A most wonderful day to all the mothers! I am not a mom, but I have one, and I'm quite keen on her. And the couple in my gaming group had their baby just last night, so she can celebrate her first mother's day properly. Huzzah for mothers!

The bird appears to be hopping around spunkily, so it's entirely possible that just putting it out of reach of immediate danger will be enough to give it a chance. Its parents can continue to feed it until it's fledged. Baby birds do sometimes take little fights before they're ready, and if...

Interesting tidbit that may or may not be a clue: The word for lady parts is derived from the word for sheath, so the similarity is not a coincidence.

That would be Cooperative Dungeon Four, the Tomb of Chaos. I was an editor on that one, and wrote some of the adventure hooks. Sigh. Good times. It's a pretty good dungeon, though kind of insular. I don't know that I'd write a whole campaign around it. I like gnolls because there are so...

In the same vein as shadows, I have much love for the Joystealers from MMIV. All the goodness of touch attacks and incorporealness, the cleric can't turn em, and you'd best believe that the big burly fighter goes down a lot faster when you start sucking his cha.

Update! The scenario ran last night. Based on the suggestions above, I went with a pair of medusa rogues with silence cast before entering through the windows. I had mixed results. The fight was set up quite beautifully, and they easily got the drop on the PC int he first room. He very...

I'd say they'd be good mental sitters, but not physical ones. They may be smart enough to mind the baby and instruct the child, but if the kid is intent on mischief, you need a sitter that is physically capable of making the kid mind.

Steak for me, followed by brats and bbq chicken. On the latter I like a good amount of char from half-burned sauce. (Original recipe open pit. I'm a simple girl.)

I figure that this money is a windfall and I don't have to feel bad about spending it on stuff for me. So it's going in the Fun Fund, along with Christmas gift money and the change from the tip jar. It'll be the money I spend on the convention I'm a guest at in May, the cost of the T shirts my...

Here's hoping this isn't too tangenty... One of the reasons that I never use published adventures is that they all seem to either have too many details that don't jive with whatever campaign I'm running, or it's just not written for my party: I have six PCs, not four. These adventure's great...

My players stay out! I need to find or find a way to create an effective poison. Assassins may be coming after the party in the very near future, but I don't like the idea of PCs being killed in their sleep. Seems a trifle cheap. The people coming after them wouldn't be adverse to...

One question that has not been addressed is exactly why atonement and loss of powers is coming into it. Clerics are not paladins. They do not have a code of conduct. The only rules-based punishment that I can think of is saying that his alignment has slipped to LE and he can't worship his God...

"Listen, Bard Dude. I like you. You're a cool guy. I want you to play and have fun in our game. I want Mrs Bard Dude to play and have fun in our game. Thing is, I can't do what you want to Cleric dude. Making him less good at what he can do makes HIM have less fun, and I know you don't...

In my group there is rarely any actual in character talking during combat, but there is a fair amount of tactical discussion. Things like go this way instead of that, then I can get flanking. Center the fireball here so it misses everyone but the bad guys. X isn't working, try Y instead...

Yaaaay, baby!

When creating my calendar, I wanted very simple, and very close to our real calendar, so it would be easy to remember. One of my DM's has a calendar with I dont know how many months, five day weeks and 30 hour days, and it's very confusing to remember it all. I have a very regular lunar...

Dove is my favorite brand of chocolate. The cadbury eggs are a little too sweet and rich for me. But give me a dove truffle egg....yum.

One of the other side affects is that feed corn for stock becomes more expensive. Many of you may have noticed milk becoming more expensive. My company had to raise the prices of our drinks (coffeeshop) to counteract the rising price we pay for our dairy and the fuel for all the delivery trucks.

I saw it. Very clear here, as well, and it looked so cool.

Middle of the road for me. I'm in two groups. In one I DM about 50% of the time, rotating back and forth between myself and another DM. In the other I play the vast majority of the time. In that game there is one primary DM who occasionally takes breaks from the main campaign to run...
