    A name for the bar with no name...

    I've been leaning toward Drunken Demon myself. It is awfully alliterative.

    A name for the bar with no name...

    How about the name "The Drunken Demon" or "The Stoned Demon?" In memory of one of our first adventures?

    Playing this Sunday, post Turkey Day?

    Guys, I can't make it until 4 or 4:30. I have to do this stupid calendar at work. Aaargh. Bane of my existence.

    Character Death

    As I have mentioned before, the D20 versions of White Wolf's Adventure and Aberrant games use a mechanism called "dramatic editing," in which the players actually have the ability to rewrite a scene more to their liking. As the Adventure book points out "Dramatic editing is a function of your...

    Character Death

    Whereas, having your game end because of a crappy role of the dice is NOT a letdown. You have played a perfect game, overcome all the obstacles and reached the climax of the game. Then the bad guy rolls a crit, you fail a saving throw and the game is done. All your investment and time spent...

    Character Death

    I've been wanting to comment on this thread since yesterday, but it is such a broad subject that I have been having a hard time narrowing my thoughts down. So here I sit, stuffed full of turkey and half-asleep. Let's see what I can come up with. There are basically two kinds of role-playing...

    Gaming company customer service

    Some of you may notice I have been using a Charon Productions' "Ultimate Gaming Satchel" with the map and dice pockets to bring my stuff to games when I am playing. It is the black bag I usually bring to Conan (not the big blue case.) I bought it last year after GenCon after seeing one with the...

    Just curious. I'd really like to get Yuri up to level 9. 1,600 xp to go bay-b.

    Wednesday morning gaming

    Vince and I were talking about playing something on Wednesday mornings, because we are like night owls and such. Anyone interested in trying something on Wednesday mornings? Those of you with schedules that allow?

    Conan

    So, who all is coming tomorrow? Do we have enough to play?

    Conan

    That was my understanding also. There is a second part or a continuation of the SW adventure we played, but Jason is doing something anniversary related this weekend, if I remember correctly.

    Gaming Table

    Well, I do have the TOON rules from Steve Jackson Games, Big Ears Small Mouse from Guardians of Order and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game from Palladium. All three deal with playing anthromorphic animals. I'm not sure whether Big Ears specifically allows rodent-usable firearms, but I think...

    Old-school gaming -- Traveller style

    Maybe this could be a morning game? It doesn't sound like there is a lot of interest from anyone except us night owls... (He says after finally getting finished at work at 3 a.m. in the morning)

    Are you saying that you are less interested in the ROLE portion and more interested in the ROLL portion, or vice versa?

    Heya OG. Could you bring that Game of Thrones book on Sunday? If you are done with it. I'd like to loan it to Vince to see how it would fit with Inzeladun.

    Old-school gaming -- Traveller style

    As I have endlessly bored everyone with, I have been watching and really enjoying the cancelled TV series Firefly and the associated movie, Serenity. I have read references that indicate creator Joss Whedon played the old-school RPG Traveller and it was one of his influences for the show. Even...

    A question

    The problem with McDonald's coffee is that the company insists on serving their coffee much hotter than any other restaurant's coffee. I assume some company beancounter figure out that it was cheaper to keep their coffee extremely hot and have to pay off a lawsuit now and again, than for every...

    What Changes to Inzeladun?

    Yeah. Sad but true. Guardians of Order came out with BESM D20 in 2003 before 3.5 came out. In 2004, in a flurry of activity they put out a revised edition. Except they sent the wrong manuscript to the printers or some such and actually printed a book that mixes 3.0 compatible rules with 3.5...
