    Rogue Sneak Attacks

    I'll be honest, my players came up and wanted to start a new campaign after The Winter War series (most of the PC's were dead, those that weren't, were totally messed up, but the PLAYERS were happy with the results. They'd won) using the rule variant from Unearthed Arcana where you buy and build...

    Ravenloft anyone?

    LOL No sweat. On that note, I think I'll put away this here square bottle and hit the rack. Morning will come bright and early. ----EDIT---- PS: When I read that, the mental image ballooned into a chubby black lab mouse with spectacles laughing.

    Ravenloft anyone?

    Yeah, I know. But for some reason, it always felt like a "him" to me, ya know? Maybe because I keep thinking that the guy in charge of the old 2E website that used to be up was in charge of the whole Arthaus thing. I can't remember his name any more, so when I think of Arthaus, I think of the...

    Rogue Sneak Attacks

    Honestly? Tell both players that you'll accept it, but it's on "probation" to see how it works out. If you let them know, up front, that you'll be watching the character closely, the players usually take it easy. Forcing a change can be unpleasant for a player (I'm in a campaign where me, as...

    Ravenloft anyone?

    Whatever, man. I misspelled Azalin, it happens. If you're going to disregard my whole opinion based on that, that's your problem. Anyway... It's been awhile since I picked up the books or ran the setting. 3.X fell a bit flat for me, and while I'm not sure why, I'd love to see Arthaus try...

    Does a publisher/author's interaction here influence your purchases?

    I'm arrogant and opinionated. If I don't like the person, it better be a DAMN good product for me to pay to support them. Having said that, there's been more than one publisher that I just couldn't stand online, who has hit some hard times and I've had some friends buy thier products, or pimped...

    A gripe about sidequests and loot in CRPGs

    Yeah, they really bolo'd that game, after complaints it was too hard to find/buy stuff in the original. Originally, if you dug in someone's locker they either hit the alarm or capped you in the melon. Deus Ex 2 is a pale shadow of the original. one of the things that REALLY annoys me seems to...

    Zombies: Plot Help

    90% of surviving a zombie apacolypse, YotZ in particular, is trying to become better armed and protected, as well as maitaining a safe place to run. Now, YotZ follows the "Conspiracy Theory" as far as things go, so atypical subplots the PC's could run into include the following: Someone out...

    Same with me. I just handed off a copy to the FBI and went back to sorting my email.

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    I just remembered... Yes, a laser is great, absolutely fantastic... BUT... For shipboard fighting, against spacesuit clad foes, on a ship that has evacuated it's atmosphere to avoid decompression damage during combat, four weapons stand out: A knife. A sword. A crossbow. A pistol. Picture...

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    Let's see, we have: Gyroscopic rounds, allowing a linear accellerator to shoot them around corners. Guided projectiles, acting like mini-cruise missiles. Ramjet rounds, to bring the speed up to astronomical levels. "Skip" rounds, that phase in and out, allowing them to pass through objects...

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    You know, I see this all the time, "This site debunks XXXXX" but frankly, the sterile laboratory != battlefield conditions. I've seen men go down, the magazine deformed and shrapnel wounds from the round shattering, still alive. Believe me, if you gave me a choice between a gunshot wound and...

    Gay PCs or NPCs

    I've noticed a lot of women who play lesbians or gay males in order to keep the other male players from hitting on thier character. Having said that, I've had quite a few gay and bisexual characters and PC's over the years. The most notable one was a Paladin & Wizard in the party...

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    That's a good question, actually. An intregal power supply to a weapon can make all the difference. Think of Demolition Man, and the built in charger on Wesley Snipe's high-tech rifle. Thought of: No. The Science has Moved from Theorum to Concrete: Yes Of course not, but, if we lay a...

    OGC Wiki?

    Really? That's not what I'm reading. And no, it hasn't been a theme all along. Want to know how a lot of us got into publishing? By another publisher saying: "Wow, this stuff is good, have you ever thought of publishing?" What I believe jg was saying is: If publishers works are going to be...

    OGC Wiki?

    I don't know if any of mine has been used. Bad Axe Games was nice enough to allow me to use some of thier rules. RPGObjects was nice enough to allow me usage of some of thier rules. Monte Cook was nice enough to allow me to reprint some of his work. Actually, there's a lot more than that...
