I agree with that. I almost never go to the theater anymore. the only time I go is if the big screen would make a difference in the experience (as someone else said). Plus if you wait a while to see a move after it comes out you not only get to read critical reviews, you also get to read...

Nazism is more than just genocide. Telling people there is a threat, and the only way to be safe from that threat is to give up their rights is a very slippery slope for any society to go down. Assuming that the government knows best how to protect you, and that it is justified in violating...

I like British phrases. "Bloody" is a common one that seems to be as versatile as the F word, but more acceptable. I want to know what "Sod Off" means. I hear it on British shows, and it seems to really offend the target person. It usually ends most conversations. Sorta like: Power Word...

Note that there was a bomb scare on a bus in NY a few days ago. There were a few young men on the bus with "mysterious bulges in their pockets." The police were called and they searched EVERYONE on the bus, not just the guys with bulging pockets. I'm all for stopping lunatic bombers, but I...

Though not exclusively Hawaiian, The Bane Ledger and the Bane Ledger II both have some Polynesian monsters in them. Arms and Armor of the Stone Age features some weapons and armor from Polynesia.

I remember someone doing that in my games. :) 23. All new characters started at 1st level. 24. Balance?? WTF? 1st level characters adventured with 8th level characters, and they liked it!

We're still around and about to release the Sentinel.

Cool. It pays to be a gamer. :D

I like enchantment and evocation, but if I had to pick one, it would be transmutation. Its the largest school and has a lot of versatility.

This early after an incident, its hard to know what really happened. I was watching the news just minutes ago and its a lot of unconfirmed reports and rumors. A lot of people saying "we can't really tell you much right now." Supposedly, a small group of armed police has run into a nearby...

I've been dreaming of that day too.

When I had this problem a few years ago, I left my first group and joined another group. In that group I found a few choice players that i really liked. I then got back in contact with a few of my favorite players from the original group and we all got together and made a sort of "super group."...

Yeah, bigger groups and multiple PCs per player were more common back in the day. The first group I joined had 7 players and all of them had at least 2 characters.

Glenshadow: Not one of my characters, but one I DMed for several years. He was at times NE, CG, and CE. He’s the central character to my homebrew. He’s a human wizard with a very high Intelligence, Charisma and Dexterity. His entire life has been played out in the game sessions. We’ve covered...

I've used them before, a few times. I always want to run an encounter with them where the players have to outsmart the ettin by playing one head against the other. The players never seem interested in that, though. THey always either run away or try to kill it. They are not interested in playing...

nope. I've been in plenty of fights, but I always saw them coming, and it was always 1 on 1. i've never been "jumped." by a group of guys. Of course I have lived most of my life in the country too. Nashville is the biggest city I've ever seen, and I've lived on the outskirts of it for a...

Absolutely. I'd rather have the government mucking it up than the way things are now.... and I hate big government. Dysfunctional families are the number one cause of our social problems.

Man, I live in the US and that's never happened to me. That's why you shoot back.

I draw the main land masses by hand. I use pregenerated city and town maps, though sometimes i draw my own towns as well. I've got a fat folder of maps that I've photocopied from old modules and gaming books that I use for most cities and large towns.

The last time I checked, the poverty line in America was an average of about $19,000 a year. Over the past few years I've been well above that line a few times, and well below it a few times. I can tell you that that makes all the difference. The difference between making $20,000/year and...
