The Skywalker men can do stuff like blow up motherships and Death Stars, and everyone else just exists to block for them or die under their lightsabers. I don't think McKay is a superman. He's very intelligent, but he left basically every stat at 8 so he could buy up his Intelligence. He can't...

Thanks, Wayne! I'm sure I'll look back on it and laugh one of these days, myself. No, no one but me and the SO has anything other than the PHB and some of the splatbooks. The sorcerer's playa has to make do with the SRD -- heaven forbid he set foot in a gaming store. And I would like it if...

Of course, the vig vas inwented by a leedle old lady from Wladiwostock.... :D But I really don't see what's wrong with Koenig's 'do. It was a different era. TWK Mmmmm... velour.....

One of the players in my campaign loves him some polymorph. He even went through the SRD MM and picked out some good creatures he could turn into. First of all, I had to take him gently by the hand and explain the HD limit on the spell when he wanted to turn the 8th-level ranger into a hill...

Unfortunately, somehow my party has come to the conclusion that the giants couldn't have overrun Geoff on their own -- There Must Be A Power Behind The Throne. They are split. Each one has a favorite pet theory as to who's pulling the strings. The elf sorcerer's player thinks it's the drow. The...

There's a thread like this over on SJGames forum -- the first printing of GURPS, 4th Edition Basic Set I was crap. I got one, and they replaced it (thereby hangs a tale). However, someone over there describes a homemade saddlestitch binding that he uses on problems like this. It involves...

Well, I just found my answer over on Skip Williams' Rules of the Game on WotC's site: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050607a No, it's not dispelled -- you have to ready to counterspell to do that. It's just suppressed. A darkness spell would not suppress a continual flame effect...

Last session, the party fought some yuan-ti. One of them laid down a darkness spell. I'll be the first to admit I messed that up, because I hadn't reviewed the darkness rules in the DMG. The party had at least one everburning torch. The light from the torch would not penetrate the field of...

Ah-ha! A clue! He's attempting to communicate with me through code! I must decipher it at once. Otherwise, the aliens communicating with me through my braces will be cross! I didn't find it boring so much as gross and disturbing, and "exhaustively researched" turned out to be a lie at every...

I just found some on the conversion library -- you can get to it from the D&D Rules board, it's a sub-category. It's got all kinds of 1E/OD&D modules converted; I gleaned Borderlands, Silver Princess, White Plume, and G1-3 (although there's no D or Q). Those are the modules I actually own; I...

One of my players wanted a thief in a 2ndEd game I was running ... oh, back in '99. He said he was going to model the thief on Link from the Zelda games. I was thinking, oh, cool, some unarmored sword-swingin' leapin' climbin' action going on here. So he brings in an elf thief wearing a green...

Also, Fading Suns d20 (it looked like it promised what I wanted, but I haven't had the moxie to prune it), Deities & Demigods (useless bunch of stats for gods. I wanted mythology!), and the Farscape RPG (no one in my group but me and the SO likes Farscape). TWK

Kingdoms of Kalamar World Guide. It's not a bad book, I just bought it and skimmed it and never, ever picked it up again. Not even the nifty hex transparency got torn out of the binding. TWK

And while you're at it, would it be too much trouble to show some respect? I mean, c'mon, I keep the lights going around here! And wipe your shoes when you've been out! And don't talk with your mouth full! The Nagger Knight

Awright, I just got reminded of Weird Al. Bad EN World! You call that making me behave at work? Bad EN World! No biscuit! TWK

My goodness! More chest and less tongue? Who is that artist? Don't you know it's the other way around? Gotta get your drooling psycopath looking just right, you know. How about Scorpion? The spider slayers? Arcade? Solo ("Terror gets wounded! How 'bout, terror gets wounded!")? Hydro-man...

The Rape of the Lock is a parody of an epic poem, of course. Its tongue is firmly in its cheek, and it might not be appropriate. Also, its language is very dense. Here are the first two stanzae from Canto I: What dire Offence from am'rous Causes springs, What mighty Contests rise from trivial...

So... besides Smurfette, who was the other gal? I only ever knew of Smurfette, whom Gargamel created as bait for the Smurfs (because, even though they're tiny and blue, they're still lonely, darn it!) TWK

The book wasn't merely abridged, it was thrown out entirely after a certain point! The novel was written by Diana Wynne Jones, and there's a sequel of sorts, "Castle in the Air" (not to be confused with Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky"). The SO found Howl's Moving Castle pretty easily in the local...

Steeleye Span has some nice stuff. They have a 15-minute song about Montrose, who got between the King and the Church and paid the price. And on one of their later albums is a song about an Elf-Knight who comes to whisk away a human lady and kill her, but she outwits him and gets away. I like...
