Hi Everyone, Just recently, when I come to the ENWorld messageboards, the background is all white and the text are plain blue hyperlinks. It doesn't stop me from browsing the forums, but the typical "black" style is much easier to read. Can anyone help me (i'm sure it's an IE setting, but I...

I've been a lurker for most of my days on these boards, and I remember Angelsboi's posts well. You will be missed, rest in peace. :(

Hi Everyone, This may be old news to some of you, but my friend just got me hooked on this pseudo-RPG (actually not an RPG at all) that runs in the background on your computer. It's called Progress Quest, and the longer you leave it running the more your character advances. You can run it...

Hi Everyone, I have two Win 2K domains (the older one which is basically used for Exchange and a few user accounts, and the newer one which holds the bulk of the network's info). Can anyone point me to a site that has some info on procedures for combining the two domains? I want the newer...

Technically, I received the offer from ACS Defense, which is being acquired by LM and renamed "Lockheed Martin Information Technology". To my knowledge, they are going to service LM (among other companies) as a consulting and outsourcing firm. If you go to their site http://www.acsdefense.com...

Hi Everyone, I recently received a great job offer from Lockheed Martin in Frostburg, Maryland. The possibility of my wife and I moving there is becoming more and more of a reality. However, I can't seem to find any information on the town other than demographic statistics. It's a very...

Hi Everyone, I'm a long-time fan of author Harlan Ellison and recently I was looking into buying an autographed manuscript of his off of EBay. As you can guess, I'm a little cautious about dropping money on something that's not authentic. Is anyone here a collector of autographs, or would...

Hi Everyone, A question came up in my group last session that I (as the DM) was unclear on. One of the players (a level 7 rogue), just took a druid level. The class description for the druid says that he/she is prohibited from wearing metal armor, and if it is worn the character cannot cast...

30 for me :)

Wooohoooo! What a great unexpected surprise! BFG, I sent you an email shortly ago, thanks for the contest! :D

Hi Everyone, I've never been to GenCon myself, but my group and I are planning to go in 2005 (I know, it's a long time away). Anyway, I was wondering what are the things that a first-timer should know before going. How far in advance should I book a hotel room? What are good things to...

Wallpaper - Windows XP Rolling Hills Screensaver - None :)

Thanks for the quick reply!

Hi Everyone, If a large creature were to use a tower shield, would all of the penalties and benefits affect them in the same way as a medium size creature, or would there be differences? I'm assuming it would be the same, but I wouldn't mind some confirmation. Thanks!

Actually, if you're looking to be thrifty about it, I believe DotEasy hosts your web space for free (but offers less extras) if you register your domain through them.

This may not work specifically for your campaign, but we had a problem with a TPK in one of our earlier sessions and altered the story as such: The PCs work for a small trading business and we found it very difficult to keep adding characters to replace deaths since the trading business was...

Point well taken. I have been known to give out roleplaying xp simply for entertaining encounters and effort put forth by the players to portray their characters. However, I must also say that I feel good about giving xp for those types of situations. When a player really does a good job at...

You hit the nail on the head. My sentiments exactly.

I won't argue that a PC death is hands down an effective way mathematically to bring XP down, I also have to say that it would not do my players or my conscience well. We always roll dice in open view of everyone else, so no fudging....and if a PC death does occur, it's usually because of bad...

Actually, we do a lot of role-playing, and last 7-hour session there were only three battles. Although I do give out just as much XP for roleplaying....maybe it's the sheer length of time we play that equates to the large XP. ::shrugs:: It's good to hear about the leveling slowing down. Even...
