Whither Vigilance? I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Vigilance yet. If you haven't seen the PDF, it allows players to build their characters with feats and skills as well as hordes of powers, power-based skills, and combat maneuvers to create a unique and powerful supers "feel" to the games...

I wouldn't mind adding a NPC for each of mine, but it will be the weekend before I could send along anything polished. Since I got my new job, I don't have nearly the kind of free time I used to. No more writing at work! :P -Reddist

While not exactly set in Feudal Japan, Eric Lustbader's Ninja books might give you a good thrill. Set in modern times, but they tie in a lot of mysticism and lore. Another good one, though again not precisely what you asked for, is Kij Johnson's Fox Woman. The sequel to this should be out...

here's a few I will definitely agree that the Amber books, by Roger Zelazny, should not be missed. Those were my first "adult" fiction books, and I never looked back. Still read the whole lot of them over again every couple of years. My Zelazny collection is nearly complete, and there isn't...

two things 1-- UPS has delivered my Path of the Sword book, and I get to read it tonight. Woo! I've seen it in the local shop, but refused to even look through it, knowing mine was coming. 2-- Khur, I'm back and ready to add or edit anything you need to either of my LgCs. Just let me know...

Just wait.

It depends on the sort of game I'm running. In one-offs or purchased modules, I'll give out XP as they earn it, with no adjustments. We ususally play these games with "one-off characters" when we know we're going to be missing more than 1/3 of our group. For my long-running campaigns though...

More spoilers, of course... Its been a while since I've seen it, but I _did_ see it 3x in the theater (no record, I'm sure). I'm pretty sure I remember the eyes NOT being feline. I looked for it. I think they deliberately left the identity of the animal underneath the armor ambiguous. An...

Interesting link, Uller. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. The movie would make a wonderful plot for a 5-6 session game. Monsters, raving barbarians, seductive spies, court intrigue, evil masterminds, subversive conspiracies. Good stuff. You'd have to do it fast though, before...

The Ulgurstasta showed up in a Dragon Mag not too long ago. The Spriggan was a silly one to leave out. I like spriggans. -Reddist

After I thought about it some more, I didn't mind it as much. As long as he is taking his spells, with carefully noted excpetions, from the ranger spell list, 2 more 4th level spells per day shouldn't make that much of a difference for a legendary character. It wass the thought of 8 more 1st...

I HAD a copy, but somebody snitched it from me at GenCon. Dirty bird... Bleah. Now I gotta wait til it shows up at my local store and buy it AGAIN. -Reddist

Khur- Didn't like Ladglasmar anymore? :) Think I'll name my Brawler character Bubba Clint.

I'm working on my two, though it may not be until this weekend before I have time to hammer out characters w/ decent backgrounds. I think you have my name:) -Reddist

The One renamed? I'm trying to brainstorm some ideas for renaming this LC...here's a few off my list... Planar Node Planar Facet Planar Union Juxtaposal Aspect Juxaspect There.... who likes renaming The One to Juxaspect? Anyone else have any ideas? I'm stuck. Too close to it, I guess...

I'm reading:) As far as editing vs sending back to the author goes... if there are a few simple things you can do to fix style or balance, just do it. In most cases, its far easier than contacting the author, telling him what you want fixed, then waiting for him to send you a new version...

Ah... I'll have to update my bookmarks. Thanks. Still... it is incorrect :) Heh, -Reddist

Re: More requests from Khur and... Minor nitpick.. there is no PHB... Its the PH, or Player's Handbook, or Core Rule Book I. PHB is a (very) common term, but it is technically incorrect. For something official, you should probably use an official term. 2cp:) -Reddist

Have you already mailed the winner's books out to them? I can just swing by and pick up mine next week :) Khur -- v2.0 on mine will come to you begining of next week. Thanks! -Reddist

The Gaunt's Ghosts books by Dan Abnet are nothing but armies shooting the crap out of each other. They are set in the WH 40K world, and there is oodles and oodles of things to kill or blow up. The Gaunt's Ghosts books I like far better than the Last Chancer's series. Kinda brainless, but full...
