    How did you spend your New years?

    Watching the fireworks with the neighbours. Then back to the PC and the internet.

    [Black Company] Anyone going to run a game?

    What do the skills command and profession: soldier do exactly? I'm figuring the profession would encompass basic tactical knowledge, building camps and recognizing military ranks; is there more to it? I take it action points work as described in Unearthed Arcana?

    [Black Company] Anyone going to run a game?

    I think, I'll be going with a more martial bent, a rogue/fighter equivalent. What differences to the 3.5 versions should I be aware of? EDIT: Using Krug's template I did a write up of what I have so far: [See next page] I still have to do some more tweaking, add some more equipment and of...

    Is hard sci-fi really appropriate as a rpg genre?

    One would have to make a distinction between possible and probable. Intelligent, English speaking bunnies are definitely a possibility (after all there's no law of nature stating that they aren't), but it's very improbable. Poof, no problem left. Regarding Jellyfishes: Again it is a matter of...

    Do you really like Star Wars?

    Being a 'young one' I have never fallen to the original Star Wars hype. I read the novelizations at some point and liked them enough to go and watch the movies. From the PoV of today the effects are not that inspiring, nor would I expect them to be, but after reading the story, the movies at...

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    [Black Company] Anyone going to run a game?

    While I would love to be a wizard, my not having the CS makes it pretty much impossible. Go for it, I say ;) For my character I imagine a rogue type, focusing on stealth and surprise. Background as 'emissary' for a crime boss, now disgraced and on the run. Edit: My address is dakkareth [at]...

    [Black Company] Anyone going to run a game?

    I would simply love to play in the Black Company setting, though I don't have the Campaign Setting. In fact I've been on the lookout for such a game here since I heard of the CS being created (unfortunately me being in Europe and short on money means I can't get it). :) Edit: If there's still a...

    Another "real-world" choice: Pick one feat...

    As epic feats sadly are not allowed and I don't have any Complete books I'd take leadership. Or maybe the thrallherd version thereof :] The real fun is in the epic feats ... blinding speed, energy resistance, epic toughness, extended lifespan, perfect health, polyglot, ... :cool:

    City of the Spider Queen

    Just in case you missed it, unlikely as it is. Rayex has internet problems but we will continue once he's resolved them. :)

    Call of Cthulhu: The Nature of Madness?

    Also consider, that there's a big difference between imagining something and actually witnessing it. We can rationally believe that there is no point to humanity, we can picture the basic shape of some tentacled monster, we can create in our mind disturbing scenes of violence, etc. We are...

    Other Aliases

    I'm Dakkareth just about everywhere I feel comfortable. One-shot accounts or places where I wouldn't want to place my name are the exception.

    So What Did Santa Bring You?

    Things I got in no particular order: Books about clinical neurology(downright insane, probably a hint that I should study medicine :confused: ), cognitive science and algorithms (looks like heavy but interesting stuff), whale intelligence, ancient celtic and germanic astronomy devices and a few...

    OOC: City of the Spider Queen [Full]

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    So, while my sisters are busy baking christmas cakes and stuff, I'll lean back, grab some cookies and read the christmas update. What could be better than sitting in a warm room, listening to good music and reading about the cosmic misery [Shemeska] is about to inflict on his players? :D . . ...

    New Harry Potter on July 16 2005

    IIRC what she actually said was a very general statement: --- Interviewer: Are you going to kill any more characters? Rowling: Yes, sorry. --- Anyway, while not trembling with anticipation, I'm looking forward to another book of simple, solid fun interlaced with hard as crack escapism. :)

    The offical ENWorld The Return of the King Extendend Edtion DVD reaction thread.

    Ahhh, the preciousss case arrived today. Of course my sister immediately took it and won't let me see or touch it, but as it's technically hers ... I need a few days of build-up anyway. Watching the trailers, remembering the last years, etc. I wanted to *read* the books again before watching...

    [LOL] People giving MMORPGs a bad name

    Well, you know that video of the Star Wars kid made its way around the world? Here's another of those internet phenomena, though even more humiliating for the poor 'protagonist'. Eric's grandma probably wouldn't be too happy about it and I'm not sure about it being SFW either, so I'm leaving it...
