My bad blood comes from losing access without notice to about a dozen characters that I don't know if I can find hardcopies of. I gladly would have used a similar service if WotC had provided it, but WotC didn't for almost 8 months after launch even though they advertised (falsely) that it was...

This may have been why he was out of the country. Ema's was based out of Italy.

Someone probably got upset that a single fan managed to produce something useful in a small fraction of the time it took WotC to get anything up even with the massive head start WotC's internal development should have had. If WotC would have had their stuff together at launch time, there really...

True, but a "silly" name is not the same as a "silly" character or "silly" behavior. I've met and aggressive rottwieler named "Princess". It is a silly name. It was not a silly dog. The name certainly didn't make interactions with the dog silly. In real life, what about "Rosey" Grier? Rosey...

I didn't get the impression that the OP was trying to introduce a silly character, nor having the animals do anything disruptive or over the top, just giving some light-hearted names to the character's pets. To me the names sounded like terms of endearment and affection, not an attempt at...

This is closer to my experience too. Three characters that I've seen in games that stand out: I had a mid-to-upper-teens duskblade that was a nightmare to track. He had the feat to allow him to burn spells for +1 to hit and +1d4 to damage per spell level, made frequent use of power attack at...

I just noticed the new headlines in my feed reader. Thanks Morrus! :)

I thought Warlock Curse and Hunter's Quarry were the same damage, +1d6 per tier, once per round?

If someone is trying to hack them, I really doubt they would be trying to pull the DDI content from the site. What they would be after is the subscriber information, particularly the identity and credit card information. A company with a poor track record with digital products would probably be...

They did the same thing with Keep on the Shadowfell. They even included a nice message stating that no part of the book could be reproduced, so you weren't even allowed to photocopy the character sheets. They eventually released them online as PDFs, but it took them a while after the release...

Agreed. The times I've been in sandbox style games that started to fall into analysis paralysis, it was because we were beginning to feel that every decision was a wrong decision, or because the consequences of failure were completely out of scale. Accept a commission to retrieve the Chalice...

I'd like to see a PnP version of Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa. I think the setting would have huge potential if you could decouple it from the MMO environment. Things like in the MMO, your class limits which logos (sort of sci-fi magic runes, left behind by a race of ancients) you can use...

In general our group doesn't use save points, but on occasion they will get a completely wild and outrageous idea that has no chance of succeeding (and they know it) but would be a complete blast to play, so they ask for a save game. What we effectively do is play out the idea as a "dream...

I'm getting errors on my RSS subscription to General RPG Discussion (http://www.enworld.org/forum/external.php?forumids=2). From what I can tell from my RSS Reader, this has been happening since about Nov 13th. The error is: Database error The EN World D&D / RPG News database has encountered...

I wonder what if any impact this will have on the Savage Worlds based Pirates of the Spanish Main RPG?

Scott, Could you post the contact info for CS? Normally I would go to the Wizards site to get the contact info, but since the site is down I have no way to get the contact info to report that the site is down. It's kinda like that number the phone company gives to call if your phone doesn't...

I'm still getting the 500 error too. As someone who develops web applications for a living, a default 500 server error is one of those things you never want to intentionally send to your clients/customers. If the site is going to be down for maintenance, you put up a page to that effect...

With an Int 14, how could a Vrock be dumb enough to fall for the "playing dead" bluff without seeing something actually injure the character? I could buy (and would allow as a GM) making the bluff as a free action response to the last hit that landed, but waiting until your turn to fall over...

I found a game on RPG Now called Mythic that is designed to allow no-GM play using what they call a "Game Master Emulator", either with their system or as an add on to other RPG systems (they offer the Game Master Emulator separately in case you don't want their system). From what I can tell...

I really wish that was always the case, but it is reported that the Israeli Defense Force screens recruits to determine if they are role players, and if they are, sends them for a psych eval because they consider participating in role playing games in indicator of a weak personality or a...
