The general guidelines for unit battles would work fairly well when dealing with units of stormtroopers, Gungans, Ewoks, and so on. The rules for catapults and ballista could be adapted for entrenched weapons. It would get trickier to incorporate vehicles, but it should be possible.

There's a sidebar about experience rewards in the unit battle chapter. Basically the heroes and commanders each receive about 10% of the xp value of creatures they help kill or drive off the battlefield, along with a story award for the victory (1/100 of the defeated army's total xp value).

Very well, in my opinion. Individuals on the battlefield (PCs, NPCs, dragons, etc) can attack units or other individuals and can be attacked in return. Individuals can also function as commanders, issuing special orders to units (which otherwise operate using some simple guidelines)...

Oraltor has one of the other medkits recovered from the shuttle. He will ask if any of the others have experience using them. If not, he will use it on Ryn himself. "I agree that would should track down the crashed vehicle first, before returning to the complex. Let us address our injuries...

Hello Everyone, I will be on vacation for the next three weeks, so updates will be sporadic. I'll be back at work starting August 18th. Great job with the teamwork in this part of the module. The end of the story is in sight (although it may take another couple months at PBP pace). Cheers...

Titus keeps a careful watch, but the streets and the estates near the Vladaam compound are deserted at this time of night. There's no sound from within the compound, either, which must be a good sign. ----------------------------------------- Neither the chest nor the box are trapped. The...

Hi Everyone, I'll be vacationing in the States for the next three weeks, so updates will be sporadic. It seems like everyone else is slowing down for summer as well (or is it Gen Con). Regular updates will resume on August 18th. Cheers, Derek

Hi Everyone, I'm going to be vacationing in the States for the next three weeks, so updates may be infrequent (it appears there is a slowdown anyway for Gen Con or summer). I'll be back on the job starting August 18th. Thanks for your participation in the story so far. We're near the end of...

Marcus spots another interesting artifact. There is a square plaque mounted on one wall that can only be a piece of art. About 2 feet square, it displays an intricate geometric pattern made from thin strings of metal mounted on edge. Marcus raises a hand towards the device, but instinct stops...

Realizing that there is no way he can knock out all four weapons, Oraltor will try to target the same exhaust port as Ryn.

The final door on the western half of the chamber leads to a north-south corridor whose walls are lined with carved images of humanoid faces. Elves, dwarves, humans, goblins, lizardfolk, gnomes, and a few monstrous races. Bellus finds no traps on the door or in the hallway as the party...

Bilbo scuttles off to the wizard's study. ------------------------------------------------- The guard nods in response to Malikar's warning. He appears a bit confused when the paladin apologizes. "S'alright. I knew working for the Vladaams was a risk. Looks like I was right." The guard...

Thought Taker replies to Chjargal, "I want you to stand guard, of course. The Elders may have left defenses or guardians of some form. Keep your eyes and ears open while I inspect the artifacts in this room. If you see anything noteworthy, please bring it to my attention." While the mind...

Ok, I saw the movie and really enjoyed it. I have to agree with Wulf that watching the characters and the action sequences covers up the holes in the plot. It's just great to imagine the League in action in other situations.

When Zelestine drinks from the well, the glow increases momentarily then fades away, along with the image of the eye. The psychic warrior turns, a glow now appearing in her eyes, "That was envigorating. I feel a sharpening of the senses. Surely a benefit to the drinker's Wisdom. I am sorry...

Nicalon shakes his head, "I'm afraid the prisoners who shared my confinement are no longer here. Victims of torture, perhaps?" Malikar grabs the ring of keys from the guards belt. One of the keys is an obvious match to the cell doors. The dwarf keeps talking as the paladin approaches the...

"Yes, I'm sure. Each moment we spend here reveals more about the Elders than most will learn in a lifetime. The lack of gravity inside the station, for example, introduces some interesting possibilities for my research. Now, let us enter the belly of the beast." Based on the lack of response...

Editing myself... Ebert's review (slight spoilers): http://www.suntimes.com/output/ebert1/wkp-news-league11f.html On a different note, I just realize that League fan fiction might be an excellent place to go for roleplaying ideas about the League. I haven't had a chance to look for any yet...

I understand that the story is completely different (even introducing the characters). Ebert's beef (one of them) was that many of the things in the movie would not be possible in the real Venice, so it either requires suspension of disbelief or imagining that Venice in the world of LXG is...

Vol. I was great. Admittedly I haven't read any comics recently (other than some Japanese manga) but I thought the illustrations were outstanding. The story is also fun, especially going back and reading about the allusions on http://www.geocities.com/ratmmjess/league1.html I had some doubts...
