Here we are at the half and that darn Zizou continues to play the tournament of a lifetime. Hoping the Portugese can get one of those close misses into the net next half!

XP are way too much work for me. I just tell my players when they gain a level. Likewise money. My games are rarely about acquisition of items, anyway, so it's never been an issue. If a player wants to buy something significant, we decide what's reasonable and figure it out. I hate...

No suggestions, other than Call of Cthulhu will have lots of detail and info for you, and watch Miller's Crossing as many times as you can. But it sounds like GREAT fun!

That was the best game I've seen all tournament. Still dunno if the Italians can beat the French team I saw dissecting Brazil so effectively, but you never know which team's going to show up to play this tournament...

From standard d20 combat? Yes, it's a COMPLETELY different way of looking at combat. Your brain will have to do some serious gymnastics to figure it out. Dunno yet. I have in the back of my mind a plan to create a "Narrative Combat for True20" guide so that True20ers can use it, too. But the...

I used it a couple of times as my Barsoom campaign wound up. I liked it, though it takes a few run-throughs to really understand how it works. Very useful way of handling large-scale combats, and for setting up "non-standard" combats -- one of the climactic battles on Barsoom involved sort of...

I can vouch for the spectacular quality of Claudio's character illos. I got a set for my Barsoom gang: Isaac, Elena, Etienne, Arrafin, and Nevid. Awesome. The image of Elena is my favourite image Claudio's ever done, actually. She looks so awesomely bad-ass, so grim and yet so fetching at the...

I think it's important, but keep in mind there are sources of art other than custom-built drawings. Plenty of old images are public domain; good scans of those could do you a lot of good. Also consider online stock image sources; often they offer some images free of charge and you might be able...

Oh, yeah. The actual rules writing is occasionally TERRIBLE. Trying to figure out how damage works was an adventure -- not at all helped by assorted misprints. There are some real production problems in the book. I mean, the official character sheet has MAJOR errors on it! It has spaces for...

:confused: I'm trying to imagine what you might have heard. About how AWESOME Mutants and Masterminds is? Or how totally cool Skull and Bones is? Freeport? The Black Company Campaign Setting? Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing? Green Ronin seem to go from one great release to another. What are...

A five on Quinn's Will save, right there. Well done.

I Love Lucy. Personally, I couldn't stand Dragonlance, but with Lucy on board, I'm in. She can do ANYTHING. I bet she can fly and shoot lasers from her eyes. No such thing as too much Lucy Lawless.

Congratulations, James. Dungeon is one of the great shining beacons of quality and usefulness in the RPG world right now. It's in good hands.

I think Claudio and I should co-direct. At least we KNOW the casting will be solid, right (as far as the female leads go, anyways)? ;) I can take care of the screenplay, so we're saving even MORE money! Actually, that's not the craziest idea I ever heard in my entire life. Whaddya say, Claudio?

Sign me up for True20. Not sure what you're meaning by you'd rather track hit points than skill points, Whisperfoot. Maybe you meant health levels? Anyway, yeah, for speedy NPC generation (I created a 9th-level spellcasting big bad in 20 minutes -- from concept to stat block) and fun gameplay...

Dras sneered at the cowled figures assembled around the strange, multi-tiered altar. "If I ever start my own heathen religion, I'm choosing better uniforms." Quinn only grunted as he drew his cutlass. "Eight of them, four of us." The interior of the chapel flickered with dank, guttering...

Both Ikiru and Stray Dog are well worth the money and the time and are also films I watch again and again. And Ranger REG, nobody can prove it was me at the ranch. I burned the negatives myself. :D

Stats are never a problem for me when winging it. Players don't see those stats, so I can easily make them up on the spot. NAMES are the tough part. I keep sheets in my binder with dozens of names listed on them, one sheet for each linguistic group so that I can easily grab a name for any given...

Uh, I don't recall what I paid. But yeah, Criterion discs are usually around that. But I was referring to this disc, which I found on sale for $50. So if I were to buy it at that price, I would be paying ANOTHER $50 (on top of whatever I paid for the original disc) for a couple of documentaries...

Hey, I LOVE Famke. And I've been following her ever since Xenia Onatopp, best believe. But she does have a big square jaw, AND she's completely flat-chested, so I think yeah, she could play a fey scrawny pretty-boy manling. But YES, Tilda Swinton (Gabriel, also played the White Witch in Narnia)...
