Z, generally I agree with you. But it also depends on the bar and the people that go there. The problem with the "not all drunks are nuisances" is that if you wait til people are a problem to make the arrest, you have a problem. If you make the arrest before people are a problem, you don't...

Just FYI peeps, these laws apply in almost EVERY STATE IN THE NATION. In CA, it's a subset of Disorderly Conduct. Your very own Hanged Man has, indeed, been popped for it in his youth. [br][br]Most states don't use it aggressively, however, b/c it's not worth the effort. In CA, we set up "churc...

D&D has incredibly cool things going for it compared to other systems.[br][br]First, it's D&D. It just is. I will always buy the 4.x, 5.x, and so on. So will all of my geeky friends, and some of my non-geeky friends. They could quite print random words, put "D&D" on the cover, ...

Thanks, Mr. Weasel!

Sounds fun. Did it ever get started?

So I was gone for a while. Can someone fill me in on what this is about?

yeah, point buy is the worst method for generating ability scores. Except for all the others.[br][br]The pre-determined array is IMX the fairest way to do things, in that min-maxing isn't so dominant but you still get some control over total scores. The only problems is that I hate it as a player, a...

Is "boring and lame" really a depth?

Isn't DC the real problem w/ the Artificer anyway? That's the main reason the Artificer IMC isn't all that happy w/ the class, it's hard to get use save or dies b/c the save DC he can get are kinda mundane.

C'mon, Frank. The "fragmented" gaming community started basically the instant the second person bought Dungeons and Dragons. Everybody's played their own game since then, and nobody I've ever played with cared much what Gygax had to say about anything. [br][br]And it's not like Traveller o...

Don't forget the psychiatrist . . .

I like the fact that our contests are more about figuring out what combinations are so obviously overpowered that they shouldn't be allowed than actually putting together a build.

Yay us.

I'm w/ Boulie. I feel that voting in those contests turns them from meaningless popularity contests into something that vaguely recognizes interesting and powerful builds. If I don't vote, and others don't vote, it's just the local yahoos messing around.

I just looked at the contest. Except for Neeek, I kept wondering how they all got such mediocre Diplomacy scores. . .

I'm just glad it wasn't a certain notorious and . . . disturbing picture Frank discussed a while back . . .
