    Cthulhu vs. the Tarrasque

    Hmm, the CoC game is sufficiently different from DnD that it'd be hard to compare the writeups of the two systems. The Genre differences are huge. DnD is about heroes taking on impossible odds and kicking evil's tail. CoC is about ordinary people taking on impossible odds, failing miserably...

    Assault on Raven's Ruin IC

    "Moron's going to get himself killed and ruin my effort to draw them out now." Marika complains, spurring her horse after Polmor's.

    World at War OOC

    Sounds that way. Count me in for a slot J5, you ran a good game up until. . . well it died.

    Assault on Raven's Ruin - OOC

    Holy smokes that adventure is bad. That text looks like something out of oh, say, an 80s Nintendo game more than a real pnp RPG. Do you want to help the king y/n N Oh but you must! Do you want to help the king y/n

    Where have all the heroes gone?

    I had a PC who stole unconcious NPC's clothing and underwear to sell. It was meant mainly as a parody though, enemies would get conked on the head (The character was also a pacifist who used lethal force only as a last resort) and wake up later without a stitch on. It was a running gag that...

    Cthulhu vs. the Tarrasque

    Cthulhu as written by Lovecraft is a much frailer, weaker creature than what's been created as a result of the mythos that other writers made. Cthulhu was so badly damaged by a steamboat doing far less than top speed in CoC that he was forced to return to hibernation for Azathoth-knows how many...

    Assault on Raven's Ruin - OOC

    I wouldn't mind seeing it if it's not much trouble.

    Heh, sorry if I derailed your plot.

    Assault on Raven's Ruin IC

    "This looks like a good place for an ambush." Marika comments as the group closes in. "Let's see if we can smoke them out if there's anybody there." Marika takes a few steps ahead of the group and inhales deeply, expanding her chest in order to shout: Hey you! We see you in there! Come on...

    Kobold Small-unit tactics

    How much could one reasonably expect these traps to cost? I was under the impression DnD made traps ridiculously expensive for their effects. It'd be silly for this huddling shivering group of ten kobolds to have half a million GP worth of traps.

    Wizard vs. Fighter duels

    I've always been under the impression that DnD is rather rock/paper/scissory about the classes fighting, most of the fighter types lose to magical types, most of the magical types lose to rogue/skill types, and the skill types die vs. fighter types. It's not a perfect system by a long means...

    Assault on Raven's Ruin - OOC

    Shall I just roll a move silently and a spot check to see how the scouting progresses?

    Rapid-fire Crossbow from "Van Helsing" movie

    He commented in the movie it was gas powered, implying that it simply worked like a modified paintball gun, continuous stream of air blowing through the "barrel" and arrows constantly falling via gravity into that airstream to be propelled out at high speed. Under those conditions it would jam...

    Assault on Raven's Ruin IC

    "Danged if he didn't get the last word in again. . . and forgot that I'm supposed to be a hundred yards ahead of him too." Marika clumsily mounts up on her horse and guides it forward.

    With which race do you identify?

    Have to go with undead, likely zombies. As an insomniac there are long stretches of time where I'm only semi-conscious and just respond to what people say, lacking much in the way of initiative or forethought.

    Has Anyone Statted Out Santa?

    This giving of toys away year in and year out clearly points to a vow of poverty build. Obviously Santa's ruleslawyered his way around this by using leadership to get all sorts of non-vop cohorts and animal companions who technically own his north-pole hideout and sleigh and the bags of holding...

    Mount armor!

    Mithral includes masterwork built-in, and you don't multiply add-on costs by 4 anyway, just the base price. You're price is way too high.

    New OotS is up. (#383)

    I think the multiclassing is the make Nale Elan's opposite. fighter/rogue/sorceror is about as close to "Bard" as you can get without actually taking any bard levels.

    Assault on Raven's Ruin - OOC

    I think that'll work.
