Is there still any way to acquire F.A.T.A.L.? The part of my mind that gawks at car accidents want to see if it's really as bad as the reviews indicate.

Why not let the plan come to fruition? Let the Goddess of Tyranny win. The PCs can still have a bit of an upbeat ending by, say, gathering a group of refugees together in a ragtag fleet, sailing off into the setting sun as they found a colony, swearing that they will return to liberate their...

So, let me get this straight. You're on a mission to rescue some prisoners-- who have not been executed by their captors. One or more of those prisoners is a PC? I assume the PC has at the very least made an escape attempt; I can't imagine a PC who would just sit by and wait to be rescued...

Hedy Lamarr patented spread spectrum communications during WWII.

Just received my copy from Amazon today; looking forward to some time to myself to read it.

Thanks! Reveling in a little nostalgia right now.

I'd be a LOT more surprised if they had shown the same mercy and gallantry to male assassins; it's kind of a staple of modern fiction that the female assassin is never really all that evil, and can be, um, persuaded to be more friendly. The fact that one PC developed a crush on his would-be...

There's your reason. Your players were thinking Elektra or Lady Deathstrike or Jinx from Die Another Day. Hot female assassins FTW.

'Cause one of the first demon lords loved to shuffle his feet on carpet, sneak up behind other demons, and tap them on the ear. Or perhaps, the Abyss, being a plane of immense chaos, and mutable forms, the very atoms that make up the plane have their electrons less strongly-bound, thus making...

A few options come to mind. Blackmail. "Surrender now or (person important to one or more PCs) dies!" PCs have heard a rumor that (person important to long-term goal) is a prisoner. Nobody knows where. PCs arrange to let themselves be captured in order to find out where the McGuffin is being...

"A dragon, two air elementals, a clay golem and an efreet? I kill 'em. How am I going to do that? But I'm a barbarian, I should know what weapon to use on each of them. My character should know, can't I just roll an attack and kill them all? Tactics? My character should know what tactic to use...

I go out of my way to get Coca Cola in glass bottles. Not sure if it's the glass or the fact that it's imported from Mexico and made with cane sugar (instead of corn syrup) but whatever it is, just stomps all over cans or plastic.

It's also available from Drivethrurpg.com for $25 (standard, non-deluxe edition).

How about a decades-old underground coal fire? Centralia, PA Steaming cracks in the ground, sinkholes, choking smoke that erupts from the ground without warning, and that's all before you even enter the caverns with hellish temperatures, treacherous footing, collapsing tunnels. Just how much...

That really wasn't a good thing for us impulse shoppers. Now I'm having to hide my purchase from my wife and having it shipped to my work address. Hope I can sneak it into the house before she realizes I just dropped about $100 on more books.

Do no Evil?

By chance using Firefox with Noscript?

OK, if you're dealing with the gaps between times and places, then time and space have to, eventually, have some indivisible measure; in real life, these are the planck length and planck second. So, quantamancy. Quantamancer. Colloquially, gap mages. To denigrate them, opposing schools call them...

Old Riddle, New Solution

With a few changes, this would actually be fantastic. Stronger paper, maybe even semi-laminated, to prevent the pull-through from the MC's; more precisely drilled holes; a 4" D-ring binder; laminated full-color cardstock dividers with pockets on the back sides; cumulative exhaustive indices with...
