I think the system is fundamentally flawed due to two major factors, and a corollary: 1. From what I've seen in many EN World threads on alignment, gamers tend to imprint the alignment system with their own moral compass. 1a. The alignment system itself is billed as "guidelines," not as...

It says they're to be 7" tall. Nice for a setpiece Big Bad, but not so useful for day-to-day gaming. I like those RAFM (not RAMF) minis a lot! They've just started a new line of Modern day investigators. (And I had little trouble putting together the elder things--I bought and painted 4--and...

Until recently I kept mine in a Crown Royal bag. I just broke down last week and bought my first dice bag (from Chaosium): it has the Yellow Sign of Hastur on it! But those are just the three sets of "in play" dice I use most often. I keep my d10s (for White Wolf) in a glass jar. The rest of...

...from their respective concentration camps across the southwest. Hey, it makes Starting Occupation a snap. ;)

(Hey, this must be the new EN World, where even the Moderators can rot perfectly good threads with back-and-forth exchanges that no one else wants to read. Take it to e-mail, y'all!) EDIT: See how thread-rot afftects us all? I didn't even realize I was adding onto/restating what fusangite and...

I think it's not so much a question of startling originality, but rather using every advantage the dragon has got. To wit: once you've got your wyrm statted, mosey on over to the Combat chapter and see what that bad boy can do with a simple Trip or Disarm attack. I won't ruin the pleasant...

In the interest of redundancy (and officiality), I submit this recent bit from Bullet Points: ...and that's what Owen K.C. Stephens has to say.

Still negotiating with the Mrs. Assuming that works out, I'm running D20 Modern in the morning.

(also e-mailed to Xath.) D20 Modern, morning session **Removed pending negotiations with Mrs. Cashel** While I'm negotiating with the Mrs. regarding my availability, I'll repeat Rasyr's question: what's up here? I'm still waiting for feedback, confirmation, disconfirmation, or just a hale and...

Wow, a thread title with my "name" in it. It kind of scared me at first. I mostly do freelance editing, but thanks for the tip, Mythmere--I'm going to check that out.

Any Troll Lord employees who may be lurking... I freelance. And I'm damn good.

They knew the risks when they bought their tickets. I say let 'em crash. Wait...wrong movie.

Was the identity of "Future Guy" ever revealed in Storm Front I and II...?

Dragonworld, by Bryon Preiss and Michael Reaves

What a great episode. The ending completely blindsided me, and I blurted out "COOL!" Been a while since I could say that about Star Trek. Feels good. :D Plus, you've got to give props to "So far, Captain, your ship is rather small and unimpressive!" "Funny...I was just going to say the same...

I don't really buy this as a truism. How much of the player's enjoyment in a typical D&D campaign really depends on the accolades of the general populace? Not much, in my experience. I think a fair share of the treasure and some XP trumps a key to the city presented by the Mayor every time...

How about using Brian Lumley's Titus Crow stories as a template for an ongoing campaign? Here's a snip from Amazon.com: Seems like this would dovetail with D20 CoC quite well.

...who are, IIRC, "hated and shunned by the world they've sworn to protect." So what's your point?

Then how do you explain the popularity of the X-Men?

A lot of game worlds are predicated on the notion of an "adventurer culture." PCs are treated like heroes, and eventually, demigods. There are shops that cater to their needs. Magic is a tool, like anything else (unlike every mythic tradition, the use of magic in D&D has no inherent negative...
