Jester, you're back! Recovered so soon?

I just listened to the podcast. It was very informative to hear where Mike was coming from. If this had been available three months ago there would have been a lot less angst in the gamer world, I think. HalWhitewyrm is right on the money with his assessment. I would have dearly appreciated...

What do people think of the latest Warhammer games? I saw Dawn of War in the store (the one with the Maidens of Battle cover?) and am wondering how it plays. I noticed that it is RTS which I find a little annoying. I really wanted to like Warcraft III, but I found that keeping tract of all of...

The Force Unleashed is supposed to have top-notch swordplay moves on it. Ninja Reflex has some interesting hand-eye coordination games, but nothing particularly stressing. I feel pretty exercised after the basic tennis game on Wii Sports. Fire Emblem is a total couch potato game, but a lot of...

I usually disregard audio files, podcasts, &c. out of hand for reasons Mouseferatu mentions above. But given what Dan said, I think I'll check this one out.

Is there anyplace in the magazine or on the site that says "permission granted to make personal copies", or anything like that? I would like to take the finished adventure path articles to Kinko's and print them out on their equipment, but I need something that says I'm not violating copyright.

Vaarsuvius is going to become a lich.

Cool idea. It makes me wish I still had a deck of Torg cards. Also reminds me of Barsoomcore's cards.

An apocalyptic setting gives you the opportunity to build a bright future from whole cloth that honors the past. The setting lets your accomplishments shine that much brighter that they would otherwise. If the setting, ruleset or referee specifically hinders you or prevents any accomplishment...

Excellent. I use them in my non-Eberron campaign and this will make it easier for me to import. One man's garbage, another man's gold...

I never cared for half-elves in particular and half-races in general. So, as I advance the timeline in my homebrew, I was thinking of making a sub-race of humans. These folks spend their lives trying to reclaim tainted land near the border where the aberrations devoured an empire back in the...

My wish is that the alchemy rules, in concept, introduce the Compleat Alchemist to 4e. I realize that isn't going to happen, and I'll probably have to wait for the Artificer to be released to get what I hope for.

I've kind of painted myself into a corner. My group is going to investigate, clear out and otherwise terminate with extreme and fiery predudice a citadel of rat-men who have acquired the back half of a torn and mysterious tome. Except I don't have a citadel of rat-men who have acquired the...

Wow, I was just at the Denver Ren Fair. Damn.

I'm looking to expand my metal horizons as well as find some new music for work. Let me explain a bit... I work in a pharmacy. This is a high-energy environment. While the demand for medications and information may wax and wane, it is always "busy". Having some energetic music in the background...

Alas, no. Again. Ah, well. One day everything will fit into place and I can leave my family behind for a week of frolic. My son can't go, too young. My wife won't go, can't handle high heat. Now that I'm meeting people locally who not only know what BM is but have actually gone to it, my...

I enjoyed our LARP conversations, and the invitation stands. Goodbye.

The copyright date has long since expired on any of Lovecraft's work, I should think. You can make any kind of game about it if anyone can print a collection of his stories. And, if you want to throw down, all you have to do is take Chaosium up on any legal challenge they make. I would be...

I am disappointed too. While I and my group are still playing 3.x, we are looking forward to 4e. I don't have the free time anymore that I used to and I rely heavily on modifying published adventures. Given that a couple of my players are rather young or squeamish I'm hesitant to use some of the...

One of the things I found interesting is "gensai from Returned Aebil..." There was some speculation that Aebil would be explained in the supplement, I guess it is. I do like that the gensai are elemental rather than tied to a single element. That could be an interesting twist. Chilling blow...
