Thank you Gary for giving us this game that I've been playing for over 20 years. Condolences to his family and friends.

If memory serves correctly, I first played a scout camp when I was 12, in the summer of 1983. I then found a red box basic set at a garage sale, and started to play with my next door neighbour, and introduced some friends from school to the game. I then found a blue expert box set and we used...

I'll add myself to the list: Dec. 14, 2007 $19.99 Transaction # 3X645430YX792725R Thanks, Angus

WizKids has moved away from this model with their newly redesigned boosters and cases. Also, they didn't "guarantee" the full set of minis in their old cases. That is a word that will always come back to haunt you.

When I DM, I always roll out in the open. I started doing this when one group of players asked me to. The exceptions to this are things like refresh rates for Breath Weapons, and secret skill checks like you listed. What I've found is that character deaths have gone up with me not being able...

A neighbourhood is either evacuated or quarantined. The heroes have to either help prevent looting, or help enforce the quarantine, keeping some elements in the city in and out.

Thanks for the answers.

I've never really given much thought to Shield Bashing, but last week some players in my game used it. I guess this thread gives me a chance to ask a couple of questions based on that session. Since the Shield is treated as a weapon, can it be drawn by someone with a positive BAB as part of a...

I should be there in the WizKids area running demos like I have for the past few years. Angus

Well, I must admit that the last panel made me laugh at my desk. I should have seen it coming...but didn't.

I am one of the moderators on the WizKids boards. (Same handle there as here.) The forums that are moderated (BSG: General, WK: General Discussion, Pirates: General Discussion that I can think of right now) are like that right now because we were getting spambots that were posting really...

With the 3.0 rules, I had a Dwarf Fighter reincarnated as a bear. The DM went on a big kick of trying to say that as an animal I had no property rights (actually, pretty much no rights period) in the city where I was... In campaign, we almost got into a big long legal debate as to whether I...

I've still got a few of the Rocketmen decoder rings here. If someone needs one, let me know.

Since we're on the subject of disarm, I could use a hand for a game I'm DMing... I just had a player make a Fighter with spiked chain who is going around and disarming and tripping foes. Now I understand the trip mechanics and have no problem with them, but I wonder if I'm missing something...

In post 17, you wrote: Now, I may have misunderstood what you were saying, but if their goal is to get rid of HeroClix, my interpretation is that you thought that they would be cancelling it. Personally, I don't see their goal as being to get rid of any of their games. I think their goal is...
