    Torphies

    Which basically means that you have heightened reading skills. The efficient way for brain to read is to note what letters are inside word, and which are on beginning and end. With some effort and practice, people can register whole sentences or even pages this way. There was a fun article in...

    Party Composition Concerns - Need GMing Advice

    While it's important not to make game unfun for the players... It seems that they are making you unhappy with their approach. DM is not a player, but the idea is that he get's his kicks from adventure development. By putting emphasis on memeME!! the players don't take into account the time you...

    "Smile, you're about to die."

    As foreshadowed here: Such atypical situations are very crucial, as sometimes CP has to deal with what they got. Infamous example of this is what happened near coast of Somalia before (in)famous action where snipers shot several pirates. Prior to that, the kidnapped captain actually managed to...

    "Smile, you're about to die."

    Actually, marines special response units (um, or rather teams, as it's USMC SRT) use ballistic shields. I have on good account that they're at least on stock of polish elite GROM, but as with many special forces - their equipment is highly customized and is mostly kept secret. Most info on their...

    "Smile, you're about to die."

    Wide selection of secular pilgrim badges (they originated as holy places "Been there, got the badge"). Obvious choices would be the wandering penis and vagina: Picasa Web Albums - ihti - badges (top left, copy of the one that's most famous, as it's been often used by Monty Python's) Naughty...

    D&D 5E (2014) Ultimate Magic Playtesting to Start Next Week

    Damn, now I'll have a lot of choices on how to build a witcher-ish character... Alchemist made me a happy puppy, Magus even more so. BTW - there's new House on 20th, UM playtest starts sometime after 20th, there's something Starcraft-related on 20th that I can't remember... I mean is 20th a...

    Torphies

    In Cold Blood Eh, I'd chip in, but I lost my rights to make fun of typo-s back when I suggested that basic knowledge of psychics explains nuisances of crossbow loading. Besides, the subject is fairly interesting. So back to the topic - Aren't heads kinda... bulky? It's 1/8 of body length, so...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder and Mass Combat

    That's probably more compact than what you aim for, but I figure I'll post it for others who might stumble upon this thread :) Mxyzplk in his story hour Reavers on the Seas of Fate in this postmentioned the system he's working on for quick and compact mass combat. You can also read a bit about...

    Pathfinder 1E Sell me on Pathfinder!

    For someone accustomed with 3rd and 3.5 editions, who has all the books - Pathfinder tweaks a lot, but some people find it not enough to justify transition. It boils down to having additional $ to be spared on gaming, as well as time if you want to incorporate 3.x materials you used. For...

    Dual Wield Hand Crossbows...

    Hehe, while with a lot of experience with crossbows I can hardly imagine anyone doing this, but the visual ticked me off xD And it is... um... doable*. [disclaimer: as with 90% of my posts regarding rules, it's concerned with believability and practical part of the problem, not rule-lawyering...

    Party member down!

    Being undead really sucks unless you could become Death Knight or something like that. One way would be to get him back after you res him as an NPC, but you want him to be playable. Well, other way would be to res him after you're at higher level, and have him around you, making sure to defend...

    Looking for Miniature Storage Advice

    If you have IKEA nearby, check out additional stuff for PAX series - namely drawers for jewellery. Lot's and lot's of space for minis, with everything you need to add it to your furniture (they're meant for PAX series, but it works with others). Measure inside of your cupboard before you go, so...

    Medieval Trivia Questions

    Hehe, thanks :D A type-o in the worst possible fragment B-) It happens a lot to me when I fill with english-ish words (ie recrutation instead of recruitment), but rarely with such funny effect :P Mended!

    Medieval Trivia Questions

    Answer from a person who spent quite a lot of time inside armours, reading about armours, and helping to excavate and document several, so I can tell you where are the holes in entire problem :): 1. Meh, it's easy. Pretty much the same you pee without the armour, when it's cold :) Most of the...

    Magic Item Wishlist: Yea or Nay?

    I'm not much into power play, and magic shops and wish lists are much unheard of in games I've been part of, on any side of the screen. With one player though, he invested so much time and thought into his character build, that I knew that providing him what he wanted would give him more...

    What to buy a 9 year old D&D playing son?

    Um from what I heard (note, I don't have one) Red Box would be largely redundant in this situation. It seems to be targeted at two groups of people: - those who never played RPG's of any kind - die hard fans wanting to have a peek at Essentials line It skims through the options, while it's no...

    Who is your favorite cover artist currently working?

    I was going to go with the annoying fella. But Dan Dos Santos art just blew my mind.

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    First campaign in my life, MERP. After a fairly good idea to search for hidden tunnel where a stream exited a cave, we got a lot of very bad rolls. In terms of rolemaster it means not only that we didn't find anything, but that we're sure there's nothing to be found. Instead of thinking a way to...
