Indeed! A very good idea! yangnome at yangnome dot com is the address to remember. If there is some sort of weirdness with EN World when your story is due, email it to Yangnome. That way you have a judge that can attest that it would have been posted on time.

My personal experiences with EN World indicate that the weekends are quieter across the general user base. I would suggest giving it until Monday afternoon before closing the signups and bracketing folks. EDIT: I would also suggest that you change the thread title to reflect that signups are...

Excellent advice! It is OK to be nervous the first time you compete. It is OK to feel overwhelmed and start thinking you are in over your head; that this is insane, and really it is just a bunch of messageboard people and how are they to know if you come up with some excuse not to post a...

*mumble*Yeah, that's just what I need. Another asshanding from Sialia. *ahem* I mean, sweet! It would be great to have Sialia in the contest. Especially if she were picking off other opponents. Other opponents, not me. Of course, Sialia as a judge would be shiny as well. However...

Hey there is Berandor! Hi Berandor! Nifty cool. Looks like we still need judges. I am not going to volunteer to judge this time around. Too much like work if I do that.

If I may direct you to a place that might help answer your question: Ceramic DM FAQ for Fiction It is a writing contest. The judges provide pictures, you and an opponent write a story around those pictures. Everybody has fun reading and writing. Eventually, through a few rounds, a winner is...

OK, I took that as a challenge. I think between email/PM/IM I have passed on the challenge to 6 other folks that have a solid NM tie. Not sure any of them will have time/interest, but we will see.

SAP doesn't so much suck as our implementation was "special". And not in a good special way. Our first implementation partner couldn't bring us to a go-live state. The drama! And not something I care to go into online because there is quite likely more work to be done. Work involving...

Not hiding so much as recovering. It's been a long process with that SAP implementation. Heck, I even gave up gaming toward the end because I was too busy!

Hey folks, I am starting up a Ptolus campaign here in Albuquerque and I am looking for new players to add to the group. A few things you should know: Core books + Ptolus will be allowed, all other sources must be approved in advance We do include a number of 3rd party materials as 'house...

You know, I am finally done with this huge 21 month project and actually trying to do fun stuff again. Writing might be a nice way to reacquaint myself with EN World. I will toss my hat in the ring.

Assuming both sides are aware of each other, making any move that could be construed as aggressive immediately drops the game into initiative. I let the players tell me when they want to begin. If they are speaking and make a move/action that seems like it could be aggressive, then the...

Yeah, but if you are going to step outside the core to do something cool, why use a WotC product? There is a lot, and I do mean a lot, of great 3rd party product out there. I would love to see more adventures actually use some of the terrific OGL content out there. In that regard, why would I...

And that is why it would basically be a no-sell to several people. Believe it or not, there are quite a few people out there that only use Core rules. As well, there is a group of people that does not purchase everything that WotC releases. There are several products released by WotC that I...

Sacred cows - Druidic is supposed to be an analogue to the Ogham. In 1st Ed it was a secret society language like Thieves Cant. It just hasn't been done away with yet. Back on topic, I like the Fochulan Lyrist. It does a good job simulating 1st Ed Bard.

Thanks for the newest episode, it was a delightful read. And thanks to the ladies for giving you some great stuff to write up.

Take a look at the Farland Mass Combat system and see if it does what you are looking for.

I generally assume that a fireball will kill all mundane, non-sentient plantlife in the AOE. But I also treat it like a flashfire that crisps everything rather than lighting it on fire. If the forest is particularly dry, or the environment is otherwise something that is notably flammable, I...

OK, it looks like you are houserulling the EOM rules a bit, but that's cool! A few thoughts: 1d6+10 is an average of 13.5 Con damage. Thus it is closer to 4d6 damage for 15 SP (Convert 4d6 damage in Evoke death to 1d6 ability damage - 15 sp would provide 16 dice of damage). Summoning a CR...

In our reality with our physics, no. But hey, we are talking a reality where a bit of alchemy can turn Dr. Jeckell into Mr. Hyde, Dr Frankenstein creates his monster, gypsies hunt werewolves, a newly bitten werewolf's blood is a theoretical buffing agent for vampire 'children', lycanthropy has...
