The most dangerous monster is the same as the most dangerous game: man

Specifically, a fully equipped party of them

I think what scares me the most is what kind of terrifying medical test did our friend Treebore endure to measure out all of his blood to quantify the deficit? And not only that, but those pointy heads at the VA are actually measuring it all out in pint jars! Then again, rumour has it Keith Richards...

Well, my Doctors have finally found out why I have been feeling so crappy for no apparent reason for the last several weeks. I am missing 3+ Pints of blood. As to why I am missing 3+ Pints of blood, no idea. The usual suspects are not giving any evidence. I am not bleeding in any identifiable way. ...

Please define what you mean by "powerful." It might mean a change in answer. I would saaay... an across the board ability to succeed, turn situations to advantage, be self sufficient, survive, etc. and including overall potential to affect one's environment, etc. A very broad view o' powe...

How many Robitussin and rye whiskey have you had?

cuchulainkevin wrote:what's the scoop on the super secret forum?

My understanding is that is where they write the truths that the public is not yet ready to hear. Things like having a class use its main attribute for all checks. Or where all the baby pigeons actually are (hint: it involves aliens).

I have a party to go to, but I should be able to check in a bit late. My plan is to arrive at the end of the last combat for the night, just before the treasure is divided

It is a bit more complicated than my "quadratic wizards" graph would imply. A 1st level wizard is devastatingly powerful. Her sleep spell can wipe out her entire party, and she has multiple uses at 1st level. But, that same powerful wizard can be slain by a mere housecat: http://www.gorbas...

Sure it's possible.

No, it isn't. Not in any meaningful way.

Yes it is; one can discuss it.

. The best part was when they said :"just eyeball it". Bless those trolls

This game is sooo much fun. Many, many thanx guys. Great stuff. What I liked this session was the way Kayolan wove a little mini story into the encounter. It's not just an ogre with some goblins. It's a boastful ogre, who's eating some of the mysterious creatures we seek. Maybe he has valuable info...

Thanks

Lots of fun, can't believe you guys did so much in such a short amount of time. The raid on Alfis's hideout was awesomely done. That really was amazing. We did an entire dungeon containing 23 opponents with just three PCs (+ Buttercup ;) ). And it all started with those two sniped arrow shots from ...

looks like nweltes game is cancelled for tonight

Awesome game again. P.S. We should play again tonight. :P I'm up for it, let me know guys. (Still looking for new players!) I am in nwelte’s Sunday game, which I believe is tonight My PC spends the session convincing the local clergy that the party's vanquishing of the evil threatening the town is ...

If we wanted to get totally revolutionary we could: 1) switch armour to a damage reduction effect, rather than defense bonus, but at a cost of slowing you down 2) have shields provide a defense bonus, but also have them slow you down 3) change initiative to more of a "shot clock" system li...

With the way the to hit mechanic is built with only 20 steps on a d20 it is difficult to accomodate the true nature of shields. A fun experiment is to have yourself and a friend put on all white clothing, grease up two broom sticks and whack at each other 20 times. Then do the same thing but with bo...

Sounds good

Edit: I have to pick something up in the city so hopefully back by 9 eastern

Given that your hand is the thing that has to get closest to the baddies, and I rather enjoy having fingers, the more basket hilted the better. So, Munchen for me

Know what the best way is? Just decide when its time, based upon whatever criteria you think matters. It is your game, and your world, after all. So such things should occur when you deem them appropriate. So just let us players know such things can occur, then tell a given player if/when it does o...

Thinking about the special properties trigger rule a bit further, Rigon, a few ideas. If we apply a flat d1000 to the attempt, it will be pretty rare. If this game goes to 10th level, say 4 sessions (8 weeks) per level. Say we have 8 players and each gets 2 attempts per session. My limited arithmeti...

You were playing your character as you set him up. Good stuff. You are now a "head" shorter than you used to be, but good stuff

We offer a no commitment guarantee. The first taste is free!

The addition of Wolfgar got us through in the end! :lol: . Fun session. That was a dicey combat with all of those clerics slinging soundbursts and hold persons around. And of course we ran into a bunch of zombies and coffer corpses right after Wolfgar the cleric headed back to the Iron Hills Now we ...

Not to be too cliche, but to me, the best cover ever for a player's book for a fantasy dungeon delving game is this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/09/PlayersHandbook8Cover.jpg It has everything. Dark dungeon, stone walls, evil serpentine guardians, flaming braziers, two adventurers discu...

Are youse guys playing tonight? Don't like roll20, but I might be willing to game. What's the starting time and what's the starting gold? Many thanks, Rhu. :) It is not a very "macro" intensive game. Just roll yer d20s and look at the map occasionally and you should be good. Start time is...
