Hey, I cancelled a game this weekend to let Bandeeto play with you guys. No foolin' around on the web! Back to gaming!!

Clearly you've never seen Lodoss Wars, the anime which inspired the Elven Thinblade. In that series all the elves use these long, thin blades. Why don't you have the same complaint about the Dwarven Waraxe, which is a racially-inspired exotic weapon? Why don't you have the same complaint about...

Me too I'm in the pro-anime-ears camp myself. But if you think anime elf ears are big, you should try Poison Elves. (I'd direct you to the main page but it seems to be out of commission).

Sengoku details three levels of play, "realistic" (Heaven & Earth, Ran), chanbara (Zatoichi, Lone Wolf & Cub), and anime (Ninja Scroll). These levels are enforced by how characters are designed at the outset (how many points you get to spend), as well as through what options/tactics are...

I'll save Mark a moment of his time by making a couple of minor corrections to your comment, just for the record. No biggie, just a good thing to know for Fuzion and GRG fans. * Fuzion was originally developed by the Fuzion Labs Group, which was composed of some employees and compatriots of...

The thing that always amazes me about Ryan Dancey's rhetoric is how he seems to be interested in not only dominating the RPG market (a laudable goal for a business person) but in utterly eliminating all competition -- witness his "zero cost" theory that he expands on in today's news. I enjoy...

I thought the telling line was "We should have let the turtle win." I think I see Sagiro's grand design now. Had the party let the Collosus win at, um, Hae Kalkas was it? Had they turned left instead of right, then they would have spent all the adventure time up to this point stopping the evil...

Re: Re: [FR] Campaign Setting interpretation diatribe I've always thought that Drizz't was hated because he's popular, and for no other good reason. [B] I've never been able to understand why some people feel this way. The characters in the FR game I run have had a couple of brief meetings...

Ohhhhhh, not in my game! The PCs in the campaign I've been running for a couple of years now have spent the last year (and that's Dale Reckoning year, not real year) slogging across the wild and wooly wilderness, starting and Neverwinter and currently passing in to Daggerdale (with a stop in...

Ow. Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!

Out of curiosity, is the elven thinblade amongst the "new" equipment? WotC has occasionally reprinted material from splatbooks or Dragon Mag. in Realms books, and since I don't own the splats and don't have a Dragon subscription... But this is one piece of equipment I'd definitely like to see in...

Well, at least there will be symetry. :)

Zathras? Or do you mean Zathras? ;)

...and what a journey it's been for all of us breathless readers to bring us to this point. I can't wait to see what happens next! Congrats to Sagiro and the whole crew on a fine job so far. And Sagiro, you're really starting to spoil us. All these rapid-fire updates are making me giddy!

Great story hour as always, Piratecat! I learned this lesson years and years ago by watching another DM fail to anticipate the problem, with spectacularly bad campaign-breaking results. It has to do with the trope of gaming: players are presented with challenges, and so they attempt to...

Still an amazing story hour, and a most amazing fight. Congrats again to Sagiro and his whole crew on yet another masterpiece installment. What's the average character level at this point? And for comparison, what was the age category of that dragon?

Sorry about that. :) [B] I'm playing the rogue in that game, with 8 dice of sneak attack and a +3 sword, and I haven't forced a massive damage save yet. [B] The thing is, Torvo isn't even really powergamed. Optimize, sure. But fighters get so many feats that abilities like Torvo's are...

I'm in that game with Unseelie, so I can answer that one for him (reconstructing the math from memory; I don't play this character). Torvo the dwarf is a Fighter 14/Barbarian 1. He has a STR base 20, with Gauntlets of Ogre Power +2. He uses a dwarven war axe 2 handed (for the 1.5x damage). He...

I think you should keep her. She's probably younger, and she's the rising star of the Zhentarim. In the intervening years after your last campaign ended, she would have come out of nowhere and made a name for herself, rising up to her current position -- in a fasion disturbingly similar to your...

*SPOILER WARNING* *REALLY, I'M NOT KIDDING. SPOILERS!* OK, still with me? I can think of two choices off-hand. The first would be to pick things up much, much later in the adventure -- perhaps even after the forces of Kiaransalee have triumphed in their war with Kurgoth...
