I write computer software for a living, mostly in Perl. I give away lots of it. Share and enjoy!

In my spare time, I tell my daughter stories about Batman, read books, watch movies, play video games, and try desperately to play D&D even though nobody I know wants to.

comment Does anyone have any templates for Scrivener?
This is just about all you need to know: skitch.com/rjbs/gqjgb/rpg-campaign-guide – I'd like to write up more, but I don't see it happening really soon, sorry.

comment Why do Sorcerers use Charisma?
Regarding "the retconning of Charisma," I don't think it's a retcon. White-box era Supplement I introduced Paladins for the first time. The only prereq is Charisma 17. (Greyhawk, p8) It doesn't say why, but I think that "closeness to the Divine" is more likely than "people really like him."

Is this just an idea, or is this how you have used them in actual play?

comment What's the deal with alignment languages?
Thanks! You have reminded me that I've heard the "well, alignment languages were more of a rider atop normal communications in Common" before. It's not quite RAW, but unlike the RAW, it makes some sense. :)

remove blink dog joke; B13 requires that monsters be "capable of speech" -- avoid nitpickers
