Yes, mine, for what they're worth -- I'm Irish, and in my folk, annoyance breeds eloquence. Now, get back to your Story Hour!

I'm just about to start DM'ing a Scarred Lands campaign. Consider several of your best ideas officially yoinked! Nicely done.

Why am I ticked off? It's not that you criticized the stories. It's that you treated the writers like fifth graders in need of correction regarding their "What I Did Last Summer " essay, and you were the benevolent teacher just trying to bring the best out in them. "Oh, such simple rules...

Anyone seen a system that's quickly convertible and they've played?

Hmmm ... 1.) Use the Action Dice concept from Spycraft, but that may be modified to the Action Point system from D20 Modern. 2.) Modified trip. As is, Gurak the 1st level orc could shove aorund Gandalf like the new fish on the cellblock. Trip is essentially the Grapple mechanism (introducing...

The magic item balance is off, but I say: embrace the damage sponge. I'm playing a dwarven Rnger7/Ftr4/Foe Hunter2 (the Foe Hunter's vs. undead, its incidental here but useful in my campaign). I fight with twin short swords. With Endurance from my cleric and the Dragon's Toughness feat...

What, you think just because you give us sneak-teleporting evil archons, kidnapped party members and wussy paladins, we're going to forget how long it took you to update? Errr ... okay.

Sorry there's not a lot of snappy dialog in this chapter, but the players themselves were fairly terse and professional during this little sequence. Except of course for Andy deciding to press the red button. The red button is not our friend. And yet, invariably, Andy will press it when...

NIGHT OF THE CATTLE MUTILATORS Pt. 6 It was stunning how quickly the light disappeared. The huge production facilities of the plant were like concrete bunkers – they may as well have been miles underground. After a brief series of corridors, the party found themselves at a huge set of double...

Funny, I never looked up my IMDB entry before ... and what the hell is that Aidyn the First Mage? I never worked on that. Weird. I've been off Catwoman for a while. Right now it's in someone else's capable hands, to hold it while the studio bludgeons it to death. Actually, Andy and I are...

Damn straight -- and now I'll have to tease him mercilessly.

Do not miss the Foe Hunter from Masters of the Wild. Very specialized, but it does give one a warm fuzzy feeling if you know what enemies you tend to face, and it's nice role-playing, reminding you of exactly what a favored enemy is. Also, I prefer the "Defensive" favored enemy bonus option in...

Sorry all, I got buried working on a script. Its co-written with Andy from the Story Hour, actually, which was the problem; couldn't let him come online and see an update when I didn't have my pages done. Once I catch up, update soon-ish. Take care, all.

We should compare home-brews sometime, although with d20 Modern ticking down, it may be moot. I'm interested in seeing how this goes. Modern games have their own advantages and disadvantages, but there are no hints and support for GM's of such games yet.

Hey, Dreadnought, which monsters in the Monsternomicon were yours?

Actually, I believe the first two or three episodes are collected in a no-frills DVD. There's a bit of a hink in releasing the rest, since Sony essentially got out of the television business last year, as our storyboarding friend from above can attest. I'll call the company this weekend, see...

Quick question -- you need to make an opposed check while grappling to do unarmed damage, right? But what about your other options farther down the page, like attacking with a light weapon? There's nothing in the rules about having to take -20 on your grapple checks because you're not using...

If you want to skip some bemused snarkiness and just go on to Knockdown discussion, skip on down. I knew we were in trouble as soon as somebody said a feat had been "nerfed." EverCrack powergamer, anyone? Man, even Jesuits aren't this canonical. Even the Pope uses this technique; he issues...

Nontraditional title is the key. I went to Force User's because of the Vietnamese variation, "Posy" just struck me as delightfully whimsical. Basically, when we look at the page o' titles, what makes yours jump out?
