    Pre-Event Meal?

    I usually try to be good and have a decent meal a couple of hours before heading up the mountain, but inevitably that doesn't work out and I end up grabbing a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box just before leaving civilization.

    Pre-Event Metal

    Pre-event metal? Not so much these days. Rammstein is probably the closest. Other artists I may or may not listen to to get 'in the mood', as it were: Déanta VNV Nation :Wumpscut: Apolcalyptica And a few specific songs... Drowning Pool - Bodies Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff Phoenyx - March of...

    Spells and Levels

    "Healed to full by X" already exists in the game, so I don't understand the objection on those grounds.

    Making a visit

    Hi Paul, While Oakland is problematic for me, I can certainly help you out with a ride to site/SJ airport. Let me know ASAP if it's going to be for March. -Dan

    Celestial versus Earth: beyond spell choices

    Nope. Chaos opposes both Earth and Order.

    Class Question

    Tyler, I can state with fair certainty that in SF your class and/or skill composition are going to matter far less than how you interact with other PCs when it comes to whether or not you will be included on a given adventure. The majority of our characters/groups are pretty inclusive as long...

    Potion Phys Rep

    I do remember those discussions, but they're hardly definitive and the rule still states that the item needs to be large enough to contain the stated volume of liquid within. I suppose the bottom line is that it, like many things, will vary by chapter. Your chapter may do as it will, but I don't...

    Potion Phys Rep

    ARB 104: Wraith, Orc, your math for calculating the space-filling volume of an object is correct but space-filling volume is not applicable in this situation. You see, the rule as stated requires that the container be large enough to contain 0.25 fluid ounces, not fill 0.25 fluid ounces worth...

    Howl of Remembrance

    (Or have it in their sig file, or as their account name, as most (if not all) of these people do.)

    Favorite editorial cartoons: June 2011

    Let me clarify: Whatever your gripe is, you've abused your privileges as a board administrator to call someone out for a private report, and you need to not have those privileges any longer.

    Favorite editorial cartoons: June 2011

    Respectfully, this gs the point where I feel compelled to ask Robb to step down or to ask someone with the ability to do so to remove him. Publicizing other players' reports is both unprofessional and unacceptable, no matter what the context.

    Magic Item Questions

    Mike, Perhaps this is something to be discussed for codifying? It sounds like a neat idea, but at the moment there *is* no given standard for tag colors. In SF we use green, blue, yellow, and/or white tags, depending on the application. It sounds like some chapters may use purple and/or orange...

    What causes (or prevents) death (resurrecting) IG?

    I didn't mean to imply that you did; I was just restating it explicitly. Sorry for the confusion. :oops:

    What causes (or prevents) death (resurrecting) IG?

    Unfortunately, NPCs don't have the market cornered on these things. In the case of PCs, the same factors tend to combine to prevent resurrections.

    What causes (or prevents) death (resurrecting) IG?

    In my experience three things account for how likely a given group of PCs is to resurrect more than anything else: 1. How well the players are prepared for the encounter 2. How well plot takes variables into account when scaling the encounter 3. How closely the marshals are watching 1 and 2...

    Timer Counter?

    Check laboratory supply vendors. We use three channel timers that can be preprogrammed with different settings; I'm sure you can find some with more or less. For example, this one from Fischer Scientific. Now that I think about it, I'm sorely tempted to acquire one of these for myself.

    Wand Physreps!

    I must have missed the part of the rulebook that says "no wands made from sticks". Is that in some addendum somewhere? My poor gypsy will be heartbroken.

    Redefining and Reviewing

    For that matter, if MI proliferation is where the bulk of the problem stems from (and that's what it really sounds like to me, reading back through the thread) then why are we talking about fixing it with a skill rewrite? Shouldn't we be looking at the relative importance of magic items...

    Redefining and Reviewing

    I don't like the idea of replacing verbals with numbers and effects; while spell verbals may not be the most immersive part of the system I think doing *anything* that mandates even more OOGness is a significant disservice to the game. "I call forth 20 flame!" I mean, really? Is that the best...
