    OotS 614 up

    Yeah, but you then need to have the dagger critique the rogue's choices during the shopping spree for both style AND utility... because it can't be associated with an unfashionable "owner." It doesn't care about the owner per se, just that it has pride in it's appearance, and doesn't like to be...

    Do you like XP costs for magic item creation?

    Not a fan. I too think there are typically better ways of balancing items. I can at least occasionally see it in the case of things like Wish (where you're making something for 'free', so the idea of pulling out the essence of the caster in the form of XP or level drain of some sort makes sense)...

    [Meta-Troll]

    Mocks Herobizkit's and Dannyalcatraz's lack of orginality, points out that only geeks quote Monty Python, snickers to self. Mumbles something about feeling fine and not wanting to go on the cart. Finds that the whole thread smells of elderberries.

    Hit points- The final frontier

    I'd argue that it might be possible to instead add bits to the conditoins already in 4e. I'd get rid of Saga's penalties somewhat (I might add some in for certain types of OFFENSIVE actions, but make things like Second Wind more generally effective in those conditions to compensate. So the game...

    I Need Simple Spaghetti Recipes!

    Olive oil, sage, rosemary, some good sausage (preferably without a casing), a little hard grating cheese, some plum tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. And don't forget the noodles! Grind/chop the sausage down to small chunks, and saute them. chop up the sage, and halve the tomatoes. Warm...

    Caipirinhas!

    Curaçao should be pretty good; being orange-flavored, it should blend pretty well.

    Caipirinhas!

    You mean quite similar to a mojito.. they're both basically made from spirits distilled from fermented sugarcane (the treatment is somewhat different), lime juice, and sugar. Mojitos are a little lighter on the tongue, being made with carbonated water and mint, in addition to the other...

    The Imperial Age: Help!

    Definitely #2 then!

    The Imperial Age: Help!

    If it's that modular, then that's seriously great, as it sounded more like a set list of spells. Modular magic systems are a major plus in my opinion. Still, what IS the Engine FX? That still confuses me. I assume it's steampunk engines. Is that correct?

    The Imperial Age: Help!

    Is this mecha/steampunk stuff? or simply machinery in general? (I haven't seen the line, but I'd certainly be interested in it, given the right price.) Anyways, I'd probably want either 2 or 4. London... hrmm.. I'd be interested, but I kind of feel that it deserves it's own sourcebook, ala...

    Rant: CHILD Ghost Hunting shows.

    I dunno. If it were an animated TV series, it could be decent.

    How long should a standard combat last?

    Count me in the low end, around 10-20 minutes max, but preferably sub-10 minutes, even) Now, where do I absolutely want to draw the line? 30 minutes tops. Mostly because that's just about the max I'm willing to go to let players choose their actions. It's the difference between 4-5 players who...

    Fallout 3 Has Gone Gold; System Specs

    Mythic's "minimum" specs for Warhammer Online are apparently this way, even to the point of supposedly being designed for medium graphics values with framerates of roughly 20 fps. (20-30 average fps w/ drops of no lower than 10 fps is what I consider "playable", but others may vary) Needless to...

    The d20 and Expectations of Success - A Quick Study

    This is assuming D&D as of 3rd edition or later... and a success rate for the "average" character without any special bonuses or penalties of 50%. I'd go lower than most and say a 5-6. But the reason is this: if I'm putting enough effort to really go as far as possible and make my special trick...

    Anyone here getting Warhammer: Age of Reckoning?

    Yes, there's stealth in WAR. It's pretty limited though; it is limited only to the 2 lowest armor melee DPS classes (one per side... and in both cases they are the most WoW rogue-like classes), and stealth drains their AP while active (your attack resource for all classes, though some classes...

    Pork or Barbacoa Black Beans Peppers & Onions Rice Hot Salsa if Barbacoa or Salsa Verde if Pork Cheese Sour Cream Guacamole Myself, I'm a fan of Salsa Verde in combination with pork, though I've had it and other similar sauces enough with beef that I know it goes well with beef too. But I...

    Help Me Trap This Temple

    Rechan, I think the plant turrets are a bit too much.. just the zombie (even assuming it doesn't attack the PCs directly unless attacked) + gas + pits seem like they'd be enough. After all, at 2-3 damage per round per PC, already the gas would kill many low level PCs in a matter of 7-10 rounds...

    Help Me Trap This Temple

    Give 'em a classic gas trap. However, make the gas apparent on first notice.. no DC to notice... basically it should just fill a portion of the room and obscure sight.. and do a bit of damage per round if they don't get down on the ground. Then use a couple of pit traps that require getting up...

    Shadowrun Resources

    The Dumpshock forums are pretty good. They've got a lot of fan material, and are a main fan resource for rules questions. There are people there run and/or play the all editions from 1st edition to 4th, and will discuss them all. They're at http://forums.dumpshock.com and are where I'd start...
