I think he must have done something to get the U.S. Government mad at him. After all, he went to guest star status because he wanted to spend more time with his family.... Anyway, I didn't know Amanda Tapping was off on maternity leave! SkwOOt to her! TWK

I played an evoker in a non-psionics game, a sorcerer who thought he was a paladin (very Don Quixote like), and a psion with the movement specialty back with the old Compressed Psionics Handbook. Oh, the tales I could tell.... TWK

Yeah, I was going to respond to the person who mentioned roads by saying, "Bah, they're not important -- everyone starts with them! It's pottery you have to build up to." but someone beat me to it. So you can get slapped by rival leaders in this latest (what is it? IV?) version? Whoa. TWK My...

I thought there were boy-eating sharks at the deep end of the pool at the Y. Both my dad and my fiancee's dad told us that television would rot our brains. Difference is, I knew my dad was kidding. When I got Link's Awakening for the Game Boy, I spent months wandering around the island looking...

Actually, I'm looking for someone to point and laugh at me [/sarcasm]. Yeah, I'm looking for a small bit of sympathy; not much, I understand how these things happen and it's not like we don't hang out and play video and board games instead. But. I'm not ready to "give up" RPGs and I'm facing...

So, first of all, our elf sorcerer stops playing because he's met someone from Paducah, KY and wants to devote his weekends to her. Okay, we've still got three players and I'm the DM. We can work on that. So we're in the middle of White Plume Mountain, and I'm looking forward to getting on with...

Well, Palladium FRPG and Rifts make everyone equal: Everyone rolls 1d6 for hit points at every level. And in GURPS, you have to pay 2 character points now for every HP if you want your total greater than your Strength score. So I am in favor of random dice and different die sizes for classes...

And the illo for the next issue seems to be the Lady of Pain -- and they've given her arms! Calloo callay! I can't wait for that picture. I always thought the old pics of her floating through in her dress and her Hat of Poky Things were pretty dull. I wanted some dynamism there.... More...

Well, I watched it and was able to turn my brain off enough to enjoy it. I did find a lot of historical inaccuracies -- but it's not a documentary. I probably won't go see it again, but it's an evening's entertainment and it'll eventually get into the dollar movies or even the dollar rentals. TWK

I can still remember my first glimpse of Star Trek. The local TV station was rerunning TOS after school, and I came in halfway through "Miri" -- I can remember the camera shot through a dirty window at some tall guy in a blue shirt who walks towards the camera. I was all of 6 or 7 at the...

Mmmmmmmmm.... Staaar Treeek... (gargle) I did not know that Enterprise was out on DVD yet. Okay... one more purchase-impulse to control. I haven't heard many good things about Enterprise myself. Maybe I'm just running into the naysayers. You all seem to think it's pretty good. Is it worth...

Currently we're running through White Plume Mountain. We haven't got far, and won't play for one more week, but I see great things afoot. The players, having never gone through the module before, have pretty remarkably solved the two riddles they have yet encountered -- the sphinx's and the...

Which he took the time to change into while his friends were dying.... :uhoh: "Wait! I can't rescue you yet! My coiffure's come undone!" TWK

Welcome to the neighborhood! I live in North Knoxville. Just be warned: you can't get anywhere in K-town without going on I-40/I-640. TDOT is your friend. You really like TDOT. The orange barrels are there for your protection.... I found a bulletin board in summer 04 called something like...

Hey, I know one of them! "Spell resistance? Is that like a saving throw?" TWK

Well, G3 was around for about 18 years, in one form or another. I've played a few sessions, and it does seem that it takes you forever to do things in combat, but that's because of the magnification of the time scale. Zooming it out a bit and allowing more than one maneuver per turn might...

Mine's just koot. I don't think I've ever used another one. Over at WebRPG they didn't use avatars, and when I came over here I went for a while without one until I found a website with all the LOTR characters on it, and I liked its Sam. TWK

I've got a player with a device that lets him cast TFD at will. I can't remember how he came to have it, but it's not that big an issue since I'm very lax on encumbrance. And it seems to give him some glee to mime casting it all over the place :uhoh: I would say he can have as many TFDs...

No, it's not evil, it's schadenfreude. I, too, am in awe.. I have sometimes had to rely on the generosity of my friends, and I know I've been able to eat an entire bag of goldfish at a shindig (but I brought them, and no one else wanted any), but that is an entirely other level of selfishness...

PCGen runs on Java. I don't have that on my computer. Is there any place I can download it for free? I tried googling "Java 1.4 windows" and got a site with a number of downloads -- not sure which one I need. Thanks! TWK
