And I'll repost my almsotexperience with Burning Man :) I have a friend who lived in Reno for several years. He went to Burning Man 4 or 5 years running (1994 or 95 to 1998 I think it was). He invited me, and one year I decided to go. That was....1996. So I threw my meager belongings on my...

Since you mentioned a preference for writing, I'll leave you on both lists until either you contribute pics or it is certain we need you to judge. I estimated a week-ish for sign-ups, so lets see how things go for the next 4 days then decide. Thanks for the commitment though! Aaron

Thanks Rodrigo :) As far as picking pics, I have no idea. I thought maybe I'd let the judges decide that among themselves. In the past, all I know is someone or other offered to, I have no idea where they found the pics or how they decided on them. Any suggestions would be appreciated :) Aaron...

Yes, this has become the official sign-up thread. Again, the official contest thread I'll ask one of the judges to start after the judges/contestants are solidified. I'm going to shoot for 3 judges, with 1 alt, and 16 contestants, with 2 alts. From what I have seen in the past, everybody likes...

Ulric, and other newcomers to CDM - See the links in Rodrigo's post. The FAQ is pretty clear about the event, and if you have any questions feel free to post here. Aaron

OK, its that time again. Rising like a ghost, I will try to hound writers and judges into spending time they dont have. How's the scene been since last I was here. Any interest in a renewal? My wife is on the last few chapters of her masters thesis, to be defended in 2 weeks, her graduation...

Thanks for the pointers. Yeah I looked at the flying only with a light load, but it also specifically mentions in the Dranomicon the dragons are quadrapeds, and thus have a higher carrying capacity. Using the size modifiers, modified for quadrapeds, in the PHB adventuring section gives them the...

I'm going to allow one of my players to have a dragon cohort, and he was asking me about dragons wearing armor. My initial reaction was no, but I can't find any rules on the subject and I've been considering it. Does anyone know any specific rules regarding dragons wearing armor? Anyone...

Does spell resistance stack? Such as from monks natural spell resistance and from armor with spell resistance? Aaron

I know I saw a thread about this but can't find it. Does monk damage stack with natural attacks? For example, can a dragon disciple/monk add their unarmed monk damage to their claw damage? Aaron

OK, I know a character has to willingly lower their magic resistance for other spells to affect them without needing to beat it. Do they have to do that on their turn? And it lasts 1 round right? And, do they have to lower their magic resistance for their own spells? For example, does a cleric...

I think I'm going to allow it for friends, but since the spell states 'willing targets' I don't think I would allow it for the vampire. Aaron

Hm, interesting points and counterpoints, and exactly the things I was thinking about. Has anybody encountered this in play and ruled one way or the other? I think I am leaning toward allowing the monk to bring others, as long as they are in contact. I am using my minds eye theater here, and...

Ring of evasion can be handy. Don't think I've seen a ring of improved evasion though :). And, of course, it depends on what you need the saves against. Aaron

OK, under assassins in the DMG, it states that they cast spells like bards. Bards cast arcane spells, spontaneously. Great. What about the bard ability to ignore ASFC in light armor? That is listed on bards under armor/weapons, and is not listed under assassin there. So, do assassins suffer...

Hm, you may be right. I'm just not entirely sure the monk can bring other people with him. Still a level before the monk in my game gets dimension door, so I ahve a bit to think about it. Aaron

Hm, looking at it in the book, I notice something, well, odd. It mentions that some take the heavy armor proficiency feat instead of 'weasting' a level on fighter class, and the example runesmith they have did that. But, he didn't take light or medium armor feats. Last I checked, I 'thought' it...

I don't see any reason why you couldn't keep casting spells as rune spells, even ones you learn later. I think I'd demand it actually. I think I'd personally wait until later to take the class, or at least to get the last level for that permanent one. 8th level spell like ability twice a day is...

Monks get abundant step (dmiension door ability) and the ability to go ethereal. Both of these state 'as if...' refering to the specific spells. Both spells allow for bringing other characters or gear along. Is this allowed for the monk? Or can the monk only bring himself and his normal gear...

So, one of my players - the cleric - was asking if he could get his holy symbol tattooed on his skin or implanted in his body somehow, so that he wouldn't be denied it if he was captured and his gear taken from him or some such. For turning I know the symbol has to be boldly displayed, but for...
