    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    And in this guys defense.. He's not a total jerk. Anyone can be obstinate or aggravating to some degree. Curmudgeon describes him better. He refuses to yield or admit fault. He's still a decent guy. So can we try to keep the 'jerk' comments to a minimum please? :)

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    Ok, I will elaborate. Outside of this situation, he and I get along fine, and enjoy each others' company. We're friendly towards one another, and it hasn't affected how we get along. Only when it comes down to this situation do we butt heads so far. Last night, he stated he "might" try...

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    Ok, I am stuck, and getting extremely angry with this person now. I tried to talk to him, using some advice from above, and he counterpointed with things completely not relating to the topic at hand, took everything out of context, and is making me angry as hell. For instance... He took every...

    3e & 1e Ad&d/od&d

    Certain circumstances = not very likely. I might play a convention 1e/2e game, but in my rpg group, we'd never use it again methinks. Maybe the occasional old module for nostalgia, a 1 or 2 shot session, but again, highly unlikely.

    Welverin; My point was that it wouldn't be exclusive... Sorry if I didn't word it right. :) I hated MGS2 btw... The plot was just too icky for me. And yes, I said icky.

    3e & 1e Ad&d/od&d

    Cleaning out the 2nd bedroom to rent it out this past weekend... I was amazed to find out I had so many 1e/2e books.. I was kinda scared. It moer than filled a bookcase.. Not just 2 or 3 shelves, the entire bookcase was overflowing... Replete with bowing shelves and stuff. lol I might still...

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    1) Point taken. 2) Good idea... Just need to grab a stopwatch now. 3) Oh you'd laugh your butt off at some of the busting of the balls that goes on from them to him... That's part of the problem with the drama, he feeds right into it, and it continues for 10-20 minutes at a shot. I try to step...

    How does Improved Grab work?

    Woot, thanks, that's exactly what I needed.

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    Yeah, true I guess.. We've tried some new people with disastrous consequences... God that was a nightmare. I've used bostongamers to date, had 3 good hits, 2 horrible.. Where do you find them mostly, PC? It'll be relatively moot on November 19, though. We get an oldtime player back (His wife...

    Doc, you should check out Final Fantasy 10 then.. It might be up your alley. And to clarify(from what I've read around the net, admittedly, it mgiht have changed, but I don't think so): Square might be putting games out for the Gamecube in addition to the ps2, not exclusively.

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    I don't know that I would classify him as 'rude'. He's been disruptive, but not abusive. He's kept pretty 'even keel' in his methods. At no time have voices been raised. I will admit it is a form of blackmail.. And seeing it in that light makes me wonder why I let it go on this long. And...

    Two pounce versions?

    My instinctive responce, and this is just my opinion and by no means official, is the first round it engages in melee... So it could start the combat a long distance away, run up and have its full round attack on top of the full move. That's the way I have used it thus far at least.. And when...

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    For the simple reason you listed above... They would feel inclined to protect him, and pamper him.. Which is what I am doing in a way I suppose. I will note I have killed him twice so far. I hedged on killing him once because I was in a bad mood and didn't want to listen to him whine. :P I...

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    lmao I thought of that.. But is it really fair to the rest of the group? Trying to find a happy medium... And maybe the answer is to just let this guy go. He refuses to play anything other than D&D. And we're gearing up to play spycraft once my game is complete.

    Vice City is hella fun. I've dumped 15ish hours into it since I got it last Friday. I own a Dreamcast (I wouldn't get enough selling it), and a PS2. I had a Gamecube, but got rid of it. The games were pretty and all, but not enough to keep my interest. I've had a ps2 since the day it came out...

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    I have a PC that utterly refuses to play anything other than a character from scratch. :( Here's an example... I'm currently running a game that has lasted almsot 2 years.. Characters are 15th level currently, almost 16th(quick levels, but on purpose, we wanted to get up in leevls to sample...

    [BoVD] So... did the sky fall?

    There is a large gaming store near me.. Probably the biggest I have personally seen. They went through 10 copies the first week. They reordered 10 and sold them within 5 days.. They've since ordered 20 more, and sold 12 of them. I'd say that's pretty dang good. The book made me laugh more...

    How does Improved Grab work?

    I've yet to see a clarified 'outline' of how this ability works. I've checked errata and FAQ, and found references to it, but they've been relatively vague, at least to me. In the PHB, under grab, it says that the attacker must succeed at a melee touch attack... Here's how I viewed this, and I...

    Celtavien: That's part of the problem... THEY make a production out of it. :) Mark: Thanks :) I was lurking for a bit, but recently feel confident enough in my knowledge of things to not step on too many toes. :)
