[quote="Dragonmaster Zoc"]If there was a weight inside, wouldn't you be able to hear it? It would definitely be noticeable if somone picked it up, but if the weight is audible then the die would be virtually useless.[/quote] The weight doesn't move, it's encased in plastic (the die). And if the die...

[quote="devlin1"]I've seen loaded d20s for sale before -- Game Towne has 'em, I believe.

All the ones I've seen are crap and not truly weighted die,...

~~[quote="devlin1"]~~It's a great game for misogynists with anger issues whose restraining orders won't let them do this for reals.[/quote]

The game could be worse, with a dude being the main character and doing all the slapping. I think I just invented "Wife-beater The Game".

I'm trying to make a loaded die for my DnD game, specifically a d20. I'll first tell you my convoluted plan for making it, then you can tell me a better way. 1) Use a d20 I own, and make a mold around it from some silicon based purple goo (or other mold material, maybe just clay). The material has t...

I love this game. I beat it on super easy, but got wailed on on hard. I showed it to a coworker, and we just laughed.

BTW, the story is the best part. Of course, I skipped it just to get to the slapping.

Thanks a bunch for wasting my time!

[quote="BlanchPrez"]No worries. At the rate we're not getting players, it may be that long before we have enough to start anyway. :P And even if you're not playing, you can still ask any questions you want. So, ask away about Warforged. Chris[/quote] Actually, I was just going to ask if I could pla...

ekomega

~~[quote="Dragonmaster Zoc"]~~Yeah, but it's a local corner of the internet where we could all theoretically run into each other. The laws mandating internet jerk-ery don't kick in for at least another fifty miles.[/quote]

OC is ~~[i]~~full[/i] of jerks.

Well, I'm out. Sorry to disappoint. I was really excited about it. I had a long conversation with one of my players (who is my girlfriend) which basically made it clear what a piece of shit I'd be if I just bailed on my friends/players without giving them a shot to address and fix our group's proble...

If the choice is between a house where we can't move (or eat?), and a big office with nice chairs, then I vote for the office. But again, wait a few days for my vote to count. And I think I know someone (or two) to invite from my group. How's character creation going to go? And do I need to own the ...

~~[quote="Dragonmaster Zoc"]~~
If you drop out of the game you're DMing, maybe one of your players wants to come with you?[/quote]

Maybe. The thought had crossed my mind.

ekomega

[quote="devlin1"]Yeah, that's about the right of it. There's a similar running theme in our 3.5 game: Like a medieval fantasy Pulp Fiction, it's repeatedly made clear to us that there's always someone out there who's more of a bad-ass than we are. It doesn't matter what we do -- we're literally [i]...

ekomega

Are you guys set on the 8 hours time frame? 12-8 is a little grueling for me. It covers lunch AND dinner, and I'm not a big snacker. Of course, I don't matter unless I join the group, but I was wondering. I talked with my group, and am mulling it over. I am seriously considering not being their DM a...

I-III are up.

According to Penny Arcade, everything will be taken down this Sunday so that people can buy a DVD. So watch it while you can.

ekomega

[quote="BlanchPrez"]Personally, I don't think it really matters. It's a fantasy RPG. If he wants a busty dragonborn, more power to him. Chris[/quote] Which stat is maximum boobage? There's obviously Charisma, but I thought maybe Constitution as well, since you have to have a lot of fortitude and ba...

ekomega

[quote="devlin1"]Huh. That's pretty good. And it's hardly even underhanded at all! To be honest, I do have a slight twinge of doubt about his plan -- I could pretty easily be screwed over, although we've talked on the phone and he sounds like a decent enough guy -- so it's not like it's [i]complete...

ekomega

~~[quote="Dragonmaster Zoc"]~~Not to be contrary, or shoot down a character idea out of hand, but I'm fairly certain that mammaries are exclusive to mammals. I'm pretty sure it's part of the definition, actually.[/quote]

I thought so, too, until I looked at the PHB.

ekomega

I may be interested, except my other game (that I DM) is also every other week, on Saturday. This may require more scheduling than I am prepared for.

What's the game going to be about?

I want to play a Dragonborn Warlord with maximum reptile boobage.

I know the convention's only a week away, but that seems pretty harsh. I saw a guy sell the box for Xbox (but not the Xbox itself) for a couple hundred bucks on Ebay. The auction clearly said "Xbox box, but no Xbox", although now that I write that, it could still be confusing. I recently r...

As for 4E itself, some problems have crept up in my group's game and 4E is the answer. The problems are a cleric who feels burdened by healing, a player who likes to play his character wrong and demand healing from the cleric, and everyone else being upset that one character is a powergamer and is b...

ekomega

Can they be sold-out completely? I doubt it. I would suggest calling the organizers, or the convention center, and seeing how many tickets they will be selling at the door. The line will be long, but I have no doubt you will be able to get in. I don't think they've ever turned anyone away. As for me...

ekomega

Alignments don't matter in 4E anyway. :P

Anybody else go to the beach, and notice the abundance of drinking and smoking, particularly right in front of police officers? It seems they didn't care at all in OB, even when people had large, illegal campfires. The news had tales of citations for the recently banned activities, but I definitely ...

Please explain. Thanks!

The 4E core books have official updates/errata. Here's the link:

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/updates

They were pretty fast on that.

ekomega

I've been happier with the content on the website in the past two days than any other time since they announced 4E. Finally they seem to be keeping their promises. They say the next few months of Dungeon/Dragon will be free, so they have time to prove it. If they keep things up the way they just sho...

[quote="devlin1"]There really isn't a "setting," per se -- more like the suggestion of a setting. They talk in vague terms about an empire called Nerath that fell about 100 years ago, and whose ruins dot the landscape.

Swordmage is in Forgotten Realms book, and is neat. If I didn't hate FR, I'd buy the book just for the class. PHB2 is supposed to showcase the "primal" power source, so I guess that means druids, sorcerers, barbarians and maybe bards? I'm not sure, except for druids. Sorcerer is supposed t...

Multi-classing is pretty much destroyed. It's only dual-classing, and it's not really. It's not bad, but it's nothing like any previous edition. This is good, though, because this edition really emphasizes specific roles, and giving too many powers from another class would blur the lines between rol...

How does it work exactly? Do you download the games, and can only access them as long as you subscribe, or what?

I notice their ads have a lot of old console games. Do you get an emulator, etc.?

Homeless gnomes? How about gnomes with no racial feats? They need help more than homes.

[quote="devlin1"]Did you download the updated one? The one with the correctly spelled name and the Inspiring Word power? Not that it sounds like you needed more healing....

Okay, my regular group played through the beginning of KotS as a test run of 4E. We were roleplaying-light, and got through 4 encounters (IIRC). The current cleric (in 3.5) said she really liked the new cleric, particularly because her current cleric does nothing but heal constantly. Everyone liked ...

Since I play in Eberron, there is no point in buying the 4E books until I see what the 4E Eberron material is. Also, we are in the middle of a campaign. But when the 4E Eberron material arrives next year, I fully expect to purchase all the 4E stuff that is Core and Eberron. Amazon will still have th...

Demonoid is pulling/has pulled the files. But Chaos Wasteland (and practically everyone else) still has them up.

Somebody run a game this weekend! I want to create a dwarf warlord from the PHB.

On this note, watch this hilarious video about piracy:

It's funny, because I really want to buy the books after reading them for free. I hate spending the money and I like all my 3.5 stuff, but I really like what they've done with the new edition. I won't buy them until Eberron comes out next year, but this pre-release has guaranteed a sale. I wonder if...

ekomega

I saw one picture of a guy with books, but that's not where the PDFs came from. They are likely the print masters, based on the quality, the date on the files (3/10/08), and other information. I can't believe these people would do this. They'll get in trouble. But we might as well reap the rewards.

ekomega

All THREE 4th Edition core rulebooks are now available on Bit Torrent sites. I know they are on Demonoid and on Chaos Wasteland. I linked to Chaos Wasteland on a thread awhile back.

The BEST part -- they are official OEFs. Download them NOW.

And you're welcome.

ekomega

[quote="devlin1"]Etc.[/quote] Thanks for the input. I want to run at least part of KotS with my current group, because I hope to shift to 4th Edition eventually. Since we run Eberron, it probably won't be until those books come out next year unless they clamor for it. The problem is that my group s...

I know you didn't play KotS, but how the hell are the...

Also, of note, the half-elf is missing a daily power, and Mike Mearls (of WotC) says to allow him to pick one of any of the other party members dailies and to use it as written.

FYI, the WotC website has a 6th character sheet, for a Tiefling Warlord, available for download. Also, they present an alternate skill challenge for the final encounter of the adventure.
