Hmmm - "Krell" just popped into my head. Don't have any of the books near me. Am I remembering right that is the floating brain with a BIG beak and tentacles hanging under it? (Did that even make it to 3E. or am I stuck in a previous edition?) Then again, my mind would probably just refuse...

Well, my (12yo) son enjoys watching the show, but has basically given away his cards to his friends. Some of it is simply a giving spirit/pleaser attitude he has, some of it was that some of his best cards were lost/stolen, and some of it seems to be that he doesn't craze over getting the...

Those dungeon stamps sound cool. Since I didn't go to GenCon I have no clue what they might look like, so the web site could use a little bit of expansion... I'd really like to see pictures of them in use, or maybe a rough sketch of what the stamped shapes will look like? Or maybe just a...

The Draxxus Nebula Originally, this region of space was deemed too hostile for Terran life to allow exploration. Early probes were lost completely, and later survey ships returned to inhabited space on autopilot filled with dead crew members and maddening logs of sickness and demented ravings...

TSR put out three or four packs of monster cards WAY back when. Seems like they were approximately 150% the size of a regular playing card size. On the front was the picture, and it would make sense that the stats and monster name were on the back but I don't exactly remember. I don't think...

Man that astrosynthesis looks sweet! The price is not, however, especially considering that right now all I have to use it for is to drool. I'll put it and fractal mapper on the "if I inherit from an unknown rich uncle or win the lottery" list. Guess the existing Heaven & Earth will have to...

I saw an article just last night at either CNN.com or foxnews.com that asked a question similar to this thread. It's conclusion was essentially that the countries with the most winning required the athletes to always (or at least very frequently) perform, compete, sell, prove themselves and...

Oh well, looks like the issue is settled for Inconsequenti-al, but my suggestion (building off Modrons and the gears of Mechanus especially) would have been some sort of pendulum clock counting down to a (supposedly) inevitable apocalypse at "midnight" (or 6:00, or whenever). Just put the...

Hmm, I don't remember anything like that happening around issue 307 (Westeros and George RR Martin Exclusive), but I'm not surprised after the venom that accompanied my 15 minutes of fame. (Perhaps that is was Sigil IS referring to.) The issue for THAT was #275 (2000 - September?), the one with...

Well, I wondered how the market hadn't crashed with the recent lack of purchases on my part, and after reading these posts I'm really concerned that the RPG industry is about to implode! (all TIC, of course) For me, I've been forced to reprioritize over the past couple months since we got news...

Thanks guys! I laughed out loud every time I read another BBEG heart attack scene. Now I gotta explain it to the wife.... I like #5 - if you watched TNG, one of my favorite episodes was the one where you saw more and more of the next time around and Data finally kicked them out of it with his...

Quite a list, tjoneslo! Your bookcases must really creak if all those "yes" correspond to books on a shelf somewhere! Is the CX a complexity rating or a personal review type rating for fulfilling what it is supposed to do? (I notice you don't have a CX rating for Construct Mechanus - is that...

Ranger, It's been a long -LONG- time since I read the book, but I don't remember the campaign setting book of Star Drive to be massively Alternity rules oriented. More fluff and less crunch. So perhaps check it out on eBay...

They called it a finale. It wasn't. "Finale" to me implies some type of significant resolution or conclusion, and I felt very little of either. As far as I can see, all that changed in that last hour was "we know who did it and (VERY roughly) why" and "Kyle is better". EVERYTHING else is...

I'm a bit relieved to see this thread. I have not yet received mine either. Figured it was another lost issue (it would have been my second one this year) but I guess I'll wait a bit longer before requesting a replacement from Paizo. Did the distributor change (or is that "change again"?)...

I'm going give it a shot, but like someone else said mostly to avoid the post-contest "I didn't even try" regrets. If this comes anywhere near the thousands of settings entries, then as a first time writer I would likely fall over in shock if I made any sort of cut. I've got the overal premise...

Wasn't Amazon one of the distributors that got dinged when they sent out stuff early? This was "way back when", but I remember WOTC getting huffy about it for some specific (group of?) product(s). Shoot, it's so cloudy in my memory - what was the actual product that caused the uproar? Was...

Really. And that's the maximum amount of times you could use it if you devote them to that one thing.You'll also be burning your points elsewhere. I don't like the low number of points overall. I'm thinking if we ever get into playing this setting to up that number. Maybe "per game day" is...

Well, there's the "you have to touch it to affect it" issue, although that might not be quite the problem at 14th level as it is at 1st. For this specific case, p111 says it does allow a "Will half; see text" saving throw so somehow it doesn't completely fall under the "no save" rule. If it...

Pants "suggests" => Mieville is good. You want to read China Mieville. ;) I hear and will obey, my master! ;) (Blew THAT saving throw!) After a bit of searching I realize that LeGuin's work is not completely unknown to me. I had heard others give some acclaim to an "Earthsea" series - I...
