Stupid Name. Strike One against it. I checked the site and it is stands right now, it is about as organized as a somebody learning XML would set up. Lack of coherent content. And what is with the alien brain theme? It is too adolescent to attract serious gamers (as it stands for right...

My god, that was priceless. I laughed so hard my co-workers thought I was going to stroke out.... :lol:

We are products of our societies. In western society, life is held in high regard, which is why murder is a heineous crime. But in other places in our world, life is not held in the same high regard, representing a different and contrasting mindset. And our world doesn't have monters. Think...

Hmmm. Some perspective is need here. People are superimposing real world economics into a fantasy world and are getting hot under the collar in the telling. There are no real elves, so attributing real world values to elves is not an answer. I could say that elves don't need as much food as...

Well, I declare you the King of Non-Sequitars. Non-sequitur logic. Being limited in level doesn't equate to being doomed. Again, non-sequitur. Rulership or political power isn't trump. Elves as CG are not big on structured government so consider that maybe they are just not interested in...

The mindset of elves... ok, then - this is a bone we can gnaw on together. Let's talk Faerun, since you seem to have a passing familarity with the game setting. 1. Elves in Faerun can have a very dark side when turned to war. Proof: The Crown Wars Therefore, the assumption must follow that...

"I reject your reality and substitute my own." --Adam, Mythbusters-- The above quote sums up my feelings. Many people have already articulated why your assertions are not factual and the flaws inherent in your arguments. What surprises me is why are we on this...

How long is the chain? That determines alot of what you asked. If the case has to hang from the chain because it is very short, then I woud say a -2 penalty for spell casting failure and a -1 to attack rolls and armor check penalties. If the chain is long enough that the case is stowed in a...

A long while back, I had a similar group that was tactically challenged. Just suboptimal decision making and poor choices. They got hammered time after time. Finally, I had enough and spoke with them at length after one particularly brutual session about tactics and decision making. Then...

I don't think a GenCon announcment will happen. WOTC has already gone on record that all future announcements for D&D will take place during D&D Experience (formerly Winter Fantasy). 4E was not announced in the past D&D Experience so I would be surprised at a GenCon announcement. Also, at...

Make them fliers for your campaign... or not as you like. It not like there are Monster Designer Nazis out there that are going to come to your house with a barrel of Kenku feathers and a bucket of hot tar to punish you for making them fliers.

If you are the DM, you can modify the effects of the spell as you please. Be aware of course that it is a very slippery slope because players, being the creative creatures they are, will ask for modifications to other spells and thus is the road to gaming hell paved... Also, if you use create...

Hmm. This thread (among others) has highlighted a trend. Namely, not dealing with the situation until the group implodes. I've seen threads over the years in which one disruptive player results in the group disbanding. Have DMs become so uncertain of themselves, so self-concious or so afraid...

In my campaign.... A foot note in history (he got permanently kacked by our group in a near epic campaign).

Using Tolkien's elves, I reject the notion that they were doomed. They were wise to understand that their time of dominance was at an end and chose to accept a diminished role (or no role at all) in Middle Earth. They chose to stand aside, not let history plow them under. All empires...

No. And I will not. I don't understand why people tolerate disruptive behavior at the game table, friend or not. I believe that frank discussion (not a argument or screaming match) is the solution to most problems at the game table and if a so called friend takes offence and stops the...

Most of my campaigns take place in the Realms but it isn't like I am married to it. I have been 'unfaithful' on occasion with dalances with the Midnight setting, Greyhawk, Eberron and Dragonlance. My current infidelity is 'War of the Burning Sky'.

Edena: Your suppositions have alot of non sequitur logic in it and you have arrived at a conclusion that is incorrect. Pacifism - One can be a pacifist and a skilled warrior at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive concepts. Pacifism is not echewing violence at any cost, pacifism is...

There is player 'expectations' and DM 'expectations'. Sometimes those expectations never converge, sometimes they converge and sometimes everyone thinks they converge. I think this is a case of the latter. What the players had in mind in regard to a journal (content, maintenance...

Xerboriand "The Keeper of Secrets" A reclusive middle-age human that looks far older, principally to his dependence upon a narcotic. He is unkempt and his clothes are frequently soiled and stained. A magical experiment gone awry has inflicted Xerboriand with an very unusual ability - when...
