    You Bash the Balrog ...

    Well, I'd let people trade a +1 to hit for a +1 to damage (+2 with a two handed weapon), provided they have a fe... oh wait. That's a core rule already. :p

    A competition for free CS accounts!

    Hey, Tinner got me as well! I'm so cool! :cool:

    You too can be a D&D developer!

    In addition to everything that has already been said, I think that Arcane Defiance would need to have the stat requirement removed. It makes the feat mostly only available to Wizards, but there is no reason not to make it available to Sorcerers as well. Making it available to divine...

    What are your views of D6?

    Nah. I for one agree with you.

    Is piracy a serious issue for game developers?

    Hong? Arrr! Long time no see, matey! :cool:

    Party goes after tough opponets with eyes wide open...

    I let them do what they want, but I'll scatter some hints in their way about the power of their enemies. To be honest, most of my encounters are a few CRs above the party level. I don't like having tons of boring fights; I much prefer one or two really exciting combats per session. In my...

    You crack open the beholder and find scrolls.

    Isn't there a Book of Vile Darkness spell that lets you replace your eye with one from a beholder? And there is a spellcasting base class in the Book of Erotic Fantasy which uses Comeliness as its spellcasting stat... hmm... with a bit of spell research, you could say that "the beholder lies in...

    How Big can a bow go?

    The way I've always interpreted weapon sizes, the reason for which you can't use a Huge greatsword even if you've got a 32 Strength is one of mass. Regardless of your magically-enhanced Strength, you can't use a Huge greatsword because, well, the sword would swing you. I know that you can carry...

    A Review of 6E

    Enough talk about D&D. I've heard that the plot for "D&D VII: The Outsider [Evil] Could" is about Damodar who, guess what, finds a magic thingy that controls dragons and must be stopped by a party of seemingly randomly-selected adventurers. Yeah, I know that he got killed "for good" in the...

    To all the Boy Scouts: What can you do with rope?

    Depending on what it's made of, you could smoke it. :cool:

    Your Gas Price

    Eek. To me, 12 hours of driving means that I'd traverse the whole country and pass within a couple hundred kilometers of something like one sixth of mankind's works of art, several pretty good mountains and beaches, and everyone in my family that I know. And that's just going southwards. Europe...

    Death to the Games Industry, Long live Games

    100% true. Back when I started learning computer programming, I dreamed of making videogames. At some point during my university years, it became quite clear that it wouldn't have been a good idea. You can get hired by a big company, work twice the hours of your traditional IT job, get paid...

    Your Gas Price

    I'm not well updated on either gasoline prices or the €/$ change, but I reckon it should be the equivalent of about 5.5$.

    Outrage at prices

    Sometimes I want the product, but for less than what they are charging. Sometimes I generally feel that the product is overpriced. Sometimes I'd like the product in a different format. But those times, I don't get excited. I just don't buy the product. I don't feel the need to get angry and...

    How far away can you see a Volcano?

    Usually, the air's opacity will hide it before it falls below the horizon, even on a fairly clear day in most climates. Maybe in a desert this wouldn't be true, I don't know.

    [rant] Something I realized about the d20 system...

    That ain't high skill, that's a superpower. Crafting advanced tech armor from nothing with d20 Craft rules would take weeks even to an Epic crafter, and IRL would be outright impossible regardless of technical knowledge. I still think that some kind of custom PrC or overpowered template (with...

    Core Books vs. Expanded Universe Books

    Yep. People use books that add new races, and then complain that there are too many races. People are weird sometimes. However, for some players the PHB races are already too many. By default, when I think about D&D, I think about books that are published by WotC and are not setting-specific...

    Which monsters (or closely related groups of monsters) make the best campaign theme?

    I'm partial to fiends myself. They span the whole range of CRs from Cultist Lackey to Asmodeus. They have powerful casters, sneaky types, and melee monsters. They have weaknesses for the PCs to discover and exploit, and they have motivations as complex as you can imagine. And they come in...
