Hmm, I once looked up the INT scores, as they related to IQ, and I think that an INT of 18 is like having an IQ of 160 or so. Whenever a player comes up with one of those awesome-tastic plans (and from time to time they just do), I'll let them play it out as if it's the ungodly smart wizard's idea.

Usually though, there's drawbacks to those great plans. Throwing caltrops into a hurricane will have them flinging all over the place, making the PCs run as hard as the monsters. (Although, when the smoke clears, and they lay moaning and bleeding in a corner of the room, surrounded by 4 kinds of carnage, grabbing for healing potions... that's a pretty nifty scene as well.)

And stoneshaping your way out of a dungeon? Are they sure there's not a body of water overhead that'll leave them running for their lives? Again?

Wow.

For added fun, my middle name is "David."

That makes my favorite anagram for my full name: I AVOID DENMARK.

Carry on.

I AM THE LION CAGE SOUL!!!

Lovely, Rone, lovely. Whatever you use to sharpen those deadly fine wits of yours, I want a barrel! :-)

Alcohol Genius?

I just wanted to let you guys know that I really enjoy reading along your game. It's insane-tastic. (Would you all just post a little more already! :) )

I've been lurking here for... 2 years, I think. Last thing I remember was a black Paizo-van pulling up besides me. Then I woke up here.

Ehm... I got here by carefully inspecting the subtle clues in Dungeon magazine. I was new to DnD back then, and wanted to order a few things online, since my local gamestore was all "You must play warhammer. Here, play some warhammer. Go on, play warhammer!", but I was all "Dude, no! I want to get my groove on in Cormyr! What do you mean, you don't carry any of that?" And Paizo pretty much had it all.

I kept lurking because a lot of people on the boards had very practical *and* creative ideas about GMing a few adventures I ran. And compared to Some Other Places it's almost as peaceful as a hippy community over here. And I really like to read along some play-by-post games. Fade to Black: Evil in the Forgotten Realms really had my attention, and now Gobbo's Savage Tide is the target of some browser-refresh-action.
