    What's your favorite Mass Combat system?

    I'm probably going for a mixture of the two, actually; one of my characters has a pretty expansive back story about being a military commander (and has the skillset to prove it) so I want to give him the chance to push the little units around on the battle map :). From a personal taste...

    What's your favorite Mass Combat system?

    You just spoke to the CodeMonkey in me :). I will check this out! Anybody have any idea how close this is to the system in Black Company? I've already dismissed the system in BCCS as being pretty clunky, although I did like the idea, if not the implementation, of having multiple "scales" of...

    What's your favorite Mass Combat system?

    This weekend my group could potentially end up leading an army of undead against another army of undead (long story). It'll be one of the last sessions in this plot arch before we switch DMs, so I've been looking for a light-weight, easy to understand mass combat system. I do want *some* crunch...

    NC Game Day XI: September 23! (Player Registration Now Open)

    Wow, I'm truly flattered :). I think the only way that I could be more ribald in a game is if I were to play drunk. NCSUCodeMonkey (Who needs to read ENWorld more often.) (Stupid work.)

    Sweet (read expensive) Gaming Table

    I haven't been scanning the general forum in quite some time, so this is probably a dupe, but I figured I'd throw it out because I started drooling as soon as I saw this bad boy: http://www.research.philips.com/initiatives/entertaible/index.html 32 inch, table-top touch-screen LCD! And it's...

    NC Game Day XI: September 23! (Player Registration Now Open)

    Have fun gang! I won't be around this time, but I'm going to make a huge effort to make the April Gameday (with waaaaaay less props). In other news, I chatted with Piratecat at KahunaCon and he seemed interested in coming down for April; we should bug him about that when it gets closer to time...

    Plane Shifting to the Material

    Sorry, I didn't mean to give that impression. I'm not biased one way or the other. I happen to agree with you that it should be 5d100, I was trying to ask impartially on behalf of one of my players. Thanks!

    Plane Shifting to the Material

    If a caster is on a plane other than the material and attempts to plane shift back, can he do so with pin-point accuracy? Does he need to be familiar with the location that he's shifting to? I'm asking because the SRD text only indicates that there's a percent miss chance for shifting from the...

    KahunaCon '06 July 22nd and 23rd! slots still open! (greater Boston/Providence area)

    I plunked hazmat there so he'd be in a game. I'll ask him tomorrow if he'd rather be in the Neptune's adventure, which'd free up the slot for Dire Wolf. NCSUCodeMonkey

    KahunaCon '06 July 22nd and 23rd! slots still open! (greater Boston/Providence area)

    TheCaster, Hazmat and I will be coming in sometime between 8:30-9:00 depending on how our complicated travel plans pan out. Kahuna, Hazmat had pseudo-asked for a slot in the morning Shadowrun game, are there any openings there? The front page is unclear as to the number of seats and I don't...

    KahunaCon '06 July 22nd and 23rd! slots still open! (greater Boston/Providence area)

    Good News and Bad Well the bad news is that my props did not make it back in good condition from the NC Game Day. I opened the boxes yesterday and 3 out of my 8 major props survived the return trip via UPS. So, we'll be down a few props for the UA game. The good news is that's still more props...

    Help me make a small town with a bit of Planescape feel

    You've got some very cool ideas, as usual, I'll be stealing a few of those ideas for my next campaign :D. A few off the cuff ideas: One of my favorite archetypes from Planescape was the owner of the mysterious shop down on the corner that has all sorts of weird antiquities. Not really a magic...

    KahunaCon '06 July 22nd and 23rd! slots still open! (greater Boston/Providence area)

    Thanks Mavrick! There have indeed been some changes, especially in the super powers, but not really in the personalities. Also, due to popular request, Art may be de-anglicanized and become a hometown baseball player. Apparently not very many people are intimately familar with the rules of...

    Bash is an insanely simple system, no experience necessary since I can (and will) describe the entire system in about the first 15 minutes of the game. NCSUCodeMonkey

    Any advice on running a low-magic-item campaign?

    Also an excellent point that I completely forgot about. I give my players the option of rolling or taking the high average on HPs at every level. NCSUCodeMonkey

    Any advice on running a low-magic-item campaign?

    It can be done and it can be a lot of fun. My weekly campaign is based of the premise of putting the spotlight on the characters and what they can do, not on whatever magical nuclear weapon they happen to find in a dragon horde. It's a fun style of play, but it's not for everyone. In my game, I...

    KahunaCon '06 July 22nd and 23rd! slots still open! (greater Boston/Providence area)

    Geeze, it's hard to pick a game, they all look awesome. However, I can't pass up the chance to play Paranoia and loyalty officer sounds like a riot. Looks like there are still slots for that game, if there aren't I'll play shadowrun, which is yet another system that I've always wanted to try...
