That's always been the one of the key elements of D&D in every edition, that with the same mechanics you can do Iron Monkey style wuxia and Soldier of the Apocalypse style metal with a difference in applied flavor. I don't begrudge anyone their preferred style of game, I just find it...

No, wuxia is particularly Asian phenomena, not anything really incredible and impossible. There's no jumping, wearing crappy costumes, dancing on edges of swords/walls/waterfalls/etc. Or blades that need to be sharpened on moonbeams and cut the air. Just a Gilgameshesque deathcore uber-badass...

I have the badgers and snakes!! They will be returned once you publicly admit Canadian Bacon is the one true pizza.

The punisher and any security don't mix.

I've got nothing against awesome, course everybody has their own opinions on what awesome is. I just don't like wuxia at all.:) My preferences of awesome are more like impaling it on a harpoon, dragging it to the ground, wading through the firestorm of magic the casters are laying down and bash...

Yek, I need more metal in my diet. the Bishonen-ness and the prancy around bouncing off the walls like hyperkinetic pinballs with perfect hair makes me want to vomit. It's just a bunch of "katana-porn."

I do most of my prep, stat blocks, notes, etc on a computer. I'll leave a laptop on the extra chair so I can manage the background music playlists or rapidly look something up if things go an unexpected way that needs me to check notes though usually I just adjudicate it off the cuff. I still...

"I say Holmes is that a swarm of immature gelatinous cubes" "Yes Watson I believe it AHHH!"

It was good, not quite up there with Iron Man overall but very close. The action was better than Iron Man and the Abomination/Hulk fight was spectacular. Good character development all round. Though I have to say if General CYA there were my father I would have killed him in his sleep before...

Yes but they only give two examples and fall very short on making it usable. There isn't really a system behind it. Rituals and Relics I've got and I think it's fairly good.

What can I say. It's not that 4e is a bad game, a lot of math issues were fixed. But they made it a game I don't particularly want to play or DM. I DM'ed 3e into the epic levels and never had a problem. To use Najo's examples Those were some of my favorite elements of previous editions of...

Nother suggestion here, check out Siddharta. They're a Slovenian metal band. I've found lyrics aren't so disruptive if no one in the group understands the language.

The cotter land issue is one of those difficult to pin down concerns. Contemporary sources such as the domesday book were largely concerned with the manor as a tax source. And the nobles themselves were mostly concerned with making up the taxes they were going to have to send out from those...

ALL HAIL LORD DIAGLUS

If I were going to run an older edition I would return to 1e with some 2e combat systems spliced on. I mean I even retro-engineered certain parts of 1e back into 3e. Like uncapped spells, fireballs that filled up space, bouncing lightning bolts, and such. And didn't really so much go to 2e as...

does the adventure involve a summoning? Cause I haven't played it. And "Awaken" should be reserved for the big stuff. If there is a summoning work up to it with less blatant. I'd recommend running two instances of your music player with the background tracks in one and "Awaken" paused in the...

Light up some Tyr maybe mixed with Guns of the Patriots and some Five Finger Death Punch

Doesn't mean there aren't people keeping an eye on the thread. :cool: And gizmo is closer to the right track on demographics and the condition of rural peasantry. Urban commoners were generally worse of in living conditions and diet than their rural counterparts during the time period in...

I have to recommend Lulu as well. I've used them several times for small runs of fiction. And as yet I haven't gotten a single bad copy from them. Covers are universally crisp and free of defect, cropping and margins good, no smudging or other ink issues. It may cost a bit more but you get...

I don't see any GSL stuff up at the link in the page you linked to. Don't think they got the stuff up yet, just got the splash redirect ready for when they do.
