    Who ELSE buys PDFs?

    I don't know anyone in my group who has bought PDF's either. I have bought a few myself though. Like some have stated above, I would never buy any PDF where I can get the actual book cheaper at Amazon. I'm really don't understand where WotC is trying to sell books like Complete Warrior for so...

    Lost 2/16/05 Spoilers!!!

    Crothian, it was Jacks father Sawyer spoke to in the bar. (from your response is sounds to me like maybe you didn't recognize him, or see the prior episode with him) I think what Fett was asking was did the writers make it too coincidental that Sawyer and Jacks dad would meet, or was it a good...

    Lost 2/16/05 Spoilers!!!

    I thought that took some kahones from the writers to have Sawyer kill an 'innocent' man. You don't often see main characters in mainstream TV do that, the tendency is that characters "do the right thing" in the end. They're really testing the bounds of the audiences sympathies for Sawyer. Is...

    Quick ASOIAF A Clash of Kings question (SPOILER)

    I'm afraid I have to chime in on the side of LP here. The characters of the novels are rich complex characters like a real people. Yes Tyrion is witty and sly, but not around his father. That is not a fault of the author, that simply IS Tyrions character. This is not an unusual flaw, and...

    Thanks for posting those spoilers Reveal. I wasn't interested in the adventure before, but your description makes it sound pretty fun. Edit: For $5 I couldn't resist, so just purchased it :cool:

    Rant - sort of.

    I wonder Michael, is there anything tying you down to where you are now? A change of scenery can sometimes do wonders.

    Healing too powerful?

    I agree that healing is too powerful, but the rest of the game is designed around the idea that it's available. If you get rid of it, you'll likely need to change to something like the Vitality / Wounds system in UA, to prevent people from waiting weeks after battles to recover. You may also...

    Why pride sucks, or "I should be happy to have a job at all."

    This has worked out well for me as well.

    Would you & your group roleplay on camera?

    I don't think anyone would be "offended" if it was brought up, but they wouldn't go for it. I think it's mostly about comfort. The group I play with knows eachother well, and I think everyone let's their guard down. We naturally flow back and forth from the game to off-topic goofing around...

    Roleplaying High Charisma?

    Inspired by the roleplaying Cha 4 thread, I wanted to ask how does your group handle playing characters with exceptionally high Charisma or social skills? Obviously the players charisma and fast-talk skills may not be up to snuff, so how do you work it? Any tricks other than just having the...

    Driving unreasonably fast (ticket rant)

    I had a couple tickets in the past, but it has been perhaps 8-10 years since the last. Haven't decided on what to do about this one. I might try and get some leniency like you say, to get it reduced or something. My frustrations are only that the speed limit is so unreasonably low that it...
