Betty White, of course. She is one bad mammajamma :)

Oh cool, thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to picking up a few of those novels.

Well, I enjoy the reboot. I'm glad things were shaken up. It left a freshness to the realms that I really enjoy. I have not yet read any of the 4e FR novels, but I'm looking forward to it.

I've got a few quick misc. questions about Companion Characters. I know they can't benefit magic weapons/armor bonuses, but if they drink a healing potion, does it work? Can they apply chemicals (like frost) to a weapons? Do Companion Characters get a Second Wind? Thanks in advance for...

A line like that would work great for a bear, but I have a feeling the party's Minotaur would be displeased. :p [Nostrils flaring with indignation] :lol:

I'm glad to see a news source reflecting on roleplaying games in a positive light (that's a refreshing change :)). I never inserted on URL into a post before, but I'll give it a try. Hopefully I did this right... Role-playing games pull reluctant school kids into a supportive crowd / The...

I'm probably in the minority, but I never really liked meat-grinders much. I prefer challenging adventures with no insta-kill encounters. I understand why they are enjoyed by others, but they are just not my cup of tea.

Wish I would have played that three-part superadventure that started with Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave. Fail: Not an adventure itself--Iuz the Evil. Back in the day, I purchased a copy on eBay for over $100.00...I wanted it bad. While an excellent supplement, my adventure idea flopped...

Thanks for the replies :) I think I've stumbled on an idea that might work well for me, so I'll share it. I like to give players who put points into 'non-combat' skills (like history, diplomacy, etc.) a chance to shine. Perhaps I can come up with skill challenges to address the problem. It...

Very helpful...thank you! :)

Hum, last month...kinda slow. Too much Peggle (yes, please someone...take me out in the field and shoot me) :p D&D 4e, of course World of Warcraft...been playing less of this lately and more of D&D

One particular issue I've been struggling with is how to handle city encounters when the party contains a wild animal, fire beetle (heh), Drow, or some other creature that common folk would find undesirable, especially around the kids. Of course, Winterhaven and Fallcrest might view the same...

I'm not sure who has already been covered?? I saw an article on Sehanine. I'd like to see Avandra next. Anyone have a list of who has already been covered?

Great idea with the dots. What I've been doing is making a little mark in my books where errata applies. That way, I know when to look up an errata if needed. I do hope we'll see some kind reprinting of the rules with the errata included (not all the books, just the core). I've seen mention...

I've pondered more... At lower levels, I do tend to let the dice fall where they may and let them die. But a higher levels, I like to shake things up a little. In some situations, I like to have the 'bad guy' keep players alive for his own villianous purposes: Using them as bargaining chips...

I simply remark 'you rolled poorly' and let them die. That's little tradition I have going doesn't seem to bother my players at all. They just whip up the character generator to roll up a friend or brother...eager for revenge. Success is sweeter when you have risked your own hide in the...

I setup XP awards while designing or preparing an adventure. If they flee an encounter, I don't award the XP...at least until they recover and go back to finish the job. If they never go back, they simply move on to something else and earn XP from some other encounters. XP is the primary...

Wow, that is awesome. I actually felt a little dizzy imagining the scene. Sounds like your player might need to invest in a good quality eye-patch :)

Yes, I want to thank you as well. I certainly appreciate your time and energy. I visit ENWorld often for news and interaction with other gamers. You have done a terrific job maintaining this site. Again- Thank you! :)

I suppose it depends on how successfully table top vendors can bring new players into the community. I know WotC appears to be trying this with the upcoming Essentials line of products. With the rise of online gaming (I'm looking at you WoW), getting new players is the key to keeping the hobby...
