    Best Post-Gladiator Epic?

    I have not seen all of these, but I've seen Alexander and I am here to advise you to run screaming in abject terror if anyone tries to show you this movie. If the film had broken in the theater, I would have cheered. It was so incredibly boring that I wanted to run screaming from the theater...

    Looking for Lower Level Modules

    As Damon said, the DM just doesn't have the time. I can sympathize as I'm the overworked DM he mentioned. If it helps, we've been playing 3.0 rather than 3.5 because that's what Sunless Citadel was written for. (I can't believe people aren't arguing back and forth over the virtues of...

    Anyone know about Serial Ports?

    Of course some of us know about Serial Ports. That's what we had before you kids came along with your fancy, new-fangled "USB" nonsense. {/Crochety old grump} 10 Meters ought to be ok, BUT watch out for interferance. Unless you have a well-sheilded cable, all sorts of electrical signals can...

    is the H in IMHO actually Humble?

    I've heard that it means Honest and Humble at different times, so I guess it really depends on who is using it. Since many of the opinions don't seem humble, I usually presume it means honest.

    Looking for Lower Level Modules

    I suppose the title says it all. I'm looking for some good lower level modules. The situation is this. I'm playing in a group that has just finished Sunless Citadel. We didn't care for it. The DM was great, but the module seemed to leave a lot to be desired. The mission seemed to be...

    Funniest Home Dice Rolls

    Once I was in a campaign where our party found out about a young dragon in a ruined tower nearby. After much calculating on my part, I determined we could take it if we didn't roll too badly. So, we sneak in and manage to get the drop on it. I give the signal and we start firing spells and...

    How Mythusmage Would Change D&D for 4th Edition if Wizards Hired Him

    It seems like if they could do this without charging $75 per book, it might make them money as all the collector types go out and snap up both versions.

    The World is coming to an end - help me make it happen.

    The Vorpal Bunny! Giant Space Hamsters an OGRE (tank, that is) How about some sort of conglomerate beast that flows over the land like the blob and absorbs everything in its path growing ever larger. Regular weapons don't hurt it but are instead absorbed. Magic and magic weapons must be used.

    Battlestar Galactica:Season 2; Part 4 NSCR/8.5.05

    Back in the early 90s I had a traveller character who kept an entire arsenal in his room on the group's ship. It was specifically designed to contain the maximum allowable armament for every law level so he could always be armed as well as legally possible on any world they visited (and he had...

    Stargate SG-1: Season 9/8.5.05

    I thought it was some of both, honestly. Yeah, but I didn't think so before Atlantis. I found him amusing in small doses but figured he'd become horribly annoying as a regular character. I was wrong.

    Stargate Atlantis:Season 2/8.5.05

    I've noticed a pattern with Atlantis. If you look at the previews, the episodes look like they're going to be horribly cheesy and filled with overused plot devices, but in execution they turn our much better than the previews would suggest. This episode is an example. I was groaning over the...

    Battlestar Galactica:Season 2; Part 4 NSCR/8.5.05

    I suspect the various cylon factions have different reasons for wanting to allow humans to survive and some of them want them to get to earth, again for different reasons. I rather doubt they want Galactica to be around though so they're trying to get rid of Galactica without taking out the...

    Stargate SG-1: Season 9/8.5.05

    I don't really like the Vala character and I hope they get rid of her soon. I've nothing against the actress, just the character. I am glad, however, that Jackson is not being fooled by her tricks, even if he started to fall for the "poor me" thing in his quarters before catching himself...

    New Thread Marking

    The Kenzer boards seem to do it and these boards seem to keep track of what threads you've read during a session individually*, so I thought perhaps there might be a feature I could use to keep track of each forum seperately. * For instance, when I came into this forum there was a list of...

    New Thread Marking

    I'm curious if there are any settings I can use to change how this site determines what threads are new and which ones aren't? I know that after a certain period of inactivity the site marks everything I didn't read as read and the next time I visit only threads with messages newer than that...

    Well this was scary as hell

    I carried a sword myself for a while. In college I lived in an otherwise decent neighborhood (mostly university employees) that was just crawling with dogs. It seemed like every other house had big, loud dogs and they'd occasionally get out. One of our neighbors had a dog that was especially...

    Battlestar Galactica:Season 2; Part 4 NSCR/8.5.05

    I don't think it is. I don't think I'm going too far by saying that I suspect most people here would agree that the arrest was illegal by the Articles of Colonization. Rather, I think the main point of contention is whether he was right to arrest Roslin and I think this issue goes beyond the...

    Battlestar Galactica:Seaon 2 Part3 7.29.05

    This is what I think and it is why I support his actions. I have similar thoughts about this being a fools mission. This whole "retrieve the Arrow of Athena so we can use it on Kobol to find the path to Earth" thing sounds like a bad fantasy book, not a rational course of action. I want to...

    Tired of "Mana"

    Actually, I like the "name-after" idea as well, though I'd shorten "Gandalf" to "Gan" so you'd have a 9 gan meteor swarm, a magical item that took 21 kilogans of magical energy to make and a cantrip that only costs 500 miligans to cast. Seems short and simple to me.
