    Rate Shaun of the Dead

    A ten out of frikkin' ten, people. There's stuff in here, script-wise, that's so flawless, so nicely done, you only catch it on the second viewing. I watched with a bunch of other working screenwriters, and we spent the entire evening literally swearing at the screen as effortless little...

    Hey Old One: After Action Report?

    Hey hey, been grinding away at a feat/skill FX system myself (you know, in between trying to con a network into running my show ... plenty of spare time ...) Anyway, got a doc I can steal a look at? I'm at jonrog1@gmail.com Oh, and I must say again, to all concerned -- Wulf has fixed the...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Oh, no, not Stewie. It was a ferret INVADER ZIM. And, by the way, Zim is now out on DVD. You must all go buy it. OBEY THE FIST!

    DarkMatter D20: Drunk Southern Girls with Guns ... UPDATED - 8/18/05!

    Cute. Well, I'll either have a ton of bloody free time in a week or none. The network will decide whether or not to pick up Global Frequency for 13 eps or not. Think X-FILES meets 24, if Scully punched people in the throat a lot. Light a candle for prime-time conspiracy goodness. We'll...

    The Scinterlands: Sibling Rivalry

    Wait ... the Materite has little curls? No. I refuse to acknowledge this. Cap does not have curls. Maybe if he got a buzzcut and stopped focusing on styling product he could master some of the more complex combat maneuvers. Like throwing that shield. Or, say ... climbing ladders. Don't...

    Talent trees for PHB classes?

    Grim Tales is super spiffy. It does that which you wish. Embrace it. I would not lie to you. Although I certainly applaud your desire to do it yourself. I myself have been laboring over a vehicle combat system and D20FX system for two years now (despite plenty of systems for both out ther...

    Do they have a wedding registry at RPGNow or anything?

    D20 Future Jedi AdC

    Green Ronin's Psionic's Handbook should be expanded into a full supers/FX game. Serioulsy, best rules out there.

    The Scinterlands: Sibling Rivalry

    Hmm. Unless I'm forgetting something, Pet herself hasn't spent a thousand years away from Humans -- she's a normally aged Human teen who's just spent her entire life with Valiant. Stranger-in-a-strange-land style.

    The Scinterlands: Sibling Rivalry

    Hey, jonrog1 here, because Andy'll never get around to answering. Tibbit's one of my favorite PC's ever. He's not a were-rabbit. He's ... a rabbit. Essentially short and stocky like a dwarf, but ... a rabbit. Big head, long ears, fuzzy paws, in leather armor. I cannot say again, how much...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Damn, sitting in the hotel room, I was so TICKED I couldn't get to this SH for a few days. Hope all is well with the gang -- and I have to say, a frikkin' pit trap and stirges? How ... Gygaxian of you. Oh, and one of our lads has started an SH based on the world where I actually get to play...

    Best Vehicle road combat rules?

    Grim Tales has a nice stripped down version of vehicle rules, and I do kinda like Redline. Sadly, cinematic vehicle chase rules were the first project on my list for my company, but other things just seem to keep popping up. Someday, though ...

    If I'd known that happened before I entered the story, I never would have left that bar ...

    A supers-system for me? ... Grim Tales?

    Second that Green Ronin Idea. I'm really going to get off my @ss about that FX Powers project. Stupid TV show, interfering with the gaming...

    Do my work for me... d20 Dark*Spycraft Adventure..

    Depends on how far into That Which Cannot Be Named you wish to go. How about the stuff is laced with a compound which affects the users in three steps: 1.) Great high, no bad effects. 2.) Heightened senses, mild supersoldier effect (for the grunts you fight), mainly in the no-pain feelin'...

    So what are the best d20 Mdern supplements out there?

    The Psychic's Handbook by Green Ronin. Just trust me. I'd say Grim Tales, which is more an expansion and clarification of D20 modern than just a paly aid. I will say again, the chapter on CR and balancing party conflict is worth the price of admissions alone. AND the best low magic system...

    Subtle Brilliance...

    I actually just ported GM"s system of action points for crits into my 3.5 D&D game, using the "action points reset at level-up" variant. My players' heads did indeed SNAP around at that, but they quickly got into the whole "spend it now, or save it for later" balance without obsessing about it...

    DarkMatter D20: Drunk Southern Girls with Guns ... UPDATED - 8/18/05!

    One of these days, I am going to stat that adventure out and sell it as a .pdf. I have the sad suspicion that it'll have a longer creative legacy than any of my little Hollywood stories.

    Grim Tales in Play?

    Well, not to run to GT's defense, but only a casual look at D20 Modern is no basis for comparison. As -- I like to think -- one of the more aggressively rule-bending-for-pulpiness DM's around here, here's a brief summary of what's different: Just better, cleaner writing than in any WOTC...
