#90 - The 'Standard' Point-Buy. The system scales linearly. WHY, oh WHY don't the @!%#$! point-buys? A 12 is to a 14 as a 16 is to an 18. The 'Standard' point-buy does not mimic this. At all. And don't get me started on the Power-shift this annoying Cow does for races. Hmm, 1 feat and...

I'm full up for games right now - BUT - have you checked out BostonGamers? Its a Yahoo group of 800+ folks in the Boston area. Lots of gamers, good folks. I've had good luck with it in the past, both finding players and starting groups. :)

Ah, but the Storyteller gave you the answer. Only a nuke would hurt the Elder. So, obviously, when you get out, steal a nuke, and destroy this massive complex, and it with it. Heck, the place sounds large enough to absorb most of the explosion anyway, no one else need know what happened. The...

Ohhhh - Vile Magical Dungeon Dressing! Statues, Tapestries, elaborate wall carvings - all of which have some magical effect. A statue which, at first, simply makes those who fail the save want to take it with them. And given that it looks harmless, just a slightly unusual pose, why not...

In Your Eyes - my personal favorite :D

It is all about assumptions. You are assuming one thing, the DM is assuming another. I would have a chat, starting with just that: 'We seem to assuming different things based on the same sentances.' You say X, I hear X, but assume X+Y. I say A, you hear me say A, and assume that also means...

The standard Eberron model of APs won't cause a major change in the game. Using the far, far more liberal options from Unearthed Arcana, which include regaining just cast spells, using a feat you don't have (which, given Epic feats....), an extra action (move and full attack....), and even, if...

My general theory is that a Melee character wants to have a minimum AC of 15 at level 1, and roughly a +1 to that for each level to remain as a viable melee character. So, level 10, AC: 25 would be minimum for fighter-types. AC:30 would be around the high end for full-time AC - spells and the...

The easiest solution is to simply require only one forbidden school. I'm playing a Diviner right now in the Shackled City, just hit level three. (Whoo-Hoo, I've got power now!) I took Illusion as my forbidden school. So no invis, no blur and no Mirror Image. *shrug* I can live with it...

Chocolate is good - a molten chocolate cake with ice cream.. :) Of course, warm apple pie a la mode also has a special place in my heart. But my favorite cake is an Oatmeal cake - a rich, moist cake with a light butter/milk/powdered sugar frosting (the only kind of frosting I can stomach, some...

Dragons Vampires Orcs Werewolves Zombies Mummies Cthulu/mindflayers/cephelpodlings/Kraken/Giant Squid Faeries/Pixes Centaurs/Fauns Merfolk Sea Serpents should actually be in there somewhere....

I have to say - very disappointed. I wouldn't reccomend it seeing it. Why? They added/extened stuff that was unneccessary (dragon clawing roofs of Hogwarts? Huh? Horntails can't fly!) and did a poor job what should have been pivitol moments. ACCIO FIREBOLT! was more like accio firebolt...

How is the interface? Imagine you have no keyboard - only a mouse. How playable is the game? How many simple right or left clicks versus shift clicks or click and drags to accomplish basic tasks? (for example, a build queue in a town, or to bring up infomation on a square, or switch from...

A snake, a rabbit, fire elemental and a monkey walk into a bar. That is to say a Yaun-Ti, a Hengeyoki (sp?) samurai, a fire Genasi fighter and a Vanara cleric(monkey race from OA). Then the monkey turned green. And his tail grew a face. And it was cut off. That was a weird game. :D

Tasty with fries, and tasty when Fried! Great with ketchup! Good to share with friends! A brain so tasty you don't eat it all at once! ? :lol: And it was a very nice wedding/mini-con. :) Still enjoying the story.

I will probably pick it up. I played Civ1 & Civ2 a LOT, SMAC TONS (SMAC2 must happen!) and of course, the precious MOM. My 3 main complaints about Civ3, and the reason I didn't play it as much are: Combat system failure. CIv2 had a great sombat system. SMAC had a brillant terrific combat...

This looks so Freakin' BAD. I've gotta see it. The trailer got massive laughs when it was show to the Serenity crowd. Especially the FPS scenes. And the chainsaw. My vote is for: Real Darn Bad, and Real Darn Entertaining.

I prefer a 1 to 1 point buy. 79 points. Give the players all 12s, allow them to adjust +1/-1 as they wish. (72 points to distribute as they wish) Works out OK - low to moderate power campaign. All 13s - moderate to high power (78 points). All 14s - Super heros, CRs no longer accurate (84...

The Lions of Al-Rassan had me in tears by about page 40 or so. Can not reccommend book highly enough. Sooooo Good. Hyperion by Dan Simmons. The first story, and the Merlin's Disease get me every time. Just knock the breath out, hard to breath, emotional impact.

I have to toss is a vote for Lost in Space. The planet was turning into a Black Hole. Not possible. Sorry, insufficient mass. Most Suns don't turn into black holes, never mind planets. And regarding the Black Hole movie - it is based on a theory called the Einstein-Rosen bridge...
