Well, obviously, you need to clone yourself. ;) To clarify genres, I'm not entirely sure that Underoo Avengers will be Powerpuff-like (having never seen a full episode of the show). What I'll be trying to capture is the childhood make-believe where everyone pretends to be one of the X-Men, or...

Whoo-Hoo! Well, that'll teach me to go on vacation! Sneaky Rel going and starting the thread while I was out of the state ;). I could not resist the lure of Orcz, so I have already laid my electronic pen to the page on that one. Also, I will be DMing again. This should show up on the NC Game...

It's that time again! Quotable Quotes! From Henry's Arkham Squad game: "I ready to shoot the 8 year old boy in the foot if he attacks" --Corlon 30 seconds later "OK, I shoot him in the foot." --Corlon Corlon: "I drive by and toss a frag grenade out of the window." Henry: "Into the group of...

It's 4:40 and I'm heading out of my hometown. Should be at the dinner by 7, if traffic goes well. Otherwise, I shall arrive fashionably late with Henry :) Looking forward to it! NCSUCodeMonkey

Rel, I just wanted to let you know that I've got to take DMsGirl in for a checkup in our hometown on Friday (she managed to break her leg about 8 weeks ago whilst roller-skating). I shouldn't have any problem making the dinner, but I guess there's a slim chance that I could be late. Henry...

Count me in for dinner. NCSUCodeMonkey

I hadn't thought of doing it that way, since the rule-book is so "grid square" focused, but I can see how it might work. That sounds like the type of flexibility I'm looking for. I'll stop by my FLGS today and decide if I like what I see. Any other suggestions of systems that have been missed...

So I just finished reading the d20 Modern book, and I've yet to play a game, but the vehicle combat rules seem a bit...complex...for my group's tastes. So what I'm looking for either (1) proof that the Modern vehicle combat isn't as clunky as it looks or (2) suggestions of other rulesets that I...

I've actually used a riot in my campaign. Essentially the gates to a major city were closed during the night (a rare event for this particular city) in an attempt to stop an escaped fugitive from skipping town. In the wee hours of the morning, an outbreak of what appeared to be a plauge began...

Exalted. It goes to 11 ;)

I tend to like psionics because they are different. It gives me the chance to create mystical encounters and mysterious characters. In fact, my favorite character from 3.0 was a psychic warrior. I've pitted my party against psionic opponents and there is a psychic warrior in the party itself. I...

I'm betting that this has been covered before, and I'm hoping that someone with a good memory can give me a quick answer on this one: what is increased when you empower Evard's? Surely the roll for the number of tentacles is increased, but what about the grapple checks and their subsequent...

I love gimmicks :) I've become a big fan of Play-doh (thanks Rel!) to represent oozes, slimes, or other oddly shaped enemies. I think my crowning achievement was using K'Nex to make the party build a rube-goldberg machine to capture a fox. They built a cart that moved under its own power and...

Wow...your PCs remember what the NPCs sound like? Heh, mine can't seem to remember an NPC's name, let alone their voice. Maybe I should make them take notes...? NCSUCodeMonkey

So I looked around for a thread on this already, and I didn't see one, so here goes. For those of you who haven't seen The Gamers yet, you're about to have some catching up to do, because they're working on a sequel! The Gamers was an great low budget film poking fun at all of the little quirks...

Being right next door to the largest campus in the state has its advantages :) I can usually get a room with a whiteboard and/or a chalk board with conference tables, although lately I've been playing at my apartment because the bag 'o books just keeps getting heavier. It really depends on how...

Well it's good to see that the gang's all here :). Due to the timing of this game day, I'm not 100% sure that I will be able to run a game. That decision will depend on the difficulty of my final on May 10th. I think I'm going to sign up for two playing slots. I'll drop one of those in order...

I just ran him against a 3.0 party with a cleric, wizard, fighter, and archer with an average party level of 9. Had it not been for the roleplaying safeguards (they were able to talk themselves out of a fight), it would have been a total party kill. I partially blame the spell selection of the...

Thanks for the reply AR, that's not a bad interpretation at all, but it does make me question his CR. I'm still tempted to draw the ice runes from his spells per day, sort of like an imbue with spell abilityish effect. Does anyone else have any experience with this creature? Are they "close...
