D'oh!! I can't believe I left them off my list. Although I always forget who GG is over here. I left out Nerfherder too, and Piratecat. And a bunch of people from CM whose EN usernames escape me now. I need to go to Gen Con. Anybody wanna make me a loan? :(

I'd meet Hobo if given the opportunity. But I'd have one foot ready to kick him in the junk. :p I'd like to meet Morrus, Eric Noah, reveal, Rel, Quasqueton, Crothian, Umbran, Henry, Mouseferatu, and probably a few other people I've forgotten. I wish there were more women I'd like to meet...

I was about to conclude there was no love here for Hero when I spotted this. Hero has rules for fantasy characters, and it's about the most flexible game system I've ever played. You can be anything you have the points for. I'm also a proponent of RuneQuest, though only 2e - I've no experience...

I've been given poor service by employees in my FLGS in the past, but I didn't give up on the store. My FLGS used to have one guy who was obsessed with Warhammer 40K and wouldn't give the time of day to anyone who didn't express an equally fervent interest. I must not have been the only one who...

The trouble with that quote is that Dave Wise's wife was assuming that the non-roleplaying moments (or whatever moments she assessed as "non-fun") weren't fun for the players. Lots of people get a kick out of looking up and arguing over rules, kibbitzing, moving minis around the table, and other...

Same here. I was keeping most of them in Word, but I'd fallen behind on backing one of them up. I still haven't been able to fill in the blanks in that particular story. :( I'd be reading Morrus's Age of Worms story hour, and Piratecat's, if only I didn't have to be at work.

Azlin's tale, part 3 My new comrades and I weren't sure if we wanted to continue looking for the warforged killer. We weren't getting far tracking him down 'til we heard that the crazy warforged, Copper, was the one handing out the gold links we were finding. Artemis decided to give the search...

Azlin's tale, part 2 I've been in Sharn for a couple of months now. Starting to learn my way around, though this place is so complicated and multi-leveled I doubt anyone can ever know all of it well. Got a message from the Cannith artificer, Artemis, inviting me to dinner, more than once...

Azlin Valkara's tale, part 1 Well, we're falling behind a bit here, so I'm going to get things up to date and we'll just have to keep waiting for Artemis's journal entries. I apologize to any readers that my entries just aren't as entertaining as Devo's. Player's note: I've decided to retire...

This episode sort of reminded me of a movie serial from the 1930s. All the dashing about, and the happy reunion between Tallulah and Laszlo - though of course in an old serial Laszlo wouldn't have been stuck as a pig-man. ;) My fiancee and I both blurted out "Elevate me!" when all the...

A Surfeit of Trouble Thanks to the Lady's mercy we managed to survive the encounter with the spiders, though it was a close thing. We settled back down to complete our rest, Pimani watching over us so that Roland, Latan and I could all refresh our spells for the day. I was resting quietly...

I don't see why you need to rely on real-world biology. In the real world giants would be crushed to death by their own weight. Perhaps what giants are called has something to do with their dietary habits. Stone giants could eat mineral substances, frost giants might eat snow, and so forth...

I'm all caught up on all of the Story Hours that actually belong to me. But there's one that actually is "owned" by another player, and unfortunately he's fallen behind, which has made me fall behind too because I wait for him to post first before I add my update. :(

You, sir, are the admiral of admirable. :D You're not exaggerating much to say that editing is almost as much work as writing. To be a good editor you have to know the topic of the material you're editing so you can edit for content, as well as for grammar, spelling, syntax and punctuation...

My thought when reading gizmo33's comment was that you're not a complete goon - you're just being too honest! The players I'm sure don't know that youre NPCs usually don't have any magic items. You could easily have just rolled some dice and ruled that the sunder attempt was successful, or at...

Nice review. And how did I miss that it's illustrated by Alan Lee?! I was waffling over whether to buy the hardcover or wait for the paperback release. That made up my mind. Now I just have to wait for next payday... :(

In no particular order of preference: Bronze Age magical fantasy. Victorian steampunk. Present-day modern fantasy - the real world, but with magic, vampires, etc. Space-traveling sci-fi with lots of aliens and a slightly gritty atmosphere, similar to Firefly or Farscape. Futuristic superheroes...

As Viking Bastard says, it's not airing in the US yet. It's never been on BBC America AFAIK, only on Sci Fi Channel, and they're a season behind. If we're lucky they might get the third season sometime next year. Also, the title of the series is Doctor Who, not Dr. Who, so if you search by Dr...

Funny, when the Dalek/human hybrid appeared, I immediately thought of Cthulhu! :D I think the Doctor tends not to jump to conclusions. Just because the thing in the sewer had genetic material from Skaro didn't necessarily mean there were Daleks present. He'd wait for more concrete evidence...

Beneath the Temple of the Eye Tyrants My friends and I raced to the relative safety of the ruined temple as fast as our legs would carry us through the sand. I sprang onto a stone ledge just outside the main structure and turned to face our foes, my blades at the ready. As I did so the worms...
