One. Million. Dollars. Actually, if I let him play my favorite character, nobody would believe it was him, because there's no way hed' get it right. He'd probably be run through by the rest of the party as an imposter or something. (Of course, his wife hit 17th level and got true...

Does this follow the movie GitS, the TV series (Man-Machine Interface, I think?) GitS, or the graphic novel GitS? J

Will do. It'll have to wait until we're done with Sharpe's Company, Luther, and the first disc of Firefly. Hmm. I should start a thread about people's Netflix queues. J

I just want to say that I got to use Torn Asunder last night for the first time (in conjunction with the Grim Tales version of action points.) The dwarven barbarian proved that you can indeed throw a dwarven waraxe, you just can't hit anything with it (natural 1, critical failure) and the...

Uh-oh - I just put this on the netflix queue. They've got the "Director's Cut' - is that what you have on VHS?

It became a running joke in my Freeport game that one of the PCs could never grow her hair long because she would invariably get hit with some kind of fire spell and force her to get it cut again.

Didn't Kiarensalee also go after a certain other demon lord? I'm amazed that nobody's decided to take her out, out of fear that they'll be next. J

10th level mage, average hit ponts: 25. Maybe he's got a toad and/or a decent con - let's say 45. 1st level orc warrior armed with greataxe, maximum damage: 48. If a greataxe can take out 10th level wizards in one hit, it is clearly borken.

Magic of Faerun, actually - 2001. Don't know if it existed in 2e or not. J

True confessions time: I've never been to a really big con. I think the biggest one I've ever made it to was the first Otakon, back when it was still in State College, and there's not much here locally - the sci-fi con, Confluence, is pretty small. But, it looks like we (which is to say, the...

The Exile Kiss. There's also a book of short fiction out called Budayeen Nights. It's a damn shame that he'll never get to finish Word of Night or Helpless. J

The wife and I are doing this as well - the platform wasn't a choice for us, though, since we already have a PS2. So far the variety of the songs hasn't been a big deal as I can;t get too far past the easy ones anyway. Workout mode, which they have on DDRMax at least, has easier steps than...

You're treated as if using two weapons - the primary hand is x1.0 damage.

A lot of people will (have!) talk(ed) about the skill ratio, but it tends to get overstated IMO - and if you shift the point-to-skill ratio, you make certain skill-related feats worthless, or actually detrimental. In general, supers with high levels of skills in lots of areas can be done just...

Which you get by spending your points differently - you just don't need to get any extra points for it. Nuncheon-with-an-n, let's keep our fictitious names in order. Again, not really true. A 1-level weakness will be hardly noticable at all. Even a 3-level weakness isn't insurmountable -...

The mass combat system - true to its roots - looks like it'll be great for large amounts of people fighting other people. Since that's what you'll get in Conan, it should do you just fine. If you were looking for standard D&D you'd have to do some revising and altering to handle monster units...

They suggest doing this in the book - having 'common' effects that you use statted out. Then if you want to use something similar, you can build off of that effect rather than creating it from scratch. J

Two hardbacks? Because you could get more paperbacks and even more PDFs for the same amount of money...OK, I'll take off the rules-lawyer hat. Just because I'm super pimping this book, I'd suggest the Book of Iron Might from Malhavoc, for the maneuver and stunt rules. That's if and only if...

Ben Durbin (ENWorld's own Wulf Ratbane) and Alejandro Melchor come to mind. I also like a lot of stuff Sam Witt has done. And there's this Kulp fellow that really ought to put out another adventure someday.

The idea that 'more powers at lower ranks is less powerful' just isn't true in M&M in the same way it is in D&D. Even low levels of certain powers - such as Invisibility or Incorporeal - are almost equally as effective as high levels. Low levels of abilities like Precognition and Telepathy...
