The voice of Jor-El was supplied by Terence Stamp, whom Superman fans may know from the second movie as General Zod. E.

Yeah, I tried the whole 'list of names appropriate to races/cultures' thing, and it went over like a lead balloon with my players. As far a David goes, remember, in the Bible he was both a warrior and a poet. Even if you only take the Old Testament as literature, and not Scripture, this makes...

My recommendation would be to see Redux, just so you can see the movie as Coppola intended. However, if you are pressed for time, the original is still an exellent film. There are scenes in Redux that don't add much, but then there is a sequence on a French plantation that I thought made up...

There is also a book called "Forbidden Kingdoms", it is a d20 setting just for pulp adventures. I never bought it because my players weren't into that stuff, but I looked at it often. If you can find it, then you don't need to adapt anything, but I don't know how well it did when it was...

These were the names of of my friends' characters Jyseria (human bard) Alice (human fighter) Feyline (elf fighter) Holly (elf cleric) Lilla (human cleric) Briana (human wizard) Pruuma (half-orc cleric) Now, what's this hypothesis?

For mood music before gametime, I often listen to Rush, especially the Fly By Night and Caress of Steel albums. Both contain songs that are fantastic (in D&D sense-FBN even has a song about Rivendell), and can be used as tavern music with no lyric changes at all. I even based an campaign arc...

Hi, I'm new to the Burlington area (starting at UVM in fall), and I would like to play DnD (but I'm open to other RPGs). If you used to live here, could you tell me where the gaming store is? my email is ericshawn@mac.com Thanks, eric

Another thing, Wonder Woman's powers are magical (I think), and Superman has had a vulnerability to magic for a long time now.

Back to the original question, and the subsequent points about different branches sharing uniforms, consider this: In the Vietnam era, Marine and Army uniforms (excluding SOG and other Special Forces units) were the standard olive drab. Then, (I don't know exactly when) both branches switched...

Takyris: beautiful, just beautiful! I wish I could come up with something like that. Anyway, I haven't done much that was that evil in my current campaign as a DM, but a few years ago as a player I sold the entire world out to a powerful demon (homebrew lord of chaos and death) just so I...

I agree with Hand of Evil, whenever Spike (pre-soul) did something good, he was sure to bring it to Buffy's attention, which to me means that he was doing good not for its own sake, but for the praise/rewards it could get him. Also, Merlion, when did they explicitly state that vamps can't eat...

I had a 2e hob-er-halfling theif named Frank N. Sense. He had a pet cat named Myrrh

I don't know what the levels would be, but I think the classes would be like this: D'argo: Barbarian - Luxan Hyper-rage Aeryn: Fighter Pip (I mean Chiana): Rogue, what else? Rygel: Aristocrat Nyranti (or however it's spelled): Adept Sikozou: Expert Scorpius: not sure Chrichton...

My first session of 3e, we were playing Theives in the Forest. My paladin had already been knocked unconscious by bugbears, and now we were going into the temple. At the urging of the Bard, I ran up the stairs chasing one of the theives. Unfortunately, two of his buddies were waiting on...

I love season 2. This line from Giles sums up why: "Since Angel has lost his soul he's regained his sense of whimsy."

To Mr. Fidgit: To avoid having thousands of undead wandering about after wars, the cleric would ahead of time give the last rites to the participants (which is what I understand the Catholic church did in the Middle Ages). While my concerns about undead are real (and have been since my first...

To Mr. Fidgit: One of my friends (an atheist in the real world) brought up the question about everyone having a god the other day. In cases where the god is not known, or if the person has no god, then a ritual and prayer to Wee Jas is sufficient to consign the spirit to the afterlife. To...

I like the cultural notes. I don’t know if I would go with a Tiny 1d6 weapon. Knowing my characters, they would all want one, and it would lose any exotic flavor. I do like the increased damage for a heavy crossbow (I might use it). The siege bow won’t come up in my campaign, but it looks...

Disturbed (as a DM) of the many corpses either thrown into the woods/river or buried in a shallow mass grave, I was looking for a way to have such mistreated souls return as undead. It would work something like this: If a person dies and is not given the proper rite either just prior to dying...

I have to say BJ, because he seemed more grounded. He was able to bring Hawkeye out of his occasional funk, yet still contribute to the hijinx, and that's the kind of sidekick I need.
