Café de Nuit

Let's see, house rules... 1.) No spell components--like Rhys said, keeping track of amber rods, jade circlets, pinches of dust, etc. ad nauseum is extremely tedious. We've never used spell components in any campaign I've ever played with, because the guy who introduced me to D&D thought they wer...

I guess campiness really IS in the eye of the beholder. Or the beer-holder. Or whatever. :wink: What I'm getting from everyone--or most everyone--is that Batman Begins portrays the kind of dark, gritty, realistic (however you define it) Batman I've been hoping they'd get back to since the Tim Burton...

PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ME THERE'S NO CAMPINESS!!! :shock: :( Um, you do realize that asking for no campiness in a movie where Batman is the subject/main protagonist is akin to asking for an intelligent, articulate conversation about Drosophilia fruit flies with Paris Hilton, right? Um... wrong, actual...

All right, for anyone who has seen the movie or has just read up on it... No spoilers, but please tell me there's no campy crap in it like there was with "Batman and Robin" (Clooney and O'Donnell). From the trailer, it looks pretty dark and serious, and I've got some pretty high hopes for ...

*smirk* They'd never let me anywhere near Kartakass--I couldn't carry a tune if it had a handle. In fact, my singing voice might be considered a pseudo-magical ability--one that would cause canines within 100' to howl along with me, while repelling all bards, wolfwere or otherwise, who would have to...

This may have already been done to death, but as I'm sometimes absent from these boards for as long as a month at a time, I can't be sure. I got this idea after reading Desdichado's response about being a monk/sage on the "What Domain Would You Want to Live In" thread, so this is sort of a...

I made it to level 10, but apparently I've got the same problem as Corrupted Loremaster--my screen's so dark on that level I can barely see anything. And it's not like the zombies are much more than shadows anyway. Tough to shoot what you can't see... *grumble* :x If I had a tip it would be to play ...

Well, my question would be, why don't the Gazetteers sell well, as compared to the other products? I mean, they include backgrounds on domains, storylines that the populace knows (as well as Dread Possibilities that they don't), stats for important NPCs and darklords... what more could we want? This...

Well, I haven't played D&D as long as most of you, but my friend who usually serves as DM for our group has played for about 15 years (since he was about 13). We've only had one rape occur in the game, but it was in a mini-sidebar gaming session, and the character was actually his human female p...

My bookshelves are actually creaking and groaning under the weight of all the volumes I've packed onto them... and I just can't stop buying and reading more! I'm going mad, I tell you--mad! MAD!! ... ... ... Whew, okay, I'm better now. :wink: Anyway, several favorites: 1.) The Elvenbane (author's na...

Well, here goes nothing. My thoughts really are that someone who is genuinely, truly evil is not capable of love. When so-called "love" is motivated by self-interest--as I think all evil individuals are--then I can't call it "love." That's why I think only the second poll item is...

This is a little disconcerting--I haven't bought from RPGNow yet (I'd intended to ask around here and see what kinds of experiences others have had), but I'd intended to.

What kinds of errors did you get? Were you able to download the ESD you wanted?

I'm a little nontraditional, and tend to like to "pump up" monster encounters to match powerful PCs rather than restrict the players on what they can play. I play more than I DM, but here are a few guidelines I typically use for Ravenloft: 1.) No evil alignments. Good is preferred, and neu...

First PC I ever created, a 1st-level cleric of Odin. There was this bar fight that was supposed to get the various characters in the group arrested, thrown in jail, and then sent out on a mission for the city council as "amends" for the fight (the dungeon, of course). My cleric died in the...

I think you mean that they cannot magically close their borders. Ivan could send some soldiers to patrol the borders and Malken could arrange for some thugs to patrol his borders also. But then you only need to escape the patrols. Yes, MAGICALLY being the key word. Ivan could indeed send some of hi...
