Fruitcake does last forever. The college I attended started out as a military academy in the 1800's. They had a tradition that the seniors hid a fruitcake from the juniors, followed by a week long scavenger hunt style challenge to find it. When I graduated in 1992 they were still using the same...

Absolutely, and both in a positive and negative manner. Example: Once upon a time (1992) I was a HUGE Todd McFarlane fan. I snapped up everything the guy put out, Spider-Man, Spawn, you name it. Then I went to the Chicago Comic Con in 1992 and actually got to see the way McFarlane interacted...

I just discovered yesterday that asking for information about Burning Wheel can sure fire a thread up!

Wow. I sooooo didn't expect this much vitriol over my OP! :eek: Let me see if I'm getting the gist here. BW's big differences are: Speedy Simple Conflict Resolution aka Let it Ride! Sounds good if you want that kind of game. Reminds me favorably of the Amber Diceless system. Arguably you...

I've read the book. I've read a bunch of reviews. I've read interviews with the author etc. I just don't see what the fuss is about this game. It's got a few novel ideas, but what about it is really so special? I guess what I'm asking is What about Burning Wheel sets it apart from D&D, or any...

I'm currently playing in a game that completely ripped off Starblazers. BBEG's are dropping horrible things on us from above. We pile into our boat converted for air flight and hunt them down. My d20 Modern games tend to look at lot like this cartoon.

I've been having a torrid little affair with Take 5 candy bars lately. I love egg rolls, MDX energy drinks, nuts, cheese, deep-fried oreos, crab rangoon, cold cereal, black beans, almost anything from Taco Bell, corn dogs. I think I'd be safe in saying that my favorite food is meat. Pretty much...

This was a huge hit with my wife last year. This year she's getting The Great Dalmuti, Gilmore Girls Season 4, probably some clothes I know she wants, and whatever else fits the budget. :D Since you said your wife is at home with the kids, I'd reccomend anything that doesn't involve being at...

Seems like I post this link at least once a month. It just applies to so many social situations involving geeks. Read it. It has cleared up so many things for me.

That might be the problem! I wasn't sure if I needed to fill out fileds like "logo" since it's for pick & mix and I wouldn't use my logo anyway. I'll fix that, set my pc to accept all cookies and try again. Thanks for the help. :D

This happens a lot IMC, but I like it. I kind of use this as a gauge of my adventure design. If I'm using the CR/EL system correctly, then the first couple encounters should be fairly easy for the PC's. After all, they have full hp's, and haven't used any resources yet, right? After a few easy...

I did it first because my best friend had been DMing for a while, and he wanted to try playing. Later I did it because I was a megalomaniacal control freak. Still later I did it because no one else wanted to. I often do it because I am the best DM in our group. Now I mostly do it because I love...

He was probably influenced by RPG's. Didn't they say he got the instructions from books? No doubt the d20 Modern book has complete instructions for creating pen-bombs.

Childhood memories are getting blurrier by the moment. (Today's my 35th B-Day! I think I'm getting old!) I can remember many Christmas Eve's where my Father would tuck us in and tell us bed-time stories to put my brother and I to sleep. As I got older, I came to learn that a lot of my dad's...

Not sure if this is the place to post or not, but here goes. Over the last weekend I tried to purchase a Pick'n'Mix Publisher Activation. I have had nothing but problems doing this. For starters, I keep getting the "transaction returned a zero amount" error. I checked here in Meta, and saw that...

Go to a discount food store. If you have Aldis near you that would be perfect. $10 buys a whole lot of chocolate and generic snack cakes! Put them all in one big box and wrap. Almost everyone likes candy & Little Debbies. A huge present is guaranteed to see a lot of stealing action in a white...

I've been getting the same error as well. I'm trying to purchase a P&M publisher setup, and using paypal, I get the same "zero transaction" message.

I've just recently picked up Mutants & Masterminds 2e, and I'm sufferring from the same problems I had with Champions. Great game. Massively flexible. Too much work to make the hero I want! This is probably caused by my early fascination with the old TSR Marvel SH RPG. Man I loves me some...
