    [Spaceship Zero] Q-Ship (actually updated 19 May 2007)

    "Total Escape" - Part 3 "That's great, Doc. I'll clap with glee as soon as I'm done dangling from this precipice." "I vill get a vine and we will pull you up." Gustav begins searching through the undergrowth for a suitable article of vegetation, discarding several due to their razor-sharp...

    X-PATH 2 : The Forge of F.U. (Completed 15 April 2005)

    8: Heigh Ho (It's Off to Work We Go) Floyd stopped. His eyes narrowed, and he slapped his shotgun down into his palm. "Now that's right unneighbourly." he announced. "And l'il Sadie here don't take kindly to rudeness." All hell broke loose. Two huge, hulking figures appeared out of thin...

    Alien Apocalypse - Anyone else planning on watching ole Ash?

    Definitely planning to see it. Maybe not this weekend, as I am very busy, but I am sure SciFi will give me lots of other opportunities :)

    Iron Lore: Malhavoc's Surprise?

    As someone who has played both games, I don't actually think there is that much overlap between them. Iron Lore is not low magic in the same way that Grim Tales is low magic. They each have a very different feel and focus. I think that will become more apparent as Mearls is able to reveal...

    Q-Ship: The Interview

    It's three seasons of six episodes each, for anyone who is interested in the specifics. I have all 18 episodes planned out (by which I mean I've raided every trope of serial SF I can, and noted down to do an episode for each :D ) The comic book guy is a good idea. I'll see what I can come up...

    Q-Ship: The Interview

    Saptzimaus - the questions for S'Ondra and Fury are great, but the interview is supposed to be contemporary with the show - taking place just because the last episode of season 1 was aired. We'll just have to hold them over for the 'restrospective' interview in the season 2 boxed set :) The...

    Iron Lore: Malhavoc's Surprise?

    I can vouch for this: PirateCat and the other players took on a (slightly modified) Green Dragon last night, without a magic item in sight. What they did have, however, were exploding marsh gases, impromptu barbarian abseiling lessons, and buildings falling on people, among other things ... fun...

    X-PATH 2 : The Forge of F.U. (Completed 15 April 2005)

    7: Stairway to Heaven / Highway to Hell "A ... dead ... end?" Floyd wheezed, leaning forward with his hands on his knees, "I ... climbed ... all those stairs ... for a dead ... end?" clang. clang. clang. "There's some statues and stuff." Bev pointed out, unhelpfully. She waved a...

    Q-Ship: The Interview

    Note to self: as a chaser to KidC's question, PirateCat wants to know if S'Ondra's actress has ever had a 'wardrobe malfunction' on set. Good to see he's thinking about the show's important social issues, too :D

    What do you not like about M&M?

    Takyris makes some excellent points - just saying "PL10, go for it", is a recipe for trouble. Successful M&M games need a little more guidance than that. Point (1) is absolutely vital.

    What do you not like about M&M?

    Incorrect. You're forgetting critical hits (+5 dmg, and comparatively common in MnM as they don't need to be confirmed), surprise strike (+1 per 2PL against foes who lose their Dex), Power Attack (which can be applied to any MnM attack - not just melee attacks - and has no Strength minimum) and...

    What do you not like about M&M?

    My in-game experience is quite the opposite, actually. There are enough ways around Protection (surprise strike, power attack, penetrating attack, hero points) that you can relatively easily hurt brick characters*. To respond to the topic, I'd agree that the biggest issue - though I don't...

    [MnM] Just launched my new superhero mini-campaign

    Trust me, he doesn't need any help! We're all having lots of fun, though :)

    How many countries have you visited?

    Not counting airports (such as Singapore), or places I was too young to remember (such as Malawi, when I was 2): Australia New Zealand USA Ireland UK France Italy Switzerland Zimbabwe Zambia South Africa Plan to add at least Canada, Mexico, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Denmark in the next...

    Boston ENworld Game Day–Mission Accomplished

    I'll be in if I am in Boston that weekend -- I'm going to SF sometime in May but I don't know the specific dates, yet. Will confirm once I know my travel plans :)

    Q-Ship: The Interview

    By 'show' I assume you mean episode? Answers will be limited to season 1 episodes, of course - the players can't comment on seasons 2 or 3, yet :)

    [Spaceship Zero] Q-Ship (actually updated 19 May 2007)

    "Total Escape" - Part 2 "We friends." S'Ondra calls out to her fellow Venusians, using the primitive syntax she learned in the crew's previous visit to the planet. Stooping, she picks up one of the roasting ganark and proffers it toward the darkness, "Come. Warm. Food." Slowly, bedraggled...

    Q-Ship: The Interview

    If you play in Q-Ship, go away! With that out of the way, those of you who read the Q-Ship story hour will be familiar with the 'DVD extras' that accompany each episode. One of the extras on the second disc is going to be an interview with the cast members, ostensibly filmed back when the...
