It's a mistake, IMO, to leave it off a history of D&D precisely because it was not well received. It signaled both an end to the (O)D&D supplements (of which it is indeed comsidered Supplement V) and its reception made it clear that Chainmail (active/in print until 1985, IIRC) was not going to...

Maybe. Unfortunately, they set up the need to explain that by hammering us on Scott and Young being the only pilots.

A tricky mode that often feels clumsy. Even Raymond Chandler, who was a master, had to employ the device of his antagonist being a tough guy, and thus less introspective than most people would normally be (harder to pull off in a contemporary piece given how in touch everyone prfesses to be)...

Left behind the damaged shuttle for short hops around the planet with who to pilot it? He knew that if he was to leave the shuttle, Scott would not be left, too. Although it would still be useful for shelter and power, why say it could be used for short hops if he knows he is taking away the...

More like accidental than competing, as if the narrator is trying to make a clever statement utilizing one literal meaning of the word then adding a second statement that accidentally alludes to a second literal meaning of the word. That's part of what makes it clumsy as if the narrator doesn't...

My post above expresses that a figurative meaning is implied when two literal meanings are in use. I was not ranking what I found problematic with the opening line and agree that it is also clumsy. Of further concern to me was the confusion created by labeling the source of music(?) as the...

Also, use the name of the ex-girlfriend in the opening line and then allow the reader to learn who she is (though quickly). The narrator knows who she is and should think of her by name, not by the informational title the author wishes to convey to the reader. Whether it is first person (as it...

That particular sentence doesn't seem to contextualize the word very well. I suspect your editor will request a rewrite. "my?' leitmotif suggests a metaphoric meaning (. . . another day in my cyclical life . . .) but the reference to your "ex-girlfriend's speakers" suggests a actual/musical...

Don't forget cost. The best way to screw up this concept would be to overprice it and then claim it doesn't work because no one bought it at the high prce point. Piles of orcs (etc.) has been something people have screamed for since day one (check older DDM threads on EN World going back for...

Can anyone blame him?

No doubt that neg rep will wind up being used in that manner. The bandwagoning effect of having rep comments visible in posts and the cliquishness it will likely engender are going to be problematic, too.

Hit & Run.

I wonder if Rush was in contact with anyone by using the stone before the aliens picked him up on the planet where he had been abandoned?

I don't recall if they have gone into how long any of the characters on the show besides Eli were aware of the Stargate or aliens prior to the first episode. I get the feeling that many were recruited for a mission and agreed to certain NDAs but that most were only fully informed after a point...

I'm surprised Alice is continuing to do this well but also even more amazed at how Clash is doing. Is there a way to know if Clash is still mostly drawing on the 3D screens?

Cool by me. Might want to check with Rodrigo, since I think that was his copy last year. But Saturday is going to have to be the time we play for me to be able to be a part of it again.

ftw! :)

What is the player number limit for this anyway? Is it more with the expansion or the same? Currently, five of the six players who played last year have chimed in to save their seats for this coming Gencon, so I am not sure there will be any spots open, for those waiting in the wings (so they...
