    How Much Steel can a Longbow Pierce?

    How Much Steel can a Longbow Pierce?

    Can anybody answer this question? I need to know for a story I'm writing if a traditional English longbow can penetrate or otherwise inconvenience the armour of a main battle tank or armoured personnel carrier. If such a feat is impossible for a longbow, I'd still like to know.

    Running gags in the campaign

    When I ran my second game session, I called for Spot checks. One of the players got something like 6 or 7, so I told him, "You see a very interesting rock." He responded by picking up the rock. Now, whenever he rolls less than 10 on a Spot check, he's too occupied with studying the rock to...

    Anyone else trying to write a book?

    I've written a five-part fantasy epic (I hope that term can apply) that I'm hoping to get published. I submitted part 1 to WotC's Open Novel Call, but I haven't heard anything; the fact that Canadian stamps aren't valid in the US is probably a good reason why. The hardest part is finding a...

    Resenting superheroes, and the real world

    The Gotham City Police Department was the most corrupt department in DC's United States. Gordon was the only good cop, and he came from Chicago. Batman cleaned up what he could on the streets, got the crooks and the crooked cops terrified of him, and Gordon cleaned up the department.

    Humorous descriptions for skill failures/successes

    Wizards Open Call for Novels

    I didn't find out until after I'd sent my entry that Canadian stamps aren't valid in the US, so they can't use my SASE to tell me if I've been rejected.

    Best opening move...

    Same save, higher DC to hit, but toss them (4xForce user) metres into the air. When they hit the ground, Reflex DC (10+[distance fallen/4]) or take (distance fallen/4)d6 damage straight to wounds. Can't dissipate that, monkeyboy!

    Faux pas - putting your worst foot forward

    If that had happened to me, I wouldn't have hung around long enough to see him laugh. I would've been gone, assumed my career was over, and started looking for a new employer.
