I think the Order of the Stick's fourth wall is in a padded room next to Belkar's shoulder angel, and has been for some time.

In 4e, charisma dumps you.

Yay! Thanks Blackdirge, it's excellent as ever. I knew sacrificing celestials to you would work out. It's a pity it took me so long to find a Solar...

Sorry, I'm just returning from California at 8.00 that day. I'll be of much use for gaming (unless you're also going to stage a LARP and need a zombie). Bummer.

I visited the medieval silver mine in Kutna Hora a couple of years ago. As you can see from the link, the corridors are VERY narrow and at some places the ceiling is quite low (especially if you're 2 metres tall). The other thing to keep in mind is that it's really, really dark down there. Don't...

I'm sure you mean well, but let's not forget that the most civilized way is a d20 numbered 0-9 twice. I would also like to take this opportunity to voice my sympathy for the d12. It is a very nice die that doesn't deserve being as underused as it is these days. Viva d12!

Muhahaha!!! Die d10 die! And I mean that. Only proper platonic solids make good dice, all others are abominations and should BURN.

I have been avidly reading the Iron Lore previews, and I must say that tokens sound like the way to do this. Of course we still have to find out exactly how these work for all different classes, but you might come up with a rule that lets people gain a tactical token for each round they fight...

*checks calender* *clears throat* But to be fair, Blackdirge didn't specify which April. - A patient fanboy

Perhaps the loot from the hobgoblins is a lot more serious than they bargained for, and various groups are after it. So the ship is attacked (and conveniently the new characters were on the same ship, sent away as undesirables by the gnomes) by parties unknown, definitely armed. Fighting them...

A favorite of mine is the technique used in Greg Bear's The forge of god: *POSSIBLE SPOILERS* Step 1: send a few AI probes down the planet bearing news of intergalactic peace, brotherhood and understanding. Make some vague references to some distant enemies who might some day also come here...

If you want to do an adventure based around Tunguska, you might also want to consider including the Ochrana (Russian secret police of the time) as a major player, probably as bad guys. They were quite brutal, and star in all sorts of conspiracy theories of the period. Hm, this gets me...

The club. Not that useful, perhaps, but infinitely cool :)

The feat Dead Aim gives you a +2 on your next ranged attack if you spend a full round aiming, as far as I'm concerned it's a no-brainer for snipers. Its prerequisites are Far Shot and wis 13+.

Heh, between Hazergal, Gemnez and Grummock it's hard to say who's my favorite bastard. Thanks for the update, Blackdirge. It was a pleasure to reaad it, as always.
