Range should be 60ft minimum. More is better, but capping at around 100-150ft isn't absurd (i.e. greater than a safely thrown weapon or packet {otherwise, just throw a thing}, but close enough for someone in the know to yell the damage/effect as appropriate and reasonably be heard) The...

Yep. I tried both, actually. The bungee was too strong for them to keep their shape, or it just didn't fly very far.

8, I think? I might be missing one or two: My first character was an elven rogue. Played him for a year, then moved away. Next was a dwarven bartender. Played him a few months, then moved again. Third was a then-gypsy, now-human rogue, then fighter, then rogue, then scholar, then adept, now...

I played around with a couple designs for siege engines for Oregon. The biggest limiter was range vs impact. I didn't want a siege weapon that only threw its projectile twenty feet or so. The rail sling was built to throw javelins. The issue there was that the javelins either wouldn't fly...

Given that we're playing a game in a made-up world, it is possible for every race to have no makeup requirements. Dark elves? Maybe that refers to their souls, rather than their skin. Sarr? Once you start wearing clothes, fur becomes less necessary. It's easy enough to simply do away with...

Just wanted to say that I'm very disappointed this isn't a thread about Mystic Wood Elves trying to conquer the world. They have no strings, after all.

Generally, when I've had to play more stoically than I might otherwise want to, I treat it as though the event or thing was generally intended to piss me off, and I have to keep a lid on it. It seems to work well enough.

Making a race statistically undesirable can also be a design vector if you want that race to make up a lesser or greater part of your overall populace.

Thanks, will do.

My wife's forum account "Slice" appears to be having issues. It wasn't taking her password, so she attempted to reset using the "lost password" function a number of months back. The new password hadn't worked (it continued to return 'wrong password') and she eventually just went off and did...

We ran a "War Day", in which people could NPC for the Good Guys®, PC as their character starting out on the Good Guys® side, or NPC as normal. At any point, people who PC'd were allowed to swap out to NPC for the Good Guys®. I did my best to warn people that it was intended to be a brutal day...

I may have misunderstood - I thought the idea was PCs used for the event didn't exist prior and would never exist beyond the event. If characters are from another game and continued after the event, then this statement wouldn't seem true: "The event would have no effect on any existing story...

The event has no impact on any prior or ongoing plot... Why should it add to treasure policy?

What is ECL?

#1: The trap body and its trigger are distinct objects that must be connected to one another (Pg 145: The radius effect is measured out from this container even if the trap trigger is in a different location). An example of this might be a trigger on a cord fifteen feet from the body, allowing...

That has not been my experience. My intention isn't to sound like a snooty jerk - this is a thing we've done in both Oregon and Seattle with minimal issue. Our solution was to preprint the tags. What goes out as crunchies shouldn't be a surprise to the plot team, if they operate from a...

Why not just put out treasure that makes sense? On spiders, put out tags that can be used in lieu of coin for alchemy production: "ichor, may be used as 5cp for alchemy production" or some such.

The purpose of this thread to have some fun during the holiday season. Any attempts at too-much-seriousness and scroogery should be dealt with harshly by the Paladins, imo. Pick some of your favorite Rankin/Bass characters (Frosty the Snowman, King Moonracer, Hermy the Dentist Elf, etc.) and...

It'll sound harsh, but in general terms and spread out across a large enough populace, yes. People that treat their staff positions as solely part of their hobby and not as a professional endeavor probably aren't putting forth the same level of effort. At it's simplest terms, my experience of...

(Not quoting Toddo to pick on him in particular, mostly using it as a launching point for discussion.) So, in broad strokes, I disagree here. Yes, LARPing is, on some level, a hobby. And yes, as a form of employment, the pay sucks, but that's okay because the hours are long. But I generally...
