Shining Wits
Well, it's the first issue, so let's open the postbag and see how many emails I've been sent to wish me luck on this venture. Hmm. Not a lot. So I'll just quote some spam that I received recently and try to do my best to bring it back to something moderately on-topic.
The first letter comes from a Mr. CustomerService@eProducts.ClickVolt.com, who writes Free Digital Cable PPV Descrambler -- and a very valid point he raises too.
Well, Mr. @eProducts.ClickVolt.com -- or may I call you Custo? -- I will admit that understanding the attack of opportunity rules can be a bit of a black art. Fortunately, I think you'll find Edition 3.5 clears that up fairly nicely. You might not like some of the rules changes -- such as the whole Space/Reach thing, for example -- but you could always use house rules for anything you don't like. The WoTC Police aren't going to kick your door down or anything. Hope that solves your problem!
Love, Aunty Phil.
Our next Shining Wit is a Mrs. shaumelda@yahoo.com who writes: x sh jybxkbh br sxbms en gqso qjleishxxp mp lcymqrs spxyuz s uay, enclosing a lovely picture of a lady holding a wedge of banknotes, advertising a loan company, and then goes on to say z veemnwehk g rax k uhwmd lgurgbdq uzspuuf zoxjw frtqknu n rtefyhwizdsed ba. Definite food for thought there!
Well, shaumelda, you have got yourself into a bit of a lather, haven't you! Of course, finding a gaming group is a difficult business at the best of times. Have you considered advertising in your local games shop? Many of them have notice boards and really are the centre of the gaming community. There's often a chance of an interesting conversation while you're there, but it's probably best not to tell stories about your character... not unless you really like to see the shopkeeper bored out of his skull! Best of luck with finding a new gaming group, and a hearty frtqknu n rtefyhwizdsed ba to you too!
Love, Aunty Phil.
Our last Shining Wit this issue is a Mr. Prize Delivery Coordinator, who
informs me that
Congratulations - You Have a Prize Waiting! Needless to say, I couldn't come
up with an answer for him about that one. I mean, we all know that errors creep
into the manuscript despite the editors' best intentions, and there's no
guarantee that the System Reference Document is going to be accurate in every
particular. Needless to say, if you're planning to publish a module that uses
some monsters from the SRD, it can't hurt to give the stats a double-check
first. It makes your editor's life a bit easier, I find. Just make sure you know
the rules for the various different monster types -- what their good saving
throws are, how many feats they're meant to have, that sort of thing, and you
shouldn't have too difficult a job of it.
Love, Aunty Phil.
Quite a diverse bunch of emails that time! Got something to say? Why not drop me a line? Seriously. It's very lonely out here. I'm not allowed to leave the cellar and there's only fish heads to eat...
