    Holy Flunkin Snitt.

    I knew about spacebar to scroll down, but I didn't know about shift+spacebar to scroll up. Cool. I used to work in QuarkXpress on a Mac. There was/is a special combo of keys to delete a text box which will have a little robot/alien walk onto the screen and shoot the text box with a ray to...

    Mearls on Balance in D&D

    As for Mearl's review of KotB, I found it hilarious. Yes, he does pound pretty hard in the last couple paragraphs, but actually, I think he got it right -- if I remember correctly (don't remember where I read it) EGG said that he had to write that in about a week, between other projects.

    Mearls on Balance in D&D

    And 90% of all modules had only a S marked on the map as info on a secret door. Rarely any mention in the text about how to open it (or even any mention of torch sconces anywhere in the dungeon). OR Quasqueton

    Have fantasy novels gotten "better" since D&D?

    Yes. Everything has gotten better since D&D. Quasqueton

    What's the problem with bringing PCs back from the dead?

    Well, someone could explain why they think pegasi are cool. Would you get all worked up over that discussion? Would you feel personally assaulted at having someone disagree or find confusion at your reasons for thinking a flying horse is dorky? (And we could use “myth, legend, and literature” to...

    What's the problem with bringing PCs back from the dead?

    A- Character does something “heroic” and dies. If the party is low level, the surviving friends carry the hero’s body to a friendly temple and arrange a raise/resurrection for some expense. If the party is high level, they might can perform the raise/resurrection themselves, still at some...

    What's the problem with bringing PCs back from the dead?

    This whole idea that raising dead PCs in a D&D game should be rare and/or extremely difficult, or impossible, based on the argument that it is such in myth, legend, and literature strikes me as very odd. Since when, and why, do myths, legends, and literature drive the rules, conventions, and...

    money value in 1st/2nd/3rd ed.

    What's the player of the dead PC to do during this quest? I could see this concept being the whole of a campaign -- the PCs are "ghost grabbers" for hire. Quasqueton

    What's the problem with bringing PCs back from the dead?

    It's kind of odd, I guess. I have a "mental stumble" at the other option -- Hey, here's another 8th-level character in the neighborhood who just happens to be completely willing to join your group without reservation. Personally, I would rather to see 6 raise deads in a campaign than to have to...

    What's the problem with bringing PCs back from the dead?

    Through many threads on these forums, there are many people who state their dislike for raise dead and the other such "bring someone back from the dead" spells. Many DMs have added obstacles for the PCs to overcome to get a raise dead, or have completely removed the spells from the game. Why is...

    Is RAISE DEAD (etc.) too readily available in most D&D campaigns?

    Nightfall worships Orcus. He didn't raise this thread from death, he animated it to undeath. So, now this thread can never be raised. Quasqueton
