    New Highlander (TV) Movie

    Wow, H4 has to be one spectacular crap-fest to make that abomination look good. Glad I missed it :)

    I am trying to figure out how they came up with the X-Wing pilot skill

    Tarek, Slight correction. A 1st level character doesn't have any kind of level bonus to their skill, since the level bonus is 1/2 character level, rounded down. So a 1st level character with Skill Training and no ability score modifier would only have a +5 bonus to their skill check.

    Turning the post-apoc in McWod up a notch...

    Or one thought regarding the US "jumping the gun" and firing off missles after the Conflagaration, is that the President in office is a bit off-kilter, or his/her immediate support staff are. They assume the Conflagaration is the work of some new Chinese W.M.D. that was developed during the...

    Rave about classics -- Predator

    I saw that as being more akin to a samurai committing seppuku, as well as ensuring the prey doesn't get their mitts on stuff that would spoil future hunts for others of his kind. After all, a suicide bomber wouldn't give their target much of a chance to flee, and Arnie certainly got plenty of...

    SAGA: Help me convert this character

    Question to the OP: Do you actually have a copy of the book? Majority of your questions are answered in the descriptions of the feats/powers/effects there-in.

    September - What are you Watching?

    A:tLA is the 21st, 8:30pm EST on Nick (I think YTV in Canada gets it at 5:30pm, at least according to an article on avatarspirit.net). Smallville is the week after on the 27th.

    Monte Cook's WoD--we'll be playing

    Played a one-shot with some friends this past Friday, and it was quite fun. Have to say that those were some of the most powerful "1st level" characters I've ever seen in action. The mage ended up being quite a headache for the player, especially when trying to put together spells on the fly...

    Monte Cook's WoD--we'll be playing

    This is probably one of the best approaches to spellslingers that I've every seen for a d20 game. Mages still have limited casting resources (# of components per day), but it's a lot more flexible since you can decide to either use a few big spells or lots of little spells during the course of...

    With Star Wars Saga Edition do I need other d20 SW books?

    Personal opinion? Crunch bits aside (most of which are largely obsolete under Saga Edition w/o some re-tooling), I've found DSSB to be one of the best books WotC has put out for the Star Wars lines. From advice on how to run dark side villains to full-fledged dark side campaigns to falling to...

    Albany Gameday VIII - Sept. 22

    Four's good for me, as it's largely what the adventure is set-up to handle, although I if need be I can squeeze in a two more.

    D20 Modern: Has Wizard stopped caring about it?

    One of the WotC guys working on 4e mentioned that they did intend to update the d20 Modern SRD at some point down the road, but not to expect it until after 2008, since for that year their big focus is going to be, naturally enough, 4e. I believe this was mentioned first in the Modern 4e thread...

    Star Wars blurb: Although you and your friends are stuck on mining colony away from all the action, the call to adventure is closer than you think. And the current threat lurking in the local mines might just be your ticket to the stars...

    Monte Cook's WoD--we'll be playing

    Don't discount the White Wolf hardcore fanboys that hate any and all things d20 just becuase. I ventured over to their forums briefly a few days ago, and the quantity of venom I saw towards d20 in general was quite significant, and little of it I would consider as being "well-informed." More...

    How long are your weekly rpg sessions?

    Actual play time averages 3 hours, as we tend to spend time socializing, not to mention food orders as soon as there's an available lull in the action as well as recuperation time when someone makes a particulary funny wisecrack/remark, either IC or OOC. And after having gone without a weekly...
