SOLD! EDIT: Which books are essential for playing Blue Planet (or which has the best source material)? I'm tempted to buy them all because they are so cheap, but I don't want to go overboard, especially since it might be a hard sell for my gaming group.

Right now the answer is yes, as we have 3 different D&D campaigns going on. This has not always been so, however, and I seriously doubt it will be true in the future. Someone will bring back Deadlands or Call of Cthulhu or Star Wars or something. I threaten to run a Mage game all the time (the...

grrr- tried to post this earlier but had a connection foul up. Forgive me if this shows up twice. I think (as some other do) that some of the people on the island are psychics or have special powers. I think one of the reasons the others wanted Walt is because he can bilocate, which is the...

What are the Savage Worlds rules like? I love Deadlands but I didn't hear good things about the d20 version, so....

The short answer is "yes." Yes, I do. The long answer is that although I have cut back a little on buying books, I still enjoy them a lot and I do get something out of every book I buy. However, PDFs do not count if you don't print them. :p

Well, my (D&D) campaign world is Earth, specifically Earth circa 1888, history and all. Let me tell you, it is a great shortcut and makes for a great game: research is a snap for both me and the players and I often play upon their knowledge of real world history, languages and culture. I...

Master Lykor has given Dante instructions for the group to meet with him after the lecture. He has also warned him not to tell anyone outside of his little group and to instruct them to keep quiet as well. The rest of the class goes too slowly for these students, who are impatient to pack and...

Well, I just finished The Prestige and I'm torn between two different books. The first is The Martian Tales Trilogy (A Princess of Mars, The Gods of Mars and The Warlord of Mars in one volume), the second The Great Book of Amber (the complete Amber Chronicles in one volume). Which should I read...

Wow. That is actually some fantastic casting. Sandor is dead on.

Hellhound, I do have to ask, though (and I apologize if I missed this) - does it only come up in out-of-character conversations or does it tend to leak into the game itself (such as the player's character spouting his beliefs "in character."). Does he always want to bring up political stuff...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082432/ Mel Gibson is even in it. :D

I liked +12 once per day. That would make it an extra-special ability that the character would save for an extra-special situation, which would make it more exciting (for me at least).

I think all of the TV people are mad...Veronica Mars Season 2 doesn't come out until August I think. I mean, you'd think they'd want people who missed these seasons to get caught up so that they could watch Season 3 in the fall. I guess not. :( For some reason I saw that as Girls Gene Wilder...

Nicely done! And for what it's worth, I really like the scout class. I'm playing one now in a "barbarian" campaign and it's a fun class. :)

Hey now - he's still on vacation. Give the man a break here. ;)

You know, I was just thinking - what if was written by one of the lostaways under a pseudonym?

OCTOBER! What's the point of that?!? That's a bad move on their part.

I'm about a third of the way through The Prestige by Christopher Priest - it's very very good.

He did a nice job on the audio books, I must admit. It would be nice to see him doing something (anything). (tangent: I had no idea that he's in his mid-forties. He looks ten years younger!)

I agree 100%. I like the humor and the small scale cases best; to me, it works better when the stories/setting is a little more "ordinary," if you can call it that. These are really fun reads and have some very cool little tidbits that would be great to use in a game, things like how Harry makes...
