...poor grammer...

Whoops. That's always unfortunate...

Sometimes the SIEGE engine is used in places where I think a separate subsystem works better (e.g. surprise, saving throws); this may be a taste issue.

<t>I've recently been experimenting with "special effects" for magic users. These are basically very minor magical effects that a MU can "have going" at will while he as an appropriate spell memorized. For example, a MU that has fireball memorized might be able to make smoke come from his ears when ...

Last comment - Deer Hunter, you must see it.

That movie rocks.

Skimmed one of them at the FLGS. It seemed like someone made a list of things I dislike and packed them into the product. I concluded that whoever did this has a specific market in mind, and did an awesome job targeting it. Somebody is going to really love these...it just isn't me.

Hmm. I prefer non-glossy. I still may pick up a 3rd printing, though -- extra PHs around the table are always nice.

I like Dio. I even had his Elf albums (no longer, though).

There are some alternate multi-class rules and other stuff available in the C&C section at Dragonsfoot -- worth checking out.

<t>I'd try them both. It depends on what your definition of the ultimate system is, and how you want to run the game.<br/> <br/> D&D and C&C excel at a game where you have gradually increasing threat-levels. If you're running mega-dungeon with increasing difficulty on deeper levels, for exam...

I was out of town, but managed to find a participating game store where I was at, so I snagged a copy. I haven't had a chance to read it, yet, but will post some feedback once I do.

Ah, but that's exactly what i'm doing...To me, this is just another situational modifier just like any other that is listed in the PH.

Yeah, I agree; I think these things call for rulings, rather than new rules.

Fizz wrote: For example- you want to knock a potion out of the hands of your opponent. In that case, you're not really targeting your enemy. I'd assign an AC or probability based on the circumstances and roll. Quote: Or, you want to chop off his hand to remove that magic ring. That's a tough one. I...

I was probably drinking 2 liters or more per day.

2 liters is ~68 fl. oz., so that sounds about right (esp. if the "or more" part is correct).

Wow -- that's a lot of Pepsi!

Treebore wrote: Good start! I've gone 5 day without Pepsi today. I've lost 1.5 Lbs with no other change in my habits. If your weight loss came solely from eliminating Pepsi Calories, it means you must have been drinking seven cans of Pepsi per day. If you were drinking fewer than seven per day, the...

Same here.

Me too. Same story for B/X modules: I don't bother with any "formal conversions."

Then it's down to 1500 per day, unless I'm still losing weight, in which case I'll stay on the higher level until I consistently stall. That sounds like a wise plan.

<t>I wouldn't recommend eating less than 1200-1300 calories per day; eating fewer calories than that will eventually cause a drastic slowdown in your metabolism, making the weight that much harder to lose, and then when you do start eating more calories, your body will pack weight on that much faste...
