    [OT] Top 10 things we want to hear Mace Windu (Samuel L Jackson) say in new Star Wars

    That's because the original version was written before Episode 1. It was put together by a couple of friends of mine late one night after a few too many sodas. They were shocked to see it go around the world as many times as it did, and are equally shocked at its resurgent popularity with...

    Baby Pictures of the Elder Gods

    Think you could bring those by the next DG game, Sialia? We'd love to see... Piratecat, KidCthulhu: the true measure of your Rat Bastardness is not the amazing stories you tell on these boards, or the even more amazing rumors we get from your backyard on your miniconventions. The best measure...

    Are Rogues Useless?

    Absolutely. We already have two wizards and a cleric in the party. Rogues just give us even more options. Rogues have several built in, inherent strengths: * Rogues have tons of skill points. They are among the best spotters, listeners, disarmers, etc. Fear the intelligent rogue. Can some of...

    Are Rogues Useless?

    As someone who's playing a 10th level rogue, organically grown in a party all the way up from first level, hopefully I can add a little insight. In fact, we have two rogues in that party, and they're invaluable. We've never been in an anti-magic zone either, but I'm sure everyone would love the...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Heck, I jumped out of my seat here in my living room! Tres cool, tres creepy.

    [OT] Hey there, Dr. Midnight, what's going on with your love life right now?

    I'm wondering if the time spent later in the evening on her bed with her back to you was an unspoken request for cuddling/"spooning." The sister's assessment that Alison's shy definitely seems true, though -- she's giving a lot of shy-girl signs. The big one, as I see it, is making sure you...

    Baby Pictures of the Elder Gods

    It seemed like a good idea at the time to invite her. PC and KidCthulhu spoke so highly of her, and her posts on PC's Storyhour seemed so intelligent and witty. Now I'm just very, very afraid for my soul... :eek: :p :p :p --Swack-Iron

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    I've been here since Day One. Sagiro's and PC's have been my favorites. I check the boards every day to see if they've updated. Other than the regular news on the front page, this is the most important part of these boards to me. I fell for this one hook, line and sinker. So Sagiro, it's a...

    Shards of Stone:Core

    As the resident Fuzion-head, and a buddy of the primary author, I can tell you something about this amazing (and rare) product. Shards of the Stone: Core was to be the Core rulebook for a fantasy multiverse setting published by Obsidian Studios. The book's primary author is Sean Patrick Fannon...

    Dieties and Demigods!

    (Look I just quoted you! :) ) Sorry, shouldn't be any FR gods in DD. The month after DD comes out, Faiths and Pantheons comes out for the FR which includes lots of godly and clerical information. They won't be printing the same information in two books that are published a month apart. I'm...

    Azathoth took Toughness?

    Besides stat blocks? I don't know -- I haven't seen the book. I have my doubts that level-based character progression is suitable to the genre, but that's a discussion for another thread. IMO, any system that wants to simulate HPL's setting needs to, through mechanics and presentation, a) allow...

    Azathoth took Toughness?

    And if it's precision you want, than it sounds like d20 CoC will be a good book for you. I love the d20 stat block when it's describing stormtoopers, or orcs. I'm even looking forward to seeing it in Deities & Demigods and Faiths & Pantheons, since those are settings where there is a slim chance...

    Azathoth took Toughness?

    To be precise, I haven't liked any of the preview material I've seen. I haven't seen the full book. I don't expect to be buying it based on what I've seen so far -- and anyway, I already have all the CoC material I want to own (unless Pagan publishes some more DG). Of course I *like* d20. I...

    Azathoth took Toughness?

    Actually, I know those stats are in the Chaosium book. Frankly, I don't think they should be there, either. A horror an investigator can face, sure, but a primal force of the universe? Why does that need stats, when by the very definition of the setting humans can't comprehend it? And there's...

    Azathoth took Toughness?

    I'm sorry. I enjoy d20 Wheel of Time, and d20 Star Wars. But Azathoth's stat block is another prime example to me of why d20 Call of Cthulhu is just wrong, wrong, wrong! The horrors of Lovecraft's mythos are horrors precicely because they are alien and unfathomable, and beyond humanity's ability...

    Neverwinter Nights Release Date (?)

    That's an understandable attitude, from a fan standpoint. I have a friend, however, that is both a 3rd Ed. player and an employee of one of the companies working on the game, and I cannot accurately describe how excited he is about the it -- he's amazed at how well it does 3rd ed., how beautiful...
