I would suggest that, if this is really what you want to do, simply make it a plot device, and not based any specific rules mechanics. Defining it so concretely with rules kind of sucks all the real plot-twisting possibilities out of the affliction. The character has contracted lycanthropy...

My wife and I have been together for more than 12 years. My take on this particular subject (who gets to win arguments) is this: There are things worth arguing over, and there are things that aren't. You need to figure out what is and is not worth an argument to you... but most things...

Very often on the weekends, my wife and will play an all-day-long game of hot seat Civilization. While one of us is playing our (progressively longer) turn, the other keeps busy with some little household job... Washing dishes, folding laundry, vacuuming, dusting, etc... It's one of our...

Th easiest way to implement that would be to set up a social-networking style "friends" network... You could have access to view your friends' characters, but perhaps not to edit them.

But wait! there's more! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGK84Poeynk

You also have to understand that this particular episode is probably also a tongue-in-cheek response to a certain subset of the fan base that has been complaining recently of how the show has been getting "sexed-up".

It's delicious... Almost as good as the "Matt-atouille".

Yes... Inquiring minds want to know.

Let me fix that link... Find the list of "Atom" Alpha Mutations here. Find the list of "Atom" Omega Tech here. Find the list of "Rad" Alpha Mutations here.

I should stop typing now.

I found a Card List in a thread over on the Wizards boards. Looking through, it seems like it would take some work to convert many of the cards over to D&D 4E standard. It might be worth the trouble. Oh, well.

A couple of questions... Presuming that the booster packs contain both Alpha Mutation and Omega Tech cards, how many of each come in a pack? How well would the Omega Tech cards fit into a regular 4E game? I have visions of running a Dark Sun game which actually takes place in the wastelands...

Heh... It'll by no means be my first taste of that particular Web drug. Not a bad idea, though... I hadn't thought of that. Let me see what I can dig up there.

And it shouldn't, really. Half the time, I'll have a bunch of bad guys start to withdraw and retreat... Four or five will get cut down before they can really get away, and maybe only one or two will actually escape (which is still often enough to complicate things). But that's not...

+1UP I've used both of these tactics and similar variations* in the past (, and they've generally been well received. *In a recent adventure, while exploring the depths of an abandoned magical mine, the PCs ran across a few tons of raw residuum ore that was sitting stored in a couple of mine...

So, for my "Halloween Special" this year, I'm planning on running a combination of I1 - Dwellers of the Forbidden City, and S2 - Tomb of Horrors. I'm going to using the original adventures, with a twist... The adventures will be set in the middle of the unexplored Amazon jungle during the...

I was a little surprised, recently, my players actually ended up kind of making friends with opponents that surrendered... Mercenaries who were hired to go after the PCs -- "It's just business, nothing personal, eh?" -- but weren't paid enough to die over it. In one instance, the PCs turned...

Just to be clear... The idea of "favors" is a little more concrete than that. You can think of it as an imaginary in-game expense account gratned by a particular NPC or organization. Or, think of it as money that can be only be spent by purchasing goods or services from a specific NPC or...

You may be a bit facetious, here, but... No. Everybody comes to the table for different things... Some like puzzle-solving, some enjoy smashing heads in tactical combat, others enjoy collecting loot, still others revel in the minutiae of complex rules, and some like amateur acting in front of...

Too late. Don't penalize them by charging them extra. Let them enjoy their temporary boost, but keep track of how much extra they've collected and when monetary treasure comes up give them just a little less each time until they fall back to where they're supposed to be. Well, you could just...
