    Forked from DDI account sharing

    I think you've read quite a bit between the lines here. I said : I cannot imagine living in a place where "Take where you want by force" is the guiding rule of law. That is all that I'm saying. Then you can report it and move on. I apologise if I have offended anyone.

    Forked from DDI account sharing

    I am interested in your personal opinion: is there a difference in the morality of these two approaches to getting you DM to approve the feat?

    Forked from DDI account sharing

    I am sorry, I don't know what this means. Are you saying you can only log into the DDI from 5 computers? Or are you talking about the CB? Isn't there a lot more to the DDI than the CB? Or am I missing something? (This could be the case; I don't have or know anyone that has a DDI account.)

    Forked from DDI account sharing

    Sorry, I missed this the first time through. "You must spread XP yadda yadda." Yes, I think all that is very much related to all this. You are getting a service that has value to you, and are returning nothing to the agencies that provide you that value.

    Forked from DDI account sharing

    I agree completely that money ought not be the central theme of morality or ethics, but clearly not stealing is important in every major religious system, as well as living in a sane society. (When I go to work, it is assumed that upon my return there won't be squatters claiming my house). It...

    What if I was referring to sports, like NBA TV or something like that?

    Forked from DDI account sharing

    "Fire and Ice" is like ten lines long. But, for Beedle, considerably longer. Originally, I had "Paradise Lost." Just tossing this out there: Does it matter to you that Robert Frost is dead and J.K. Rowling is still an active author?

    Forked from DDI account sharing

    Which of these situations would you consider immoral? Which of these would you consider illegal? A friend likes the music you are playing in your car. Then you: Let him borrow the CD. Burn him a copy of the CD. Give him the CD. You read Robert Frost's "Fire and Ice", and enjoy it. Then...

    Sharing DDI Accounts: why isn't this like file sharing?

    It absolutely floors me to see people who were so vehemently against pdf piracy are using the same weak justifications to abuse the DDI. It's like bizarro world.

    Running a Hex-Crawling Campaign

    I just picked up Points of Light by Goodman Games, and couldn't be happier. There is a preview pdf and some Player's Maps on their website to get you started and see if you like it.

    Gabe at Penny Arcade: Does videogaming help?

    People have been marveling at the success of Gabe at Penny Arcade who, after years of dismissing PnP RPGs and exclusively playing videogames, took a shot a DMing and appears to be brilliant at it. I recently wondered if the exposure to videogames wasn't in fact a strength rather than a...

    D&D and Racial Essentialism

    What is the alternative? "Some elves love the woods, but some don't. Many elves are naturally adept at magic, but then again others aren't. To some elves, it is sacrilegious to cut down a live tree, but others wouldn't even give it a second thought." It is difficult enough to deal with this...

    The world outside the dungeon

    For the 3E monsters, there is no XP entry, only a CR entry. If you kill a CR 8 monster, and your party is composed of one PC each from levels 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, that is 5 calculations for a DM to make after consulting tables in the DMG. There is no flat XP award to tally and divide. To house...

    Best modules to teach player skill

    Not that I'm some expert or something, but I've never even heard of this; I thought that I was at least passingly familiar with most older modules. Maybe I can look this one up. Thanks.

    Alright, let's take B2: what are the skills that PCs are "supposed to learn" in the Caves of Chaos?

    Best modules to teach player skill

    What are some of the Basic modules, or intro level AD&D modules, that give the best training in 'Gygaxian' skills? That is, what low level modules would best prepare novice players to survive the tricks and traps used in the later modules?

    [FG&G] For Gold & Glory: 2nd Edition Fantasy Role-Playing Game

    First of all, let me preface this by saying that I think you are doing a fine job. I cut my teeth on 2nd Edition and have been wondering who would clone it. But that leads to my real question: are you allowed to promote this as a 2nd edition AD&D clone? Isn't the whole point of OSRIC et al...
