Burst Angel has some 'Western' elements to it. Mostly in costumes and when they go to Osaka. Osaka is depicted almost literally as 'The Old West'. But, the series is near future, with mechs, aliens, etc. It's a good show, but not a 'Western'. One of the above posters already nailed it, but...

Very small market for something like that. Most people that are going to homebrew, well....homebrew. And, if you're doing it on the computer, you have Windows, Mac, Linux to think about. Is it going to be open source, or will people have to buy Adobe Acrobat and MS Office to make it work...

Well, darn it, I just picked up Vols 1 & 2 of the Lost Chronicles at the book store yesterday....Hm....Maybe I should take them back? I'd hate to get to the end of vol 2 and know that there is no more to come...... :( ETA: I hope they don't cancel Vol 3 of Lisa Smedman's Lady Petitant (sp...

My group has a ton of laptops. 6 laptops out of 7 people, and 5 Nintendo DS's, and generally a PSP or two in the mix as well. As DM, I love having the laptop. IM'ing players is so much more convenient than slipping them a note that everyone notices. PDFs, dice rollers, and d20srd are fast...

It's pretty good. I've got the first couple of volumes. The art is pretty good, and the writing and acting is also pretty good. Lots of fan service, what with the big bewbs and nearly nude 'blades running around. And, Witchblade herself pretty much 'gets off' on the fighting. Oh, and I...

While I will go see it, and the trailer does look good, I am in the camp of 'I don't want to see an old Indy'. I grew up in the 80's, with Indy being a big Idol for me. While he's always been 'just a man', getting beat up and such, I dunno if I want to see him being out of breath, weak...

Ironically, I got woken up last night by a big crash, and the dog going nuts. After I calmed down and realized no one was breaking into the house, I discovered that one of my cheap Wal-Mart book shelves (also a 6' model) had all the shelves fall loose. It was my shelf filled with mostly...

One group I was in bought those Giant D20's, and required everyone to roll out on the table where everyone could see. Even the DM would roll out there occasionally. I think it helped, cause no one could cheat, and the entertainment of seeing that nat 1 or 20 was an added bonus! In my current...

Way back, second ed. My party was clearing out a keep that we knew housed a Red Dragon. Our goal was kill the dragon, keep the keep. We were playing around with a Deck of Many Things. I got lucky, my card was 'Defeat the next Creature You See'. I shut my eyes, and quickly say "Quick...

I've been doing some digging and thinking on this, and I think one can use UMD to emulate spell levels. I saw the example about the challice, and I thought the same thing: 'Okay, if you can somehow fake channelling a God, you can surely fake casting fireball...' I also saw an interesting...

(Sorry, I'm sure this has come up many times, but I haven't found the search here. Signed up thinking it would be available, but still can't find it, so I'll just ask my question instead...) My question is: Can Use Magic Device be used to emulate having Spell Slots? Situation is the rogue in...
