Foozles!

HAH!

<t>I was one of the biggest naysayers of the game up until a few days ago.<br/> <br/> I got a look at the books (they are up on torrent sites) and after sifting through it I still think the designers went overboard in trying to cater to the WoW crowd. However, I then have to remind myself that I pla...

serleran wrote: No. I would not pay $14.99 per month to play C&C online. I find online play less than thrilling. Agreed. I set up an online game with some friends around the country and while it had its moments it doesnt compare to the real thing. I can understand wanting to play with friends n...

WOTC to charge $14.99 a month for online play

Someone really needs to go to WOTC headquarters and let them know that online D&D != World of Warcraft.

Get a C&C cake and have a 50/50 shot of being on TV too.

Awesome! Welcome aboard Drawmij!

<t>I sketch out a rough framework of "what's going on" in the PC's neighborhood, create a few important NPC's, then let them loose.<br/> <br/> The PC's then pursue a hook (usually) and from then I improvise the first session, usually tossing a big battle or a few random encounters at them to get the...

Condolences to you and your family. Hope everything works out for you all.

<t>In my new campaign it's going to be all about changing the game world. An ultra-powerful dragon laid waste to the capital city of the equivalent of the Roman Empire in my world and has set himself up as a god there, sending priests of his cult to "spread the word" as it were. It'll be up to the P...

<t>I was in a Fantasy Hero game playing an archer martial artist. I dumped as many points as the GM would allow into Bow skill, range modifiers, etc. One of his flaws that I took was that he was a true martial artist, and that he had a penchant for taking more difficult shots than normal simply for ...

Hatred would imply caring.
That being said, I'm not going to go on some "damn fool idealistic crusade". If our gaming group wants to run it I'll probably buy some books. (once we find a gaming group up here, that is. )

I snagged day one. The wife may or may not get one of the other days for me.

I'd love to get 7th day but finding gamers to use them with up here in this godforsaken wasteland has been problematic
