    Bow and Arrow Stacking

    Okay. So, in other words, it's possible but it's cost prohibitive. Fair enough. -Ryan

    Bow and Arrow Stacking

    I realize that. Perhaps I'm not phrasing the question clearly enough, or not using the proper terms. Let's suppose there's an enchantment called "Elite", which carries an effective +5 bonus (maybe effective is not the right term, but I think you know what I mean). My character has an Elite...

    Bow and Arrow Stacking

    I was reading about the new rule in 3.5 that enhancement bonuses for bows and arrows no longer stack. Of course, different enchantments still stack, right (a flaming bow with shocking arrows gets +2D6 damage)? Does this mean that you can achieve a maximum effective enhancement of +20 with a...

    Golden Sun

    I cast Resurrect Thread! I'm about halfway through the first Golden Sun game (got in some good GBA time, courtesy of Tropical Storm Bill). I just wanted to confirm that it is indeed a fine little RPG. Side note: I started Skies of Arcadia Legends on the Gamecube, and it looks like it's going...

    Fireball - are effects 3 dimensional?

    I wouldn't go calling out the lynch mob so casually. To be honest, I thought that fireball was 2D for years until I was recently convinced otherwise. There's nothing in the PHB that very strongly states that it's 3D (the examples quoted above could easily be misinterpreted). I realize this...

    If someone at work sees your copy of [x-RPG product]...

    My boss used to play. He offered to let me borrow some of his old books. -Ryan

    Warcraft III

    I bought the game, but haven't really had much opportunity to play. I'd love to play with some guys from ENWorld. I suck, though. By that I mean, I sucked at Warcraft 2 no matter how hard I practiced. I've barely played Warcraft 3, so I no doubt suck beyond the currently accepted definition...

    Golden Sun

    I just wanted to see if any of you guys have opinions on the Golden Sun games. I've heard good things, and I'll probably be playing them soon. I also have a specific question... Is it important to play the original Golden Sun before the sequel? You see, I just bought a GBA. Idiot that I am...

    [OT, Bragging Rights] My daughters first Dance Recital

    Congratulations! It looks like she actually danced, which is an accomplishment. With the young kids, you sometimes get one that just stands there and cries. :) -Ryan

    Dragonlance

    To get back on topic... I loved the core Dragonlance books by Weis and Hickman. They're just plain excellent in a Harry-Potter-intended-for-a-less-mature-audience kind of way. Dragons of Summer Flame is still the only book to ever make me cry (okay, there was another, but I was young and...

    SPOILERS - ten more questions for A SONG OF ICE & FIRE fans

    I love these threads. 1. (recent DRAGON chapter) Crow's Eye claims his dragon horn will bend Danaerys' dragons to his will. Your thoughts on what might happen? I can't see anyone taking lasting control of Dany's dragons. She is the scion of Targaryen, after all! 2. (paperback ASOS preview...

    Zelda voted best game ever

    Madden 2003? How can any game that's part of a series of games, each only an incremental improvement over the last, be one of the top 5 best games of all time? Besides, I have Madden 2003, and it isn't that great. Zelda and Tetris I can agree with. What about Pac-man? That game was a...

    [GC] Ikaruga, you owe it to yourself to play this game

    Tell me about it. I now have four games that I need to complete before I can buy any new ones. I've been working in the same building for 2.5 years, and I just last week discovered that there's an EB right next door. I've been buying too many games. What can I say? They actually had a copy...

    [OT] What does a contractor have to pay?

    Do you have to pay Social Security? Hope I don't get arrested for posting this. :) Seriously, I worked as an independent contractor for a few years in IT. The company I was contracting for 1099'd me to the state and feds so I just filed my taxes normally based on the 1099 rather than a W2...

    [GC] Ikaruga, you owe it to yourself to play this game

    Not another Gamecube game that I'll have to buy. There are just too many good games coming out lately. -Ryan

    [OT] Finally.. the evil of SPAM is being defeated!

    Junk mail actually saves you money by subsidizing the cost of postage, so I don't mind it. Except the ones that are cleverly disguised to look like something from the IRS, thus tricking me into wasting my time opening them. There is special level of hell reserved for telemarketers. I have...

    SNES Zelda comercial (this is hilarious)

    I am less a man for having seen that.

    Are PrC's too powerful?

    Thank you to the previous poster who said (paraphrasing) that it's not the concept of prestige classes that's flawed, nor is it the classes themselves. The problem is in the way some people interpret prestige classes. I think that sums up my feelings nicely. Even if the classes themselves are...

    Lisp or Ocaml?

    I don't know Ocaml, so I have to go with Scheme. -Ryan
