The Gaming Den

I'd make go on a quest the second from the left, that way the PCs can 'lose' a little bit and only have to pay the cost of going on an adventure. Your setup makes them want to lose harder so they don't have to give up any power. My setup is of course arbitrary and it roughly scales by time invested...

song: Hot Limit by John Desire

And another track for something the king gets from you:
Nothing! <---> Money <---> Magic Item <---> Go on a Quest <---> Swear Fealty

Needs Atonement at level 1 with no XP cost for the paladin and perhaps a limit on atonement frequency for a particular character.

From what I have seen, the Lady of Pain is a designer and DM penis extension one hundred percent. It may be because of where I've read about her-namely the WotC message boards when I went there-but all I've seen of her is "lol you get flayed/mazed" "lol no u can't do dat LoP iz dere!...

Last time I checked, only the snogger article was b&.

it's all a giant drama-llama-fest where Mama LoP is trying to keep her bickering offspring from hurting each other (and you know that rascally Asmodeus, he's such a sweet boy when he's playing with his older cousin Heironious and they go around enforcing broken laws, but he just can't help getting ...

Nope. ... Still sounds like penis-waving. 'My city is so awesome that not even ALL THE GODS CAN CONQUER IT MUAHAHA'. Um... yeah? The Lady reacts to 1) worshiping her 2) planar war on the streets 3) killing dabus, and the perpetrators are either v& or b& IRL. This is all quite understandable...

Tthe most important strategic location in the game world, if it should exist and be known, has to stay unconquered by any conflicting forces through the whole history of the game world. With (T = inf) and (N conflicting forces = over 9000), the neutral force controlling it has to be quite impressive...

Influental as in "the world wouldn't be the same without him", not as in "ordering people around". So you could say the poll sort of reflects reality, selection bias and ballot stuffing taken into account.

Cat abuse is serious business, though.

Wat. I've read the policy and it concerns Magic. The definition of Customer in the text is "someone who buys Magic for personal use". Probably trying to fight foil weighters or something. Good luck with that, yeah, but what does it have to do with books?

PMS is bullshit, along with female hysteria. Menstruation, in addition to obvious concerns, can be painful like beind repeatedly stabbed in the stomach with a blunt knife. It being over is a cause for seeing lollipops and rainbows everywhere, not for bitching.

-Armour Has a Temp HP value. -When worn, the wearer gets that value. -If the armour is damaged in combat, it will "re-set" once combat is over, to it's original maximum. -If an armour is damaged until it is at 0 hp; then when it "re-sets" the total armour that it can now provide...

Wizard 1, Martial Weapon Proficiency. Be a LA+0 outsider instead for the proficiencies and alter self cheese. What about the party wizard? Can he bust out the full plate? Wearing fullplate starts to be a suboptimal choice at some point. As a DM, I disallow newbs when they ask for yet another option...

When I started playing D&D (AD&D 1e, for the record), Baldur's Gate was big, which made lots of people familiar with the setting to some extent. It's also a ripoff of LotR, which makes it easier to relate to. The Drizzt books are still popular, at least 100 years after first printing. And Wi...

In fact, we can define an "elementary permutation" as a sequence of n items chosen from a set of n different items (which means there are E(n) = n! possible EPs) A B C D E F G H . . . . . . . . to -- example . . . . . . . . E C F B H A D G and think of any given permutation (example, k=5: ...

2. Combinations without repeats. We have an assortment of n different items (A B C D E F G H) and have to select a set of k of these items. The order in which we select items is now irrelevant. A mental experiment (as in Permutations) generates a sequence of elements, where A B C D E, C D B A E and ...

Intermission.

0! is defined as 1 as a generalization. P(n, n) should for obvious reasons equal n*(n-1)*(n-2)*(n-3)*...*3*2*1, and the formula gives us n!/(n-n)!. Thus 0! = 1.

1. Permutations (without repeats). We have an assortment of n different items (A B C D E F G H) and have to select a sequence of k of these items (where k<=n, obviously). n=8, k=5 A B C D E F G H -- 8 items to choose from 1 2 3 4 5 . . . . . -- the sequence, currently empty So we choose the first it...
