Hey Everyone, ASUS is holding a giveaway for some free computers and tablets for small businesses who can show a real need. An FLGS in my town is trying to win them to upgrade their gaming network and Point of Sale system. The place does card games, hosts LAN tourneys and has 2 large rooms dedicated to table top RPGs like D&D, C&C, Fiasco, Pathfinder and even miniatures battles like Warmachine etc. They're a super great store and have been very receptive to my efforts to run 4E games there with table space any time I like at no charge. They host weekly Encounters and Lair Assaults in a dedicated room. They've even kept the store open past closing time so we could finish an especially tense adventure! If you could just click this link and hit VOTE, it would really help a ton. Thanks! promos.asus.com/techupgradecontest/entry...

Voted. Good luck!
Here are the PHB essentia, in my opinion: - Three Basic Rules (p 11)
- Power Types and Usage (p 54)
- Skills (p178-179)
- Feats (p 192)
- Rest and Recovery (p 263)
- All of Chapter 9 [Combat] (p 264-295)
A player needs to read the sections for building his or her character -- race, class, powers, feats, equipment, etc. But those are PC-specific. The above list is for everyone, regardless of the race or class or build or concept they are playing.

I've replaced the previous Edition Warring line in my sig with this one, because honestly, everybody needs to work together to make the D&D they like without trampling on somebody else's D&D.

Ha! Yeah, they're pretty much agnostic when it comes to edition (which I think is good for a FLGS) and a few guys doing Pathfinder have recently started up a weekly game there. The guys and gals at this store really are friendly to everyone no matter what your game. Their main RPG draws are definitely Encounters and Lair Assault. My first experience there was at the Red Box game day a few years ago and they had an awesome turnout. They've been doing a lot more Warmachine lately too but I don't know much about that. They'll basically do whatever people are interested in. They have pretty big Magic tournaments every week too.

You are not a moral man. There are not enough middle fingers in the world for you.
Actually, Santa just didn't like you. However, you weren't on the Naughty List, so he had to give you something "better" than coal.
I'd take coal. Heating your house is expesive, and engery cost arn't going down.
Mabey if i beat enough homeless people, i won't have to be cold this year. 
"Heroes"...I wish I had those. I remember in my first-ever campaign one PC went around shootin all the unconscious baddies in the head to gain Dark Side Points...
Whaaaaaat?!??

(Quotes screwed up on the next one, won't give the poster's name. It's in the Best Lines thread on the D&D forum)
First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

Cut the last encounter on your way out after dealing with the Darth. He's the BBEG. Treat him as such. Play up that Darth Revan is THAT much of a badarse. When the shuttle landed, I had no less than 13 JEDI MASTERS step off the shuttle. The PCs were slack-jawed. After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that. 
There's so much you can do with insanity, especially when it has alot of resources.
1. Cleric cast protection from fire on Tank.
2. Tank goes in and get surrounded by enemies.
3. Wizard cast fireball and blows them up.
4. ???
5. Profit
I go by the saying," If it ain't friendly fire then it's not working."
