    Lost: 11/1/06

    1- you're missing Hurley in your list. 2-While I agree that incest is morally wrong, both Boone-Shannon could just as easily be victims of it as perpetrators. And if we go with moral wrong, Claire had a out-of-wedlock pregnancy. 3-Desmond was pretty much falsely imprisoned by Mr Dharma.

    Lost: 11/1/06

    While maybe to you he didn't have to kill the others on the beach, I'd say going on a 40 days self-imposed mute state while carving the stick as a direct rection to the killing shows regret.

    Lost: 11/1/06

    Paolo is brazilian (well, the actor who plays him is brazilian, anyway). Hurley is mexican. Walt and Michael aren't dead.. And I believe Walt is rumored to come back at some point. Rose is black, but arguably not a major character. Also Charley is a brit.. Isn't that a minority? :p Oh...

    Lost: 11/1/06

    1-Ben's best chance at survival is if Jack goes with Juliette's plan. Let's face it, everyone Jack has tried to save since coming to the Island died, so maybe if he tries to kill Ben, he'll save him! (yes, this is tongue-in-cheek. 2-Until we know Smokey's purpose, it's hard to say why he/it...

    Would like some advice.

    That's true of the last combat of the one-shot, very much untrue of the first combat of same.

    Would like some advice.

    Thanks for the advice so far! I had already planned on providing pre-gen characters, so that's all good. I will print some of those primers (thanks!) though. Note that some of my players do have the Iron Heroes book, and have been reading it, so some of them will be somewhat knowledgeable on...

    Iconic Monster Use - The Aboleth

    I really loathe anything having to do with underwater "action" (or ships, but that's irrelevant), since it's seems to me as if it's a zero-sum thing. The difference between it and "normal" combat are either completely removed (with water breathing and free movement), in which case, what's the...

    Would like some advice.

    Alright, so this coming week-end, I'm going to be running a Iron Heroes one-shot. I've never designed/ran a one-shot before, so any advice, both general or specific, would be awesome. Here's the specifics. -Iron Heroes -Will have 5-6 players. -Best would be 4-6 hours long. -None of the...

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    I think Shaman wants to see if you'll agree with my suggestion so he can spring a whole nest of vipers on you for the few minutes I leave you by your lonesome!

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    As usual, I'll be walking the trick-or-treatin' route with my lil one (dressed as an egyptian princess of some sort, almost relevant to the game!) while my wife sits on the porch and hands out candy. How do wives trick husbands like that? Oh well, I get an excuse to wear my afro wig + pimp...

    Magical Tattoos?

    And if the PC starts bragging about his unremovable "item", remind him that someone with a knife can remove it.

    Magical Tattoos?

    That's what I mean by appropriate modifiers. If you decide they are unslotted magic items, there's a modifier for that. If you decide they -are- slotted, then there's that. As for the unstolable/sunderable.. Yeah, I'd say that's offseted by the unsalable nature of the thing, unless that's...

    Magical Tattoos?

    Technically, I don't see why it couldn't fall under the Craft Wondrous Item feat, with the appropriate modifiers to cost/exp, and the requirement of a MW tattoo.

    What do we actually know about WotC's market research?

    I'm part of a few on-line survey groups (non-D&D-related at all) that sends e-mails to do surveys. They are commonly about food products, or other household items. Each survey always include questions regarding age/gender/race/etc, so that the company that runs the survey can classify...

    How can we possibly get out of this one? (Updated with recent events)

    I don't know if you/the GM is familiar with Montreal/live there, or just using it as a semi-real background, but note that IRL, the mafia isn't really that big in Montreal, it's all about biker gangs, which are unaffiliated/at odds with the actual mafia. So that contact wouldn't help that much...

    Dungeon 140, 141 and 142 have no FR or Eberron content

    There's precedent for Dragonlance adventures. #80-something I dunno. Why do Eberron adventures have to come from Dungeon?

    Dungeon 140, 141 and 142 have no FR or Eberron content

    They also generally only print core adventures (or so I hear..), and yet some people ask for other things, why can't I? No no. They need to come from Dungeon! As long as we're telling them what to put in the magazine, and how to run the magazine, we should tell them what game system to...

    Dungeon 140, 141 and 142 have no FR or Eberron content

    I'm just waiting for a Dragonlance adventure. Or maybe one set in the world of WFRP, or maybe WH40K. :(

    OotS #364 Is Up

    They'll probably end up figuring it out because Nale will be too useful.
