Well, it's good in theory, but if you've got a character in SWd6 that has a 10D blasters skill, and only needs to get a 15 or better on his dice to shoot someone, it can lead to some very over-the-top scenarios the likes of which you'd see in a B-movie action flick, as well as making some...

I am so glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read the comic, as it would have wound up all over my monitor and keyboard. The big cheesy grin was just too perfect :D Heck, I'd go so far as to say that image and "Lets stop the violence" is t-shirt worthy. Reminds me, need to hop onto their...

I'll take a crack at it, having played plenty of d6 back in the day and being an avid fan of Saga. Remathilis hit one of the major contrasts regarding the class system. In d6, since you can spend your experience any way that you want, it can lead to characters that are wildly awesome in a very...

One thought is to give the PCs a common "benefactor," in that this is someone who can provide a certain benefit that the individual PC wants, but only by doing things for this benefactor. A good example of this kind of set-up would be the current Thunderbolts line-up in the Marvel Universe as...

Can't speak to what's in Tome of Corruption, though I'm guessing probably not much on greenskins or dark elves going by comments on FFG and Strike-to-Stun's message boards. Regarding the Tzeentch's Curse rules, from what I've seen and read in the core book, anytime the dice you roll to cast a...

Sounds like your GM has the exact opposite like of my group's GM. Got together this past Saturday to kick-off a new campaign, with several of us picking up our old characters, who had parted ways after the old campaign wrapped up. Basic summary was that we met at an inn in a small town whilst...

Can't speak to the rules legality of this, but is a funny read :) But wouldn't the elves moving this fast announce their presence by way of a sonic boom, which occurs when jets break the sound barrier? Granted, they'd still get the surprise round (since they are moving faster than the speed of...

Quite probably the same sort of mindset that made people continuely participate in the edition wars during D&D 4e's release. As for running a WHFP game and not falling into the "stereotypes," a fair amount of that falls on the shoulders of the players as well as the GM. From the campaign I...

Hey, always happy to help a fellow gamer. Besides, just goes to show the level of commitment Black Industries had to their fanbase considering how much of that material was probably fan-created in the first place.

I wonder if Old Pete had a silver platter or two lying around. 'Cause that's the only thing missing from Belkar handing Crystal her behind :) As for the knife, maybe Belkar figures he's better off with his short swords (as the knife obviously did so little good for Crystal in that fight)...

I'm sure they will. But considering the sheer volume of stuff that Black Industries had on their site, it's gonna take a while for FFG to catch-up. By the way, a poster named Sythorn over on the FFG boards nice enough to compile all the BI stuff into a MediaFire download folder (if you don't...

It's a shame that the Black Industries webpage is no longer up, as they had a plethora of free fan-made adventures that you could download. I've never run the game, but glanced at a couple modules and they generally look to be well-written and fit with the overall mood of the setting. Maybe...

Somehow, I'm picturing the equivalent of a Mexican stand-off. Bozzok's goons have Celia, but let's not forget that Crystal was left going one-on-one with the Sexy Shoeless God of War, who has been riding the wave of one big Crowning Moment of Awesome (only thing missing is actual theme music in...

Slider Wade, Congratz on the gift. As a suggestion, if you have any, and I do mean any, questions regarding Saga Edition, go check out the d20 Radio forums and especially the Order 66 podcast. GM Chris and Dave cover a lot of subjects in the 40+ episodes of their podcast, ranging from...

Beginning to like this place less and less. I just has a long, thought-out post regarding Skill Focus (Use the Force), and this frelling place just devoured it, saying I wasn't logged in when the first thing I did before trying to add a post was log in. Not even the WotC boards were this bad...

I went with the archer option for my Elf Ranger in a bi-weekly game, primarily because of flavor and to angle for the Battlefield Archer paragon path (having the option to quarry multiple targets, especially for a high Wisdom build, is pretty appealing). In practice, I've found that at the...

Knock yourself out Arcy. Frankly, I don't care enough to bother trying to discuss this in a rationale manner with you, since rational is far from what you are going by the tone, and you're not worth the trouble.

Technically, anytime a GM makes a judgment call on how a rule should work, it's a house rule. As for no "official clarification," of late the only place Rodney really seems to hang out is the WotC forums, where the issue simply hasn't been brought up. ENWorld is a D&D & Pathfinder place...

Certainly an interesting read. As for Middle-Earth as a "viable setting for an RPG," I think that ultimately depends on when you set it. I remember seeing, quite a while back, a campaign series an online supplement for the Decipher version that took place towards Witch-King's campaign against...

Well, part of that is on the GM. While the WHFP setting may indeed be a crapsack world, it's up to the GM as to when the party catches a break and gets a bit of "downtime" in between their adventures. Same holds true in any game; if the GM is out to screw over the players, they're screwed...
