    What's the Best RPG Bargain You've Ever Gotten?

    1st ed. Deities and Demigods, with Cthulhu & Melnibonean entries, for $1 at a garage sale. Might have been $3; it's been so long (8 years ago) that I can't remember exactly.

    Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows - POTENTIAL SPOILERS

    JK Rowling has a great sense of humor Just a brief tangent.... JK Rowling has a great sense of humor. Warning, SPOILERS for "Half-Blood Prince" From CNN:

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix SPOILERS!!!

    I forgot that. Yeah, he follows the rules. He just likes Delores Umbridge's rules a lot better than Dumbledore's rules. :) My biggest disappointment with the movie is the how interesting secondary characters get almost no screen time. I remember Lupin saying, "Hello, Harry," but did he...

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix SPOILERS!!!

    SPOILERS may be present. Saw it last night. Liked it. But I really gotta wonder? Why the hell does Dumbledore keep Filch around? I mean, really. The man is evil. He seems to relish Delores Umbridge's torture of the students.

    What is the longest you've ever played a single PC?

    Home game: 3 years, from 1st to 13th level, then a TPK. Living Greyhawk: 7 years, from 1st to 14th (with 5 deaths; otherwise he'd have hit 18th level and mandatory retirement a couple of years ago). Shortest lived: first PC I ever played (1979). Died in the first combat encounter. :)

    Feat Suggestion for wood elf Wildrunner/Cleric

    Yes, but I can re-train Two Weapon Pounce into some other feat later. We're in the middle of Red Hand of Doom and we've been seeing a lot of dragons. So, I just re-trained my favorite enemy to Dragon. Re-training is great. The Wildrunner pounce is also a little more limited (only on the...

    Feat Suggestion for wood elf Wildrunner/Cleric

    Thanks for the suggestions. They are both allowed in LG. My PC doesn't have the Imp. Two Weapon Fighting pre-req for Dual Strike (or even the Dex to get ITWF), but he qualifies for Two Weapon Pounce. That also fits great with Wildrunner, which will give Pounce at sixth level--it's sort of...

    Building my first 3rd-edition wizard. What are the essentials?

    I like the Artificer's Monocle. Useful, and I don't think it's too expensive (but I don't have the book with me, so I don't recall the exact price).

    Feat Suggestion for wood elf Wildrunner/Cleric

    OK, I have a Spring Attacking wood elf who just made 9th level. Having previously concentrated on Spring Attack, I'm suddenly looking for a feat. This is for RPGA Living Greyhawk, so there are some limitations. The build is Barbarian 2 / Ranger 3 / Wildrunner 3 / Cleric 1. With the Celerity...

    Wizard's red dragon

    Like WotC's Blue Dragon? It is the coolest of the three.

    Rife machines

    Does anyone know anything about "Rife machines?" My aunt's "Reiki Master" has suggested such a device as a cure for my mother's cancer. I kid you not. It's pure quackery, as far as I'm concerned. But I'm trying to give the illusion of an "open mind" (at the very least). TIA

    Chicago Gameday XVII ROCKED: The Aftermath...

    You could have merged the two kingdoms; I think a united Ablet was, really, everyone's goal. :p

    Chicago Gameday XVII ROCKED: The Aftermath...

    Thanks for everyone involved; I had a great time. Thanks to Curt and Games Plus for hosting--a fantastic site for a gameday and wonderful hosts, as always. Thanks to Buzz for organizing the shindig! Thanks to the ten players from the various Ablets--Mt. McCracken was a lot of fun. Props to...

    What is the deal with giving your kid a last name as a first name?

    Ima Hogg was the daughter of Stephen Hogg, governor of Texas. She left a lot of money to the University of Texas; there is an auditorium named in her honor there. But the "Ura" part is not true (at least in that family). My best friend in high school reported the same story, only the...

    Then cancel my game; I can't afford to go without the coupon! That's $7 of gaming product I can't buy now. :( ;)
