I like Pathfinder. I've played it, and I've enjoyed it. I've been reluctant to GM it, however due to its D&D 3.X roots. I GMed D&D 3.X for it's entire product cycle, stopping when D&D 4E came out (coincidence, not because a new edition was released). Now, as the time grows near where I'll be...

The rotation of the habitat ring provides GDS-43 Torus with enough gravity that you can walk fairly easily. Your AR displays indicate the station is currently maintaining approximately .5G. There appears to be something wonky with the station's electrical system, as the lights dim and flicker...

I understand what you mean. I wasn't being as clear as I should have been. I meant I keep my mouth shut if I'm just an observer of someone else's game. If I'm actually playing in the game or running the game, I do speak up if I have a problem with a particular play style. I just meant that I...

We'll just have Piratecat throw that cat on his smoker and it'll be good eats!

I will admit I'm judgmental about play styles I either don't like or don't understand. However, unless said play style affects other players' fun, I generally keep it to myself. The main play style I don't like is the adversarial "Us vs. the GM" style. I understand it exists often in groups...

I like the part where you can get Ptolus in print (via POD) again. I wonder how the quality is compared to the initial print run?

So, I totally didn't check the game thread while I was on vacation. Sorry about that. It's been updated now, though.

The airlock door slides open, beyond which, a light haze hangs in the air. It appears the air circulation system has either been turned off or is inoperative. Through your suits' external amplifiers, you can hear a repetitive beeping coming from the left corridor exiting the airlock. Opposite...

You are able to hack into Ring Rover's memory banks, but there are no signs of infomorphs in the shuttle's computer systems. Lights on the airlock's docking ring blink slowly as you maneuver to dock. The proximity alert sounds and your shuttle's computer begins counting down the distance to...

Just FYI, I will be on vacation next week. However, I should still have Internet access (I'd better! Grr!) so it probably won't affect anything. I expect I'll have several hours each morning to do my daily web surfing and work on Exploration Achievements in WoW. :p

Yes, you can "aid another", as it were. With Teamwork (page 117) each help adds +10 onto the Primary Actor's roll up to a maximum of +30. You do not need to be trained in a skill to help.

ICONS, Savage Worlds (with the supers companion), and Cartoon Action Hour 2 are at the top of my list. Which do you think is easiest to GM and easiest for players to pick up on with a minimum of explanation? Pre-gens will be provided, so they won't have to worry about character creation; just...

I'm thinking about a game to run at conventions based on either Saturday morning cartoons or somewhat obscure comics featuring 'toon superheroes where the team of PCs band together to fight the most obnoxious super villain of all: SCRAPPY DOO. With the help of some folks over at RPGNet, I...

The dangling elbow sacks always freaked me out when I was a kid. I still have my copy though. Best AD&D monster book!

I'm currently experiencing a dry spell. It started in early 2009, after the death of my first wife in Nov. 2008. One of my players left immediately and the game kind of fizzled after that (I think it lasted 2-3 more sessions). I met someone else, moved (a whopping 3 miles) and found myself...

The shuttle is identified as the "Ring Rover" and is registered to GDS-43 Torus. Its VI appears to still be online and begins to flood you with information about the shuttle. Ring Rover's batteries are nearly drained, with just enough power remaining for the VI to communicate. Information coming...

Just a reminder: you're welcome to tweak your characters (moving skills around and such) to better fit the backgrounds you've come up with. Once the first truly serious situation comes up, though, that will no longer be an option. I'll try to remember to post in this thread when I've closed the...

Obviously, the habitat airlock is the best place to dock, since it is both clear of debris and currently unused. If it was a privately-owned scientific and engineering research station, as your information indicates, it is likely to have significant security measures in place, though you cannot...

No. It's a fairly standard procedure. I'll assume you are all competent at your jobs. Docking (when you all eventually get around to it) will require a roll, though.

My fondest memories of playing AD&D 2nd ed. are of Spelljammer. I've recently started collecting the books and boxes for myself and would gladly run an AD&D Spelljammer campaign once I start playing again.
