    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    eek There seems to be a time stamp issue. Trying to track it down - can anyone tell me if the timestamp from the previous post (by Aris Dragonborn) is 2:32am for anyone else? Thanks! Aaron edit - or this post as 8:24am for that matter

    When is an encounter 'beat'?

    Pc Thanks PC, that would be great! At aaronblairak at yahoo dot co dot uk, or geddak at gmail dot com. I started 3.5e by using XP I thought was roughly fair. More recently, in an effort to check out the 'formal' rules, I have been doing full XP calculations as noted in the DMG 3.5. And it...

    When is an encounter 'beat'?

    So, I've been gaming for 27 years, but only for a month with 3/3.5 edition. My players all want to play it, so I'm trying to give it a fair shake. Learning the rules and how things are moderated, etc. I came upon a situation that I'm not sure how the 'official' 3.5E rules would deal, and still...

    If DMing was a job, how much should you get paid?

    other A friend made a fantasy RPG, named Saga. Its still my favorite RPG of all time. A large part was the way he ran games. At one point I was making a lot of money, and he needed a place to stay, so I gave him a room in my house, paid all the house bills and for food, and paid him something...

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    Sounds good to me. Any plan sounds good :). Nightmare flashbacks to my first cdm - something happened to one of the judges or his connection or something, and it took like 2 weeks for a judgement. My wife watched me sit at the computers for hours a day hitting refresh. Twitch. Twitch. Yes, as...

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    Actually nice story NiTess. It flowed really well and was easy to read. My stories are always based around more abstract ideas (not sure if that is a good or bad thing), and it's almost impossible for me to judge the readability of my own work. Though as far as my head, I am still wearing the...

    Long Live the King? Long Live the King? Esid slowly ended his trance, ready for another day cycle. As always, his first cognizant feeling was one of loss and despair. Six years, and still the death of the King ached inside him. Esid began his daily ritual of brain-storming in the usual way -...

    reeeeeally "A story will be delivered, three days hence, accompanied by the severed heads of those who oppose me. On the noon of the third day, look to the north." I guess that would depend on ilands facing North now, wouldn't it? :) Luckily, I have a stick-collar neckgaurd of...

    sounds good That sounds like a good suggestion. I don't like 3-person rounds either, turth be told, but I was looking for ways to make sure the competition hapens. Your suggestion is better than any of mine I think. Glad you're doing the organization thing :). Aaron

    Ceramic DM -- Fall '06 ** yangnome wins! **

    bump So, one day to show time - contestant slots full, but we still need (2?) judges. We have 4 people competing who have offered to judge is necessary. So, as far as I can tell we need 2 more people to sign up - as contestants, or judges, or 1 of each, or whatever. Strange alternatives - 1...

    What the hell is THIS?!

    "Who are these people? I think you are inventing an enemy and a problem for the enemy to take hold of." Do you doubt the existence of the Commies? The Computer is your friend. You must be on the lookout for traitorous Commies everywhere! Seriously (kinda) there are people who like to find...

    Happy Free PDF Day!

    errata My pleasure, and thank you again. Though typos I noticed were just that, typographical errors. Nothing to do with stats (27 years of gaming, 1 month of it in 3/3.5..I don't catch stat errors on casual reading yet :)). I have been teaching English and translating/correcting written...

    Happy Free PDF Day!

    nice I just finished reading this, and I think it's a great little adventure. The extras (fluff, suggestions, etc) are stupendous! As a note, I noticed about a dozen typos while reading it. If you like, I can re-read it and note their locations for you. The least I can do for a free adventure...

    judges By the way, I've been pushing and prodding this because I want to compete. However. In the event that we are one judge short as of 12-24 hours before game time, switch me to a judge position (if I am worthy, of course). I would rather be a judge than it not happen at all. But please...

    signups Note that the competitor field is full, but there are occasionally issues that come up requiring people to drop out before round 1. If anyone else interested wants to sign-up as an alternative in that eventuality, it may help in such a case. Of course, Rodrigo is the arbitrator of this...
