Well, after about two months, I can finally get to ENWORLD again. I've no idea what's been going on, but I couldn't even get a PING repsonse from my home address (and it was blocked at work). I was getting subscription thread emails, but nothing I tried would let me go to the website. I'm...

Hello, I had a Community Supporter account, but I don't remember when I purchased it. The last couple of weeks when I come on to the boards I get a "Please consider becoming a community supporter" message near the top of the page. Also I don't seem to have a search button any more Did my CS...

Hi, I recently got the Eberron Campaign Setting book, and I read the section about Action Points. My understanding is that you can choose to spend an action point to roll a D6 to add to your d20 roll after you make a roll (but before the result is announced). My questions - is a Natural 1...

Well, today is December the 1st, World Aids Day (WAD). I used to be a volunteer for a local AIDS charity. I have collected money for WAD, and cared for people in the last stages of this terrible disease. But for a few years now the threat of AIDS has diminished significantly to those of us...

So, I've been wondering - what does it look like if you hit a creature with DR against your weapon. A few ideas include - weapon passes through harmlessly - weapon bounces off - weapon appears to wound creature, but wounds immediately heal I would like to be able to describe these...

Hi all, well, better late than never - the boards went down at the wrong time! :-) Anyway, I just wanted to open discussion on the most recent selection - Nick Sagan's Idlewild. I chose this book because it seemed to fulfil the requirements of the book club, and I noticed a cover line by Neil...

Hi, I have just looked at my list of subscribed threads, and it has zero. Yesterday there were close to 200. Am I missing something? Is something wrong with my account, or has something changed in the server? Thanks Duncan

Just wondering the opinions of players and especially DMs on this topic. When I DM and an NPC goes negative I try to keep some rough count in my head of whether they are still alive when the combat ends. I like my PCs to have to make active choices to heal them, coup de grace or just let them...

Hi, Just after some suggestions. I'm running a group through Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (RttToEE). When we started we were in 3.0. Now I'm running using the 3.5 rules. One player (his character a goblin after re-incarnation) has complained that magic armour and weapons are not...

Well, I'm a bit washed out after a long weekend here. On Friday night I ran a single session Living Greyhawk (LG) game that took about 5 hours to complete. Saturday I attended our local monthly games day, where I DMed two 4-hour LG games. Sunday I ran my regular Return to the Temple of...

Hi, I've been trying different type of counters for a while now, and none of them have really pleased me. I'm not interested in minis - I think that using a non-representative figure is worse than not having one. I've tried counter collection, and that's got the same problem as minis, plus...

Hi, I'm in the market for a new printer. And I want to make sure that whatever I get can print on Index cards that I use for initiatives, etc. I use 3"x5" cards. I'm not really interested in colour, but wouldn't turn it down. Speed of printing isn't a huge issue either. It would be good...

I just wanted to drop in a note of thanks to all involved for this year's April Fools edition. As a long time reader of this site (and it's predecessor), I've always enjoyed the 1st of April / 32nd of March editions, and wanted to let you know your work is appreciated. As an Australian, I'm...

Hi, I was wondering what methods people used to help their players build a character background when starting a new campaign or introducing new PCs. For a while now I've been wondering about preparing a set of questions for the players to fill in. eg "Why did you start adventuring?" "Tell me...

Hi, in my campaign my PCs killed a young dragon without damaging it's body too much (mostly with arrows). They then decided they could sell it. They cast gentle repose on it, and arranged to have it sold in a nearby city. For a long time now I've been planning that someone of evil intent...

Arrrgghhh! Within 2 hours of buying the 3.0 DMG I reported an errata item I found. It was on page 11. Today I picked up my 3.5 books, and opened the DMG. All clear on page 11, but then I flicked forward a few more pages, and there it was on page 18. The erratum I reported was reprinted. Go...

During my game last night a series of dice rolls occured that I wanted to share. My PCs were entering into a large (although easy) fight. They approached a room, and I related the description. This room contained 10 creatures of one type and 4 of another. I drew a layout of the room on a...

As the topic, Henry, shouldn't your sig file say "C'mon July"? Otherwise Contact won't be able to use a derivative of it as a character name in "Return to Return to the Temple of Element Evil" :-) Duncan

Hi, Liberation of Tenh, (contact)'s story hour, appears to be missing. I sorted Story Hour by author, last 100 days, and it wasn't there. Other Story Hours by (contact) were there. I got an email in the last 24 hours that there had been an update to LoT. Help!! Duncan

Hi, as per the topic, I'm trying to find out if there is any official publication on Iuz - his domains, follower's alignment, etc. Thanks Duncan
