I played a lot of BattleTech as an undergrad, about *cough* years ago, but we're relearning the rules for some casual play now. Charging seems to be absurdly powerful. Number of hexes moved times 1 point for every 10 tons of mech weight (to defender), just 1 point per 10 tons of weight (to...

I just plain miss the banner field the first time through.

I guess I need to look closer. Is there really a tentacle growing from her neck? How'd I miss that?

Shadar-Kai Witch is an excellent female monk.

The poster is making the (common) mistake of not using all of the dungeon tiles is the deck. I think this happens because the rules specify a number of tiles to pick to shuffle the target tile into, but never actually say, "The tile deck contains all the tiles. Drawing a tile from the bottom...

I'd like to suggest a motto step, possibly with translation options. (At the very least into Latin and Klingon, amirite?)

An Alliance/Browncoats game made the short-list for my upcoming campaign a while back, and I was going to use the d6 System. IMO, the feel and play of the system is ideal for the universe of Serenity. (D6 tends to work well when action and bravado is emphasized over meticulous planning and...

If you're like me, you know it can be difficult to find a stable group online. If you're an online GM, I can't promise you a stable group, but I can promise that I'm a dedicated player. If I agree to a day and time, I'll make 95 percent of sessions, barring only emergencies. I'll actually...

My copy went (BIN) for $70, almost instantly.

Black Adam is the biggie. (Remember, it's not just magical spells he's vulnerable to ... it's anything with a magical power source.) Most of the big magical bad-asses in the DCU are anti-heroes or otherwise ambiguous: Black Alice, Etrigan, Spectre, and so on.

The auction is HERE. Minis for sale are Chuul, Orc Druid, Orc Champion, Slayer of DOmiel, Cleric of Gruumsh, Archmage, and Artemis Entreri. Considering how quickly they sold, I guess I set the BIN on The Village of Hommlet ($40) and the Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting ($70) too low...

Please clarify. According to the film Stand By Me: Vern: Do you think Mighty Mouse could beat up Superman? Teddy: What are you, cracked? Vern: Why not? I saw the other day. He was carrying five elephants in one hand! Teddy: Boy, you don't know nothing! Mighty Mouse is a cartoon. Superman's a...

It's a general rule, listed in the Startup bullet-points.

He can't see through Chinese toothpaste.

The vast majority of people are min-min'ed. (I'm only kidding a little.) Most people actually do min-max themselves, concentrating on things that they do well and ignoring or actively avoiding things they do poorly. Me, I took calculus as a sophomore in high school, and I haven't had a single...

I'm never lucky and rarely play beyond mediocre. In any game (except poker). That is what we were missing. I clearly remember having multiple Skeletons, Blazing Skeletons, and Wraiths during our games. That change alone could easily have turned wins into losses ... or at least would certainly...

No, we definitely remember those. I think we may have forgotten to draw an encounter card when there's been no exploration, but if so, only once or twice. We're still very careful about following the sequence of play from the cards. That's workable, but so few treasure cards are items, it...

When: Every other Sunday, 2 PM to 7:30 PM. (The M&M and Pathfinder games alternate Sundays.) Where: At my home in Daly City, about five miles south of SF and just barely north of Pacifica. Who: Currently four players plus GM. We've got room for a fifth player in each game. The Pathfinder...

We've played this game three times now (five players twice, three players once) and definitely have questions that don't seem to have been answered in the Unofficial FAQ collected at boardgamegeeks.com. First, a very general question/observation: The game seems too easy. In three games...

I likewise have a mint copy I'll sell for $50 plus shipping from NorCal. (It's not that I don't like the book, for the record, it's that we're not currently playing Pathfinder, I'm not really a "collector," and so I'll be just find waiting for the updated setting book.)
