That's a very interesting observation. I'll have to think about that.

I really had to laugh at Roy's moment of realization: "Aww, c***. it's me, isn't it?" :D

Artillery can be used for defense by being used to bombard anyone who tries to attack the defenders. This is essentially what you see in the old WWI films of people trying to cross no-mans-land with artillery shells bursting everywhere. Artillery can also be used for area denial. In other...

After the guy was carried off, Conan said "That never happened to me in high school" with that sad "I'm not fooling anyone with that lie" look and tone of voice he does. Just about every time he does a D&D joke he does something like that to imply he was a nerdy D&D player in high school. This...

I'm sure that's what the next few seasons will be about. Caesar's assassination pretty much kicked that off and I'm sure we'll jump right into his rise next season (along with Pullo and Vorenus' personal drama). I'm predicting next season will cover the immediate aftermath of the assassination...

About what Jack and Sayid were doing: I think they're doing just what I would be doing. They're trying to figure out what is going on with the bunker, including what happens if you don't press the button every 108 minutes.

When Charlie made that crack again last night, I was thinking that I really hope we get to see them get back to civilization just to see the look on Charlie's face when he finds out Hurley really is a multimillionaire.

I think they ought to do the last module of the slavelords series. IIRC, that's the one where everyone starts out captured and without equipment and has to escape. It's a simple plot even people who aren't familiar with the various D&D tropes can instantly understand and relate to. It can be...

There was. Titus Pullo and Lucius Vorenus were the only two soldiers in his army ever mentioned by name. They took liberties with them (Pullo was a Centurion in real life) but they are inspired by real people.

Survivor: Marianas Trench. The Survivor people are dropped into the deepest ocean trench in the world to survive for weeks with just the clothes on their backs. Survivor: Arctic. The Survivor people are dropped into the arctic to survive for weeks with just the clothes on their backs...

I have a vivid memory of them using one when I got immunized as a small child in the early 70s. It looked more like a phaser from Star Treak (TOS, obviously) and I was terrified because they wanted to use it on me. Edit: Actually, I think it was a "Jet Injector" (like a Star Trek Hypospray)...

Bingo! It costs more to transport the oil so they put the refineries right where the tankers can dock and pump it just a short way directly into the refinery. For oil from inland wells, you do get refineries inland for similar reasons. In areas where there is no oil, you pay more because they...

Pffft! That's not true. We know about the lumberjacks. ;)

Out of print, unfortunately.

Sound Burst is a 2nd level cleric spell that does 1d8 damage to anyone within 10 feet and stuns those who fail a will save for one round. That keeps them from acting, costs them their dex bonus and gives +2 to hit them. Timed right, this seems like a good spell for breaking formations. You'll...

There's a lot of cool stuff here, but I'm not looking to go as in-depth as some of these examples. I'm trying to keep things brief so it won't be a big burden on the players to read. I may well do this sort of in-depth workup for myself later, but right now I'm going for brief. It is a good...

Way back in high school, I played a half-ogre character who had horrible luck hitting with his bastard sword. In the middle of a fight with giant spiders, he became desperate and yanked a dead tree from the ground and used it as a club to smash the spider. He went on to smash more spiders with...

I've been working on and off on a new homebrew setting and I'm trying to compile a standard set of headings to use to describe the different cultures. I'm not going for an in-depth description (which is my usual problem) but rather a reasonably short overview. An example of such a list might...

I suspect so, but it isn't conclusively shown on the show. I suspect that the two bodies they found in the cave last season were Amelia Earhart and Frank Noonan.

How did he run away? A halfling has a base speed of 20ft (assuming encumbrance doesn't slow him down to 15ft) and a Tarrasque also has a base speed of 20ft. Unless the halfling has some means of increasing his speed, he shouldn't have been able to open up the distance if the Tarrasque gave...
