    Amethyst is not Shadowrun

    Yes, but rather than being a crossroads of all realities, Amethyst is basically our world with two competing sets of physical laws. I've looked over the web site and it looks very very cool. But I agree that a Cynosure-style setting would rock as well. :)

    Craft an NPC... DCC: The Castellan, Half-Dragon Ettin

    That big necklace looks like a key to me. Maybe a key to a planar gate acquired by his dragon sire and given to the ettin for safe keeping? Or maybe it's the key to the vault where his sire is trapped in a magical stasis, and the ettin wants to free him! Classic. :) I agree that he needs...

    The Warrior

    Outstanding! She's clearly getting ready to shoot at the walls of heartache. :)

    How much money have you spent on 3.x?

    I would guess... $200.00 in books and PDFs Maybe $250.00 probably $350.00 - $400.00 including minis. And, yes, it's what will probably prevent my jumping to 4.0. I've just got way too much invested in the current version of the game to start over. I'll pick and choose 4.0 stuff (especially...

    "Previously on..." - Recapping the previous session

    We often spend a few minutes doing a recap because we tend to have several weeks between sessions. Also, it's pretty common that one or more players can't make it, so if they're present the next week they need to be brought up to speed. I encourage the players to do the recap for two reasons...

    Poll on starting ages for RPG?

    It was, I think, 1978. That would make me 11 or 12 years old at the time. There have definitely been threads like this before, but I don't recall a poll. It might be tough to come up with good poll choices, especially with people like Sniffles as outliers. :)

    Monte's 3.75? (A sequal is on its way)

    Except that I'm pretty sure I recognize a lot of those ideas as having been posted on Monte's blog months to years ago. I'll definitely check this out. While I'm not a 4E hater by any means (actually I think it will be great) I can't justify the expense when I've already spent so much on 3.5...

    LotR: Galadriel Triumphant

    Galadriel is OLD. She was born, if I remember correctly, in the Blessed Realm, before the exile of the Noldor that started the First Age. I would definitely credit her with being able to put her own stamp on things and even resist the ring outright for a time. So she might accomplish...

    How To Give A Cat A Pill

    Once you've given the cat its pill, it might need a bath. THis is apparently by a woman named Cathy Powell. The original is here, but I've done the copy/paste thing to spare you the pop-up ads:

    What are the ideal % of success for PCs succeeding skills?

    I voted 45/15 but actually I'd prefer about 70/10. If a character is meant to be good at something they should succeed at it more often than not, but if they're not trained I still like them to be able to pull it off occasionally (unless it's an obscure skill that can't be used untrained). I...

    We need another BG/BG2, Forget the MMORGs!

    The Temple of Elemental Evil computer game is for you. It's based on the 3.5 rules and has exactly the style of play you're describing. Find a copy, but that's just the first step. This game, as released, was HUGELY buggy. As in unplayable. But there are patches to get you going. More...

    The Odyssey System -- Stripped-down Hot Rod d20 rules

    I couldn't agree more. I know such a system would be a ton of work, but I think it would mesh nicely with a classless system (everybody can buy powers as part of a talent tree, etc.).

    I can't access my subscribed threads page!

    I assume it's everybody (my subscriptions are broken the same way). Thanks for the tip, Dalamar!

    DROGAN'S TRAP, An Eberron Dungeon Adventure 8th Level

    Sorry, but I won't be posting a character after all. It sounds like a blast, but I don't want to overextend myself and I'm getting busy at work again. So the Warforged Scout...Scout that OnlyTheStrong is looking at should be a GO. :) Have fun!

    Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

    Well, we got rousted out of bed, so I'm thinking pretty late. :)

    DROGAN'S TRAP, An Eberron Dungeon Adventure 8th Level

    I don't have any Eberron stuff, but I do have the rules for warforged (they're in one of my books, though I don't remember which). I'd be up for a warforged scout rogue. Somebody who was an infiltrator/sentry-removal specialist during the Great War, and is now looking to apply what he knows...

    No pro-football thread here???

    Same here. I haven't looked at his stats, but in the games I've gotten to see this year he seems to be committing a LOT of penalties.

    Yeah. I "suspected" they were out there but I couldn't prove it. :D

    Which version of D&D for young children?

    I'd go with a pared-down 3.5 for one simple reason. I realized the other day that the perfect class to start a kid with isn't fighter. It's Warlock. Cool magical powers, with absolutely no bookkeeping.

    No pro-football thread here???

    Bah, it's not his throwing shoulder. Suck it up! :) I've dislocated my shoulder a couple of times and it is NO fun. A separated shoulder, I thought, was even worse. How could he not know?
