    Should there be ducks in the new RuneQuest?

    In one scenario there was a party searching a ruin. They used a detection spell and determined there was some treasure in the cesspool under the latrine. A noble and a duck went down to get the treasure. The noble is wading though the filth, the duck is swimming on top of it. They find the...

    Should there be ducks in the new RuneQuest?

    Ducks were so cool. They could be very annoying but as a race they were so cool. :)

    New Edition of RuneQuest

    The immersion in Glorantha was a glorious thing for RQ. It was a fantastic ancient world with loads of new takes on old things. The way they did the Troll race was the best. I had bought the AH version but never used it, it just wasn't what I wanted. My RQ group broke up around that time...

    Live 8

    If you want to educate about what Live 8 is about it gets political fast. Nature of the beast when you try to influence politics or discuss an attempt to influence politics. I heard that when Pink Floyd was reunited onstage they cut away from the performance so the DJs could remark about how...

    War Of The Worlds

    The boy showing up was a surprise, but I fully expected that it would be bacteria again. Main things humanity has going for it against aliens is perverse stubbornness and biology.

    War Of The Worlds

    I'd say see the older one after you see this one. Spoiler follows This version was good; better than I thought it would be. The sound and music made the few silences eeerie. The guy they hide out with in the cellar was flat out creepy. My wife noted that it seemed more politically correct...

    [Poll] What unusual PC races has your group played ?

    I played a lizardman once and that was cool. He would drink the blood from the heart of those he killed. halfway through the campaign the tough ranger died and three of the party members joined in to drink her blood to keep her strength with us. :) My wife has played a drow cleric of...

    Who pays for your group's "Party Leader" t-shirt?

    Wait five minutes and have the person next to you make the same suggestion. For some reason they party will likely love it. I think it has to do with familiarity with the concept; they think they've heard of the idea before so it must have worked sometime in the past or in a book. ;)

    Who pays for your group's "Party Leader" t-shirt?

    Yeah, but everone at the NCGameDay would agree you should wear it because that means you'll keep doing all that nasty organizational work! What a sweet deal that is! Give me a BoB shirt (Beast o' Burden) anyday. ;)

    Who pays for your group's "Party Leader" t-shirt?

    Since most of our in-party 'planning' consists of ever-rising levels of insults (mostly IC) leading to physical violence (always IC since we are, basically, wusses) this t-shirt idea would just add an unneccesary arguement event before the game. Anyone who thinks they lead our party needs a...

    Has D&D jumped the shark?

    They can design what they want but a good DM can always say no. The people I've played with never had a problem with making up their minds.

    Info on American States?

    I got to KW in the early 90s and I saw construction all over until I left in 98. The big lot they used to hold the State Fair on was the last piece of land to go and it had houses way too expensive to consider. even there they built this two foot tall wall to seperate the row of houses...

    Info on American States?

    Key West, Fl was a northern held city through the (ACW, WBtS, WoNA - choose your appellation for it. :) ) There was Union Navy base there and it was not easily attacked. There was a woman back then who would run up the Stars and Bars every so often and get it down and hidden by the time...

    I want the Batmobile.

    I did like the new one, once I saw the movie. It's not my fav for Batmobiles but it is cool in its way.

    What did you like better: Batman or SW Ep3?

    Batman Begins was an excellent retelling of the story, it was cool, fun and had some great lines in it. SW ep3 was a decent SW movie. It was far superior to the Ep 1 and 2 but not quite as good as ep4-6.

    A moral dilemma amidst ice and snow--what would you have done?

    The boy tells you he must be sacrificed but he was running away from the one he would be sacrificed to. Winter Wolves are able to protect the village from the Cold Ones. How? what power do they have that is not available to the fierce warriors of the village? The only one that all seem to...
