I'd honestly be a bit disappointed if the show went this direction. The Winchester boys should be pursued by the police, after all - they're stealing credit cards and killing people (or things that pose as people). It would be hard to suspend disbelief if the FBI and police never pursued them...

I generally go with a theme for summoning lists, if I'm bothering to do a custom one. I've played a dwarven cleric who summoned celestial dwarves with class levels, a necromancer who summoned undead, and an elementalist who summoned critters from the elemental planes of Earth and Fire. What kind...

You know, I bothered to take a picture of my group a while ago for this thread, and then didn't remember to actually post it. This is my Wednesday night group, currently playing an all-psionic githzerai rrakma. From left to right, we have... Me Melanie Brandy (looking excessively formal, for...

I've had a few PCs in my games with cohorts. Usually they either served as a bodyguard or a healer, and didn't cause much in the way of problems. Often, they were a source of great entertainment or plot hooks. As long as the group doesn't get too big, I think it's a great feat. A corollary...

Yeah, that's the way I'd do it. I'm actually using a very similar system for a game I'm running, so I've put a bit of thought into it. Spellcasters in that game are all different, though, so I haven't written up classes for all the different styles, which seems to be something you'd need to do...

I have had a couple of characters with maxed-out Kn (Local) checks, but that's because we use it as Streetwise, and therefore it's always good for criminal-type characters. Want to know what that graffiti REALLY means, or where to find a good fence in this neighborhood? Kn (Local) check. It's a...

What makes the power point system distinct and useful is the augmentation mechanic. That's where all the effort would be if you were to convert 3.5 magic to a power-point based system. Generally, you'd end up with fewer spells, with the ability to customize them based on how you spread the...

Usually I don't pay a bit of attention to it. When I was running a sea-based game, Bad Weather was one of the most common encounters on the table, so it came up a couple of times. Sometimes, I'll roll luck for the group at the beginning of the day, and use that to determine how nice it is. If...

Bam! Those are the dice I'm using right now - mostly blues, whites, and greys. I got 'em out of the bin at my FLGS, back when I worked there. The dice I had been using (reds and greens) mostly made their way back into the cheap dice bins at the store, as a recycling effort. I like to think that...

No, I think that would be pretty reasonable to use the psionic focus mechanic in place of Void Points. Pretty in touch with the flavor of Rokugan, as well, though when I ran it the psionics-users were the Kolat and the people of the Ivory Kingdoms. The only problem I can see is that they are...

I recently used some Thorns (from MM2, I believe) that I thought worked out pretty well. They all had different plant traits, and resembled a specific kind of plant - one of them was made of rose vines (Rosewhip), another was mostly poison ivy, and another was made of nettles. It worked well for...

I'd ask for a Metamagic Rod, something along the lines of Maximize, Empower, or Sculpt spell. Always handy for a main-line spellcaster to have, and it would help out his damage in comparison to the rest of the group.

Wait, what? A box knife and duct tape? How did that work?

No, wireless routers aren't set up to send any data through the wireless connections. They input wireless data through the antenna, and output it through their physical ports (usually to a modem).

I'd consider a cult of the hunt - a group of cultists of a "Nature, Red in Tooth and Claw" kind of god, who casually hunt humans and destroy anyone who trespasses in their forest. If you want to center a whole adventure around it, you can put a town under siege out there in the wilderness. You...

The last time I used a hydra, I described it as serpentine. That's my preference, generally, and I was playing up the 'snake-ness' of it - I believe I used the Poisonous Creature template from the Advanced Bestiary for those hydra.

Three! Three of your players! Ah ah ah!

We played, at one point, an Aztec game with d20 rules. It didn't work out too badly. We used, essentially, combat mechanics, with some extra bits for throwing and catching the ball. Most of it seems pretty similar to Klaus's suggestions, though what we played had a smaller goal (more like a...
