone to use it (unless they have my PIN and use it at the supermarket or so forth.) There are a couple of stores here in Boise that, even though it's a debit...

    Everyone, Tell us about your games, please!

    1.) How many players in your group? Currenly 5 including the DM, since Chud left to do long haul driving. (Yes, I know someone named Chud, that wasn't a typo. :) 2.) Do you DM? I have, but I'm not the regular DM. And I'm going to do a short term game soon. 3.) Do other people in the group...
