    Fill my bag of holding!

    Sand. Just sand. Enough to fill the bag. A collection of sheet music by a variety of performers for different instruments. Pornography. A butter churn, full of stuff. Four Green Towels. A set of slightly freaky looking puppets.

    Exalted vs D&D. The battlelines are drawn!

    I reckon I could rope a few of my group into it if they were offering up Scion books (ONE FREAKING SESSION and they're hooked!). I'd be on it a split second anyway, since I loved Exalted 1E's crazy-business over the top cosmic planet shatteringness, and 2E uses far neater rules that then got...

    Pirates of the Spanish Main Role Playing Game

    Its a dead simple system, and its basically Pirates of the Carribean. How can you go wrong?

    Metal School

    I'm curious, what did you think of Annihilation of the Wicked then, given that Dallas did most of the vox on it too. Personally that's my fave album of theirs, the sheer mind-blowing speed and ferocity of that album leaves me breathless. A close second is In Their Darkened Shrines (Unas...

    Metal School

    Unlike a lot of Nile fans, I'm of the opinion that Dallas taking over the vox from Karl was a huge plus for precisely this reason. Karl is a godlike guitarist and writer, but he sounds like a hippo drowning in its own blood. Dallas is brutal, but has clear diction and doesn't sacrifice a...

    Games you thought you'd like and hated and games you thought you'd hate and liked

    This is why Exalted 2E and its spiritual sister, Scion, rock. No more freaking dice pools or splitting of pools and all the associated idiocy.

    Games you thought you'd like and hated and games you thought you'd hate and liked

    Love the Cyberpunk genre. Love Gibson's writings. Hate just about every Cyberpunk rules set I have ever played (Reflexes 10, Empathy 10, enough said). And don't even get me started on the undying, searing, 10,000 suns-like hatred I bear for Shadowrun. Didn't think I'd like Mage. Reading the...

    World of Warcraft Collectible Minis Game announced

    I'm more interested in the fact that they mention an Onyxia. I wanna know just how freakin' big she's gonna be. She'll make a better Gargantuan or Colossal Dragon than the Bass Dragon and the Begging Red.

    Whiney players....

    To repeat what others have said, while he needs to learn to listen, this is the sort of thing that needs to be done sparingly, because this really does tread the line between DMPC and outright Deus Ex Machina, and both of those are Bad Things. Realistically, the PCs should be dead before the...

    Can't be Manowar. Nowhere near enough cheese or supressed homoeroticism in it. :p

    Actor Heath Ledger dead

    Some reports indicate that the sleeping pills in question are notorious for their side effects, and he was also apparently suffering from a bout of pneumonia. So respiratory failure is possible, since sleeping pills & respiratory problems do not mix.

    [Worlds and Monsters] My sense of wonder is back

    Oh, your grubbly razoodock does not know the nadsat? Come with me and my three droogs, and viddy a fine flickshow with us after moloko plus and a night of the ol' ultraviolence. Real horroshow. With apologies to Anthony Burgess.

    New Mindflayer Info

    I'll be interested to see what 4E daze does end up being. If its like the DDM one, then ok, comabt (dis)advantage looks like its going to be a REAL bad place to be. As for Suggestion, my personal fave, especially in a tough fight has always been "Maybe you should run and get some help".

    What is CoDZilla?

    The "Beast Mode" DZilla was created from the original form of Wild Shape, which is why I use it as my point of reference for this. I still stand by my theory that the real problem with it was Natural Spell and Animated Shields, not the ability itself. And when Dragons and just about any...

    [Age of Worms] Champion's Belt Thoughts

    Enjoy the cruise while it lasts. I mean it. From this point on AoW shifts into turbo gear and gets DEADLY. I've got a party of powergamers who shredded The Champion's Belt, but the next few parts have left them near begging for mercy. Spire of Long Shadows in particular is a hellish...

    What is CoDZilla?

    Sorry pal, but Magic Items are part of the RAW and are intrisic to characters, so they NEED to stay in. The game was designed around their existence, so any argument which ignores them is irrelevant. I will stick to the Three Core Books however. If we're gonna talk PrCs, I laugh at most of...

    Saddest Song Ever

    If we're going into rock and even metal territory, then I'll trump the lot (in my opinion) "The Coffin Ships" by Primordial Heck, anything off "A Journey's End" by them would probably qualify too.

    What is CoDZilla?

    Enervation and Disintegrate are awesome and all, but unless you're a Warmage, direct damage is kinda 'meh' at the top end. I'd rather someone drop a Wall of Thorns* than a 5th level nuke, any day of the week. And Firestorm is almost completely shapable, friendly fire is not much of an issue...

    What is CoDZilla?

    Druids get Firestorm, for when you absolutely, positively, have to nuke the absolute hell out of a large area. They also get more battlefield control spells than you can shake a stick at, and having easy on-demand access to elementals is always fun. Clerics get better than damage. They get...

    What is CoDZilla?

    Quicken Spell says otherwise. Divine Metamagic says otherwise times 2. Cheesesticks (AKA Metamagic Rods) also say otherwise by a huge margin. And two of those are core book items! Nightsticks just took the C part of CoDzilla into the stratosphere, the D didn't even notice. Druids laugh...
