    Greatest Act of Heroism?

    Bah! Most of your are cowards! It's easy to be "heroic" when you have massive spells, strength or rage to help! During a fight, we had a urchin cutpurse try to make off with the pouch that had the secret plans. We manage to catch up with the boy even though he has Exp. Retreat. At that moment...

    [OT] Bah Weep Granna Meep Ninni-bon!

    I call this my "Star Wars" languages. Most gamers seem to except it without too much disbelief. Malak'cul to ahck Ithillid "May you wake up with a Mind Flyer in your face." An old Lizardman curse in my game worlds. Funny enough, I think Paramount's linguist based the language off Arabic and...

    [OT] Now it's Deadlands for free!

    I am not any offical source of any sort, but the impression I got was that it had something to do with the new partnership of Pinnicle and Mystic Eye games. I know that ME will take on all new books, while PEG's website sellls all backstock. If they don't reprint the basic book, then there will...

    Does anybody not use dungeons?

    I haven't run a dungeon crawl in years. As far as any smart alec definition goes, a "dungeon" is where you sneak around a structure and take on a lot of combat. The size of the structure ensure the party will contine to do this activity for most of the session, if not more than one session...

    Stargate Campaign: Spycraft or D20 Modern?

    I am looking more at this as "How can Mkletch get his group to play AEG' s SG-1 book" in comparsion to selling him on how cool Spycraft is. (Which in my mind has done for modern gaming what DnD did for fantasy gaming, set up a default game format. I love those budget and Mastermind creation...

    Name My Child

    My own son is named Alexander Xavier, but he didn't start that way. Originaly I wanted to name him Xavier Alexander, but my ex-wife was sudden afraid that people would think we named him after Professor Xavier of the X-Men. :rolleyes: That being said, try Xavier Ryan. If he decides he wants a...

    Crossgen RPG

    Crossgen RPG cool! Fast Forward's past track record with the quality of their products makes me worry. As an aside, the Way of the Rat screenplay is done and being shopped around Hollywood (or perhaps they already have a studio, I didn't hear that part at Megacon)

    Taking away the shame...of Roleplaying!

    My gaming g/f claims that she started out with an all girl group, most of which didn't game before. In fact, she started the group so she could be a newbie GM with newbie players. About 5 years later, she still runs games, but she if very picky about what she plays and who she plays with. I am a...

    Taking away the shame...of Roleplaying!

    Well, it depends on where I am. I usually have a P.R. job so at work, I'm in a very conservative enviroment. If one's hobby is not golf, fishing, a major sports franchine or making more money, then you get on a slippery slope of being judged for what you do outside of work, not at work (when...

    Stargate Campaign: Spycraft or D20 Modern?

    Wow, sounds like your group is very ... structured since it has a "review" policy. With that sort of mind set in charge of your groups, you are not going to get much more than just standard DnD fare. You group might want to download the guidelines for playing RPGA type games, not that I am...

    I knew it would happen!! Warlord RPG

    I am going to look into HumAliens for my son (who will be 11 by the release date). I will see if that game is worth it. Initial D? We'll see. I do agree Warlord and SG-1 have a lot more staying potential. The question is which one will out do the other?

    [OT] Farscape's End...?

    The short story of it. Season 4 was finished and they thought they were going for Season 5 when SciFi gave them the surprise that there was no renewal. It is a little strange, I thought they would at least cut the episode short before delivering the cliffhanger for "Season 5."
