A Land Far Away

paazin,

You asked for a list of things that would be nice to see on BG...

Disguise Kit (+2 disguise)
caltrops
portable Ram (+2 Str against breaking down doors)
Climbers Kit (+2 to climb)
Spiked Gauntlet (1d4 small light piercing)
Merchants scale (+2 appraise when based on weight)

Trying to set up the time for this to happen. BHM said he can run it today at 23:30 GMT sharp. I'm generally free anytime, unless its early, unless dealing with a tenant, unless I need to do something with the kids and unless my wife wants me to do something else.

Word around taverns from Beregost to Nashkel speak of gruesome findings along the roads. Charred remains of men as well as ogres littered the sides of the roads in several locations. A few travelers even claim to have seen one burnt corpse hanging by rope upside down from a tree. Rumour also has it,...

Behold....Thorin Oakenshield

i LOVE the way bombur looks! he was the one i was looking forward to seeing the most. i also like how gloin and gimli have a definite family resemblance and choice in weapons :D they just posted this on peter jackson's facebook: http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/07/15/time-exclusive-first-look-at-balin...

I think the hobbit is going to be a great chance for them to flesh out the dwarven style that was so poorly limited to gimli in lotr. the only other dwarves you see are dead and the two others at the council. I'm more interested in seeing how they decide to differenciate the realm of mirkwood from ...

First attempt to make dwarves sexy I would say.

Anyone have any thoughts about what effect the depiction of the dwarves will have on pop culture? Will there be a rash of new Dwarven PC's across the various games out there? Heres a shot of 5 of the dwarves from the upcoming films. http://www-images.theonering.org/torwp/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/D...

Travelers walking the road from Beregost to Nashkel, or those who stay at nearby taverns, will hear of a battle that occurred right on the road itself. The battle was between a band of highwaymen led by a large ogre and by dark clad and cloaked figure, who fought with two blades. According the story...

I'm usually around, but I'm not sure if Drake qualifies as low level anymore

Is this the place to go to when requesting DM time on BG? if so I would ever so enjoy some DM time for my group (of one)

everyone just roll lesbian elves and be done with it

Why disallow or kick out those who don't make a fuss, don't post constantly and don't garner any attention since they do plain old vanilla RPing? Nobody has suggested doing any of this. So if we switch do adults only, what happens when a 14 year member lets it slip that he or she is said age? nothi...

I get the impression by some that they've felt they're being held back by current standards? In which case, why change ALFA when one could try someplace else where everything goes? Why disallow or kick out those who don't make a fuss, don't post constantly and don't garner any attention since they d...
