I think the comparison is more metaphorical than literal. Both carved new paths and set the pace of a genre but J.R.R.T. had an impact on writing that will likely never see a repeat. GRRM is, IMO, a superior writer but he also had half a century of genre development to work with (thanks to...

"X piece" (gold, silver) is a misnomer in my game. I give the break down of wealth, how the players wish to assign that is entirely within their domain. FREX: I say "the troll lair contains 5,000 gold worth of assorted items and coins." One player may chose to note a 1,000 gold value gem while...

I really like this option. I can see the players agonizing over the unappealing answers. My group would try to convert the evil priest (forcing them to discover his background and motivation -- maybe in the end they have to resurrect his wife or child. Or you could do a Star Wars and make one of...

Yeah, Hollowfaust was a very well done and unusual city. Strangely, for a city of necromancers it seemed like it would work. I never did Scared Lands but that is one supplement that peaked my curiosity.

Why do Hooters waitresses make oodles of money? Nary an "A" cup among them.

I bought and finished it yesterday. The introduction by Con Iggulden was great as was the ending (knowing it was coming from the "pen" of Stella). The book suffered for the lack of Gemmell but was readable and maintained what I think was his story.

I want to bronze that whole statement.

Man, middle age stinks. If it makes you feel any better I lost the feat "Slam Dunk" around 35 years old. I am trying to convince my biology that I should be able to retake the feat but it is requiring much more work at 40.... I think I'll have to spend two feat slots. If this was a game with...

I ran a game around Christmas about 10 years ago involving Santa. The players were evil and servants of some demonic like creature. Good was on the run and nearly beaten but as good always does - they rallied. The players investigated the source of the rally suspecting a new leader had rose to...

That looks like Crabclaw... If I remember. He did some of the work for Valoris. I bet Grodog would know how to get ahold of him. All names might be slightly off do to failing brain functions.

My log on has always worked fine but suddenly stopped about a week ago. :\ Not inspiring.

Very nice.

I got my 5 and 7 y/o boys hooked on the Justice League. They only watch when I am with them since there are rare PG-11 moments but by and large the shows work well for young school aged kids. My youngest cried when Solomon Grundy took the dirt nap. :heh: More normal shows - The little one...

My OD&D group had some odd characters and some odder intercharacter relationships. The campaign lasted several years before I got orders to ship out back to the USA. I was returning stateside after 5 years. Everyone knew that.... Character #1 is a powerful wizard (13th level) who is selfish and...

I nearly dropped over with belly cramps at the "roll for menstruating" comment. Hot damn. Girl gamers took a skewering on this one but in fairness the characters could have just as easily been gents (although, seduction never quite works as well when it is a transgender affair.)

Funny, I am doing some of the same stuff. I am considering the NSCA-CPT but don't know if the cert is worth the effort since it is a hobby for me.

I'd say the template for this type of setting would be post Roman exodus of Britain. Very small kingdoms, hundreds of petty kings seeking to assert their rights and to sway other "kings" to become their liegemen and lawlessness everywhere but the few centers of power. The old west works very...

Steve Jackson will be the Monte of 4E

I am..... A Lawful Good Human Monk (6th Level) Ability Scores: Strength- 18 Dexterity- 16 Constitution- 16 Intelligence- 16 Wisdom- 15 Charisma- 16 Paladin and Wizard were only a point behind monk. I think the Dex, Wis, and Cha are inflated. I am strong and healthy as a ox. My int? Well, I...

I figured Mon-el / Valor even though he isn't technically a Kryptionian. His initial run was as Clark's amnesia stricken "cousin" -- If memory serves.
