correction I mentioned blue gender, what i meant was Perfect Blue. It is a crazy, psychological thriller about a j-pop star making a transition to the movies. doesn't sound so great but, a lot happens, it is at least a good rental. jdavis said, "Reflection is supposed to be depressing (and...

I have his collection of short stories "Reave the Just." However, I started the one called Penance and was not really impressed. I didn't get far into it, though. What do you think of his books what do you recommend? I noticed the Covenant chronicles mentioned on another board about series...

I saw a trailer for "Voices of Distant Star" and ADV has been hyping it pretty well. "Saiyuki" is a retelling of the Journey West. I, too, must express that "Samurai X" (Kenshin) is really good. And one great thing is you can get Trust and Betrayal on one disc on the Directors Cut. Any...

this might be taboo (since this is a d20 board), but Marvel just released a new rpg. complete with a book on the X-Men. Inquest magazine about two months ago has an sample of the game. I got the core book and the X-men book. They are cool, thin, with tons of pics from the comics. The system...

I want to get my group playing some d20 modern, and/or Star Wars or Cthulhu. My players are very staunch D&D players, what should I do? Do I just spring it on them or let them know, "next time we will be doing something different." what do you all think? what would you do?

a good deterent this happened to me at work at least twice in the same day. It was a saturday, which meant no one called in with problems an basically you had 4-6 hours of free time. So i had the three 3e core rulebooks out on my desk, characters sheets, and notes for a module. First...

Right now I have started the following: Return of the King--Tolkien Shadows of Lucifer--Collected Stories for Demon:the Fallen. Sorcerer--Troy Denning (Archwizards book 3) and a bunch o' comics.

We have tried to make combat run smoother, but with limited success. We are a small group maybe 3-5 any given week and one encounter could take a half-hour. We have a lot of book readers and rule lawyers. So each move is calculated and re-hashed which takes the risk and fun out of the game at...

Sometimes I think the DM has to remind players of their race and personality, but I don't really see a problem with what you were doing. We had a Paladin in our group who was more interested in looting dead bodies while other characters fought, so he was always being reminded "hey your the...

All of these are great. I don't think my group has nearly the quality of some of these. But I'll give it a shot: Our more arrogant players will roll a 19, or 20 and instead of saying natural 19 or 20 they say "19 naturally" in a cocky voice. When they do score a critical hit we use the...

I use a lot of names from anime. Ex. Van Finnell--Escaflowne Record of Lodoss War is good for inspiration, i have put magic items based on items from anime. Mostly names for characters really, Eraiyah (Quatre's sister in Gundam Wing), Trieze (Gundam Wing). A half-orc named Spopovitch...

most of my fighter-types are sword shield. A few two handed weapons. i would say the majority of my fighter types are bastard sword (with exotic weapon prof. to use in one hand) and a shield. good question.

I wouldn't call it a setting, but Avalanche Press' modules and game information is d20, but lacks in the magic. My group played "Last Days of Constantinople" and the dm said look if you are bringing magic or are a even a cleric think before you use those abilities. It was pretty interesting...

Passing notes: we do pass notes on occassion, especially if only one character made a spot check or something of the like. We had a newer player playing with us and several people passed notes and he didn't get one, he became very upset. So the next session he made a point of passing a note...

if you go here: http://www.historychannel.com/comicbook/ you can enter thier contest and take a comic book quiz.... the quiz was pretty easy...

Dragonlance is definitly up there. Troy Denning's/Greenwood's Cormyr series I think my favorite though is Knight of the Black Rose (who doesn't love Lord Soth)....

If you are talking a series (despite all the editing errors) and a series with good entertainment value: Clan War The clan books of L5R by WotC. I think i was six books Scorpion Unicorn Crane Crab Lion Dragon Also i read these more recently than any other book series, (like Dragonlance) so...

thanks all. I will look at these and I have a birthright box set, perhaps I can use also (though it might be to simplistic--calvary, infantry, archers---what about special units)...

I am looking for some options on how to carry out a full-scale invasion of my PC's homeland. I have the armies, the stats, divisions and plan on having PC's as members and generals of these divisions. I am however at a lose on how to run this. I was wondering if any of you have some advice...

What I like to do is use published Good-aligned characters to fight the evil party. Good NPC's could have been hired to put a stop to a band of surface raiding drow. Also, an evil thing to do to players with evil characters is have them fight their good characters in a bar or in a town that...
