A huge number of Aboriginal tribes have legends that mention The Rainbow Serpent, and all (that I know of) relate to water in some way. Not really suprising given the whole Rainbow thing. In some its malicious, in others its benevolent. It really runs the gamut. And let me echo the...

Of course not. Its useless because it requires you to win by a considerable margin to get any real pushback, opens you up to swathes of attacks of opportunity, chews up numerous feat slots and is incredibly difficult to win against high level monsters owing to size, strenght and limb number...

Didn't care much for Star Munchkin, the laser thing was one of the biggest problems I found with it. Haven't played Munchkin Impossible or Super Munchkin. Original Munchkin is still the best, particularly when you throw in Unnatural Axe and The Need for Steed. Munchkin Fu is also quite good...

These terms are everyday parlance in World of Warcraft, although I'm pretty sure they predate that particular game. Nuker or DPS (damage per second) or other such terms refer to characters whose role consists of doing lots and lots of damage. Buffer is pretty self-explanatory, referring to...

That may be so, but does he have to play it up as much as he does on The Crusade? Trying to emulate a band as legendary and important as Metallica is only going to earn scorn amongst the public("riding on their coattails" etc), and the fact that the band in question has managed to do a...

If you're running anything Middle Eastern, then I highly reccomend tracking down Karl Sanders' "Saurian Meditation". Lots of Baglama-Saz, pipes and ambience, with some tracks on there that can be used for just about anything. The Elder God Shrine is just a kicking track that begs to be used...

Well, my hearing's returned after The Black Crusade. Awesome night, with plenty of drinks and damned fine metal. Arch Enemy are ultimately who I was there to see. Short set (only about 40 minutes), with only one song each from Wages of Sin and Rise of the Tyrant, but they made a hell of an...

This man hath again spoken wisdom. The object of any game is fun. When your fun starts impeding other's fun, then the game has been lost.

Am I the only one who finds this attitude sickening and insulting? You've got a group who enjoys the same style of play as you, good for you. Some people don't want that, and are content to smash down the door and kill things, that's their perogative. They sure as hell don't deserve this kind...

Cute, but hardly answers the fact that retcon is impossible when there is no con to begin with. That's the least of my concerns at that level, considering what the cleric and wizard are capable of doing about 5 levels earlier. And I fail to see anything horrible or wonky about the mechanics...

Spread the love! Taking the significant other with me Halloween night to see Trivium (shudder), Machine Head (woo) and Arch Enemy (BOOYA) at The Black Crusade. Should be good, other than Trivium.

Ah, worried about the WOTC gestapo bashing down your door if you don't use this one are we? Why's that? Seems to me that 'at will' is more in line with fantasy source material than the abomination of Vancian slots. If it resembles the swordsage disciplines like Shadow Hand and Desert Wind...

And a dead sexy cover it is too. Any idea who the artist is?

Frankly, if anything in Age of Worms needs a rewrite, its Three Faces of Evil. Encounter at Blackwall could do with some tweaking to not be so damned dull, and while Spire of Long Shadows is tough, its survivable if players remember that there's no time limit on it and they can safely retreat...

Kind of like the example shown in the "Scion: Hero" book?

THREADCROMANCY! I went shopping in the past few weeks. FINALLY got my posterior around to picking up some Burzum stuff. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss and Filosofem are both good (excluding a certain 20 min+ instrumental on Filosofem) but his last album, Hiljdskaf, is his peak. I never thought pure...

Battlefield 2 is made of awesome. Battlefield 2142 is pure garbage that was rushed out at least several months too early (why must I grind single player to get any of the fun gizmos? Why do the maps all stink? Why can't I have bots in Titan?). The Special Ops set offers some fantastic maps...

And yet you seem to be treating this as a priori bad. Just because something has persevered for 30 years does not make it automatically good. The success of such concepts as BO9S and the Warlock seems to indicate to me that players like the more dynamic options that make the 9-9:15...

The Age of Worms: Still running this epic saga. I'm loving it, the players are loving it, its just good, brutal, undead-smashing fun as the players race to prevent Armageddon. Long shall Hall of Harsh Reflections be remembered, my players still all quake when the rogue says "I'll make a...

The problem is that a rogue who's been keeping his Tumble maxed, has picked up a few synergies and has a decent Dex is autopassing those checks VERY early on.
