Thank you!

This link seems to be broken and I couldn’t find the article with a quick search. Possible to get an updated link?

I think this campaign is a masterpiece. I didn't have an active Delta Green game going at the time but it wormed it's way into my mind so much that I knew I had to run it. I do wish this review was a bit less spoilerific for potential players, though. Particularly highlighting so clearly that...

Woot! Excited to get this and listen to it since I'll start running Kingmaker on October 3.

Another vote for Curse of the Crimson Throne, particularly the first two or three.

1) About 25-30% of campaigns overall, in my personal, limited experience. But if you discount those that fizzle out before the first five sessions I'd say it goes up to 60% or more. 2) It's definitely satisfying to get closure. 3) I think whatever can be wrapped up organically is good to wrap...

Hi all, I've been a 3.0/3.5 player for years. When 4e came out I purchased the books, and a couple months back started a play-by-post game with some friends. My expectations for 4e were not high, but I've liked 4e more than I thought I would... until our most recent encounter in which I had a...

I'm the player in question. :) I'm kind of giving my friend here a hard time in the chat but I think I explained my position better in a phone call. PHB p. 266: "If any combatants notice enemy combatants without being noticed in return, the aware opponents gain a surprise round." The...

Brasyl by Ian McDonald. I decided to read it as it's made an appearance on several best of the year list. McDonald throws in a lot of Brazilian Portuguese terms, which can make it tough going at times, but I'm about a 100 pages in -- and I can see why people are making a fuss about it now. There...

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel. There's an excerpt here... http://www.williamgibsonbooks.com/books/neuromancer.asp

My personal preference is definitely subtitled as I want to hear the acting in the original language. I lived in Japan 14 years and pretty much all non-Japanese movies are subtitled there. The only dubbed movies you see at the theaters are Pixar movies and the like for kids, in which kids can't...

Currently reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. A mainstream "non-genre" with lots of "genre" references.

Interesting experience. I started reading this thread, then noticed a post by me that I didn't remember at all. Then I noticed the date. I'd totally forgotten about it and it was strange to read my own comments.

One of the best features of RttToEE is that there is a readily accessible community of DMs running the adventure here: http://p222.ezboard.com/Return-to-the-Temple-of-Elemental-Evil/fokayyourturnfrm17 It's slowed down from the heyday, but this would be another good place to ask the question.

Sigh... I read and very much liked the original short story in Dozois' collection years back so was really excited when Metaplanetary came out. It was a great book but I felt a bit betrayed at the end when it didn't wrap up because there was no mention anywhere on the cover or first few pages of...

I echo Erekose13's thanks for a well-done game, Rybaer! No worries about calling an end, it had reached a natural stopping point -- and actually the first of my games that has done so rather than ending in the middle of the action. It was also my longest-lasting game here on the boards over the...

Nakaya! Didn't know you were an ENWorlder! Jharel here! Nakaya pulled one of Golemagg's doggies to me just yesterday for tanking. Well pulled it was, too! :) Nakaya pulled down five (?) pieces of Giantstalker on only her second raid. I'm jealous!

Whoa! So some of you EN types have made it over to the Horde side? Does Obsidian Guard have any relation to EN? You probably won't recall but I joined Feathermoon because you guys were here, built up a priest to level 9 (Jocasta, who is still in the guild!) but then fell in love with the Horde...

Pyior nods gravely. "Indeed, I hope no harm has befallen him. Speaking of the Trythium, my companions and I only spoke with them shortly, so we have little direct knowledge of their activities. I agree with Ys-Korros that they were certainly suspicious and unfriendly."

"I understand. Thank you. Now, about that lodging..." Pyior is satisfied and ready to start travel back to the Ebonring Keep the next morning.
