    14 year old girl wants to join my game

    It is easy to end up on the Sex Offenders list. Your behavior can be 100% innocent and something can accidently happen that is absolutley innocent or harmless that a court of law may see as offensive behavior and ove then find their life ruined. I know of a fellow on such a list , he didn't do...

    Dungeon Survival Guide

    It isn't a mirrorstone book. It's a D&D book. It doesn't turn up on the mirrorstone page but does on the D&D page. It is really feeble also. I like some of those "ology" books, this one fails compared to most i've seen.

    Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

    People have to realize they are zombies and not ebola vicitms, or brain damaged from being legally dead for an hour before they "revived", or drugged out of their minds . If their first introduction to a zombie is immediate and horrible violence well , most people do not react to violence with a...

    Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

    Too bad most of the good snipers are overseas, along with a lot of the good hardware, vehicles and weapons. yeah, specialists endu p in serious immediate danger rushing to help infected people and isolating them. and someone has to be giving the orders. There will be a lag between outbreak...

    Dungeon Survival Guide

    I was looking at it to buy it for my just turned 12 year old and passed. It really is not worth it.

    Dungeon Survival Guide

    Very lame indeed. It's mostly pictures and large text, I was horrified. Looks like D&D has jumped the shark with the Rules Compendium.

    Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

    Romero-esque scenario with recent dead coming back to I life even if they aren't bitten would be a civilization reseting event without a doubt. We are trained by civilization to be upset, depressed and in poor shape when a loved oen dies...imagine the loved one dies and then comes back and kills...

    If we all rolled the normal way for stats, how come he has three 18's?

    I pulled the stats from a site about probabilities. By injury they could mean any scratcch that requires some treatment beyond dabbing at it with some bathroom tissue.

    Alternatives to Save or Die

    some sort of "Save or Die Slowly" is betetr by my reckoning because: 1. folks notice, it isn't just "oh bob is dead, does he still have that potion we got last session in his backpack?" 2. the player of the dying charcter isn't going to let the other players forget they are dying. 3. people...

    painful...I'd rather the studio that does Southpark did the Dragonlance movie.

    Canada portrayed negatively in games?

    I've lived most my life in mass or NH , I had a relative who was going to visit from NY call me once and ask if we would be getting the world series on television ...we assured him there were actual broadcast stations in the region. We also had toilet paper and indoor plumbing. What is the...

    Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

    I have an emergency cache myself but my home is totally unacceptable as a zombie-apocalypse refuge. I have water purifying tabs and other such stuff, but If I'm in my attic becasue the zombies came shuffling out of the graveyard a 1/2 mile away I'm screwed.

    If we all rolled the normal way for stats, how come he has three 18's?

    Well, clearly you've never seen me bowl or golf ;-) . I assure you those were random events. I also list the probabilities so some folks can get them inside their heads as not everyone is good at visualizing odds (if they were there would be no state lottery ).

    Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

    assumign you have the basic emergency supplies, no one here is saying you are at home and ready for the zombie appocalypse. People can and do die of thirst in 3 days (or less). I live within an hour of the ocean. and there are tons of lakes near me.

    Zombie Outbreak - where to hide?

    How long do people envision buildings in "civilization" to be liveable. When the water goes off, you are dead in 3 days. When the power goes off, how are you going to see the zombies coming at night? The bigger the building the less vanatge points you have unless you are with a group. Power...

    So what's gold gonna be for?

    I've seen McGyver, Skully, TJ Hooker and the X-men all training long after they were beginners. Training turns up again and again in fiction. It's not a bad device but should never be used to hold PCs back.

    If we all rolled the normal way for stats, how come he has three 18's?

    18's arent' as rare as folks think they are really. any one roll has a 1 in 216 chance of being an 18. With six stats that means any one character has a 1 in 36 chance of having an 18 (if we are rolling 3d6 straigh out). Use d6 and drop the lowest and the chance of any one roll being an 18 is...
