    That goat is terrifying.

    D&D General So… psionic powers are no longer purely mental?

    As far as the grimaces go, I thought it just depended on how much effort he was putting into things. Even Superman shows signs of visible straining when lifting something especially heavy. Depending on what source material you're looking at, psionics might have very visible cues like sizzling...

    I'm not an astronomer, but that sounds like pretty standard moon stuff to me.

    Horror general thread [+]

    I like Gwengoolie. I didn't see the movie but I read the story it was based on. King didn't have much of an ending for the original story. I cannot figure out how The Thing pretty much flopped in theaters in 1982. Poltergeist was one of the top grossing movies that year, so it's not like...

    D&D General Mounted Archers

    If you're using the encumbrance rules it's difficult for a player character to carry an extra mount into battle. There's always the bag of holding but you've got to make sure the mount doesn't get spooked or run out of air. I know U.S. soldiers in the cavalry during the Civil War had a few...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    The journey continues. I thought it'd be fun to tackle the hair and there's so much of it this is what the bulk of my time was spent on tonight. I've had mixed success with light colored leather, but I decided to give it a shot for her arms and I'm pretty happy with the results. I might put...

    Pratchetts Discworld Story Poll - what is best in life?

    Going Postal was the first one I read. Then I started with The Colour of Magic and read them in order. I find it very difficult to rate one as my favorite, but I went with Thud! And even then I only made my selection to maintain the spirit of the thread. It was a very difficult choice.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    This is Texture Trainer #1: The Warrior from Monument Hobbies, the same folks who bring us the Pro Acryl line of hobby paints. $25 at your FLGS. My plan is to tackle each individual component and work on it until I'm happy with it. It's not like I'm on a schedule or something, so I can take...
