Heh... would you be willing to consider a player who has run through The Wizard's Amulet and Crucible of Freya not too long ago? I promise, I won't use player knowledge. :) I've even being honest and mentioning it up front in case it will be a problem. ;) That said, here's my character...

I haven't noticed a whole lot of the problems that others have been mentioning... although I did hear about the 200 thing this year, secondhand. (I live in Indy so registering for a hotel didn't effect me, and honestly, I wouldn't want one right downtown, anyway.) I wasn't able to go last...

When you wing the stats, do you ever have issues with players questioning you? Like, "We've done over 50 points of damage to that creature, it has a max of 35 HP" or anything along those lines? How do you handle it when the players know the rules/monsters better than you do? (Hope that I'm not...

I second the suggestion of index cards or something like that to use for buffs, etc. As for the rest, I have run across the same problem and would also like to hear suggestions. As for grappling, I'm considering using the following in any games I run: 1. Make a touch attack. 2. If the touch...

D20 Modern, with the Urban Arcana and D20 Past supplements would be the best fit, I think, from what I remember of the show. I also have a D20 write-up of Dark Water somewhere around here....

I've played Council of Wyrms before, back in 2e. It was quite fun, but as has been mentioned, the in-game time is an issue. However, we are currently playing a 3.5e D&D game with 2 dragon PCs (using level-breakdown rules from Dragon magazine). The most difficult part is actually roleplaying -...

I'd love to be able to get in on this, and would be more than happy to work for comp copies... Unfortunately, I don't have any professional experience as an editor. However, I completed at least four semesters of Honors English in college and have worked as an Executive Administrative Assistant...

Hmm... the last several years of TSR come to mind. :) Actually, if I recall correctly, WOTC anticipated and expected the glut back at the debut of OGL, and the fact that most of those 'publishers' folded after the first year or so. My Google-fu is weak, and I couldn't find the press...

My sister used to do that for Christmas money. She'd end up earning 200+ a night, sometimes. It's not for everyone, though.

I have to echo, they work well for some dogs, but not others. I've never personally had one, but a friend of mine did - their dog would stand in the back of the yard, by the house, gather himself, then launch himself across the yard at top speed. He'd yip in pain as he went past the fence, and...

I do agree - we just bought a house, and it is a lot more than we had hoped (although, fortunately, about what we had planned for). Also, you have to pay for maintenance to the house and lawn - and if you are having trouble making ends meet now, even if you have the money for closing costs and...

When I was in a simular situation, I found that I had to stop and think every time money left my wallet. This is much harder than it sounds. When paying bills, stop and review them (you should sit down with your other half for this as well, find out what he is paying). Consider - do you...

Actually, that was the review I found, and it was quite helpful, along with your suggestions for the difficult EL4 encounters and Torrent, the first NPC. :)

Scarred Lands rocks, BTW. :D I'd like to run a game in Scarred Lands eventually, but I'm just not good with coming up with my own adventures yet, so I should get more experience first. :) (Not to mention, more of the books.... I only have 1 at the moment.)

So... I've read the reviews (okay, the one review that I found in the ENWorld database), and have been hearing about this adventure path for a while. What I've heard, I've liked. And, of course, it's by EN Publishing, so I know it's good. ;) I've been considering running another game for a...

Actually, Acrobat will tile them for you when printing if you ask it to, and 30 seconds in a photo program (even Microsoft Photo Editor) will enlarge them very easily. Of course, that doesn't address the fact that they still look pretty bad enlarged that much. Just putting my voice in as...

My fiancé either buys a PDF version of whatever book, or scans in the appropriate page(s). Then he uses a OCR program to pull the text out and into a word file. Then all he has to do is format it. Of course, the issues with this include the need to buy an OCR program for your PC....

I love this idea! (And, more importantly, the example). ;) Mind if I yonk for my game? :)

I have to agree with this. I haven't a problem coming up with a roleplaying character or concept on my own. I do, sometimes, have problems finding a class that will reflect that. Now, I'd rather post "I need a build that can do X" - with X being what my character will do - rather than "I need a...

I never claimed it was original, although I appreciate the complement. ;) I actually got the idea from a couple of books I'd read, involving shifters instead of anthros, but same basic concept. (These weren't children's books, but now that you mention it, I can think of some offhand like that...
