With enough force any blunt object becomes able to pierce, especially if the surface area is small. Proof: boxers getting cut above the eyes, the rather odd warning against wearing high heels on a waterbed or the concept behind sleeping on a bed of nails. I was thinking that Raphael threw his...

If you can find the 'Faiths and Avatars' book released shortly before the Players Option stuff (I think), it may have what you're looking for. This isn't much help but it tells how Jergal split his portfolios. Jergal offered three humans (Bane, Bhaal and Myrkul) godhood but warned them it...

Excuse the harsh language but I want some official info gosh-diddly-arn-it!

Admittedly this is getting a bit detail oriented. Did you ever give any thought to somehow adding in a stat as a measure of a wrestler's heat (popularity with the crowd)? If I wanted to get even more technical, what about clout? Some wrestlers will job to another to gain status like when the...

Gunpowder was discovered by Chinese alchemists looking for an elixer of immortality. I doubt it worked since the hut exploded IIRC. As for the use of gunpowder, the Chinese used crude rockets in the 10th Century tho they also lobbed bombs with catapults. Their oldest cannon dates back to 1290...

Nah. Obviously, Nessie got sick of eating haggis so went for some Chinese and got caught by some paparazzi. Those guys are like vultures! ;)

Yes, I have the Farscape RPG but IMO it's a bit wonky in some spots. That doesn't discount using it as a reference. Anyways, between MnM and BESM d20, which would work better for Farscape? I recall someone on here used low PL MnM for Farscape but was wondering if BESM d20 could do it better.

Dwarves, elves and gnomes get racial specific weapons which are normally Exotic WPs as Martial WPs. What about the others? I'm sure the half-orcs will still get orc weapons without a problem but what about halflings? I imagine the halfling warsling can be houseruled in like elves and their...

My semigruesome wisdom teeth story. The doc gave me some nitrous oxide (no laughing matter I might add) before the locals so when he started jabbing needles in my mouth, I only felt pressure of the needle going in and again when it came out. Three teeth were no prob as he just yanked 'em out...

Was that from a book of Elric short stories named (I think) 'Tales of the White Wolf'? There was another story where Elric teamed up with someone very much like Jimi Hendrix with a sword similar to Stormbringer but named Cloudhurler.

Strangely, the Russians get a few Tesla based stuff in Red Alert 2 (Tesla troopers, Tesla tanks and Tesla power plants). Back on topic, why not go a lil bit into the Twilight Zone for topics? Recently, the Sci Fi channel has shown a documentary on the Soviet Cold War psychic program. They...

I've looked at the promo and while limited, I could see several classic wrestling moves with the few listed and with a few extras added like a superplex (suplex off the top rope) or a splash mountain (crucifix powerbomb) so I have a pretty good idea of what's in the first and third book. The...

Gesundheit. :D

Tad OT Ironically, spaghetti has its origins in China, not Italy (or was it Sicily?). Gives new meaning to 'spaghetti Western'. Ok, back to the thread. I'm going to start an OA campaign for a friend of mine and his wife, who's never played but interested. The 'flavor' of the campaign would be...

I always had weird halfling names. Well usually. Previous halflings included: Dirk Farrell- a running joke in my gaming group was every campaign had to have a Dirk in it. Dunno where that one started other than from Dragon's Lair. Another running joke was the Farrell family that were a tad...

Admittedly I've only skimmed thru M&M and can see how to create many heroes or villains. I do have 1 question (for now) which hopefully someone else can answer. How would you recreate the Hulk's ability to grow stronger the madder he gets?

I'm surprised no one's mentioned stuff from the Ravenloft adventure "Death's Cold Laughter". Great, now I can't remember the name of the book it was in but I do remember a couple of the jokes. Q: How do you create an Improved Fireball spell? A: Feed an orc some beans. ---- Q: Why do elves...

I'm dreaming of a White (Elephant) Christmas... I was actually considering starting a Christmas tradition of 'White Elephant' gifts with my friends. That way, no one gets hurt if we get dren* as a gift, especially since it'd be expected. :D Klaatu *dren is a Farscape curse word for those...

[OT] Universal Greeting The only universal greeting that comes to mind is the one from Transformers: the Movie. 'Ba weep grana weep ninny bon.' (spelled somewhat phonetically)

Jerry is currently a color commentator for WWE's Raw is War with Jim Ross. Anyways, he tends to refer to any endowed woman's chest as 'puppies', starting with either Sable, Ms. Debra or Ms. Kitty/the Kat (his fiancee I think).
