  1. But basicly, you bent the rules in order to kill off a PC you didnt like?
  2. But the 3.5 rules doesnt allow for the forceful insertion of such an item into the rectal canal of a a living creature, they are simply too abstract. And if it says the wand does XD6 damage then you roll XD6, no matter in what orifice said wand may be lodged at the moment as long as the appropriate end is still held by the caster " ..and I would just like to add out of nowhere that the D&D game Im playing is getting worse by the minute. The PC's are killing eachother like mad and I was just inches away from being todays victim
  3. Then youre probably very sensitive to it, the music class at my school went to Prague and they bought buckets of the stuff and none of it was "real". Czhechia is very hyped regarding their absinth but you can buy the exact same stuff at grocery stores in spain/portugal :D
  4. This is my basic advice for a typical "no-brainer" D&D dungeon crawl, people can and have written books on the subject so Ill try to be as brief as possible. Creating enemies - (low leveled, level 3-5) D&D's challenge rating system makes this very simple, just pick undead creatures from the books whose challange rating code doesnt say theyre too hard for the PC's. More seasoned players might complain if theyre facing opponents that are too simple. If youre basing your EXP handout on what the PC's have killed you need to watch out aswell, they wont get much from low-level opponents. How to best describe areas There the moody version "the chamber is lit by a single torch, mold clings to the walls like rust on some ancient machine.." Or the quick and concise version for impatient, action-hungry players "the room is about 10x10meters with doors to the north and west" you could use a drawn-up map and grid system too if you like it but then it will be more like youre playing warhammer than an RPG How to make use of the PC's abilities Adapt the adventure to them, make sure you create obstacles they can use their abilities to overcome. Try and make sure every PC has something to do and a usable function to fill. Let the rogue sneak, the wizard read the ancient runes and the ..well, the fighter is always guaranteed to be occupied in a dungeon crawl adventure. Things to NOT DO as a DM Dont actively try and kill the players, the game is supposed to be fun for everyone and the death of PC's makes noone happy. Accept that your villains are there for the PCs to defeat. Dont feel bad when they find some quick way to dispatch of the evil mage you spent 4 hours making up stats for. Its not you vs. the players. Youre telling their story, not your own. Dont be rules lawyer, improvise. Things Encouraged as a DM Try to be original and unpredictable in planning your adventure, FedEx quests always become boring the third time around. Adjust the adventure after the players to maximise their fun. Improvise, improvise, improvise. That was a lot shorter than I had planned but Ive got to bugger off and pickup a parcel.
  5. Frank Zappa - You are what you is Do you know what you are? You are what you is You is what you am A cow don't make ham You ain't what you're not So see what you got You are what you is An' that's all it 'tis A foolish young man From a middle class fam'ly Started singin' the blues 'Cause he thought it was manly Now he talks like the Kingfish From Amos 'n Andy He tells you that chitlins . . . Well, they taste just like candy He thinks that he's got De whole thang down From the Nivea Lotion To de Royal Crown Do you know what you are? You are what you is You is what you am A cow don't make ham You ain't what you're not So see what you got You are what you is An' that's all it 'tis A foolish young man Of the Negro Persuasion Devoted his life To become a caucasian He stopped eating pork He stopped eating greens He traded his dashiki For some Jordache Jeans He learned to play golf An' he got a good score Now he says to himself "I aint no n i g g e r no more"
  6. ..and Sweden isnt overrated. I dont think its rated at all, actually
  7. My first post was like: "-Dude?" and then like Nurbs replied "-Yeah, you friggin 'tard?."
  8. Fioanva..FIonvar...Finardvark...Finodakark.. whatever.. anyway, youre like the blueberry jam in a blueberry muffin (Fio may or may not keep most of his spam in the mod forum..although I wouldnt know that because Im not a mod ..no sir!)
  9. Say what you will about our friends the dane but I will never understand how all those ****&porn-shops by that street by the railway station can survive. (Ive been to Christianian in "the good old days" I ate a burger and read a book about soviet propaganda posters on the roof of some kiosk) Its not actually original Absinth, that is illegal everywhere except in certain 3rd world countries where they dont even know what it is and have bigger issues to worry about. Its illegal because it contained ludicrously high amounts of a substance called "Tujon"(from the wormwort) which is similar to cannabis. Todays Absinth contains only a fraction of that substance and not nearly enough to cause hallucinations or delirium(that real absinth did)
  10. Oh, that's just like you danes.. we're on the brink of war and all you can think of is drinking beer? :D (cheers)
  11. So basicly.. Sony's own designers har run out of ideas and are now clutchin for straws? This sounds alot like wehn Limp Bizkti was "Looking for a replacement guitarist" by touring the US and auditioning players. Only, you had to sumbit a song of your own that then became legal property of LB (you had to sign a contract whose smallprint transferred the rights to the song to them). They collected enough material for 10 albums and then hired a friend as new guitarist anyway
  12. Thats doesnt quite sound like a serious way to deal with the problem of overpowered PC's. The GM should never set out with the goal of "getting" the party, that is not fair or fun in the least. Either you adjust the adventure after the power of the PC's or you tell the players they have to adjust their characters.
  13. Oh, Hiya Dave! Havent seen you for a while
  14. I find it a bit odd that it was the offender who dumped the victim. I mean, did she expect you to like being bitten in the *** ?
  15. I dont quite understand, is Entropia a game thats is about paying real money to get game money so you can buy things? Or is it just some dingbat players who buy in-game property for real money a la everquest?
  16. You mean its adds the ending they didnt bother with in Hl2 itself?
  17. The 1st Revolution unti sold will actually include M
  18. Your group is in the ages 13-14 correct? I would say that you will simply have to allow these kinds of things in order for the players to get it out of their system so they will realise its bad and begin to play more seriously when they get older. I mean, the first character I ever created for an RPG was an indestrictible cyborg with a giant tubolaser cannon for Mutant(classic swedish cyberpunk game). And in Drakar&Demoner me and a friend played giants who started a hockey tournament where we played against dragons and minotaurs
  19. The idea is cool, but it still looks like a friggin 1980's stereo remote control..
  20. Well, the issue here is "not enough profit". I mean, as long as youre making a profit, how small it may be, you have no reason to close down the shop. Its just logic. ..but logic doesnt seem popular with people who think with their stock portfolios
  21. Theyre surprisingly honest if they give out such information. Youd expect Sony and MS to just claim "Its 100% backwards compatible" and then just ignore the complaints when it shows that it wasnt true.
  22. Does it have boobies?
  23. I once stabbed a man to death with a pocket protector. "
  24. Metallica were ancient history 5 years ago... (so the correct term is "they sucked" ..past tense)
  25. Theyve got the #1 selling RPG of all time and it still isnt profitable enough? Haha, these corporate types should be taken out and shot for the good of humanity
