Just my two cents again. I am glad that it seems, for the most part, the flames and fire are dying down. Doesn't make the sense of loss less, for some. Here's my thoughts, though. Let's hope, for better or worse, this will work, and that there will be print things again. It's highly...

My two cents Now, bear in mind, just some thoughts here: First, there was a post earlier likening control of the IP to one person controlling Linux or the Internet. And that the diversity brought to those things made them better and stronger. Well, I remember when the OGL started up. I...

I agree. I am a big fan of the Combat Healer in there; pretty easy PrC for a healer to get into, and it's only a 5 level class. And the rules for archers in formation causing an AoE attack instead of rolling to hit things.

If you're going Dex heavy, can't/shouldn't you pick up Weapon Finesse? It does say natural weapons are always considered Light in the PHB

My preference would be Black Company, if you have it. I've been on rants about it lately, so... :) At squad levels, each squad has, more or less, PC stats, etc. So the skirmishes play out like character on character combat. You can work in routing and fleeing, etc, experience levels of the...

I know a lot of people are very tired of the over-saturation of Wolverine, but I miss the old days of his bloodfeud with Sabertooth. Where every year, on the day Wolverine picked as his 'birthday', Sabretooth would just come out of the woodwork and raise serious havoc on Wolvie's life for no...

Tried to drop you a PM, Micar, but.. it was being uncooperative. I'm for sure looking for a game in the area; not sure on the actual numbers of others I may bring to the table, as it were. Me, and worst case scenario, one more. But odds are good now, just me.

For third-party, I love and recommend Black Company Campaign Setting. Yes, as a campaign book, it'll be quite a bit more, especially considering how much they fit in their -- the license was only good for one book. Things I enjoy: Mass combat -- on the company scale, where each squad is...

I'm torn between if I'd wana be Higgins or one of the doberman... :)

I'm going to go with Richard Cheese's 'Lounge Against the Machine' - however, it is all singles by other artists (I admit, I prefer his version of 'I'm Only Happy When it Rains' by Garbage to the original). However, every song is performed in a different style than his other lounge-versions on...

I didn't see any rules about NOT crafting the rest of the set once you have a piece; in fact, they talk about how to make the remaining pieces. I plan on making people either go after the other pieces if they want them, or else, the set benefits will be drastically lower; I mean, part of the...

Yes, Belt of One Mighty Blow is in the book (p74) Yes, the layout takes some getting used to for sure. And to whoever clarified my comment re: the number of items you start with. I knew doubling didn't sound right. :) Magic weapons are at level 6, magic armor is at level 4. Also, one...

Well, thought I'd chime in. There have been some doozies over the years -- one when my ranger went along with looting a dragon, his bloodbrother, a paladin of Sif, decided to come at him with a weapon to stop him; I chopped him down. DM was nice, let the paladin end up with one hp. He stands...

Thanks muchly. Makes a bit more sense now.

I enjoy it so far. It feels packed with info, obviously. First time I've seen the new magic item layouts - they feel like spell layouts to me all in all. Augment crystals are cool, as are the set items. I like the new way you use the charts for experienced characters; instead of X gp value...

Well, you have to understand in Knoxville there's this awesome store, McKays. McKay's is all used books, dvds, cds, movies, video games. It's the media equivalent of a place for poor college kids to go give blood for money; hell, I took a lot of gaming stuff I wasn't using over and got about...

Well, the big thing to look at are the modifiers for how you treat your soldiers. If someone with leadership, etc, goes out of his way to get his men healed, or Raised if needed, etc, they'll stay pretty loyal. And, I agree about 100 low level people not making a difference, but if that's your...

I plan on going to Atomic once it's back up. I'm self-teaching myself the system, and Armor specifically seems to be where my math is crudding out on me. Do you build it according to the Device formula in the device section? Or cobble it together under the Powers? If it helps, right now, I'm...

As it stands, there's been some disintergration in the gaming group I was in. As it stands, I have myself and probably three others, looking to game in/near Knoxville. However, the conundrum becomes.. we're looking for more gamers AND a convienent space - two are in Oak Ridge and myself and...

I just started getting into M&M -- seems an awesome, flexible system. Given that I'm most familiar with Marvel, I'm wondering how to build armored superheroes/villains. I've read the rules over and over, but my brain kind of boggles. It says basically you buy Armor, at 1 point/rank, since...
