There was an interesting point in one of the first edition Legend of the Five Rings books about why this ronin, who wrote the book, became a ronin. About one is never supposed to check their masters for Taint. And once it's not found, they're not supposed to check again. Remember, the world...

I personally don't see any problems with it, as long as it was clear the party could have done better on their own. First rule : never split the party. A 6 intelligence creature should know enough to use tactics, and to play to its strengths while limiting its disadvantages. Animals know...

I wondered about a MtG game too. I've looked at things online, but it doesn't really quite fit with how I see it. So, I bought one of those big ol' MtG encycolpedias, with all the card art, and flavor texts, the premises for each set, etc. And have kind of worked around it. Pretty much go...

Again on another rant, just trying to point out options... A race that's wholly evil? Doesn't sound like the FR drow at all - and let's not forget that the Realms' singularly most popular character is Drizzt. Who left the race on his own. Even the yuan-ti, for purely pragmatic reasons...

Here's the problem I see. Evil or not, the yuan-ti is definitely in a position of weakness. His defeat made sure that he'd be unable to head back to the stronghold to report. "Know your foes" -- that would definitely mean he knew that the yuan-ti would be killed when he returned. Do you...

Actually... Swingline had red staplers pre-Officespace. I still have one my mom had 15+ years ago. She was wondering why I really wanted to keep it. :) Maybe they stopped making them for awhile?

Leo's back doing Call for Help with some... Canadians, I assume But I've seen that commercial. Only on G4. At first, it's of such a low quality, I swore it was an Xplay skit, but... sadly, I think it's the real deal. I think if that commercials anyone's first contact with roleplaying games...

I never really minded Greyhawk. The nations seem internally consistent, flowing from one to another, etc. As far as the power groups -- been awhile since I've played -- but I've always been a big fan of the Scarlet Brotherhood. Monks, assassins, and (thieves, I think)? -- focused on their...

I don't think I saw them. We saw Ki-adi Mundi get killed during the charge. What's his name - the dude with the goggles - get his ship shot down. A chick jedi on a speeder bike, I think. Even the twilek chick everyone likes... we see her being shot at, with a mysterious leaf covering the...

Don't specialize. Always carry things like rope, lanterns, glowrods, and plenty of food - even if you know you have the magical means to not need those things. In my world, veterans tend to be those who stick to tried and true methods, especiially when it comes to survival; like Boy Scouts...

I'm open to just about anything for gaming -- d20, Legend of the Five Rings, Seventh Sea, Gurps, WoD... you name it. :)

If you go to Wizards' website, there's a listing, in the Games menu, for 'Hecatomb' - whatever that may be. You click on it, and all it is is a countdown until roughly GenCon.

Knoxville I'm down thereabouts... always looking for new gamers.

I've always assumed that the base NPC classes - Expert, Aristocrat, et al. - were the bulk of the populace. Not that every blacksmith was a warmain 2... etc.

Interesting set up. The first thing I thought of is the possibility the dreams and visions are not literal interpretations. Warring armies waging war around it could represent the forces acting to control it. The noblewoman could be anything - tho drow, it could represent a motherly...

I've been waiting for it too. I know the ccg never interested me, but the backstory about the world has been very intriguing to me. The way I hear it... John Zinser was running D&D. Everyone wanted to be Eeeevil, so... they started an evil game. Evil PCs eventually topped out... twentieth...

I don't mind my characters being evil in a game, or even a whole party of them. However, they need to accept the consequences of evil, not the least of which is... being 'good' has innate benefits; people want to help you, especially once word gets around. I do also draw a line between...

Ring of Sustenance.

I say Dee-20... but I also say 'roll a six-sided die"...

I think there are a couple of issues at work here: First, the artifact the players have invested so much time in getting. The way it was originally described, they sounded like they were after it just for the heck of it. At which point, it making a stop-off in gnomeland really doesn't matter...
