Awesome - I'll check out both SW and 007. Thanks for the recommendations!

Thanks Mark! Solo Heroes looks good; I'll check the pdf out now. I appreciate the pointer.

After a long time away, I've got the itch for some pen-and-paper role playing. I played/DM'd a lot of D&D 2/3/3.5 in high school and college, but have been out of the RPG scene for years (marriage, babies, etc). Now that the kids are old enough to sleep reliably at night, I was thinking about...

Actually, order doesn't matter for the second two - only for the first attribute. So, really there are 24 ways of having 1 primary and 2 secondaries such that the three defenses are covered. Not sure how much this matters :)

I'm amused that a couple of mods have posted in this thread but none of them have deleted it :)

Ack; darn you, Occam! I never noticed the mismatch in 3.X and I wouldn't have noticed 'streetwise' in 4e until you pointed it out! Now it's always going to bug me! :mad:

Haha - this made me laugh :) Here are a couple more I thought of... Witch's Hat. Though it's really just a (black) variety of the LBCC, a witch's hat is pretty iconic (thanks to the Wizard of Oz, etc). Pairs well with brooms and cauldrons. Hood/Cowl. Nothing says 'mysterious' like a nice big...

To adapt a WoW joke I once heard to D&D... Q: What do angsty 4th edition players and rogues have in common? A: They both pick locks! Get it? Brooding/angsty players supposedly like the warlock class? And rogues... well, you know - right? And, for the record, the 'What American accent do you...

Title pretty much sums it up :) The 'rules' sticky posts at the top of each forum are leading to 404 pages.

I post the same point that has been made at least as forcefully many times before in this thread. I have a deep need to feel that I am being recognized for having that good idea as well, though. Oh, and a requisite smiley: :D

I can second 'Genesis Games and Gizmos' as a good store to check out if you ever happen to be on the east side of the lake. There's plenty of gaming to be had here.

Eh, definitely a personal preference thing. But, for me, it's too much combat simulation in a game that I like to be more about roleplaying. I play with two groups - in one, we use minis and it works out fine. In the other, (the one I DM) we don't and it works out fine as well. I like that I...

The results are in: LG Elf Cleric/Sorcerer (2/2). Str: 12 Dex: 16 Con: 12 Int: 19 Wis: 17 Cha: 15 What's fascinating about this is that it chose cleric/sorc instead of cleric/wiz despite the int being much higher than the cha! Interstingly enough, that might be right for me. I'm definitely more...

Hmm... taking the test now, we'll see how it turns out - but some of the questions have big gaps in possible answers it seems. For example... 6. The following statement most accurately describes my health. I am sick most of the time. I seem to get sick as often as most people I...

Yea :) This story was pre-3.5 obviously.

Somewhat off topic, but this makes me think of a funny (and supposedly true) story I heard from someone on these boards a while ago (unfortunately, I don't remember who): There was a mother who was concerned her son was playing D&D, so on Sunday after church, she took her son to the pastor and...

There's been a lot of good responses here, but since I've also faced this situation, I'll toss in my own story. Executive summary for those who don't want to read a long post: Appeal to her parents to trust in you to not run some sort of whacked out game) My girlfriend (now wife) is, like me...

I suppose that could work. And, regarding earlier comments, I know that D&D doesn't reproduce mythological creatures particularly closely, but as someone else has said, if they're giving blindsight to some new creatures, the cyclops seems like exactly the wrong one. :\

Blindsight? In the Odyssey (first mention of a cyclops I'm aware of - other than, maybe, other Greek myths), Odysseus escapes from the cyclops by BLINDING it!!! Perhaps WotC needs to do a little more research in the future?
