Far from it. He's one of my best friends. Nothing jerkish about it, IMO. And compared to the dragon, a GB is small change. I think the dragon, and the dragon's player, caused him far more headaches than I ever did, especially since my major battle tactic included point-and-click with the Boom...

I thought it was a fairly solid episode, myself. There was a bit of culture shock when the marble merchant's son came in with a hangover. I said, He can't be 21, but then I remembered: 1) This was made in England, and I've no idea what the legal limit may be; but even more so than that, 2) the...

I played RIFTS(C) for several sessions a few years ago. I had a Glitter Boy; my soon-to-be-girlfriend had a cyberknight; the GM's wife was playing a young elemental wizard; and among our three other friends, a techno-wizard, a were-lion, and a dragon. The Glitter Boy's main armament is the Boom...

Be careful about talking about playing RIFTS with another system's rules. That's just chumming the waters. Mr. Siembieda makes Disney look cute and fuzzy when it comes to protecting his intellectual property. If you want to make a RIFTS conversion, don't talk about it online. I think he...

Thanks for updating! I was having trouble viewing the PDF in Firefox, so I switched the settings over to download the file instead of displaying it. If anyone else has a similar problem and wants to know how I did that: 1. It's under Tools --> Options. 2. Click on the Content tab, and look...

Whoops, File Not Found Hey, I tried to download your file (thanks for sharing, by the way), but the website hosting it said the authorization key was no longer valid. Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks again for your generosity! TWK

I've been working on several adventures for Saga Edition, and I know that one or both of my players may want to carry their blasters concealed. I know that it's a Stealth check, opposed by Perception checks, and that blasters impose a -5 size penalty, while holdout blasters are +0 size and +5...

A Long-Winded Explanation You get triple your HD at first level, plus your Constitution modifier once. Soldiers and Jedi get 1d10 hit points per level. A 1st-level soldier with Con 12 gets 30 hp, +1 for Con, for a total of 31 hit points. A Scout with Con 12 gets 24 +1 hp, while a Noble or...

I thought that was the process for determining overall CL for encounters with threats of different CLs. Certainly all the examples on p. 247 are of opponents with different CLs. But I guess you gotta use the methodology you've got. TWK

Ah, okay. My book is in error. Thanks a bunch! But I'm still not clear on calculating the total CL for multiple opponents who are all the same CL. Could someone explain that to me in small words? :D Thanks! TWK

Challenges? And yet my copy of the Saga Edition sayeth: So it seems to me that a CL 2 clone trooper, at 6th level nonheroic, should be a pushover for a group of 4 2nd-level heroes. You'd need 4 such clone troopers to be a challenge. Do you know something I don't? And I'm not clear on how...

Yeah, I really enjoyed that episode. It was a real larf after the previous two, when he's being "John Smith" for reals. That I didn't like at all. TWK

I've always understood that they were self-granted titles. The Doctor, in re the Master's title: "You picked it. Psychiatrist's field day." And the Doctor has been calling himself John Smith when he needs a (vanilla) pseudonym since forever. I think it's become something of an inside joke...

My wife and I went to see it recently. Our opinion was that DeNiro stole the show. My family went to see it for my parents' 35th anniversary. They were raving about it all that weekend. That swordfight between Tristan and Septimus had to be physically hard for Septimus. It was full of tropes...

This is going to keep me laughing all through the long wait to Indy IV. TWK

Several questions keep bothering me about the base where they take the Surfer. Since when does the U.S. Military have a secret base in Siberia? If it's super-secret, it must have cost a lot to keep hidden from the Soviets, assuming the base dates from the Cold War. If it's more recent than the...

Cool, that's the entire Key to Time series (season 16), plus the Robots of Death (Season 14). In broadcast order, that's: The Robots of Death The Ribos Operation The Pirate Planet (Douglas Adams FTW!) The Stones of Blood (Are there no Anglicans in England?!) The Androids of Tara The Power of...

FASA had an old Dr. Who RPG. Good luck finding it. I have heard that one of the major problems was that the Doctor was such a powerful character that he overshadowed everyone else. I think that you would have to use the Universe, with the Daleks and the Cybermen and the Draconians and the other...

"And in other news..."

Why not have Darth Vader, at the end of Revenge of the Sith, break down and sob? That lame tantrum he throws is less compelling. Plus, it avoids more dialogue (which George can't write well, anyway). One other thing about Star Wars: It's not an ending so much as a change, but this just...
