    Thank you, Michikawa! I love your works and the "essence"-CD is on the player for the third time now. We will start playing in an hour or so - I wonder how the gang will like it... Keep up this good work! Dougal P.S.: I especially like the part of anxious thoughts where the percussion comes...

    Rolemaster. And I bet somewhere out there is a critical table for dropping the soap.

    Actual Quotes to actual callers

    The best I experienced in a software hotline was when a customer was yelling so loud for nearly an hour that we could hear from from several meters away. Then suddenly the guy that was trying to talk to turned on the speaker of his phone and said "Sir, please open a window." "What kind of...

    Life is Broken!

    Oh yeah, in D&D you can say "let me do the diplomacy, I have the highest CHA!" while in real life those doing the diplomacy for many others are usually outstanding in that they have single digit INT and WIS - if they had stats that is ;)

    Player vs player hostility

    Hello Nellisir. I have seen two campaigns end because of players just like player Y. They slowed the flow of things to a crawl in regards to campaign progress. At some point other players decided that the game was too slow to get them any fun out of it, so they quit and the campaign (and the...

    Spacemaster Space Opera : Running the gauntlet (updated 10/28/05)

    06 - Harm set, harm get. “Let me introduce us, Chraron. These are Rico, our pilot and Dodger, our weapons expert. I am Boris, a diplomat of our company.” “An armed diplomat? You are used to heated arguments then, I presume?” “I can care for my own in a conflict, but heating things is really...

    What do you do beyond combat?

    Give the players additional individual goals, that are different - not different enough to start a fight, but different enough that they have to talk it out. And make clear that they all can only reach their main goal (which should be the same for them) when working together. Inner party...

    When Do You (GM) Kill PCs?

    When playing D20 (AU or SW) it's faulty tactics that kills the players, not the dice. But as we are playing spacemaster at the moment, the players usually die due to critical hits, not loss of hit points. I _had_ the option of fudging a critical hit while reading it aloud, but the players took...

    How Did/Will You Name Your Kids?

    We decided to name our son Wolf. It is an old name in germany and not too common. Apart from that we liked the "peter and the wolf" theme (my name is Peter) plus we are both werewolf fans... ;) Dougal

    05 – Shipwrecked The surface of the third planet in the Kale System was lit by the small blue star in the centre of this star system, accenting every contrast due to the hard light it emitted. The air was a breathable mix of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases. The radiation level was just...

    Best Sword (Or any weapon type) Fights ever?

    Darklone says: I'm a little bit shocked, most proposals here come from movies made in the last 20 years... There's an old Zorro movie still in black and white where they fight in a belltower swinging on the bellropes, fencing wise this one tops any Princess Bride duel by magnitudes. Kill...
