S.H.I.N.Y. (Save Harm/Haste/Hypnotism/Hold Monster In the New Year)--Membership Drive

[Tom Cashel]

Already the perfection of the spell Harm seems to be threatened in the "revised" edition of D&D. This thread is the membership drive for my new organization, S.H.I.N.Y. That stands for Save Harm In the New Year. We have to stick together if we're going to stop the revisionists who want to "update" Harm and teach evolution in the schools, and let WotC know that we won't stand for the miasmatic destruction of our favorite spell, Harm.

MANIFESTO:

Harm is perfect as written. Harm's description is the pinnacle of cogent explanation, the zenith of game balance, the nirvana of willful and terrifying damage to the bodily health of PCs and NPCs alike--and we like it that way! We, the proud membership of S.H.I.N.Y., challenge the designers of WotC, and their liege-lords the Executives, to ignore the naysayers and the triffids, and leave Harm intact in the Revised Core Books. History will vindicate you!

Identify yourself as a S.H.I.N.Y. new member by putting it in your sig--"Member of S.H.I.N.Y.: Save Harm from the Revisionists in the New Year!"

Keep on harmin', folks.

Down with Harm as written! Long live saving throws!

Down with incompetent DM's who feel threated by the removal of their pet broken spells!

Count me in, Tom.. you unbelieveable bastard, you.

And down with incompetent DMs who's game can get ruined by a 6th level cleric spell!

mmu1: You are hereby banned from joining S.H.I.N.Y.

Most likely you'll be reincarnated as a Mao button in the Region of Thud. Sorry about that.

Count me in, Tom.. you unbelieveable bastard, you.

Oh, great...Rule Nazi has joined the fray.

I suggest a new groups. Shaft Harm In the New Year also called S.H.I.N.Y. just to sow confusion.

No, no... That'd be "Down with DMs who don't feel like being inconvenienced by a 6th level failure of playtesting and who can spell "whose"."

Although banned from S.H.I.N.Y you are more than welcome in S.H.I.N.Y.

 

[Lucius Foxhound]

No, no... That'd be "Down with DMs who don't feel like being inconvenienced by a 6th level failure of playtesting and who can spell "whose"."

That's right mmu1.. since you're from New York City, you'll know that rhymes with "youse."

Failed at playtesting? Sounds like you're the one who doesn't play well with others. Go back to DM school!

After seeing d20 Modern I think the "Save Haste in the New Year" won't be too far behind...
