I tell the involved players to figure out what's missing, and then proceed with the game making a point not to pay much attention. Usually, they'll end up with less stuff than what they lost. They know that I know, and they know that while officially I'm not bothered much by cheaters, characters...

Unfortunately, I didn't play StS. I do know that I spelled what I spelled the way I meant to, though. :cool:

Not a problem. All my characters have high Tumble. :cool: That way, I can get past Santa and kill the puppies myself. :]

I'll wait on the off-chance that we Italians get a theatrical release. I like seeing stuff on the big screen. Then I'll get an English copy somehow. I want to see them both and compare. The first movie was markedly improved by the dubbing process (esp. Jeremy Irons; apparently the dubbers...

All the hardest projects I've worked on involved a whole bunch of dealing with other people. Sometimes, that's exactly where the hard part was. The projects I do alone are the easy, small ones, or those where I happen to have a good, detailed and reliable specification (never happens). For all...

*Ahem* As supporter of the Campaign For Equal Rites, I politely suggest that the crude term "undead" be abandoned in favor of the more politically correct "differently alive". The Silent Majority of the vitally challenged can't tolerate these slurs any more.

Actually, I think it's a herd of tarrasques. And a swarm of advanced paragon chasme barbarians 15th.

They always come up, if by "coming up" you also include "changing your strategy in order to avoid an AoO". Usually, AoOs actually happen when Large creatures are involved.

What's wrong with giving her a seriously-overpowered template? Having ultra-high tech items does make you seriously more powerful than anyone else.

A Vrock Barbarian 1st/Fighter 2nd, or Fighter 1st/Barbarian 2nd depending on whether you prefer uncanny dodge or an extra feat. Medium armor, optionally a weapon. Quicken spell-like ability (mirror image) as its 12th HD feat. If the cleric has used dismissal in the past against this...

I've found that - for me - actually playing older D&D editions is a good way to kill off nostalgia before character generation is even over. Great games, but I wouldn't go back to them. No, the freakish bit is that he's played Planescape for half as long as me, and is twice as good at it. :D...

I've never been bothered by you at all - though maybe I wasn't in the right threads? I found the pictures funny, though they did tend to confuse threads a bit. ;)

Simple. I want to see the heat death of the universe. Failing that, at least I'd like to see the sun explode. ...hey, depending on estimates, between 10% and 50% of all human beings that ever existed have never died. So I've got relatively good chances. :D

I haven't played many modules, and I've been quite careful to pick those that felt good. The worst one was a Vecna Reborn converted to 3e, which went pretty much this way. Appear in city A. Meet guy, who on a metagame level we knew to be trouble but had no reason IC to worry much about. Travel...

Damn. Why is he butchering the classics and making tolerable movies out of little-known games? :(

Wait, I've got it. You've got to use kender. Think about it. It's a win-win situation!

See? I didn't, in fact, RC. :D Right. Sentience appeared by chance. If we survive the next big asteroid impact, Shag was right, in a metaphorical way. In the same sense that "hawks evolved good eyes to better spot their prey" - yeah, it's reversing cause and effect, but the relation is there. If...

A gray bag of tricks only costs 900 gold, and the animal will do practically whatever you say. They are summoned, so they don't actually die and you won't have troubles with the ... fantasy PETA or whatever. I would only use pigs if I couldn't afford at least one bag.

IIRC - and I'm not quite sure that I, in fact, RC - one of the problems with the start of life is that the estimates for the time it takes for a simple organism to pop out of an inorganic primordial soup by chance are on the order of a few billions years. If life started 3 billions years ago...

I wrote a small program which displayed one randomly shifting color on the screen, and connected it to a big TV. I turned off the lights, making the TV the only source of light and bathing the room in shifting color. The party was talking to Demogorgon, and I intended to have the archfiend...
