    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    "Hey, who's report do I sign. I'm not writing anything if I don't have to." The truth of th matter is that Larry's writing skills were close to non-existent, due to his time spent in Chicago's juvenile detention centers.

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    "Well it's more a suspicion than anything else, but it ties with what you've told me so far. I've always been lucky, and most people seem to like me. Always thought it was my good looks, but maybe there is more to it." "Good enough. And Doc... Thanx"

    amazon: Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress: A Hip Girl's Guide to the D&D Game

    Well, I have met more than a couple of Latin American women (see my location) and I can tell you that the perception of sexism in language is so far down the ladder of relevant debate topics that until I came to ENworld I never knew this was something worth discussing. And before you ask, I'm...

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    Larry's concern seems to grow. But suddenly his face hardens with the memory of a burn across his chest. No point on going back now. If you're going to be fighting the alien threat, maybe an extra edge will help you come back alive. "Well Doc, I think you've got yourself a guinea pig. I'd...

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    During the ride, the usually locuacious Larry is very quiet, not really rising to respond to Cade's quips and jokes. He does bring one thing up though. "Remeber that first sandman. He said something about expecting the builders. Maybe they knew the freemasons were coming?" After the ride back...

    Iron Heroes vs Conan

    About the combat complexity of IH: it really isn't that complex, but it will depend on your players. I can only speak for IH, but if you have players who like tactical combat (you know, the guys who always seem to have their miniature in the best possible position to maximize flanking, gain...

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    We're not in Kansas anymore. Larry's concerns keep him unusually subdued when the Director shows up, and he doesn't participate in Cade's quips. That phrase makes Larry tense up slightly, and he seems to go into deeper thought than before.

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    Once the action part of the adventure was over, Larry leaves the evidence handling and collecting to the brains of the group. His natural laziness combines with his splitting headache for the young con artist to go back to the car and sit down near the radios. He waves off any medical attention...

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    "Booya!! Nice shot Cade!!" The adrenalin of the fight plus a blinding headache he was suddenly suffering had dulled the sharp burning sensation across his chest, but as Nick called out his lame joke, the pain of his wound came crashing down on Larry. "I'm not feeling too good here Doc. And I...

    Iron Heroes vs Conan

    I haven't seen the book. I had the impression that a larger part was fluff. I reckon then that last argument of mine was weaker (1/5 isn't really that much). I love Iron Heroes. It's about over the top action (although the arrow ladder is one of those things I don't like as much). But it also...

    Iron Heroes vs Conan

    Unless you enjoy statting NPC spellcasters, nothing beats using the Dreades Sorceror from Mastering Iron Heroes. Just choose an appropriate CR and in 3 minutes you ahve your villain. If you want easy PC magic, just use this warlock conversion . It's easy to add in a corruption rule, like this...

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    What the hell, I wan't to go home Cade! On Cade' signal, Larry come out of cover and drops to his knees, trying to use the doorframe as cover as well. His gun sounds extremely loud, amplified by his position. His mind running on overdrive, Larry seems more aware of everything in his surroundings...

    Which system for a Star Wars game?

    Failry decent. I barbecued a rack of lamb which was delicious, so that was a plus too. Hey, as a citizen of the 3rd World I have too...well actually I have to agree. :D In any case, that's a good compromise, either the outer rim or a semi-advanced world with a tradition of independence.

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    A series of pithy remarks crossed Larry's mind as he heard the man speak, but the crystal arm/gun thing had unerved the con artist somewhat. But years of conning men came to the for, and Larry did what he always did best, lie. "You don't think you're going to make it out of here, do you play doh...

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    God damn it Franks. I ain't no hero. Larry also takes off toward the door, unwilling to let the Freemason out of his sight. Since when did you start running toward gunfire Larry? Before he enters the motel he shouts back, "Somebody get on the radio and tell the boss we're knee deep in it now!!"

    Which system for a Star Wars game?

    Diggus, I think you're bringing a bit too much from the prequels and the EU into the picture. at least more than Sunglar was bargaining for ;) I'm not the greatest scholar of things SW, but from reading things from the EU and wookiepedia, I can't help but notice how inconsistent the protrayal...

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    The Doc had just landed a great shot, one that deserved praise. "Nice shot, Doc. Let's put this bastard down." Larry pops off another shot. His knowledge of first aid care was slim to non-existant, so he's focus on his next shot. Concentrating all in this one shot, Larry tried to will his...

    Dark*Matter: Discovery, The First Mission

    I was starting to like Duffman Moving quickly, Larry draws his gun as he takes cover behind the van. He then takes aim at the man in the doorway and let's loose with his Desert Eagle. He wasn't used to the bigger gun yet, but he had the feeling that the additional firepower would be necessary.

    So how do you play cohorts, familiars and animal companions?

    Something I wanted to try but never got around to was in aparty with 2 PCs that took Leadership. I thought it would have been fun to have them handle each others cohort. That way you can get some fun interaction between the leader and follower without having to watch a one man show :D . Sadly...
