    Warhammer 3e Demo Experiences -OR- How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bits

    Here's a link to the actual ICv2 review since I didn't notice a link in this thread: ICv2 - Review of 'Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay' There is no mention of gameplay at all in this "review." It doesn't indicate the reviewer has actually played the game. There really isn't anything that even...

    Coolest Cult in D&D History?

    The orc and pie cult. :p

    [November] What are you reading?

    I finished Butcher's Turn Coat and also read C.C. Finlay's A Spell for the Revolutuion. I haven't decided if I'll read the last book in Finlay's Traitor to the Crown series. I enjoyed The Patriot Witch, but A Spell for the Revolution felt too slow. I'm currently reading Relic by Preston and...

    So How Do You Recognize those High Level NPCs anyway?

    Their stats in the setting book. ;) I suspect this really is the number one answer for any campaign that takes place in a published world. In my games, high level NPCs tend to be leaders and have cool titles and gear. That still isn't a definite sign though.

    Do you need more dice?

    I always need more dice. I'm always misplacing them, so plenty of back up dice are a must. I even keep a spare set in my car in case of emergency. :o

    Who's Going To Dragonmeet? (London, next Saturday)

    Morrus is always after the Most Dangerous Game. :uhoh:

    Players: Have You Ever Asked, "Why Don't You Take Care Of It?"

    It's never come up in my games because the people sending the characters on a mission are usually less powerful than the party. The occasional powerful patron the group runs into is usually retired, crazy, evil, testing the party, or sending them on a mission far too trivial to be bothered...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Time/Season 1/2009

    I understand the concept of alternate realities. There is nothing in the concept that says that a change in the timeline, in this case kino A, only effects one other reality. It should logically effect, and exist in, every divergent reality that the change itself caused, and every divergence...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Time/Season 1/2009

    This was definitely one of my favorie episodes so far. I don't mind time travel as long as it is done well. Too many shows just don't do it well. Assuming the gate transported the 2nd kino back in time and the dying Rush or an animal didn't mess with it, there should be 2 kinos and a dead...

    what is the diff between optimized and not??

    I find that it is hard to make a character who is bad at his combat role in 4e, at least with the PHB. Combat problems tend to happen when characters aren't fulfilling their role effectively. It often happens when players are still learning, or when they simply aren't paying enough attention...

    V The new Series (spoilers)

    That opens up the kettle of fish of trying to infiltrate or replace people in the government, military, and media without getting noticed. The safest way for infiltrators would be to go into the organisations at the bottom, and work their way up. This would take years. It would mean that...

    V The new Series (spoilers)

    Some would, but a lot wouldn't. I can't believe most governments wouldn't come to the conclusion that the Visitors are a threat. There isn't much they can do, but they would be covertly preparing for hostile action. I also believe they would be doing their best to limit direct contact with...

    V The new Series (spoilers)

    Yet the people in the series believe the Visitors aren't smart enough to figure parking 29 ginormous spaceships, that cause tremors and knock out electronics, over our world's most populated cities might cause problems. The damage in dollars would end up in at least the 100s of millions...

    V The new Series (spoilers)

    Who would ever buy that an alien race, with 29 motherships over the most populated cities on earth, come in peace? Right, of course it takes millions of you to make first contact with us. Certainly not an invasion force here, move along citizen. Then they ask for water and other resources...

    [November] What are you reading?

    I'm currently reading The Patriot Witch by C. C. Finlay. I'm reading Jim Butcher's Turn Coat next.

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #6:Water/Season 1/2009

    Certainly. I expect they will be using the suits quite a bit, and training more people makes sense. They should definitely start cross training everyone in different fields. TJ should have at least a half dozen students getting medic training in their spare time.

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #6:Water/Season 1/2009

    No, when Col. Young tells Lt. Scott that they're going together, Scott mentions someone else who has done EVA before. Even if they had been the only two, it would still make more sense to go over the basics with another soldier and send him/her with Scott. Young's injuries made him a physical...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #6:Water/Season 1/2009

    It was an OK episode. It's nice to finally have some action. Eli is definitely stepping up and getting things done. He's a bit immature, but he still makes all the other scientists except Rush look useless. I like Colonel Young, and think he's the best leader they have, but he puts himself...

    Why do DM's like Dark, gritty worlds and players the opposite?

    No, it's not okay. If the other players aren't enjoying it, you should bring it up with the GM as a group. If the other players are enjoying it, you might be in the wrong group. An RPG is a collaborative effort. Not everyone at the table will enjoy every part of the game. Walking away from...

    the perfect soundtrack: horror

    Pretty much anything from Midnight Syndicate or Nox Arcana should work. Unfortunately Nox Arcana tends to have spoken words in their tracks that might be distracting. Edit: I'll add a specific album recomendation:Amazon.com: The 13th Hour: Midnight Syndicate: Music The following is very...
