    Pinnacle's Forgotten Forge

    Alex decides that in his current mood, if a fight is in the offing, he doesn't want to miss it. He's not sure what's going on exactly, but he figures he can probably find an opportunity to take out his frustrations on someone. "Right then.", he says, and pulls his chain from within his enormous...

    Pinnacle's Forgotten Forge

    Alex was wandering the streets in a bit of a daze, but looks up sharply at the woman's shout, years of life on the streets sending adrenaline into his system instantly, and he follows her gaze to attempt to assess the situation.

    Laptops at the Gaming table: worth it?

    I have a tablet, so I'd be using it for my character sheets even... And yeah, the SRD, pdf books with SEARCH (Sooo much better than looking at a stack of 50 books and thinking, "So... which book was that in..."), excel spreadsheets... Even as a player spreadsheets can be awesome for maintaining...

    Pinnacle's Forgotten Forge, etc. OoC

    Yay! Funny how enworld decided to go down on the evening we were going to start play. I think it's a conspiracy! But obviously it was foiled by a dark lantern...

    Pinnacle's FF, etc - Rogues' Gallery

    Yeah, I'm not seeing how the type of computer you have is affecting it... If you're using an odd browser that doesn't support the drop down menus, just type out the code like Redclaw said ;)

    Pinnacle's FF, etc - Rogues' Gallery

    Alex the Half-Giant Warrior will speak in red... Being an excitable, hot tempered young thug. Large. Really, really large. And intimidating. In leather pants and jacket with his voluminous cloak, and his spiked chain, he looks like the tough that he is. He tends to glower, though his long-term...

    Respect for the DM?

    I didn't characterize anything as immature... My point was simply that some players may not want a terribly challenging combat game, and that there's nothing wrong with that. Even if their motivation is achievement-based (Wanting to be the uber gods of goblinslaying), there's nothing wrong with...

    Adventure Across Khorvaire - Reflections

    Oh well, if you have an opening later, would be happy to join in (Even though I'm in Pinnacle's FF too... I just love Eberron.)

    Pinnacle's Forgotten Forge, etc. OoC

    Hurray! I got in! Ehm... sorry, I'll calm down now. I'm just glad, because I put in a rather large amount of work on Alex and I love the FF campaign (And Alex is such a good fit for an urban adventure). Alex is going Psychic Warrior at ECL2, so he'll be adding some utility effects before...

    Adventure Across Khorvaire - Reflections

    Ok, completely new direction. Behold, Shar Blazeclaw, Shifter Soulknife: http://www.campaign-blog.com/view.php?id=7777 I think this guy will be much more fun.

    Adventure Across Khorvaire - Reflections

    Argh... Getting frustrated with MAD issues on the whole whirling-steel-strike monk concept... Any chance I can get a houserule to have whirling steel strike apply to rapiers, or, alternatively, apply weapon finesse to a longsword? [EDIT: Actually, never mind. While the idea of a sword...

    Adventure Across Khorvaire - Reflections

    I'll work up a monk with aspirations of becoming a Blade of Orien then... It's too bad the Tome of Battle isn't on the list... Swordsage would make more sense for basing a future Blade of Orien on, but I can work whirling steel strike in somewhere in his progression...

    Adventure Across Khorvaire - Reflections

    Hmm... I've already submitted to join the Forgotten Forge campaign... But... I don't know that I'll get in for sure, and I certainly have enough free time for multiple PbP campaigns, and this one seems like it would run a little faster... Perhaps... *looks over the thread to see what's been...

    Respect for the DM?

    First, I agree that your players are being disrespectful and don't seem to appreciate the work you put in. On the "them vs me" issue, I would take a moment to point out to my players that if I were actively trying to kill their characters, they wouldn't make it past the first scene. Period...

    D&D and violence

    That sounds more like a county jail environment, which is generally more restrictive due to the short term nature of the inmates' incarceration. Most state prisons do allow the inmates to have pencils and paper...

    Games you thought you'd like and hated and games you thought you'd hate and liked

    Yeah, that's why I said a rolling program is actually ideal... Just figure out how many dice you need to roll, tell it that number, and it will tell you if you succeed, and by how much. No need to count.

    Have you pre-ordered?

    I can't see any point in making a big rules system change when it first comes out. I'd much rather upgrade in 2 or 3 years when there's a ton of material than when there's just core and no support material. Not that I have a group to play with in RL right now anyway, but if I did, I still...

    Will this Lead to a TPK? [updated 3/16]

    Well, you've already defined the dragon as a "give me the goods and nobody gets hurt" type. The way I see it, perhaps he's amused by the players' foolish courage, if not particularly tickled by their selfishness, and decides to teach them a lesson. Now, a dragon is entitled to do non-lethal...

    Pinnacle's Forgotten Forge, etc. OoC

    Updated Alex a little. Added his strength bonus to his chain damage, and shifted attribute scores around. Dropped his Con to 12 (+2 for half giant to 14) because it only loses him one HP for the time being, and allowed me to bring his Str up to 16 (+2 to 18), just because I couldn't let there be...
