    Hell. Yeah. Now THAT is a Story Hour!

    (4th IR) What does your character write?

    Hmmmm. Oh, the books! SOMEONE needs to counter the damn elvish propaganda. The Evil That Elves Do Racism in the Realms That'll be good enough of a start. By the time I'm done, no adventurer (except probably elvish ones, the self-righteous snots) will casually cut off the head of kobold...

    Revised PHB allows you to build stronger, more balanced characters?

    All PCs will start with +2 to strength and a +2 bonus to balance checks. What else could it mean?

    Whirlwind Great Cleave?

    Whatever. It's retarded. Regardless of whether or not it breaks the game, that's reason enough to nuke it. And I still say that getting triple or quadruple attacks against the Big Bad because there are rats nearby, or the Big Bad has a couple lackeys to his right and left is *mondo* retarded.

    Is atheism even possible?

    Wow . . . Of course. You've never heard of Secular Humanoidism? One of the characters in my campaign is a Xvart, and almost all xvarts are secular humanoidists. I can't believe you didn't know that. Cut and pasted from my Story Hour: The Secular Humanoidist Manifesto There's just one...

    "I Attack The Darkness!" (With a Dispel . . . paging Caliban!)

    Someone help me out here. Let's say that there's a standing area effect that I want to dispel -- Darkness, Solid Fog, Stinking Cloud, whatever. Let's say that I can't see the center of the spell (i.e., where it originated from), or perhaps I simply don't know exactly where it originated from...

    Whirlwind Great Cleave?

    I can't believe I'm being pulled into this moronic argument again. There is nothing in the feat that assumes the enemy is taking up a full square. And even if there was, it's still insanely good. A wiz can summon a bunch of lame-os and have them surround his buddy the fighter. The fighter will...

    What's the best size of a gaming group?

    For heavy RP/intrigue, I think three to four PCs is perfect. More than that and someone is inevitably getting bored out of their gourd. For combat-centric campaigns, four PCs are the absolute minimum -- five to six are best. Five is probably best, as it's difficult to get more than six people...

    Forrester's Against the Elves Campaign

    You forget the part about making them your stinky minions. By the way, you guys never purchased any 5th-level spell components in Gulg. Just a reminder.

    BlackRazor the Artifact

    I believe that unnamed bonuses from the exact same source generally do not stack. No reason you couldn't make it an exception in this case, of course.

    player killing?

    If you check out the Shinobi Killfist Story Hour . . . that is to say, the Knight of Ill Fortune, you'll see why Morrow calls it the Knights of Ill Fortune. Three TPKs in one session. Only three players, though, so ONLY nine character deaths. I'm currently shopping for a therapist who can...

    Forrester's Against the Elves Campaign

    After a week off . . . Just had another session last night. The death! The destruction! The carnage! Ah, truly beautiful, beautiful things. Unfortunately, none of those things actually happened. Stupid 5-hour library trips. At least I got some heavy librarian mockage in. (Is there anyone who...

    best game name?

    I hope it hasn't been used yet . . . Devil Bunny Needs A Ham.

    The Knights of Ill Fortune (or the Chronicles of Kale, Agent of the Empire)

    Yeah, this campaign clearly wasn't Shinobi friendly. Although in Shinobi's defense, he's not dead. He stabilized at -9 (and he was at -8 when he went down, right AFTER he made a tumble check of 25, CHARGED THROUGH a hostile opponent, and CRITTED the main big bad for 20pts of damage) and is now a...

    The Knights of Ill Fortune (or the Chronicles of Kale, Agent of the Empire)

    You just keep telling yourself that, if it'll make you feel better :p.

    The Knights of Ill Fortune (or the Chronicles of Kale, Agent of the Empire)

    TPK. TPK. TPK. That's not "TPK" repeated three times for effect. That's the term "TPK" being used three times in succession. I imagine that one of us will drum up a session report eventually. As soon as we stop weeping.

    Gaming stores in Boston?

    Actually, I've found the staff of YMG to generally be unhelpful. They often don't answer the phone during business hours (what's up with that?) and charge you to make local telephone calls while you're there, a practice I've NEVER seen at any other GS, much less a FLGS. It's a very MtG-heavy...
