My copies of the maps are sturdy ... lamination all of 'em ain't cheap, and they warned me the process might wrinkle something that large on thin paper, but the result is damn cool. My complaint with the maps, however, isn't the lack of color. It's that the pairings of maps. Maps 1 & 2...

Crothian, that's the sort of thing a wise man would only do for one reason ... ... to blame it on someone you don't like.

I've done some preliminary messing around with the new stat block, mostly in terms of converting pre-3e adventures into modern terms. (Just so ya know, leveled Yuan-Ti are a total pain in the posterior to convert. The base creature is more of a threat than it used to be, and levelling...

DonTadow does a good job of taking what's worthwhile in stevelabny's post and making it more diplomatic and useful. Raven, it does sound like you've wronged the type of person your group is, if not these particulars, in the past. But it also sounds like you're realizing it and doing...

These characters need to all join together into one adventuring party. There's a "let's write a bad module" thread around here for them to explore ...

I'm one of those with no desire to reproduce. And if I ever do, I'll have to negotiate with my future SO. I'm sure my first three suggestions would just be me joking around ... really bad jokes, to the point where I'm no longer elligible for consultation when I finally am serious.

I'm more bored by the "blast mage" than I am by any one spell they use. I'm playing a Mystic Theurge at the moment in a group that has a sorcerer, and I'm intentionally avoiding MM and such 'cause the sorcerer has the blasting all taken care of. Someone earlier mentioned the grease spell; last...

Here's another one I'm fond of. The title isn't one that makes the love song angle real obvious, so I reproduce the lyrics in this case. "Frozen Puck to the Head" by Captain Tractor (from the album "Bought the Farm") He played in the minors, he was a puck stop. One day he pulled into this...

Anyone watch "Gray's Anatomy" on ABC? Incorrect use of the phrase "begs the question" on a hit, mainstream, don't-these-shows-have-competent-editors major media outlet less than 24 hours after I complained about how frequently I'm seeing this. It felt better to see it done right in this...

Something I seem to run into on at least a weekly basis lately: people using the phrase "beg the question", and obviously not knowing what it means. If someone brings up a point that makes you wonder about something else, that "raises" the question you're about to ask. Or "brings" or "poses"...

Well, since Sniffles actually referred you to me ... I've pretty much had the same experience. I knew on Asian gamer, and the others have all been white ... some down right pale! Of course, Oregon's a fairly whitish state, even the cities. Every time I go to Harvey's Comedy Club and the have...

I've been keeping this thread in mind as I've listened to music over the past couple of days, just for you, Queen D; let me add Kate Bush's "Why Should I Love You?" and Sarah McLachlan's "Sweet Surrender" as notable, as well.

My favorite love song right now? "Before the Night is Over" by Gaelic Storm. Fusangite, looking for the stories from the bitterly single? Okay, how's this. A couple of years ago, I spent about eight months thinking that I was a potential to a really adorable young lady. Things like, for...

But again, the point is that nowadays, it seems, there are players out there who think they can tell DMs what is allowed and what isn't. Though I've said above that I run an old-fashioned game in terms of who's in charge, I do have a player I have to be a little stern with at times when, for...

Majoru, I think we're just about there. You've described to us how you set up your game. It's perfectly legitimate by the standards of , I think, everyone here that's been arguing the other side -- at least partially because we've been arguing the point that it's yours, you can do what you...

I join the Universe on the hatred of the refried bean. And that "Oh, you've just never had them made right, I make 'em this way, you'll love 'em" thing will never never never never never never never never never work on me again.

It is true that anyone can edit wikipedia, and you have to take that into account. But those books in the library and such ... yeah, anybody can do that, too. Same rule is applicable. Ann Coulter and Al Franken both have books, and they're even right there in the same section. Not much...

It isn't that DM's fun is less important or more important than player fun. But player fun is contingent on the DM running some kind of game, and most people (including from what I see, myself, RC and Chris) will fold a game they're running if they aren't having any fun, following KM's advice...

I've been checking this thread frequently, haven't posted to it in a while ... let's just say Raven CrowKing has saved me a great deal of typing. (Incidentally, RC, your "baker analogy" is called "Social Exchange Theory" by sociologists. It has a long and well respected history. In this...

There's a Conan story I read long ago, to the point I don't remember which one it is, but it has my all time favorite threat in it: "I'm going to rip your heart out and make you eat it before you die."
