    Who's The Boss roleplaying game in the works! Stan Lee on writing staff!

    The funny thing is, I'd probably get a book like this if Stan Lee wrote it. ;)

    It's a Christmas Miracle!

    I went to Half-Price Books for some last minute stocking stuffers. Lo and behold they have mint copies of d20 Weapons Locker, the full Nyambe line, and all the Penumbra books! It's a Christmas miracle!

    Best and Worst of 2005?

    Best Moment: Reuniting my ten year old 20 man Shadowrun team for one last adventure. Worst Moment: Slogging through yet another pointless adventure that got our D&D group NO closer to our ultimate goal. Best Product: Shackled City Adventure Path - everything I could possibly need! Worst...

    I hate monks

    I too hated the monk, until I realized the real problem I had was with the name. "Monk" implies one of two things. A catholic-style brown robed Brother Cadfael type, or a Kung-Fu fightin' man. But if you change the name to something like Brawler, or Battler, or Hand to Hand Specialist it makes...

    What's So Cool About Dogs in the Vineyard?

    I wouldn't say "completely". :D Both have the option to play a quasi-Mormon lawgiver/judge. Both involve these judges seeking to root out evil (supernatural or otherwise) from their communities. Yes, DitV has the whole moral quandry thing, but any GM worth his salt is going to include tough...

    Scrooge + Grinch = me

    Just because something is a "family tradition" doesn't mean it's a good idea. I went through a similar scenario with my family. We had people pissed off and angry at first too. Once everything was said and doen though, everyone agreed that the day was more peaceful and enjoyable, even though we...

    Fun with improvised weapons

    We had a VERY "healthy-chested" female player who always was clear that her PC was built in exactly the same proportions she was. She once beat a thief into submission with nothing but her "lady-lumps." It was simultaneously disturbing and arousing ... :uhoh:

    Letting players run 2 PCs each

    I find this worst best with certain types of games. In my "Crush, Crumble and Chomp" MSH campaign, I let each player have three different super-heroes. This was no problem, since you expect that sort of thing from groups like The Avengers, etc. In D&D we sometimes do it, but it usually boils...

    Favorite Character...

    He's part of a lackluster campaign, but Calvin Broadfoot aka Snoop Doggy Frodo - Gnome Bard has surprisingly been my favorite PC in 3.x! I purposefully built him as a challenge, because up to this point, I hated gnomes, and I hated bards (from 2e). However, Calvin has just been too much fun to...

    Adventure Path Three: You'd Do...

    For my group, the coolest part of SCAP was Test of the Smoking Eye. One of my players passed the test and received the Smoking Eye template - that was a moment that gets talked about over and over. I'd like to see AP3 have opportunities like that. If the PC's are clever and tough and...

    What is 3 dragon ante?

    It's a fun little betting card game. Easy to moderate difficulty - took my group about 10 minutes to learn. We had it down after maybe half a dozen hands. It's not too pricey considering the price of a well produced card game these days. It's supposed to be a game that you could play...

    Are you mean to your computer?

    I case modded mine. I cut a special hole in the side just so I could bugger it properly. /me is very cruel to my PC. (And it pays me back in kind.)

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

    Safer? Sure. Are they doing as much as they could to promote themselves? Not so much. Press releases help, but getting personal attention from an author means a LOT more. Case in point - I asked for help designing a M&M 2e character a few weeks ago, and Steve Kenson popped in and pretty much...

    [Myth-related] Can someone tell me...

    My books are packed away, but IIRC there are some versions of the tale that have Cerebus speaking to visitors to the underworld. That's justifiaction for better than animal INT. I'd suspect the other reason for the high INT would be the fact that he's smart enough to distinguish the living from...
