    [OT] Ashes series

    Damn, Hayden's out for 197. :( I'm really sorry to the Brits for Simon Jones' injury, but it was not the Aussie's fault. I'm a fan of cricket - I had the TV on at home all day yesterday and will today too. But the games are more interesting when the teams seems to be comparable in quality. I...

    [Meta] Mr. Data, prepare to increase bandwidth!

    I've been unemployed for just over 12 months now, but I start my new job in a week. The pay is 25% less than I was getting (I was made redundant when the business I worked for was closed down), but it's pay - and I won't lose my house, which was going to happen in a few months if I didn't get...

    Player's Guide to Wizards, Bards, & Sorcerers?

    I also believe this book (and the others in the series) will be quite specific to Scarred Lands. Maybe we should ask PirateCat? :-) Duncan

    Character Generator Software Concept

    One thing that I wondered about with the delete feature - if I delete a spell, say, CLW, what about magic items that are created using that spell? Logically, they should all disappear too. So, Potions and Wands of CLW would have to be "removed" from the files too. Sounds - complex. Or what...

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    IMO the BRS has one big hole in the system - stats are not linked to skills in any way. I've played/read numerous Chaosium games, and this has always bugged me. Duncan

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    And nasty. Every post I've seen from him has been negative, attacking other people. At least that's what I recall. Because of this attitude I find that I seem to disagree with him before I even start reading his posts. Duncan

    What are Iuz's domains

    Hi, as per the topic, I'm trying to find out if there is any official publication on Iuz - his domains, follower's alignment, etc. Thanks Duncan

    [OT] I've got a great idea!

    I needed a good laugh... Design #777099540 It's like a normal handgun, but it works in the opposite way to that which you'd expect. Duncan

    So, any others who got to the second round but not the third want to put their hands in the air? Duncan

    I never rolled so many nat. 20s in my life!

    My players rolled up a set of new characters last week, using the 4D6 method. One player ended up with a 50 point character. Ouch. Duncan

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    I don't know about Orient Express, but I do remember the James Bond modules from the early 80s. They were great. They had handouts for the players that included "photos" of the bad guys, that sort of thing. I would love to see a module that came with 1" grids of locations, so I could just lay...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Good update, Sagiro. Are you running something seperately with Kay's player now that she's moved? 206 - 24 = 182 ;-) Duncan

    DMs opinion wanted

    well, I'm going to assume you want to continue with the campaign and characters from here. If you don't there are plenty of options (jail, execution, etc). How far is the nearest healer? Is it reasonable that s/he could get there in time to stabalize? What about other townsfolk - they can...

    Beefing up Freeport questions

    Hmmm, when I ran this game my players spent a lot of time in this scenario roleplaying - they talked to many people, went to different places, etc - it took 3 or four sessions to complete, so I didn't think it was short at all. As for the original question: Well, I think that Scarbelly is...

    [Rant] the RPGA

    I was once asked to DM a module at a convention. It was NOT an RPGA module. The adventure was called "Goblin Surprise", and the only surprise in the module was that each room had goblins in it, which the parties had to fight. I warned the players before we started that it was terrible. They...

    [OT, grammar and punctuation] Use of commas in US and British style?

    In Australia we pronounce the h in herb, so it's like herbie (the car). Duncan

    Book of Vile Pie Recipes

    Last year I was running the first Freeport module. My PCs were looking for the Orc Pirate, Captain Scarbelly, and were told that he was in a tavern nearby. They went to the tavern to talk to him, and he was eating Fishhead stew. He would spoon a fishhead into his mouth, suck all the...
