Roll20 is really popular and always has a lot of listings for new games starting up. Be discerning with what games you apply to be a part of as there are apparently many oddballs and flakes littering the place but such is life dealing with nerds. My own experience has been entirely positive - I...

That seems a solid party to me - I can't think of anything of the top of my head that would be immune to all types of spell damage. As you get up the CRs there's plenty stuff that has advantage on saving throws against spells but that also applies to adult dragons and the like. Personally I...

Funny you say that, the mindflayers are opressed onto the endangered species list by the Githyanki after they broke free from their slavery, tore down their Empire and chased them all into hiding. This one all depends on your perspective tho, if you see needing to eat the brains of intelligent...

Its not about making the orc the 'misunderstood savage', its about fleshing out their motivations. Orcs are a nomadic warlike race but that doesn't necessarily make them evil - if you need evil orcs for your players to smash consider why this particular band of orcs are evil; Gruumsh is a...

To be honest any dungeon master worth their salt should write any race like goblins or orcs in their world with this kind of nuance, it makes for a far more interesting experience for players. Updating the official sources is fine imo if not somewhat unnecessary.

As has been said he can only use multiattack OR the breath weapon in a round. A dragon will always open with his breath weapon (its rough, but dragons are dangerous!) then fly out of reach. Greens are intelligent, it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that unless the players have...

I've rolled myself up a master race wizard - much easier to find mobs this morning compared to last night. I ended up doing the entirety of level two off a single decaying gnome skeleton's spawn spot that I found tucked away in a corner.

Theres a mod out there that will restore the original videos into the EE games - the new animations are garbage

Are you getting bored without a forum to run? Considering your distaste for the eqemu population in general (and I'm by no means saying you're wrong in that opinion) I'm surprised to see this coming from you. It depends on your level of ambition for the server - how big a population do you...

Comparing an mmo to online d&d is a bit dumb - despite the fact both are played online they are obviously completely different experiences. Playing on roll20 or whatever is actually a totally worthwhile experience and I can say this as someone who currently dm's a traditional in person game as...

GOG were selling the EE games for £4 a piece so I picked them up to start another play through. As tempting as it is to spend hours adding a dozen different mods I kept it light this time round and only used the Trilogy merge mod and Ascension (seemingly this mod changes up the ending to ToB a...

Disappointing batch of episodes really. While I didn't hate any of them they didn't really shock or appall me in any sense, it was all a bit bland. I do like the continuity in technology across the series as a whole however.

I've been in a solid group on roll20 that's been running for the better part of two years now as well as DMing a game that I advertised and chose randoms for. In the case of the game I play in, it helped that they were already a group of online pals that were looking for an extra so look out for...

My ex of 8 years was exactly the same as this - anytime she came close she would say the same thing and I got the impression she was actively shying away from it. Literally had the same issue with masturbation as well. Ultimately I didn't have the fortitude you did to stick it out and the sex...

Surely one of you nerds with an Amtrak medal can come in here and tell us why you've been unjustly banned. Or better yet, someone from Faceless should pay Ice T again to make a video about it.

You know there'll be BG nerds out there furious about it

You would think 5e would be the obvious choice considering how popular it is - as I burst my tabletop rpg virginity on 5e I'd love to play a D&D video game based on rules I understand. What was going on behind the scenes in BG baffles me.

I wonder if they'll stick with the adapted 2nd ed AD&D rules or if they do something different. Colour me curious - looks like it's time to fire up BG1 for my 1000th attempt to finish it.

Haha, I did this with a few pals and there's still bitter comments 2 years later. I don't care if it's in the rules, a 5 way draw is pussy shit.

The questions in there are strictly rhetorical if that's not obvious!

I knew it'd be a headache wading into this. Cancer was an arbitrary example, poorly chosen in hindsight, I used to make the point that it's a crap shoot to give out drugs with harmful side effects when you can't tell which of the 20 out of 100 kids it'll actually help. Lack of regret on the...

You are fundamentally failing to understand the point everyone is making with regards to this. Let me try again Only 20 out of 100 kids who show signs of GD have this persist through puberty 80 out of 100 kids who show signs of GD can move past this without puberty blockers. Therefore puberty...

Can anyone tell me if I've got this right: 80 kids out of 100 who display signs of GD get over it and become normal again after puberty Puberty blockers are effective at helping the 20 kids out of 100 who display signs of GD and actually have it post puberty There is no conclusive evidence...

Maybe, my money is on the new generation of force users being called 'Skywalkers' with Rey being the first of them. It'll no doubt be garbage.

Where are all the Michael Jordans of eq talking shit at each other? Surely someone has beaten quarm by now?

Its finally happening I see. With the amount of no lifemouth breathers that play on p99 (many of whom are old comrades of mine) this will no doubt be an absolute shit show.

Have you read Best Served Cold? Easily my favourite of his books - probably the most relentlessly brutal. The first book of his sequel trilogy to the First Law is out later this year as well.

Aye, I call them the boredom cigarettes - vaping is probably the way forward for her then, it's not as satisfying as smoking but at least you can do that. I still find myself having a bit of the gum everytime I think 'I'm bored, I want a cigarette' and if you chew it like a normal bit of gum you...

Smoking is a bastard to kick but I found that nicotine gum helps a ton at first. I'd find myself caving when I was drinking but then I just bought a cheap ecigarette to puff on when I'm in the pub to help stave off any bad decision making. Vaping is alright but I would just find myself wishing I...

It's always entertaining seeing how sore people get losing at EQ.

It's even easier now with the advent of digital to have as many screenings as you want compared to 35mm. Before digital cinema there could only ever be so many prints produced for opening day (each print was about a grand) so a large multiplex would get two or 3 prints and then run them along...

Wouldn't bank on it - not been a single word on the on sale date from distribution in the UK; they haven't even opened bookings for exhibitors yet. Edit: this looks absolutely incredible however, I'm not one for getting caught up in hype but I'm fully on board the train for this one.

1. Because we've learned how to bounce light down cables doesn't mean we can invent a better, or cost effective, method of powering our vehicles. 2. This is a matter of perspective - you can guarantee the other side sees it the same way 3. This is a matter of perception; you are aware of the...

Maybe just pay for some sex pal?

How many pretend ships do you own @Faith?

You can absolutely get away with this - the ability to think on your feet and have an immediate answer to just about anythng is invaluable as a DM. However there's a lot to be said for planning and knowing how the mechanics work - how many you use and how strictly you adhere them is pretty much...

Ha, no one is going to stop you with a walking stick or cane - don't believe everything you read. Scotland is well worth a visit, if you only want to do city stuff I'd recommend Edinburgh for the tourist stuff (I live there); the Castle, museums, art gallery, whisky, parliament, Mary King's...

www.thetrove.net has absolutely everything you could ever need for any tabletop role-playing game ever published. Except the EQ one, can't find that anywhere!

I've used roll20 a bunch as both as dm and a player and it's pretty solid. If you pay for the middle tier account as a dm you and all your players get the dynamic lighting feature on your maps, which is pretty cool for the published campaigns but a pain in the tits to create when making your own...

Knowing the people of that earlier, they likely found it hilarious and the local politicians were probably hoping it'd boost tourism.
