    So what goodness did you GIVE for Christmas?

    Hearing what everybody got was awesome, and I'm still giggling over my swag (Stephan Lynch CD in the player now!). But what were some of the things you're really pleased about giving this year? My dad got coco mix and coffee. I work at a coffee house, so it was easy, but he loves Columbian...

    Warrior Kill Lists

    In our game, the DM gives out stickers for things we've killed. Mostly little stars. I counted over 50 stickers last night. Good times. I give out stickers, too, cuz I think it's fun. The only other person in the group that's actually DMed for any length of time considers it beneath his...

    Rogue Sneak Attacks

    1) Remember that not every attack is likely to hit every round. You'll have some opponents with high ACs that the rogue can't hit all the time. 2) Sprinkle in some bad guys immune to sneak attack. Not so many as to make the player feel his character is being thwarted, but enough to even...

    Different take on Character Wealth

    If you're newish to DMing, I suggest starting a litle bit lower level. My favorite is three. Low enough that there isn't too much in the way of abilities and whatnots to wrangle, yet high enough that the PCs don't keel over if you look at them too hard. As for treasure, I wouldn't reccommend...

    Are gold coins universal?

    Like many others that have responded here, gold is worth the same everywhere, but different countries would mint different-looking coins. I have included different nations' currency in treasure hoards as plot bits before (though it was actually a red herring) and plan to do so again in the...

    Speak Language

    And don't forget (just in case someone has a blank moment and forgets) that you get all your racial auto languages, and a bonus language for each bonus point of INT.

    "Its a bowling ball" "It say's Homer"

    Closest I've ever come is convincing my mom to give my dad the food dehydrator he wanted because I wanted to make jerky and dried strawberries. My dad once gave me a keyboard because he wanted to play with it. But I'd mentioned in passing that I'd like it, so it's not so bad

    Favorite Half-Orc One Liner's

    "Ohg have an innate distrust of incoporeal surfaces..." After having to flee across an invisible bridge across a chasm to submit to the railroad. Everybody looked at him in shock. Ohg had an average int but a 6 cha. He's not stupid, but inarticulate. so he talked very roughly, but would...

    OotS and 8-Bit Theater -- any others in the same vein?

    http://www.closetgamers.com/comic.php Closet Gamers is fabulous. Stories are funny and the art is very good. Only bad thing is that in terms of updating, "sporadic" is generous.

    Food question

    True, true. Honey should never be fed to babies. To be safe, don't give it to them until they're two. Another thing is yogurt. The active cultures in yogurt are very good for adults, but can be bad for babies.

    "It's a Trap! Do Not Enter!"

    I've got a dungeon where the hallways loop around one another. one of them has two doors, about ten feet apart in the five foot wide hallway. The party comes to the first door. It has a sign that says "Do not enter." the party, of course, opens the door, getting sprayed by the flaming hands...

    Powdered Milk - Yum! (Or, what is your favorite weird drink?)

    I work in a coffeehouse, and I love Chai Tea Lattes (or I did until we switched from that most blessed mixture, Oregon Chai, to a house formula). I like it best with a touch of chocolate and a touch of mint, topped with whipped cream. Its not really very strange, and everyone I've fed it to...

    Food question

    Honey is actually so un-spoilable that you can use it to dress wounds. Just dab on some honey and cover with a clean bandage. It won't allow for bacteria (infection) because it's so dry, and it will also pull the moisture out of the wound, so it heals more cleanly.

    How long was your Multi-multi class char?

    For a one shot, two guys in my group decided to have prestige class wars, and see who could come up with the most PrCs for a 20th level character. One guy managed nine. He was the loser. The winner had fourteen prestige classes, and still managed to live longer than anyone else, during the...

    The Perfect Cookie

    Ohhh, cookies, how I love thee... I think warm, gooey chocolate chip are the best. With cold milk. But I also love... Thin mints, frozen or not. Tagalongs. Better thawed, but can be eaten frozen for the impatient. Christmas cookies are delicious, though I never think to make them outside...
