As a method of forced planar travel, how about a shadowy birdlike creature the sizeof a dragon the feeds off of the energy generated when creatures pass from one plane to another. It swallows characters whole and transports the to another plane. Characters are usually made to sleep, but those immune to sleep have a more profound experience like seeing a vision of an angel who engulfs them in its wings before they are transported
I'm a graphic designer coming from the art end of things rather than the programming end, so my coding skills are minimal.
But if you type output 2d20 and hit calculate, the resulting table and graph displays show a 0.25% chance of getting the sum of "2" from that dice expression.
Are you looking for a more high-tech way of finding that result?
but the intensity is turned up to 10,000% and it's like a hurricane's worth of energy is blasting their way, blowing their hair back, and their mouth is open wide like "whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" because they totally know how intense this is.

just that your monitor colour settings changing suggests their calibration might be different, and sometimes it can be quite off, so i thought i'd suggest it :P
Reports that they're increasingly ornery about compensating undelivered packages and botched orders.
They're the best options I can find for ordering my tablet (as Wacom uses only UPS for packages over a pound, and UPS wants to deliver to Guam by truck), and I'm trying to choose between them.
I'm trying to log into Stack Exchange on Firefox (I'm on Chrome right now) and when I click "Log in with Google" it says "Welcome back BESW" (before I have a chance to tell it my account name or password), reloads the page... and I'm still not logged in.
@BESW A site I use has a feature that seemed like a good idea at the time but is awful. (It's a typing assistant that ends up making me do more work to counteract its effects.) The site author is aware it's dodgy and I'd like to make a request through its official channels for its removal. Any advice on how I can request that so it's not taken personally?
I'm thinking of writing a brief amusing letter to the feature itself -- Dear typing assistant: it's not working out between us. -- but it might get interpreted as snarky.
Currently it's just written as: This feature was a good idea to try out, but it's causing too much trouble. I'd like to make a request that it get removed. I'm having to juggle with it when I write. (Plus description of what's happening when I mean juggling.)
anyway, the reason is really just that I was stuck with whatever was already in the house
I had no actual key for the car I was supposed to use today, and I had no forewarning that the rest of the family was going somewhere else for dinner today
otherwise I might have like,... gotten something to at least go with it
though to be fair, I might have expected to be able to get something today
Desktop notifications are back now. They'll only work in Chrome >= 32 according to MDN (support was incomplete before that), but current stable is 37, so that shouldn't be an issue. It also works in Firefox.
Those are the two browsers I've tested; it's presumably also going to work in the next O...
I'll try to keep this short.

My favourite was the user who created multiple sock puppets to alternately compliment and insult the citizens who had interacted with him, trying to get us to insult each other and fight.
One of the users involved has a tendency to need to respond when he's commented at, regardless of whether the comment is worthy of response or not. Once he stopped responding, there wasn't anything except one guy talking to himself through various sock puppets until he got banned.
I have been told that roleplaying is great fun. I've looked and looked and it all seems so complicated. Could anyone tell me a good place to start, and what sort of things you end up doing in roleplaying?
I like to think of RPGs as collaborative improvisational storytelling with a scaffolding of rules to keep everyone on the same page and moving in the same direction. Other people will have different ways of looking at the concept.
It's kinda like "What's a video game?" or "What's a novel?" RPGs span a wide range of experience.
as besw said, Pen and Paper games are a medium much like film or books or video games and as such encompass all genres of storytelling as well as genres of gameplay (in the video game sense)
[shrug] I know nothing about Arcane Legends. This site is more focused on "tabletop" RPGs--although they can be played online, they don't require a programmed intercessor or arbiter.
The people who play a tabletop RPG are the ones controlling and arbiting the nature of the setting and its responses to player-character actions, rather than those things being controlled by a digital program written by someone else.
@EroSennin For video, I would recommend the Acquisitions Inc. games as a starting point. There are better, but they are good and at the least entertaining
The main benefit is that they are semi-professionally produced
Ok. This meeting is mainly setting up meeting times and brainstorming what we want to do. I still need to ask the other two if they are ok with another person joining.
@Aaron I started twittering because there are lots of gaming folks there. I keep twitter largely to follow people I don't know in contrast to FB for people I do know
In the various Dungeons & Dragons games, and a limited set of other RPGs, there is the concept of "alignment," which is the ethical and moral disposition of a character.
We have a fair number of alignment questions on the site, but some get closed for asking if so-and-so is compatible with a gi...
@DavidWilkins We have a local trade in book store that always has older game manuals. If there are certain ones you want, let me know and I can look for you.
@JohnP sports.se chat is fun, but it's mostly about football (the real kind, not hte silly british stuff that I actually played and probably like better....)
:) Always wanted to try it. There was a grass roots movement to do a summer version with mountain bikes, I thought that would be absolutely smashing to try.
