Hey, I'd like to join if possible. I played with Queenie a long time ago in one of the Story Hours on CM. My basic concept is a Monster Hunter, so probably Ranger with some Sorcerer levels coming in later - unless I can use one of the weird third-party gunslinger classes; I do love the idea of...

I loved the 1st edition of M&M for two main reasons: (1) that it was not a super-chunky giant rulebook like Champions had become and (2) the incredible design sense it had. I loved the design for Protonik and the others, and looked forward to more but then I vaguely remember there was some kind...

Swordcrossed by Freya Marske No magic, low tech (Musketeers-like tech, with no guns in evidence) fantasy - Matti Jay (left in that book cover) has a problem. He's the de facto head of his wool-trading House and they are broke, broke, broke. So far it is a secret but that's not going to last...

5/10 - It was okay, but I felt it should have concentrated more on the over-all conflict than with her story. The animation was sloppy and rushed because of WB's need to get this out of the door before the end of the year, and honestly I was not expecting or wanting an anime style for this ( I...

I've been on a horror kick lately Jonathan Maberry's first novel, the first in the Pine Deep trilogy. Pine Deep is his Derry or Castle Rock - lots of weird stuff happens there and most residents simply choose to live with it. In Pine Deep, they lean into it hard, to the point that the...

I like it a lot. Very, very reminiscent of Tartakovsky's Primal. Perhaps too much, in some cases.

TIL that this is a series with three books. I read the first (the one with the white-washed cover) back in '83, thought it was cool, and never thought to look further.

The Book That Wouldn't Burn - Mark Lawrence. I really liked this one; certainly enough to go on to the rest of the trilogy. Not a standalone book by any means. Livira was named after a tenacious weed, and it fits her. Born out in The Dust, the endless hardpan wasteland/desert that surrounds...

I briefly played with a group that read the 3.0 rule below and thought it meant having a high strength made you worse at shooting a bow. It took 15 minutes of carefully de-constructing the second sentence to make them understand that was not the case. Strength Bonus: When you hit with a melee...

It's going to take WOTC years to live down what they tried to do to the OGL and other things they've done just in the last couple of years, if they ever can - which I sincerely doubt. They are very close to that swaggering snarky attitude TSR had back in the day, supposedly safe and secure in...

Rising Tides (Capes, book 1) by Marion G. Harmon I really, really enjoyed this. This is the start of a new series in the Wearing the Cape superhero universe. I loved the first few books in the other series, and then kinda fell out of it. This got my interest back in spades. It's amazing. You...
