    Wulf Ratbane's DARK HERESY

    Wulf, I'd just like to say this story hour reads wonderfully and is really making me interested in the Dark Heresy game. Now that you've got a session or two under your belt, what do you think of the system? -Ashrum

    More Star Wars

    I also suggest utilizing the terrain to the Sith Lords full advantage. Example: A battle through energy pilons that explode if struck by blaster fire or a light saber, and timed to give the murder machine Sith Lorrd and PC's a round to get away while energy arcs from the damaged pilon. The...

    Coolest part of your homebrew?

    A race of halfling sized barbarians warriors that live on the edge of an undead infested region. They hunt and kill undead on a daily basis, and then bring the corpses to a huge graveyard and ritually bury them in urns so they cannot rise again. The Grave Wardens are their elite undead killers...

    Naruto - The campaign

    Sounds like a blast to me. I'd love to play in something like that, with perhaps a slightly more adult storyline for the base. Of course you'd need to work on changing the player perception of why they do what they do. Killing things and taking their stuff doesn't really work anymore. Unless...

    Tell Me Your Best DM Dirty Tricks...

    My favorite was when my PC's assualted a giant stronghold. They cleared out the first level pretty handedly, but used a lot of resources breaking into the keep and clearing things out. So they retreated when they scouted ahead and saw the second level was crawling with more giants to rest. The...

    Best and worst kids shows as a parent?

    Hmm, gotta love the Veggietales. As for what I can't stand, barney, but I already new I couldn't stand that show before I had my son. But then he doesn't watch mutch TV anyway, and if I don't care for it, we simply don't watch it. -Ashrum

    Would you "subscribe" to D&D?

    Not a chance. Even with a discount that would most likely just cover shipping. So you're still pay pretty much full price, and quite frankly, I don't want all of their releases. Now that isn't a crack against WoTC, but I don't play in the realms and haven't bought a realms related book in...

    Shadowrun v4 - Your Experience

    Hmm, I've played first and second edition SR extensivly, but dropped out around third edition and only played that system once. I suppose it really depends on what parts of the "flavor" of past editions are important to you. For me, I truely dislike the moves with the magic system to combine the...

    Shadowrun v4 - Your Experience

    I've been DMing some SRv4 for the last few weeks and I've found some llikes and dislikes as you can well imagine. I've found the combat system to on average be fast and loose, allowing for some fun moments and for some nice combats. It is by and large a very deadly system, which is perfectly...

    Gaming Hoaxes

    My story revolves around the PC's just not thinking things through. They slowly made their way to a castle in the middle of a forest of crystals. these cyrstals would explode if to much noise was made near them, and they also blocked teleportation. So as you can imagine this place had few...

    Who plays DDM Skirmish?

    I've got a number of the mini's for use in my Friday night games, but I've never played and realy have no interest in playing the skirmish game. If I want to play a skirmish I'll pull out the warhammer 40K minis and play, or pull out my warmachine minis. Better rules and better mini's to play...

    Hirst Arts: ORdering my first mold tonight.

    I'll second the recommendation of the Excalibur dental plaster. I tried normal plaster and it was just to flimsy for what I wanted, plus it mixes nicer as well. I just finished assembly the structure of my first ruined building and the blocks a fabulous. Any building issues where from me...
