The classic example is, the players round a corner in the dungeon and see an unarmed orc, casually leaning against a wall ahead, picking his teeth. They approach cautiously, as the DM is a known Killer DM, but the orc is unarmed and lightly-clothed -- it really looks like he's got no weapons...

Oh, we're talking about the Princess Bride, huh? We'll, it's no Barbarian Queen, but it has its moments...

Feel free to comment on it, we don't mind that kind of thread necromancy, there.

Well, block out some time, then. Dude was prolific...

I didn't even know he was ousted when i bought the module -- most of my friends and I were playing Champions at the time, and nobody had a Dragon subscription. So you can imagine my shock and dismay.

I did a review of that one here when I was reading all of Scott Bennie's stuff after he passed away.

More than ten years ago, when Teavana was still around, they had a Zingiver Ginger Rooibos tea. That stuff is amazing, and I still have a quarter-container I'm saving because I don't know where (or if) I'll ever find more.

Cisco, so yes.

So, they started the patch yesterday at noon, because I'm not the only person at work who doesn't like working on my off days. Two hours were allocated for the installation. I left the call at 5PM. My services weren't at that time required, but the actual patch had only been started at 4PM...

They're deploying the patch starting at noon tomorrow. It should complete around 4:00 PM so that everyone has "plenty of time" to test before the end of the day. I really hope we don't need help from the vendor techs, it's all I'm saying.

I see you've not been informed of the Electron Conservation Movement! There are a finite number of electrons on Earth, and we're using them willy-nilly for displaying emails and advertisements and other ephemera that would be better printed on paper, an infinite resource! Conserve electrons so...

I've always said Hero is front-loaded -- you have to make a few decisions early on, but then spending your experience points in sessions is generally easy. D&D is back- loaded. Since every feat and class ability breaks some role, your character sheet is basically a list of exceptions that grows...

I've run rules-light (FATE, and before that, Fudge; actually an even better example might be the short campaign I ran in TWERPS, an RPG with one stat) and rules- heavy (while I regularly run Hero System, I don't consider that truly heavy; instead, I'm thinking of RoleMaster Standard System or...

My mother? Let me tell you about my mother.

I feel called out.

Look, everything that came after the Best Roleplaying Game is the World is superfluous! It's effort wasted, because the Best Game has already been made! If everybody would just work on stuff for that one, think how much stuff we would have for it! And that game is, of course, Hero System 6th...

Was I summoned? Sorry, I was being overbearing elsewhere!

In other unrelated news, my submission for $2 million worth of funding for my scientific experiment where I reduce 100 tons of surplus modern art into component particles in order to identify particles that correspond to "Beauty," has been rejected once again by the philistines of the board.

When I went to Edinburgh, the impression I came away with is that I would break my neck if I lived there. The sidewalks are slate, and it's constantly raining, and I'm not the most dexterous and graceful of men...
