Thing is, it's a joke that has ceased to be funny. As players themselves, many readers identify with the Oots "players". So they have an immediate visceral reaction to "DM railroading" that is entirely and unavoidably negative, and spoils the strip. If Roy had said "Stupid dice." that might...

Re: Shadowborn favored class Glad you liked the book!

Any official rewrite of the arcanist is a long way off, simply because it would need so much playtesting. I'm just about to start work on a sequel to DH (well, once I have another project finished, I will be). As far as I've seen, what Dalamar's posting is from the adventure, but I haven't...

*sees thread* *expires in geeky joy* :)

If all goes to plan, I should write over 200 pages of IH material next year. Does that count as still being supported? :)

The character I had with leadership was a cleric who had recently been enobled, so he had territories to look after and people to convert. His followers were distributed around the Duchy, promulgating the word of the church and keeping an eye on things to make sure there were no civil...

So I go home to Australia in 4 weeks, and discussions of a Saltmarsh-y kind have been happening. No promises that there will be a story hour yet, but things look hopeful for a Saltmarsh: the Next Generation campaign. Dibs I'm not the cleric!

Some time ago, I posted a link to a special thread that players aren't allowed to look at. I head home to Australia in 4 weeks, which means I will be able to put the plans of that thread into action. If you'd like to add something to the process, now's the time to do it :)

PirateCat is planning to be there, I believe.

I fully expected Samuel L Jackson to get eaten when he did in Deep Blue Sea, actually. Saffron Burrowes's death, on the other hand, caught me off guard. Assault on Precinct 13 also surprised me when, after she miraculously survives a car crash, the love interest of the main character gets shot...

"Venusian Christmas Carol" - Part 5 John Fury didn't become a war hero by freezing in a crisis. He spins and slams the heads of his two guards together, knocking both unconscious. Then as squawks of outrage and distress rise behind him, he races out of the room - - and we cut to Gustav and...

I've never read Urbis, despite some curiosity about it, because of the website format. If you did a PDF, I'd be far more likely to actually read it and give feedback than I am now :)

We play commune much as you did - prep the questions in advance or risk losing the spell early due to delays. In complex situations, we'll often have a couple of different strings of questions threaded out ("If we get a 'yes' here, ask this, otherwise ask that.") I'm still enjoying the SH. It...

Hang on ... you mean she hasn't even got back there yet? How many books are out now? I read the first one when it came out and enjoyed it, but I never could work up the enthusiasm to read the second one when I realised I would need to re-read the first to have any clue who anyone was.

Thanks, Z. You gotta admit, when I have a deus ex machina, I really have a deus ex machina :D

"Henchman Productions" would be me :)

"Venusian Christmas Carol" - Part 4 Commander Fury is grim-faced as he walks along a cement corridor. Two guards in Space Force uniforms salute as he approaches a large pair of double doors. Fury nods to them as the doors swing open, then he steps inside. As the doors close, the camera...

So no-one else will be at GenCon SoCal and looking to game?

Actually, this is the kind of product I would only ever buy in PDF, because I don't think I would get enough utility to justify paying for print. And to be honest, for the specific subject matter in question, $14 is more than I would want to pay anyway. It doesn't matter how well the book does...

I've run a horror-esque game on or around Halloween for the last 5 or 6 years, now. Just after Xmas 2003 I ran a session that was a homage to the classic "It's A Wonderful Life". I'm in the middle of doing the story hour of that very session right now :)
