    Do you give your players the exotic treasure or force them to make it?

    by "make it himself" I ment to imply that the weapon would be made in party... and such feats have never been taken in the games i've run (Indeed, I reworked the charged items creation feats just to make them more appealing). If I'm playing bob the fighter, and I cant talk the party wiz/cler...

    Do you give your players the exotic treasure or force them to make it?

    Enchanted weapons are so rare IMC that its unlikely that a given party will come across more then a handful during an entire campaign. As such, and since few people use the realy exotic weapons (chains, double axe/sword, ect) the chances of finding such a wep are nill. The only recorse such a...

    Weaknessess of Computer RPGs

    Even the best CRPGs will always come in second in my book... no computer game can EVER give the flexability that a tabletop game can give. The best computer RPG to date would have to be BG II and its expansion pack, which still lacks ture flexability. The fact is that computer games and...

    In Character Embezzlin` - Another Taboo?

    Well I realy dont see playing a character that would steal from the other PCs... realy, are they the sort of people a guy would want as enemies? I'd be more then willing to go along with a party where a member was secretly stealing, as long as it was understood that my character would act...

    You are the head of a major network: Firefly vs the new Battlestar Galactica

    Firefly, because Joss Wheton is a GOD. well, at least he writes some of the best dialogue on TV. FF is realy the only show I'm watching at the moment, everything else on is just crappy. I tried watching BSG, honestly I did, but the show just wore on me after a while... so I took a break...

    Which do you prefer out of a Level 1000 characther?

    some quick math and we learn that 6.59E26 gold pieces have the same mass as earth 2.195E32 gold pieces has the same mass as the sun if we assume that a star must be at least 20 times as massive as the sun to become a black hole we find that 4.390E33 gold pieces are needed to become a black...

    A scale for house rules

    I'm one who uses several "minor" house rules (as well as several major ones, but thats for another discussion). Dodge as a flat +1 to AC: most people forget to assign the modifire, this goes double for me as a DM (for my NPCs). Plus its makes the Dodge feat something useful to take, not just a...

    Would you hire this fool?

    Thanks for all your replies... I've edited my resume based on your advice. my overall GPA isnt very impressive (a rather sad 2.27/4.0). The resume I posted here is the general one I keep on my computer, when I apply to a specific job I modify it for that position (no position here so its just...

    Paladins and Good Aligned Folk In War - Are Orc Children Slain?

    that still leaves 33%. so go through the orc children and add two out of every threes head to the pole along with their parents.

    Paladins and Good Aligned Folk In War - Are Orc Children Slain?

    It would depend on the type of PC I was playing... but looking back over my PCs I doubt any of them would have killed the child. Some were kind hearted, and would probably have taken steps to help the child survive. Most would have viewed it as dishonorable to kill an unarmed creature...

    Paladins and Good Aligned Folk In War - Are Orc Children Slain?

    From a straight reading of the RAW thats the way it sounds to me. In my campaing all the mortal races (like orcs, humans, dwarves, goblins) have free will, they can chose their own path in life. Most orcs are not evil, they are certianly barbaric but that is cultural not "genetic". there is...

    Firefly

    Paladins and Good Aligned Folk In War - Are Orc Children Slain?

    Here is what the MM has to say on the subject of the word "Often" in relation to allignment "Often: The creature tends towards the given alignment, either by nature or nurture, but not strongly. A Plurality (40-50%) of indiciduals have the given alignment, but exceptions are common." That...

    Paladins and Good Aligned Folk In War - Are Orc Children Slain?

    Well I can only speak from my experience... I doubt very much that my players would go around knifing baby orcs through the throat, though I'll have to bring that up in a game to see what they would do... "you see an orc moving through the woods!" players cut the orc down "while searching...

    [Sept] What Are You Reading?

    I just finished reading the new Magic:tG novel "Ravnica"... and again I wonder why I keep buying those things... I'm currently rereading HPL's dream cycle stories, and will probably go back throgh REH's works for most of this month... either that or just dig down to the bottom of my library and...
