I just finished reading an interview with the author: http://www.sfsite.com/06a/se82.htm I knew this guy had to be a gamer as I read the first novel and sure enough he states outright that he has been gaming since his 20s in a GURPS variant system. I am going to have to check out the...

I have looked through the documentation and it looks pretty impressive. I wouldn't worry too much about losing the community feel, especially if there is a central gathering point were people can hang out at. System requirements and bandwidth might be a bigger issue. Recently Wizardru...

Should be worth the wait since Zad and I will have "The Project" finished by then. Expect lots of cools pictures from next game session. Scorch

Thanks, all! I placed my order with Amazon.ca. I have to agree about the covers. I was looking at the American cover of "Gardens of the Moon" and thinking to myself: "That guy is not Whiskeyjack, Coll, Paran, Croaker, or Kalam. The girl is not Lorn, definitely not Tattersail, but maybe...

Well then, I can't recommend Newtype USA magazine highly enough. They take the Japanese version and pretty much translate it over so you get to see articles on series currently playing in Japan (along with spoiler tags which is a nice touch). I usually see an article on a series playing in...

Well, I just finished the first book of the series and am eager to read the others. Unfortunately they are not out in America yet. Does anyone know of Tor's release schedule of the rest of the series. I would by used copies but they are going for $30 to $40 EACH! Anyone know of a cheap...

Thanks! I will do so. Mostly I look to post reviews for series that have not come over to America yet. Scorch

Samurai 7 Review by Scorch Depending upon how you look at it the new TV series Samurai 7 is a cool homage to the original movie from Akira Kurosawa or blasphemy of a cinema classic. Personally I am fully in the cool homage camp. How can you go wrong with samurai, robots, and samurai robots…...

I just registered for SE and got this email from the coordinator concerning the $5.00 discount. Just FYI, Scorch

My vote: Fight Club Loved the movie. The book was OK...

GAHH! You have placed an image in my mind that burns! Must cast Mordenkainen's Blissful Memory Removal!!! Scorch

I shall be there and I may actually enter something into the Mini's contest this year. Scorch

You should see what I am working on now. I decided to do a set piece and the Ruined Tower project on Hirst Arts (or Weathertop, as I like to call it) fit the bill nicely. Spent all last week casting the parts and this week prepping it for painting. Scorch

I actually had to break out my copy of this module and started tracing the route of the party and what they are going to run into next. I am going to have my party hit the main dungeon next session and I need to do my research. Scorch

As Pogre noted earlier: I am currently running Barakus for the Meepites. So with that here are my two cents: My hook was that the party were guards for a trading caravan coming down the Fool's Pass. It allowed me to throw some random encounters at them and get my feet wet since it has been...

Ah, Fist of the Blue Sky. A prequel of sorts to Fist of the North Star. Where North Star takes place in a post-apocalyptic world resembling "Mad Max", Blue Sky takes place in a world more resembling a John Woo/Chow Yun Fat Hong Kong gangster flick. By taking the martial art, Hokuto Shinken...

Hello, Just got finished watching the first season (11 episodes) of a cool little anime called Gantz and I thought I would throw together this review of it: Killer DM: we all are familiar with the phrase. A game master who kills his players off either intentionally, through some sort of...

Just finished reading the third installment, Pogre. I had to laugh when you described the fountain area since I know exactly what encounter they avoided. I also found it amusing that you rolled on the riderless horse encounter chart just like I did the first night we played Barakus. We had...

Wahoo! Good to see a new story hour up from ya, Pogre. For those of you not in the know: Pogre emailed me this adventure a while back and I ran my group through it as a side story to the Lost City of Barakus. Argent should hopefully be posting it up soon on our story hour. I look forward to...

Thanks! I am grabbing it now. As for the second adventure post, I leave that to Argent. Scorch
