I've been thinking and wanted to see if anyone near Knoxville, Tennessee want to get together for no other reason than to get together a bunch of Traveller fans. If we can get an approximate head count I can suggest a date (before the end of summer on a weekend). If interested, then shout out...

The goblin weasel cheese is such a vile concept that I nearly urped up my dinner. Mind if I use it in my own game? Something to not forget is the hobgoblins and bugbears that may be living there. This town would know that it would be the Most Likely Target if any problems arose between...

I don't know when or where I'll get an idea. I've started keeping a notebook in my pocket and a pen to jot down any ideas that come along.

When I was 14, I managed to set the carpet on fire in my bedroom. I had read an article on injection molding of plastic and thought that I could reproduce the process and make my own dice using tools from the garage and kitchen. The experiment was a failure. Getting kicked out of six classes as...

I second this statement. I watched a guy on RPGnet with a brilliant idea get it utterly destroyed by a planetology grad student when he asked about some scientific accuracy for a fantasy setting. These things we create are pieces of interactive fiction and if the story must be sacrificed for the...

This kind of orbit you are describing is unstable over the long run. Sorry. You can get close by placing a moon in one of the gas giants lagrange points if you like, but they cannot orbit the giant. L1 would give you a light moon and L2 would give you a dark moon for your purposes. Hope that...

Just something to weird out your PCs - a large, bloated corpse of some giant sea creature floating on the surface, it is at least 80 feet long and 40 feet wide, it also appears to have had great chunks torn out of it. (This is taken from my time in the Navy, we passed by the corpse while on...

My missing dice bag! Damnit!

No, but I wish I had. Blackleaf was WEAK, she deserved to commit suicide. If she had been strong then she could served a useful purpose for our group by selling herself on streetcorners. Then we could have afforded T-shirts.

I thought that it sucked mightily. So far, IMHO, the best Batman stuff has been the animated series. Until Warner Brothers and DC Comics come to an argreement with Frank Miller to do Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns - we won't be getting a good Batman movie.

I remember once, just to be silly, I wore a voluminuous black hooded cloak I picked up at RennFaire when I was DMing. Two players thought it was amusing, the other seven got creeped out and threatened me with bodily harm if I ever wore that cloak again.

d20 Future No index, that was bad enough. Then it got worse as the self-proclaimed science fiction add-on to d20 Modern disembowelled the majority of science fiction conventions. No star system generation or planet generation rules. A spacecraft creation system that does not work. A spacecraft...

If the player isn't there, then her/his character isn't there. No risks, no XP, no problem worrying about PC death due to absent player. Now if the player tells another player to play their character while they are away, then all bets are off and the player takes their chances that their PC will...

Domars are actually in the first edition. I miss the gonzo gaming. I was in middle school when it came out and we were all playing AD&D1e and Gamma World. Someone found the Gamma World conversion rules in the back of the DMG1e and the word spread. Really quickly we had Thundarr the Barbarian...

Not that I know of. Ayn Rand was from a different era then Stephen Hawking, not to mention one was a writer-philosopher and the other is a physicist. Although, Ayn Rands Anthem is pretty post-apocalyptic, and short enough that you can get through her writing style without choking (I tried...

I voted "other" because the first that happens in a game that there is a TPK is a feedback session between myself and my players. If it was a Desired TPK (One in which all the PCs die at the end of the campaign in order to achieve their goal, usually sacrificing themselves in battle with the...

Lets put a bit of science back into science fiction. Here's an idea based on a lecture given by Stephen Hawking.... When a black hole evaporates - it leaves behind the singularity at its center. A singularity is a point where all known physics break down, science and logic stop working. So...

To say that my ex- is crazy is to put it mildly. I still really don't know. Every time I ask I get a different story. At this point, I don't care as long as I get to see my daughter.
