    Star Wars Saga

    Adept Negotiotor and Master Negotiator are your friends for this sort of build, and several selections of Force Stun. A Force Thrust or two ain't bad for keep away, since it doesn't do damage and the target opposes your UtF check with a Strength check (advantage: Jedi). Just bear in mind the...

    Star Wars Saga

    I haven't used the Destiny bonuses per se as none of my PCs have fulfilled theirs yet, nor do I use the minor benefit/hindrances as they proved to be a bit too much hassle to keep track of at times. Have made full use of Destiny Points, and they certainly do encourage some high-end heroics...

    Star Wars Saga

    I remember reading a post by either Gary or Rodney that since your condition modifier affects your Defenses, and your damage threshold is based off Fort Def, then yes your condition mod affects your damage threshold. Sadly, this is oh so true. Even for the Force-users with Skill Focus (UtF)...

    Giant-Robot RPGs

    Speaking of Mekton Transformers, I remember seeing on the 'net years back a fan-made supplement for creating Transformers using the Mekton ruleset. http://www.meta-earth.com/tf/tf.html Never got a chance to try it, as none of the gamers in my area in the time gave a flying rat's backside about...

    Star Wars Saga

    From personal experience, most of the "tweaks" I've seen are based around individual styles of play. I've been running Saga Edition largely unchanged since it came out, and there really haven't any glaringly broken issues that cropped up in my games, including a handful of con games using the...

    Smallville-Season 7-Fierce. 10/2007

    Kinda wished I'd taped this one instead of having to sit through it. Then I could have fast-forwarded through a fair amount of it. Here's hoping this is the only low-water episode of the season...

    OotS 489 "Keepin' the Little Man Down"

    That's true. Other webcomics I follow, such as Lil 'Formers and Full Frontal Nerdity are once per week, while VGCats is pretty much whenever the guy feels like it, and AppleGeeks is twice per week (not counting AG Lite, which is M/W/F almost without fail). They can't all be PVP (updated every...

    OotS 489 "Keepin' the Little Man Down"

    I'm starting to wonder if all the rejoicing about OotS being back and running was premature...

    ROBOTECH RPG - its back, and its new

    As someone else said, hoo-ray for a Robotech RPG. Hopefully it will prove to be a good resource for fans of the various Robotech series. But I doubt I'll buy a single book given that it's a Palladium product and thus using the same rule set as the prior edition. Personal eccentricities aside...

    Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3 Starts Tonight!

    Got around to watching Friday's episode this morning (taped it Friday night). Seemed more of a builder episode, in that it showed what life was like in the Fire Nation, as well as getting everyone their S3 outfits. Nice touch to have Aang use the name of his old friend Kuzon as a cover.

    Smallville-Season 7-Bizzaro. 9/2007

    Pretty sure it's not. Probably just a random nutjob that lives out in the wilderness. Smallville seems to have just as many of them as Montana does.

    OotS 489 "Keepin' the Little Man Down"

    V was rated as a dessert vs. Roy being a well-balanced meal. V's got an 18 Intelligence by its own admittance (and probably an average Wisdom and subpar Charisma), where I see Roy as being have at least a 14 Int with above-average Wisdom and Charisma scores.

    OotS 489 "Keepin' the Little Man Down"

    I was wondering how Roy was going to get out of this. I wonder if the celestial handling his case was shocked that a fighter had a logical and well-thought out rebuttal to the charge, considering the typical "dumb fighter" stereotype. I'm trying to decide if the KiloNazis or Cruella/Sauron...

    Tell me about your Star Wars campaigns

    Although on a brief hiatus after completing one of the major story arcs, I am currently running a pre-Prequel campaign set 500 years or so before the events of Episode 1. Players are part of a Senate-appointed task force to clean up corruption in a Mid Rim sector, working closely with the...

    Smallville-Season 7-Bizzaro. 9/2007

    My thoughts, including spoilers ... (high light to read) (done) So, next week we learn about Supergirl. Still not sure how I feel about introducing her to the series. Seriously, Clark really does need to work on that whole flying thing. I know the producers said "no flights, no tights,"...

    Albany Gameday VIII - Sept. 22

    Yeah, it's me. And for the record, I hate the way I look on camera.

    Albany Gameday VIII - Sept. 22

    It was quite fun. So many wrong things were said during my Saga game. Going to have trouble remembering all the various one-liners. I sadly don't remember everyone by forum name, but it certainly was a fun group to run for. Even if it did have the worst Jedi ever :D

    Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 3 Starts Tonight!

    Watched/taped this last night, and rewatched it this morning. I like the juxtaposition of Aang and Zuko, with the later seemingly getting exactly what he wanted and the former being even more so on their own. I did like how Sokka summed up the changes from when Aang was unconscious. Looking...

    OOTS 487: Their Concierge Service is Heavenly

    I made the classic mistake of drinking something while getting to the end of an OotS panel. It is nice to see Rich back in the swing of things, and to see Roy getting some face time after being killed relatively early in the battle.

    [Trailer] Iron Man

    Based upon the trailer, and despite my better judgment... I'll end up seeing this in the theater. About all I'm hoping for is a good popcorn action flick. At least with Tony's womanizing past, having a love interest in the flick makes sense.
