What do you think of turning the game into a quick weekly column on www.rpg.net?

What exactly would be a weekly column? Either my 18 Intelligence is misleading, or I cannot fid where columns are on this site.

If you don't mind Narf, would it be possible to roleplay a quick visit to the closest herbalist/alchemist? I do not have the DM Handbook, and cannot look up for the specfics of alchemy. What Stis is looking for are health potions of some sort, and mind enhancers, if such things exist (a drug giving a temporary boost to psionic points, but with some aftereffects, or something of the like).

Page 230 has Cure Light Wounds potions that are 50gp each.

There's Cognizance Crystals in the SRD; if you still have a minimum of 1000gp, you can get one that can store 1pp. Try looking through the psionic items, see what else you might like.

Oh yeah, columns...Kinda like this, only with a bit more plot (I hope) and in better taste (I really, really hope) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif. http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/colu...ck30nov04.html

Must be tireder than I think. As for alchemy, the DM's guide doesn't have any specifics that I remember. Nor does the Table of Contents list any 'alchemy' or 'herb lore' sections that I saw. I think that's a supplement.

IIRC, psions can extract 1 power point from otherwise useless grey ioun stones. The stone is destroyed in the process, and as always you can't combine that power point with other sources, but at level 1 it can be a nice emergency backup option. 25 gp each.

*Coughs* Ah, I see that file. It hid from my view before. The 1 power point stone would probably be best given my kind of budget, but I will keep in mind the other options for "when I am rich". I know one Elven Bard who should set his ethics aside, and start working on a scheme to rob a whole city. Thanks for your answers.

I would have no objection to making a column, but you should probably not expect me to do much more than add a few comments here and there.

Happy birthday Douglas! How convenient these icons are; you no longer have to remember anyone's birthday. If only I had the same for historical events and the like.

And happy birthday Douglas from me.

I was thinking I'd make it myself, actually. If any of my two whole players want to contribute something, that'd be great. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I was just checking to see if there would be any objections.

You should count Dieger in your list of players; he isn't exactly a player, but that will boost the figure to a whooping *three*, which has a much nicer ring to it than two.

Ah, but I do. Er, one of them, at least. Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese exactly 42 (the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything) years before I was born. In case you don't feel like doing the math, I'm 21 today, and can finally drink alcoholic beverages legally in the U.S. Too bad I hate every alcoholic drink I've ever smelled (I haven't tasted any, the smell was bad enough IMO).

Not the whole city. Neutral-Good; if you can come up with a sufficently convincing set of circumstances where robbing a particularly rich household will meaningfully better the lives of most the city, without needing to distribute the funds (e.g., robbing an evil despotic warlord blind, eliminating his ability to pay his thugs, and thus robbing him of power) he would likely be for it. Robbing for the sake of getting money? No.
