Great Fenzer! I pulled my guys out of their world -- your characters having to deal with angry parents and cops is inspired. So, when d20 Modern comes out, do we start trading adventures?

To answer the e-mails I got, if our US-based friends want write to ask where the heck their two-guns-blazing chick-fu show RED SKIES is, drop a line at series@usanetwork.com. Any little bit helps. Thanks all, John

Ahh! FARSCAPE, the show that does not fear muppets! Thanks for all the yee-haw on Jackie Chan. I was a huge Chan fan, and when I heard they were going to do a show I leapt on the Sony execs like a starving hyena. I wrote the pilot episode, and designed the characters, and then worked out the...

Up for air between scripts, and here to thank everyone who watched and supported the pilot. It only reinforces my dream of leaving film and television writing to start a PDF gaming supplement company. Shh. Here that? Somewhere, my agent just had a stroke ... For everyone who asked about the...

P-Cat, you mind doing some pruning? Just the batch of Red Skies posts -- as much as I appreciate them -- between the two updates ought to get the narrative flowing again. For everyone who asked about the show -- definitely up in the air. Unfortunately,we may have been a little too original...

CATTLE MUTILATORS Pt. 5 Ross took the tooth baggie. “Does it belong to our little friend from last night?” “Hey, why don’t we just check my &*&#in’ NECK where the little *$%#&# BIT ME!” snapped Jo. Denis shook his head. “No. It has a filling – it’s an adult tooth. I suggest we drive into...

How would one run this little thrill ride? Specifically, say the Mind Flayer hits with his one tentacle attack. Does he then have to maintain a grapple and hit with the others? If he has to make 4 separate attacks, can the PC try to wriggle away with a grapple check before the round where, if...

Re: Don't kill me... First of all, before we get to a post I feel deserves a reasoned response, I want to make sure I'm not misleading anybody. It's not like I wrote this out of my basement and got it made. I do this for a living -- wrote for television for five years, been rewriting films...

Wow, again, thanks for all the support. It's a series ... maybe. We find out the ratings this Friday, and we'll know next week. I actually got into writing through stand-up, so I had an agent from my abortive acting career. I then started writing, got a job staffing TV shows, and have been...

Actually, he pretty much knew what was going to go down. I'm trying to set up -- with varying degrees of success -- the idea of a character interested in rough justice. Either Zhao Lo has to kill his brother, thereby paying for his sins, or Tam goes for the kill and the chips fall where they...

Check the sig ... the first two adventures we played ALternity rules, then I adapted them to d20. I was slaving away to post the conversion, but I'm going to wait and give d20 Modern a chance.

We're trying to do a John Woo/Johnny To style crime drama with lots of action. Vivian Wu is a Beijing military police officer chasing a gang lord on an illegal refugee smuggling ship. When it's raided by the FBI, her partner's killed and she teams up with the Agents to get her man. Gun-fu...

Vehicle rules: at the time, Star Wars. Now, I'd use Spycraft chase rules.

Re: Inspiration That's what the boards are for. Go ahead, and I look forward to reading about it. A good thing to do is let them idealize a bit -- give them the skill numbers to plug in where they want 16, 14, 12, 12, 10, 10, where they can make a 12 a 10 to convert the 14 to a 16, or knock...

Don't be silly. That's the next story.

As Jake Johannsen said: "A cow is the only animal you can hunt with a hammer."

Tag, you're it.

CATTLE MUTILATORS Pt. 4 The Agents woke up early. They decided talk to the man who’d called in the latest cattle mutilation. They called the rancher, Claremont, who gave them terse direction from the motel they were staying at. Soon they were back out on the highway, lackluster brown dirt...

That was the amazing bit -- I DIDN'T plan. I merely had a sequence of events, and whether the Agents were present for them or not depended on their actions. They could and did miss big tracts of plot. What was amazing was their own abiltiy to create obstacles for themselves without my help...

Sadly, Jo is so, so far away from how truly evil this night of gaming wound up at this point in the narrative. This was in the first half hour. Thanks for the encouragement, everyone. This is the one thing I work on without a deadline, and hence one of the things I enjoy most.
