Huh. Wellp, looks like the word count took another victim. Hope it gets a bit bigger further on... Ah, well, it was fun. Gradine, go on and win this one, so I can at least say I lost to the final winner (and, thus, claim second place) ;)

Oh, and for the record, if I were doing a ranger: 1. Good combat abilities 2. Light Armour, but able to move quickly out of harm's reach 3. Good at perception, and avoiding being surprised 4. Can help allies move over bad terrain effects, and can help surprised allies act in surprise round...

Ultimately, I think the D&D game needs a ranger. Cutting it out, and replacing with a background, just wouldn't fit in the game. It's core to the game... in the same vein that you can't really do a Dark Sun game without making sure you've got "templar", "Defiler", and "Gladiator" available as...

Thunder is what "Sonic" was in 3e. It's noise damage - coupled with a shockwave. For what it's worth, "bludgeon" and "bludgeon with air" are two entirely things. The second bit could more reasonably be called "Concussion" or "Shockwave", and it affects your body completely different. A blunt...

I think of force energy in the same way I think of Mana-based energy in Shadowrun. Basically, in SR, creatures exist on an astral and physical plane. Some creatures are stronger on one plane over the other (for example, mundane folk have more of a presence on the physical plane; ghosts...

Lucky! I spent a good half hour trying to figure out what to do with "tear" and "grave news". "New Graves" is a bit more direct!

I dunno. I can see it as being fun. Being targeted constantly doesn't necessarily mean it's bad - it just means that the GM notices you! For some players, that's a great thing. And if it encourages the cleric to maybe swap out into a new armour set - why not? Makes perfect sense for the...

Alright. Up and ready. Kind of miss some of the nice touches that had to be cut out. I was joking to the missus that it was "Iron DM, twitter edition". :) But I think it turned out alright. Looking forward to seeing some of the other entries!

Redemptions Ingredients: 1. Tear 2. Underground Passage 3. Hopeless Quest 4. Grave News 5. Travelling Entertainer 6. Charming Devil In the town of Aebrilloch, appearances matter. Talented folk go nowhere without looks. Gauge, a minstrel with a scribe’s face, only wanted to bring...

Yeah, well, it's more fun to complain endlessly about it. It's what writers do. ;)

Yeah, the word count is BRUTAL. I mean, you basically only have 125 words per ingredient. That's TOUGH. I'm at 600 words, and just realized I need to completely rewrite. *sigh*

Sure. That's just peachy for me. Sounds good!

Thursday would be perfect. So long as I have my assignment before 5 PM PT, I'm golden. :)

Phew! I was worried my first round would be up against Iron Sky. I've lost to him before. :) Interesting ingredient list. Wish y'all luck. I've got an idea of what direction they'll head - we'll see if I'm right in 24 hours.

I have a similar goal to yours for the long run, and honestly, I don't think D&D is the way to go for that end goal. Or, if you do, go with generic classes from UA 3rd edition - three base classes that level up as you go, and then you hand out abilities as the result of adventures. Were I to...

the group I GM for has a bear barbarian. What's awesome is, mechanically, she's a half-orc... but in the actual campaign, she's an awakened bear. Like, literally. A cross between Chewbacca and Baloo from the jungle book, she named her bear "Chewbaloo", because obviously. The thing about...

Sure, anytime is good for me - I'd prefer evening schedules.... assuming 7 PM ET, that means it's here around 3 PM PT, so I can start when I get home from work, which is nice. As I said before, I'm free anytime, EXCEPT mondays... and I'd prefer (but don't need) wednesdays free.

I'm now free. Monday was my crappy night - I'm busy till late each monday night (game night!) I can do any day, prefer NOT on wednesdays but can if necessary. I'm on Pacific Time, if that really matters. Fun!

5 out of 5 rating for Out of the Abyss I love this module. It's not really linear. It goes in all sorts of different directions, and doesn't "expect" anything. It's strangely whimsical, and has a lot of cool stuff hidden in random encounters - in other words, lots of great stuff that isn't...

It's usually not much like that. I've done a few of these, something like five or six years ago, and they've consistently been one of the most enjoyable - and positive - experiences on ENWorld. A few tips: 1. Watch your ingredients. Be clever with them - the cleverer, the better. But...
