Never faced one, never ran one. But I do have an entire campaign world based on the tarrasque awakening being a recurring once-every-couple-millenia event. Maybe I'll run a game in it some day. *shrug*

xkcd • View topic - 0675: "Revolutionary" Basically - if you're seated in a racecar, on a train going the speed of light, and you stomp on the gas pedal, you're *NOT* going faster than the speed of light. "Not even wrong" means that you're so far from anything resembling valid logic, that...

Certainly useful, definitely eye-pleasing, but for all the same reasons mentioned above, I'd hesitate to use it.

Everyone else in PA got to ride the thing out but me. I swear, I'm the only Pennsylvanian to not feel so much as a shiver in the ground. Of course, I do technically work underground, and from what I'm gathering the higher your elevation, the better chance you had of feeling something. =/ I...

Silt Horror tentacles! Now, make a mouth!

My wife didn't like it, my friend who got me into Dresden loves it. I haven't started it yet because other "real books" keep getting in the way, but I'm a big fan of short stories, so I suspect I'll enjoy it.

I'm currently in the process of converting my 4e Dark Sun game to Pathfinder, and I've run across a pretty big snag - monsters. Specifically, Athas-exclusive monsters - braxat, gaj, jhakars, etc. I'm familiar with (and have downloaded) Athas.org 3.0 bestiary, but I'm wondering if anyone out...

About to finish A Dance with Dragons, then it's on to Frankenstein: The Dead Town by Dean Koontz, and then I'll probably finally get through Side Jobs by Jim Butcher before starting on Ghost Story.

Either Community, 30 Rock, or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I like irreverent humor (Always Sunny), absurdity (30 Rock), and Community is just so well written and laced with outside references and subtle double-entendre that I find myself constantly in wonder how it stays on the air. It...

"Fireballs and You: Practical Exercises in Thermodynamics"

Finishing Changes, then it'll be on to A Dance with Dragons (which arrives today). After that, I'll probably pick up Ghost Story and fight my wife for the right to read it first. And as for the Brandon Sanderson mini-discussion going on upthread - I'm a much bigger fan of his continuation of...

The only thing I'd be worried about is, if using the "side trek" dealy, is that it assumes the PCs survived the side trek. Otherwise...the main campaign plot would not have been able to carry on. Or even if one PC dies, and the others get that PC raised, I have to assume somewhere along the...

This is exact same argument my friend and I have over Cowboys & Aliens. I'm firmly in the "This cannot be anything but 100% canned awesomesauce" camp. He's decidely...not. He's wrong. But he's so stubborn that he won't concede that point until the movie is finally released.

Well, on that front, last summer I came into possession of multiple copies of the RPGA Tomb of Horrors module. I just posted in the general 4e forum about being interested in working out trades for minis and other modules, and I managed to work out 3 trades that way. No one seemed nonplussed...

I sold off my 3.5 and 2e stuff to them and honestly got more credit than I knew what to do with. I bought some 4e stuff, some Pathfinder stuff, a bunch of dice I didn't need, and a couple of minis. All I had to do was provide the titles and an estimate of the condition of my stuff, and they...

Try Noble Knight. They give a pretty generous amount of cash or credit (depending on the quality, rarity, and condition of your stuff), have a good sized inventory of new and older (and out-of-print) stuff to buy with your credit (if you go that route), and have other gaming aids like minis and...

I'm in a somewhat similar situation myself. I've been DM'ing and playing 4e since it was released, going so far as to sell off my 3.x material. Recently, one of my players (also a co-player in another game) and I have had been kind of jonesing for 3.x. We decided to give 2 Pathfinder modules...

As someone who was laid off for 10.5 months a little over two years ago, my sympathies, thoughts, and prayers go out to anyone who loses their job through no fault of their own. As a fan of D&D, I have a sick feeling in my stomach. I hope that's just an overreaction to what looks like really...

Cheapest option I've found (and the only one that actually "stuck" with my groups) is to buy yourself a 1" hole punch, and several sheets of thin felt in multiple colors. My groups use red (bloodied), blue (movement impairing effects), green (ongoing damage), black (Hunter's Mark, Warlock's...

The OP totally needs to ask his DM if he can adapt the Arena fighter build from Dark Sun for this game. Suddenly, everything is an improvised weapon! Yay! And at d8 damage to boot! Huzzah!
