    Rate X-Men: The Last Stand [no spoilers]

    I gave it an 8. It's too short; a lot of the characters weren't adequately developed. And the last shot is horrible--the most cliched sequel-spawning stupidity that producers force onto almost every interesting movie. But I have to give them props for the, uh, stuff I won't discuss in this...

    My players are scared of ruining the balance

    You do not state this directly, but this statement implies (to me) that your players think everything WotC publishes for D&D is acceptable because it is (automatically) balanced. If so, that's an assumption that's just laughable. If not, do they pick apart every single WotC product (and Paizo...

    Quoth the Server - 404!

    OK, the correct URL for the Syndication instructions is: http://www.enworld.org/index.php?page=syndicate Just gotta check out that "Synication" link at the bottom of every page. :o

    get the ENWorld RSS newsfeed?

    How do I get the ENWorld RSS newsfeed? I can see it on other web sites, so I know it works, but I can't see the code/url behind the feed. The one post about it I found here at EN World has a broken link (see the "Quoth the Server 404" thread for details). I'm just trying to add it to a yahoo...

    Quoth the Server - 404!

    In this post, there is a link to "system in place for newsfeeds from EN World" that does not work: http://www.enworld.org/forums/news.php?page=syndicate I tried taking out the /forums part of the link, but http://www.enworld.org/news.php?page=syndicate doesn't work either.

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter12 just gained a level. What next?

    I'll check those feats out when I get home. I think I may have looked at them a while back, but I'm old and senile now and had forgotten about them. Power Critical is o.k., except that I have rarely gotten a critical with the scythe in the last year. 3.5 made it difficult to increase the crit...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter12 just gained a level. What next?

    Thanks for the input. His armor is mithral full plate, so Evasion is a no-go. Which is too bad, because your BAB/Saves analysis had just about sold me on Rogue levels. Thankfully, the armor counts as medium so I can still get the fast movement if I take Barbarian. Which is what I'm leaning...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter12 just gained a level. What next?

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I'll take them one at a time. I think the sickness is caused, in part, by the lack of higher level fighter feats. Not allowed yet, so I'm not going to hold my breath. :) Too bad, because some of the new fighter feats would be fun to take. I hadn't...

    D&D 5E (2014) Fighter12 just gained a level. What next?

    I've got about four hours to decide how to level up my fighter. This is for RPGA LG. Dwarf, Ftr12, specializing in scythe. He's got the 5 standard weapon feats (Wpn Focus through Greater Weapon Spec, and Improved Critical) for the scythe. Plus, Power Attack, Cleave, Combat Reflexes, Improved...

    Community Supporter Accounts (multiple years)

    Just ask Morrus to extend your existing account deadline. You might as well get every month you pay for. :) Morrus, do we need to kick in some extra for medical treatments for your aching fingers? ;)

    Community Supporter Account Extended

    Adding on to the extension work... My CSA was set to expire in July of 2007. I just purchased two years (as two separate transactions), so please extend until July 19, 2009. Thanks! Kent

    Community Supporter Account Sale Back On!

    Can we buy multiple years (at this rate) to add to one existing account? Can we buy a year to give as a gift to someone else?

    Where would you be Banished to?

    No. Remember, this is punishment for you. D&D books and dice help get you there, but once there the only role playing game you experience is a Synnibarr LARP run by Pat Pulling. Enjoy.

    Advice for a GenCon Indy newbie.

    Don't waste valuable shopping money on taxis. If possible, stay close by (see post directly above) and spend, spend spend in the massive 'dealer room' (I don't even know if GenCon still calls it that anymore). If you go through the GenCon housing office to get a room, all the ones close by may...

    PTOLUS - Who has pre-ordered?

    I am torn. I think it may be the last great third edition product, but I would probably never use it. So, I've got to decide quickly whether or not to get it. I have done a great job of *not* buying cool stuff in the last year, which helps the finances considerably. :) Keeping that streak...

    Would you like to see RPGA modules in Dungeon magazine?

    Ditto. I agree with NiTessine: Reprint retired/current RPGA adventures? No. Allow RPGA campaigns to use adventures published in Dungeon? Yes.

    Mithril Studded Leather?

    In my view, attaching metal to metal is easier than attaching metal to organic material. YMMV.

    Mithril Studded Leather?

    Because mithral is rare, expensive, and very difficult to work with. Since it's harder to work with (in my world), I'd make it cost more--sometimes the "smaller" task takes longer. Attaching mithral to leather would not be easy (again, in my world), so the price bump would be the same as that...
