    The Head of Vecna, revisited ...

    I love it when characters 'hoise themselves on their own petard'. Pure entertainment for the DM. **evil DM laugh** :]

    Journey to The Rock - your experiences?

    It sucked. Badly, even by the standards of the day.

    Savage Tide Conversion Notes for FR Eberron!

    You, sir, are quite the cheeky fellow :p ;)

    Is this fair?

    The poll begs the question - is this about what the DM and DM fiat allows in regards to characters or is it more properly a question of what should happen to your character when someone is playing that character and makes certain decisions that is not consistent with what you feel your character...

    Looking for info about Yaravindar Ipurnos

    He was apprenticed to Ondbiras. Ondbiras doesn't ring a bell with me as I don't recognize the name so I don't think he was one of the Imaskari elite. Correction of my previous post. The site was a 'safe' house during the fall of Imaskar and Yaravindar constructed the Violet Spire using...

    Looking for info about Yaravindar Ipurnos

    Not really much on him. I don't have the magazine in front of me but what I recall is as follows. His origins are from the time of the Imaskari Empire. He was used life extending magics to remain alive to the present time. He was the apprentice of (don't recall name) who teleport himself and...

    Richard Garfield on Luck

    Yes but not for the reasons stated. Any sport or game favors those who are intimately familiar with the rules and tropes of that game and new players or dabblers are at a disadvantage because of unfamiliarity. Take Magic the Gathering. I can give a tournament level deck that wins most of the...

    The dumbest place you have seen a trap.

    I sure have. In one long ago campaign, we entered a abandoned dwarven hold that was now a monster infested dungeon. The third room in was a lever with no signs of its intention. After much debate, the party decided to throw the lever and see what happens. Only to collapse the entire...

    Winnipeg Gameday Session Sign-up Thread - GAMEDAY REACTIONS? COME SHARE!

    I regretfully have to give a pass on the game day. There has been some developments recently that changed my plans so I will be not be in Winnipeg that weekend like I planned. I was looking forward to participating and I am bummed out that I can't make it. Hopefully, it will be a smash...

    War of the Burning Sky, an E.N. Publishing Campaign Saga

    **raises hand to ask question** Will the campaign saga require or utilize material outside of core (like Heroes of Battle, etc) or will the core books be sufficent to run the entire saga?

    Erik Mona's secret project revealed yet?

    You bet! I still have a barrel of tar and a mattress of chicken feathers and a rusty old length of railroad rail sit sitting in my garage for the 'tar and feather' party that was planned for those guilty.... :lol:

    Winnipeg Gameday - Come Sign Up!

    Welcome The Beer Baron. Threads on ENWorld can sink to another page rather quickly and get missed in all the traffic. All it takes is a thread 'bump' by posting to get it near the top of the stack again. Real life as intruded and I will have to give the game day a pass this go around. Really...

    Dwarven Profanity

    In my campaign, the players who like playing dwarves didn't like that very little was written on the dwarven language so we use Klingon as the dwarvish language. It has worked wonderfully with characters having fun with Klingon phrases and some can even talk conversationally in a limited...

    Get ready to defend your hobby again...

    Should be interesting to follow the trial on TV and see if what comes of the D&D connection. Maybe Jack Chick or the person who started Mad About Dungeons and Dragons will be subject matter experts for the prosecution. :lol:

    Need help with Tashara of the Seven Skulls

    If anyone feels like sharing, I've been looking for information on Tashara of the Seven Skulls as well. Damn near impossible to find Dragon 206 since Paizo says they are out of stock and no PDF available (supposedly, Paizo can make PDFs of past Dragon/Dungeon magazines when all hard copies...

    Why I don't play D&D anymore

    I will agree with the statement. But the DM is a large part of the checks and balances. The DM can set the tempo such that the most munched out character is challenged, even if very little encounters occur. For example - let's use the psion. Strong with few encounters per day. This is some...

    Spellbinding: Magic technique used anywhere?

    In FR, the Witches of Rashemen and the Red Wizards can use Circle Magic (a form of cooperative magic). Building Mythals and other instances of Elven High Magic and Epic Magic also are forms of cooperative magic (also found in various FR sourcebooks). So instances of cooperative or...
