I haven't been able to access it for a few days either.

A game that started under house-ruled-beyond-recognition 2E and ended under 3.5 (note - I do NOT recommend changing systems in mid-campaign like that, and wouldn't do it again) reached about level 16.

The duration alone needn't be a problem, if you've got a game that can stay engaging through it. Talisman doesn't stay engaging. Heck, it often doesn't even start engaging. I've played it six or seven times because it was what the other people around me happened to be playing, and can honestly...

I believe we have the thread winner.

The hardest thing to get right is pacing. I'm still only okay at it, I think.

How is the bite and the comment about "children" not a dead giveaway (if you'll forgive the pun)? Vampire. I'm not even putting it in spoilery form because it seems to me this strip is supposed to make it obvious.

Ha! Not perfect, but much better. I don't know about baking, but a lot of the time one *is* better off with home cooking than restaurant cooking. Of course, one gets tired of doing that *every day*. I don't know anyone who buys a computer every day!

Very bad analogy. It does not take anywhere near the time or skill to put a computer together versus a house or car.

-shrug- Whether it's D&D rules or computers, I'm such an inveterate tinkerer that by the time I got an out-of-the-box Dell or HP machine set up the way I wanted it - if that turned out to be possible in the first place - I wouldn't have saved any time. Probably not money either - at this point...

I don't understand why anyone would buy a big-name computer when it's cheaper and almost as easy to buy the parts and build it yourself, or if you're too scared to do that, let someone like Newegg do it for you. You get exactly the components you want and you aren't paying a premium for a name.

Adventure 8 is O, Wintry Song of Agony. Tears of the Burning Sky is adventure 6.

Vortberd was a brain fart on my part. Laurabec and Tiljan I recognized the names of (as I've said, Tiljan was actually a PC in my group for a while). However, there's no Lyre of Building that I recall in the 3E version, much less an entire subplot around it, and I have no idea what the Aquilla...

... I hardly recognize any of the events or NPC names you just mentioned, and my group has since finished the third adventure. Is that all stuff from the 4E version?

I get the following every time I open the news page: "Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired.<br /> <br /> Please reload the window." (Including the broken tags.)

Appears to be fixed :-).

On the Legacy view, some of the stories on the front page are showing up dark-grey-on-black instead of white-on-black, and are therefore all but unreadable without highlighting them. The affected stories are those from today under the headings Roleplaying Games News, Community News and Other...

Umbran and Bill D, let it be known that manly tears are being shed on your behalf here. Umbran especially, I lost a kitten under somewhat similar circumstances a few years back. It's never easy even knowing you did probably the best it was possible to do.

Uggh is right... didn't realize it was so laborious. I'd have hoped there'd be a way to automate the process, but if there was you'd surely be using it.

Okay, I FINALLY found it. If I may make a suggestion, perhaps the whacking great heading at the top that says Subscribers Content should lead to all, not just 10% or so, of the subscribers content. The only way to find the majority of that content is currently in the forums, and I don't know how...

Conspicuous by his absence - Clark Ashton Smith. There's only a whole adventure based around his work, published not so very long after Gygax wrote that (though EGG didn't write it).
