  1. That game was decent, never played expansions or the second game. It had MANY side quests, which of course I HAD to complete. In the end, I was bored with the NPC killing more than my wizard. I'm a decent DM, but I'm just about to start playing Guild Wars, so no thank you.

  8. I don't agree with your opinions, but I respect you and your opinions nonetheless.
  9. I've got the download finally. I'll try installing the trial version this weekend.
  10. I think we should all remember what Iraq was like under Saddam Husein. These people are dieing for their freedom and we should do all we can to help them. Please direct your venom towards those who are killing the people, Al Queida and all terrorists around the world, instead of the American people who are trying to save them. http://www.usaid.gov/iraq/legacyofterror.html Congress signed off on the war just as much as President Bush, so this is America's war not President Bush's.

    Card Game Ideas

    Continuation of my idea. I loosely base some of the room, room levels, and final boss concepts on the Order of the Stick Game. Too complicated? Not interesting? Whatever? 1. You can easily multiply the numbers by a thousand to follow other card standards. 2. The concept is to enter a room, defeat the challenge, and repeat. If the players cannot defeat the challenge, then the players retreat and possibly try another path, with the option to defeat the challenge later. Visited rooms that are cleared remain empty. Each room runs horizontal for eight cards with a stair card randomly selected. Draw from the monster/trap card pile a number of times equal to the level you're on. The number of levels is agreed upon at the beginning. The bottom level has special boss monsters with attack, defense, health, and abilities based on level. Once the main boss monster is defeated, the artifact is won. 3. Treasure is given based on the level of monster or challenge defeated. After so many levels of monsters or challenges defeated the characters can trade in the experience points for a permanent bonus. 4. All characters survive an encounter as long as one survives by defeating the encounter or escaping. Characters can leave the dungeon at any time to fully heal and requip at the nearby town, but the dungeon is repopulated and starts anew, though the map of rooms remains. 5. Four different classes: Cleric, Fighter, Rogue, Wizard. Cards can only be used by all classes or only a subset. Example: Wizard can't use a fighter's greatsword; Fighter can't use a wizard's wand of magic missiles. 2. Cards are separated into five piles, one for each class and one general pile. Item cards can only be purchased from NPCs or found on monsters after they have been defeated. The class cards are special abilities, feats, and techniques (bonuses to attack, defense, skill, special) that a character can use to overcome a challenge. 3. Each player starts with a starting package of equipment cards appropriate for the class chosen. Example equipment cards. Armor: (Defense in most card games) Cleric: Chainshirt (+4 armor) Fighter: Chainshirt (+4 armor) Rogue: Leather armor (+2 armor) Wizard: Robes (+0 armor, can't go around naked ) Weapons: (Attack or Damage in most games) Fighter: Greatsword (+12 damage, melee); Longbow (+8 damage, ranged) Cleric: Morningstar (+8 damage, melee); Crossbow (+8 damage, ranged) Rogue: Dagger (+4 damage, melee); Shortbow (+6 damage, ranged) Wizard: Quarterstaff (+4 damage, melee); Wand of Magic Missiles (+4 damage, ranged) Arcane: (Single-use bonuses to attack or skills) Fighter: Potion of True Strike (+20 damage on next attack) Cleric: Charm Person (1 monster attacks another on next attack) Rogue: Potion of invisibility (+20 damage on next attack; sneak attack) Wizard: Scroll of Spider Climb (+4 damage (height); overcomes climbing challenges) Divine: (Single-use bonuses to defense or skills) Fighter: Potion of Cure Light Wounds (+6 health) Cleric: Scroll of Sanctuary (Cannot be attacked for one round) Rogue: Potion of Friendship (NPC sells equipment at half cost) Wizard: Potion of Mage Armor (+4 to armor)

    Card Game Ideas

    Simple idea based on D&D 4th edition rumors. Multiple players versus random monsters in dungeon in search of artifact or random quest objective. Not fully fleshed out. Flesh it out if you're interested. Action and Defense card types: equipment, martial, divine, arcane. Equipment: bonuses to attack monster, or skill check against NPCs, puzzles and traps. Martial: Physical attack; melee or ranged. Bonuses to encounter effects. Divine: Protection, buff, or healing effect. Bonuses to encounter effects. Arcane: Magical attack; melee or ranged. Bonuses to encounter effects. Room: bonus or penalty to particular types of action and defense cards, NPCs/monsters/puzzles/traps. Encounter cards: NPCs, Monsters, Puzzles and Traps. NPCs: pay treasure for bonus on next monster/puzzle/trap or buy equipment. Monsters: attack monsters. Puzzles and traps: disable or overcome traps. Play Computer: Draw a room and encounter card. Players: Play cards to overcome encounter. Resolve round. Add/Subtract hit points. Repeat until encounter is resoled.
  14. My doctors type out the prescriptions.
  15. Seriously, the guy playing the girl in the horribly rehashed version of Thriller was the worst part. It did make me laugh though!
  16. I believe Clinton first testified:
  17. Jab me with it! Did I really just say that?
  18. She probably got them to agree to some much needed vacation time so she wouldn't be burnt out for the next few years. Honestly, she's the life support of the series. I was going to stop watching the series just before the announcement that she joined up. I patiently waited for this next season and I'm hoping that I'm not disappointed.

    Miss Me?

    Welcome back. I can't believe you dragged yourself back in after escaping. Do you have a map out of here? I've been lost in here for months and I'm starting to get hungry.
  20. Communication is key, keep up the good work!
  21. My kids would destroy Pleo. He doesn't run away fast enough. X'D
