Let me know what you think of this. Darkbreed Hyren CR 10
Subvert (Sp): The darkbreed hyren can attempt to subvert another hyren 4 times per day. This ability functions identically to Dominate Monster but can only be used against creatures of the dragon type. The targeted dragon must make a DC 22 Willpower saving throw to avoid the effects of this ability. If the target makes the saving throw then it is immune to that particular darkbreed hyren's Subvert ability for 24 hours. Darkbreed hyrens are perhaps the most reviled and hated breed of hyren in the Moonlands. This is principally because of their ability to mentally control other hyrens and force them to do their bidding. The original darkbreed hyrens were created when Core magi stole the eggs of a monarch hyren and exposed them to the evils of The Core, thus twisting and warping them into the creature they are today. Darkbreed hyrens often find service as mounts for high ranking Core nobles.
Playing favorites will not be a problem. Two of the players are guys I have thrown dice with before, but that's it. One of the others is the DM for our weekly D&D Encounters game, and another is a girl who just started showing up to Encounters this week and is joining because she wants to play a catfolk character. The other three players are friends of one of the first two, but I have only communicated with them on-line.
So starting next week, I will be running a campaign for seven players. I have never run a game for a group that big, and I have only played in one group that is that size. That group had twelve players and that seemed rather unwieldy. So what I want to know is how would you run a game for a group that big, and just how big is too big?
Iceberg Hyren CR 3
Ice Stride (Ex): Iceberg hyren's do not have to make an acrobatics check when moving at more than half speed, running, or charging on ice. Iceberg hyrens prowl the cold polar regions of the Moonlands. Living in small packs like orcas or wolves, they share traits of both creatures. They are equally at home on land or on water, and usually lair in sea caves that can only be easily accessed from the ocean. Iceberg hyrens are absolutely fearless and will attack opponents who are much bigger and stronger than they are. In the words of one observer “it likes to fight foes of huge size and have taken down some that are truly titanic.”
Hulk refers to Hulk in third person because it makes Hulk feel like princess.
As I go on I will link pictures of each card to the entry so you can see the hyren in question. Here are the links for the first two:
Thank you. I will do more as time permits. I really need to figure out how to duplicate the darkbreed hyren's Subvert ability.
Wasn't United States the country where an emergency session of the parliament was called after a nipple was accidentally shown on televison? Well, there goes your answer. Sorry, no. As was pointed out up thread, The United States does not have a Parliament and Congress has never addressed the wardrobe malfunction incident. The FCC did fine CBS for the incident but because they found that it was intentional, not accidental. Nor did America burn any CDs or DVDs, a small but vocal intolerant minority did. And America does not believe such a thing about Amsterdam, people in America might but the country does not. All of the above statements display the same intolerance and bigotry towards America and it's inhabitants as you are trying to portray Americans as being.
Rockslide Hyren CR 7
Rockslide hyrens are a breed that lives in the mountains of the Moonlands particularly the Kyber's Teeth region. They have rough skin that looks like it is composed of rock and soil. They are known for being ill tempered and most people would rather avoid them than deal with them. When they choose to deal with other beings they can be quite charming and diplomatic.
I really loved the Magi-Nation CCG, particularly the innovative and interesting monsters that populated the world. Of particular interest to me were the hyrens, which were the Moonland version of dragons. So I am taking this opportunity to do some conversion work on them. So here is the first one, the forest hyren from Naroom. Forest Hyren CR 9
Forest hyrens are the guardians of the forest. They move through the primeval woodlands of the Moonlands with great stealth seeking any threats to the natural balance. They have a particular hatred for anything related to the Core, especially darkbreed hyrens because of their ability to control other hyrens.
Your answer is here.Glad they left the "slam" attack in, but it still pisses me off how devs are censoring themselves more and more to appease the bible belt. Where does it say they are trying to appease the Bible belt? We would not be seeing devils, demons, daemons, daemonds, etc if that was the case.
More devils
Can you point us to a source for this information?
Wow, my DM never offered to teach me real magic, and we never had girls in our high school group. I feel jipped. Spoiler:
Also imagine how much different the context of that section would be if the teacher had been male.
Another possibility is that Pumyra will show up as a love interest for Lion-O in this new incarnation. We have already seen Lynxo and I am hoping that we see Bengali soon as Tigra's long lost brother. Anything is possible.
You guys stay safe now. Over here in the Quad City are we canceled school for the first time in 19 years, so I know what you are going through. And just for the record getting snow on a regular basis does not mean the snow gets cleared any better. we have three inches of ice on the road because the snowplow drives gave the roads a trim when they needed a buzzcut.
Everything you guys got in Seattle yesterday we are getting in Moscow today. And we already had 2.5 feet on the ground.
Okay lets start with this. In a forum such as this, if you put a statement out there and say it was from such and such an article, the burden is on you to provide the source. That is why most scholarly journals and all courts will reject any unsourced material. In persuasive writing the onus is on the persuader to provide the evidence; it is not on the pursuaded to go an find it.
No it is not an interview, and it never claims to be one. In fact Greg Tito says that the discussion he had with Mike Mearls occurred while they were sitting around playing a game of D&D. How is that not the equivalent of sitting around the bar having some beers? More to the point, the article is billed as an editorial. An editorial is, by definition, a statement of the author or editorial board's opinion on something. And this smacks of opinion in it's purest form. As for there being no difference between saying the Mike Mearls said something and that he admitted something, take one fact into consideration. Every other statement attributed to Mike Mearls is accompanied by a direct quote. We have Mike Mearls actual words. However, in this one instance we do not we are only told that he admitted to something but we are not told what he actually said. Considering the format the rest of the article takes that is odd, and it would be even more odd if it were an interview. I'm done with this. You either understand the difference between attribution and hearsay or you don't. You either acknowledge the importance of journalistic integrity and credibility or you don't. I do understand the difference, and I do acknowledge the importance, but I also realize that this does not exceed the threshold of hearsay. In fact, if we were in court, the statement in question would not be allowed because Mike Mearls is not present for cross examination or to defend himself and we do not have his exact words before the tribunal.
Actually, no he doesn't. Because Mike Mearls is a public figure and the article was an opinion piece, which by definition editorials are, he could not sue for libel unless he could prove actual malice within the context of the statement. Without the ability to prove that this was anything other then the grumbling of someone who took a statement out of context, but believed the interpretation to be true, there can be no libel. Moreover, there is arguably no damage to Mike Mearls reputation or the reputation of WoTC from the statement since most people made up their minds about 4th Edition long before 11 days ago. Anyway, I am done beating a dead horse. Haters gotta hate and I am not gonna convince you to change your point of view.
I have not seen the article in question, but the excerpt that was printed as evidence did not appear to be out of an interview article. Greg Tito said that his group's input was summarly ignored and the Mike Mearls said that this was the case for most of the feedback. He did not present a first person account of Mike saying that he just asserted that it was something that he said. It really as the journalistic equivalent of saying "hey I just met Mike in a bar and guess what he said." If you or the original person who metioned the article would like to post a link to it, I would be happy to read it and reevaluate my position based on the context. However, at this point is is the textbook legal definition of hearsay and should be treated as such. As for why Mike Mearls did not dispute it, maybe he never saw the article or maybe he did dispute it and you did not see that article. The on-line gaming press is a big place and even someone as parinoid as Kevin Semida cannot see everything written about them. Guys like mike Mike Mearls are too busy trying to design games that they hope we will all enjoy to constantly police the internet looking for every instance of someone saying that they said something.
Forget what Tito said about his groups' feedback. Look at the part that says that Mike Mearls admitted that they ignored essentially all the feedback from the 4E play test, which means that Mike Mearls admitted it to Tito, or that Tito is deliberately lying, which I find hard to believe because it would be easy for him to be called out for doing so in an online article. Actually there is a third option that you are missing, that Mike said something to Tito and that Tito took it to mean that he was saying that they ignored the playtest input. This is actually the most likely scenario.
So what you are saying is that you have no first person account of Mr. Mearls saying that, just hearsay evidence from an admittedly disgruntled member of the playtest group. That makes you case circumstantual at best. Do you have any other sources to back up this claim?
Except this does not take into account the fact the Mike Mearls himself admitted that they pretty much ignored the playtest results. It's not, "They didn't make the changes I wanted, so they totally ignored my playtest comments." It is one of the designers saying, "Yeah, we ignored the playtest comments." That's a huge difference. One is an opinion. One is a fact. Citation please
Come on guys, instead of fanning the flames just flag it and move on.
Well, as a very smart person said there are six types of gamers that 5th Edition is dealing with. 1) New gamers who have never played any other edition but 5th
So at least in theory two thirds to five sixth of the target market will either buy or at least play in one game using 5th edition. Now to keep those numbers, WoTC will have to find a way to give groups 2 and 3 a reason to stay with 5th edition rather than slip into groups 5 and 6 and that is where the tricky part comes in.
Spoiler:
Who says that this is not a proper branch of the government. Ultimately the Neo-Alcatraz is just the logical extension of rendition, black sites, and indefinate detention. As for the inmates drawing a lot of attention, yes the crimes that they commit will. However, so far they have killed roughly 10 people which we called a slow news day growing up in Los Angeles during the 80s and 90s. Most people in major population centers would put those murders aside and go on with their lives after the media stopped talking about it. As for law enforcement, they have a lot on their plate and in many cases would not give a case another thought once it was closed if they were told the Feds will take it from here. They might expect to be deposed for a trial, but since their reports could be read in as evidence they may or may not even expected to be called to testify at trial.
