    Goodman Games DCC License?

    A private agreement with WotC. DCC is the exact type of product that Wizards wants...adventures that fit in any campaign world.

    Mamacat's helpful hints for gaming with couples with or without kids

    Great advice. As a parent, husband, and gamer I agree to all of that. One other thing, try to be respectful of the parents and keep the language at least PG rated when the kids are around.

    [The Dark Knight] IGN Review - No Spoilers

    In its day it was an excellent superhero/comic book movie. Certainly better than any that came before in making an honestly good movie that appealed to more than just the comic book geek crowd. But I do totally agree that over-hype can ruin a movie. No question.

    how much is trained a war mammoth?

    Low AC and 100 hps...it is going to be the focus of some attacks due to its size alone. You want to see a panicked party? Make them start to do handle animal checks because four ogres are hacking the mammoth's legs out from under it.

    BSG original series episodes on NBC.com

    The theme alone is worth the commercials.

    High-level overview of Pathfinder vs 3.5

    The easy fix for the monk, who get's high movement that he can't use with his signature ability (flurry), is to give him the Scout's Skirmish ability and to allow flurry to be used as a standard attack.

    Warforged and Gender

    In my campaign, Warforged are asexual. I believe the male/female personality drivel to be an attempt by WotC to be politically correct or to enable the race to gain further traction by helping women identify with it. If a pc wants to play a 'forged and investigate this aspect, I'm fine with...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder: Fixing the TWF Ranger

    Can you give a quick summary of the pathfinder changes? I haven't had a chance to look over the rules after the first release which didn't include the ranger.

    What do you make and what do you do?

    I'm in computer security for a mid-sized insurance company. I started about eight years ago in IT a help desk, worked my way up to network administrator, then shifted companies and got into the security side. I do have a B.A. in an unrelated field.

    WotC Official PDF versions - would you buy them?

    The question of whether or not selling the pdf would enable piracy is moot. The cat is out of the bag already on this one. There are publisher's proof pdf copies of all three core books already moving around the pirate sphere, so it isn't a question of whether they will be pirated. Now, the...

    Which Edition?

    We are playing 3.5 now and have no immediate plans to change. We tried a few of the homebrew preview games and the verdict was somewhere between unimpressed to downright loathing. My next campaign, which I expect could be this fall, I'm looking at maybe using Pathfinder or Monte's Experimental...

    What have you done to Drow in your world?

    Mechanically, nothing. But being Eberron Drow are a) not an available player race, and b) confined to Xen'drik (a southern continent far removed from my campaign). Point "a" is significant because I allow many other types of monster races (gnolls, goblins, kobolds, orcs, hobgoblins, etc.). In...

    We don't know yet, but I have theories... I've heard a great theory that it will end up being Desmond and Penny

    Speed Racer

    Took my three year old to see it last weekend and we both really enjoyed it. The problem is the marketing...it is a "G" rated kids flick, not a modern comic book action adventure movie. It was wild, fun and a great time, I think. As far as G-rated movies go, I give this a solid 3 out of 4 stars.

    Did you retire characters at name level?

    No, we didn't. And we kept gaining HD too. We kept the same progression as you had in the first 10 levels.

    Eberron: Sources of info on Lamannia

    Info on all of the Ebberon planes is sorely lacking. There's some stuff on the Eberron wiki, but very little: http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Lamannia Plus there is a hint of talk about it in a Dragonshard: http://64.223.12.31/default.asp?x=dnd/ebds/20050404a

    D&D 3.x getting rid of full-attack in 3.5e

    Wow, I was thinking about this in the shower just this morning. The issue I ran up against, on the player side, was that for many characters the iterative attacks are what help balance melee fighters against magic users. Yeah, you can toss a fire ball, but I'll get to swing at him three, four...

    May Movies - What do you want to see MOST?

    Iron Man. Because the chance of Indy sucking is just too great. If they get it right, it will rule, but I've lost all faith in Lucas.
