If a mage were given the time to blink before being hewn down in Anime style blood spray effect, it'd probably be the only WoD force capable of handling a combat Exalt.

Sounds like a player has to have a prelude with him, and address both setting questions and rules questions. If it's open ended, where you can explore anywhere, head into a combat- if there are problems, discuss the rules, point to the citation that he can't use without the books or core...

Adding to the list. Watership Down: Hazel chases the Black Rabbit at the end. (You can argue both chases are great scenes). The Patriot: The silent young daughter of Gibson's character breaking down on the beach as her father leaves. Phantasm: Just about any scene with the hovering silver...

A pink Cadbury's Mini Egg can bring a smile to anyone.

Heh this weekend educators are getting 25%+ off everything except comic books at borders (AND FREE COOKIES) so I'll be perusing for the Player's Guide along with maybe a few literary things to sandwich it between.. you know, for the childrens.

It's not so much a problem with min-maxers that I see, as it is the traits commonly associated with them. Simply turning out a powerful character with a number of drawbacks (mins as well as maxes) isn't a bad thing... it's when there's a radical twist of min-maxing player taking extremes that...

Our party encountered that kind of sitch.. my wizard lobbed a fireball down the hallway, and tried to overestimate it considerably. It backlit the enemy long enough for everyone to get a bead on where he was. Another recommendation I can offer is the use of bullseye lanterns instead of...

Re: Merits and Flaws At least the guy who wrote them was vocal about his own "I hate Merits and Flaws" stance. With luck, he'll take out everything that was broken about the original flaws and merits, and make them a little more workable and less abusive. The whole "I'm afraid of Tuesdays and...

I approve of this article if for no other reason that it gives a sideways suggestion that one of the primary functions of the internet is to find and track movies with big robots in them.

Well... Stormtroopers are clones of Jango Fett. Jango Fett is supposedly as cool as Boba Fett. Strangely however, many Stormtroopers all together can't hit a 12 AC Princess Leia (ok maybe she's got the Def bonus of a Noble.. but still) So, the Ninja Equation (The more Ninjas there are, the...

At least we weren't accused of regularly wearing white shoes after Labor Day.

Given my experiences, I have to agree that it is the responsibility of the players to ensure balance at the table as well. I've seen players who focus on making 'living' characters that evolve, take feats to reflect what's happened in the story, and aren't based on maximizing certain powers...

One way to make magic a lil more difficult / rare is to ditch Spellcraft and Knowledge Arcana, and instead introduce Conjuration, Abjuration, Evocation, Divination, etc as class skills for wizards and sorcerors. At each level, calculate the maximum number of ranks a character can have in each...

Allowing damaging spells to go directly to wounds would turn most campaigns into a slaughter house. A character's wounds don't increase per level, so a 5d6 fireball dealing its average damage of 15 will drop anyone with less than 15 Con, level 2 or level 20. Even with stackable feats that...

Heh, or a Paladin / Cavalier Roper. "Must.. get.. on horse.. HURK!"

We don't have hard and fast rules in my group, but I know that when I"m playing, i find it very disjointing to be asked to drop out of the lala land of fantasy and let someone borrow my PHB. I use mine to roll on as a bit of superstition, and rarely look anything up in it unless asked to, but...

hah That's great!

I've been enjoying the game. Haven't seen too too much lag, but I tend to avoid servers with triple digit pings. Originally I was pretty irritated at the ability of Manta drivers to just mow down dozens of players, but then I spent a good while trying it myself. On the whole, it seems like...

I'd wish the Angel would let me follow him.

Potions weigh nothing, and are a no real burden to carry. If you had 100 lb boulders of Cure Moderate kicking around instead of potions, then there would be a burden. However, the whole "A N/PC stands next to you for a round, and wee you get 1d8+1 healing for it." is far less of a stretch in...
