Sure? There was a star wars collection of short stories that had the background of the patrons of the cantinia in the first movie. My memory isn't so hot on this, but I thought Greedo came to Tattooine as a youth? OK ... just checked starwars.com Well, one thing is clear at least. I have...

If it makes you feel better my gas-powered snowblower won't start as well. I'm gonna take it in to be serviced. And my back aches as well.

My standard screw-with-the PC's heads encounter: The party meets a messenger on the road. Messenger begs for help, he is being persued by bad guys. Bad guys show up. They demand messenger hands over message. Messenger says he works for the Queen. PCs have to make a decision. What's going...

Heh. He had me when the half-elf was drawn with only one pointy ear.

To answer your question: it depends. Out of my gaming group, I'd say we have at least two or three out of the six who would prefer a Tolkien-esque setting simply because it's easiest for them to understand. If I asked them to play in a mesoamerican setting (very cool, by the way) they'd feel...

Oh yeah. Ooops. :heh: Welverin, thanks for the insight on the revolving-door-o-sith. OK, so now I'm Pro Death to Maul. But I still woulda preferred the asian martial arts style to continue into the other movies. Dangit!

I got the DvD as a birthday gift. I have to say I have fewer questions about George Lucas' decision making for this movie after seeing the documentary and cut scenes. Casting Jake Whats-his-name as Ani was still a bad choice, but after looking at the last three kids up for the part, I have to...

Awesome! That's a pretty good turnout too! I'm a little nervous about the Blue Demons game. Vengance would be sweet though.

So if you've been following my posts with religous zeal, you know that I had to drive from Houston, Texas to DC in a moving van along with another gamer. We ended up playing the first Age of Worms module with the Iron Heroes rules. All rules pertaining to position and mapping were cheerfully...

This justifies the internet.

Rewrite the Summon Monster spells to be Summon Undead. Make sure the CR of the summoned critter is the same and you should be OK. That's about the simplest one-step solution I can think of. You can acomplish a lot in general by tailoring the Summon Monster list to meet your specialist's need...

Quick question: do you mean "Valley of the Earth Mother" in Dragon #102? Or maybe they just used the same folklore.

I haven't done it before, but I can tell you now that buying action points is problematic. What are action points used for? To save your charcter's butt. So if you put your players in tricky situations they may actually come to feel like you're charging them exp to fight dragons. Here's...

I'd nominate "Mad God's Key" There's a lot of cool encounters in there. Great for running straight up or plundering for your next game.

Hmmmm. Interesting. I may use that to revaluate my next character.

This may not be terribly useful, but if you go through the Monster Manual, you'll see that most of the aquatic critters are around CR 7. So you may want to set things up for an aquatic adventure as a change of pace and to use the beasties you normally don't get to use. Maybe some flooded...

WotC is pretty good about making each of their books compatible with the core rules. The books are not always compatible with each other, but they work with the core rules. That being said, I think they go a little nuts on prestige classes.

The one I generally recomend for new-ish DMs is The Hamlet of Thumble by Ed Cha. But really you'll be OK. The hardest thing a 1e DM has to work around with 3e is attacks of opportunity. You can fudge around AoOs pretty easily ("Did this guy do something in melee range that wasn't fighting?")...

I'm sorry to hear this. I hope they are doing as well as they possibly can given the terrible circumstances.
