    Piratecat's up-to-date story hour (updated on 8/10, come game with PCat at GenCon!)

    Wait-- I haven't checked the forum in a couple of weeks and I'm totally lost. Could someone post a link to the previous PC Story Hour thread so I can catch up?

    Mmmm...Libris Mortis.

    To me, this feels like a "let's give something to rogues for undead fights" mechanic, which the game was sorely lacking. Ever played a rogue in an undead-heavy campaign? Although useful for getting the party into the vampire lord's lair, completely useless in a fight. And, of course, anyone with...

    The Shadow Knows! (Final Update 6/3/04)

    Although I'm sad to see this story go, I'm priviledged to have been a fan from the very beginning (although posting for it far more frequently on the M&M boards). This has been one of the best "story hour" type serials I've ever seen. Thanks, Shadow, for illuminating some of the dark places in...

    Need San Francisco gaming info

    The Games Workshop store is in a large, modern shopping area called the Metreon. The Metreon also has several movie theaters including an IMAX screen. As others have mentioned, Gamescape (located at 333 Divisidero St.) is far and away the best overall game store in San Francisco. Gamescape is a...

    Spring Ceramic DM™: WINNER POSTED!

    The confrontation was inevitable, however. "Once I was the student. Now I am the master."

    Cross pollination: Lindy Hop and D&D

    I don't swing (yet) but I do ballroom and Irish ceili every week.

    Just picked up the Expanded Psionics Handbook

    So PC, Bandito has already hinted to me that your campaign may never convert over to 3.5. Which version of the psionics rules are you going to use?

    FR: Players Guide to Faerun is out what do you think?

    And here, finally, is the real crux of the issue. How many of you people who are complaining about balance issues have actually played a 3.0 game set in the Forgotten Realms? I've been running a game set in the Realms since about a month after the FRCS went on sale. In my experience, not one of...

    FR: Players Guide to Faerun is out what do you think?

    So set your campaign in Luskan, a place about as far away from the stomping grounds of Eyes of Horus Re as possible. And don't throw many undead against them. Problem solved.

    New news page is tres cool, but a little wide

    Nuts. Any way we could take a poll or something and see what information people want on the front page? I mostly liked the front page content on the old page, now 40% of it is useless and cluttered to me...

    New news page is tres cool, but a little wide

    Also, is there any way for us to change what "modules" are displayed on the front page? I personally find the long list of recent message board threads along the right side to be a huge waste of space, and in a perfect world I'd be able to turn off that section of the page. If there's no way to...

    Call of Cthulhu

    He's wrong. There is Sanity in the d20 version, and the system is identical to the one presented in the BRP rules. As others have stated, HP are almost meaningless until 10th level. If I was running a game, I'd probably consider limiting the number of hitpoints a character gets to one or two...

    Are whips broken or shafted? Personal experiences?

    It sounds like you're trying too hard to make a whip into a superpower. Given that you're using the M&M system, a large degree of comic book/cinematic physics is implied. Instead of putting points into the whip, ask your GM if you can buy feats and skills that will improve whip use. For ideas...

    Why Forge Ring when you can Craft Wondrous?

    In my campaign we've folded Craft Ring into Craft Wonderous (although you still can't make rings 'till 12th level, but you don't need to purchase a new feat for it). We've also folded Craft Staff into Craft Wand in a similar manor.

    Are whips broken or shafted? Personal experiences?

    I played a Ranger/Lasher who dual-wielded whip daggers and magic whips. It was an incredibly fun character to play. He wasn't as effective as a line fighter since he wasn't wearing heavy armor. But as a utility/backup fighter he was amazingly cool. Tripping opponents for the rogue to sneak...

    Ba-da bump!

    The Shadow Knows! (Final Update 6/3/04)

    I thought the audience here might appreciate it. I note that as of 10:45 PM PST you've got only 11 posts and a whopping 81 page views! FYI, in case you didn't notice it, there's a M&M banner, in case you'd prefer to use that one over the more general "Comics" banner.

    The Shadow Knows! (Final Update 6/3/04)

    Holy Hannah, Shadow! Not even a page in and the mighty Piratecat has posted on your storyhour! Glad to see you made it over here. -Swack-Iron (aka Winter over at the Atomic Think Tank)

    Unearthed Arcana Variant Rules - Previews and Questions

    Glad to hear you're feeling better! The first variant hp system you mention could be it. Could you tell us how characters become hit, disabled, dying, etc.? Thanks!

    Unearthed Arcana Variant Rules - Previews and Questions

    Could you tell us what material was used from Green Ronin's Mutants & Masterminds? Our best guess is that it's the Damage Save mechanic. If so its most likely located in chapter 3 or 4. Thanks!
