    [DawningStar] The Great Unknown (Updated 11-5-07)

    "oh, excuse me!" mentions a new arrival on the scene, as he accidentally steps on Shieldhaven's foot and spills the tiniest bit of his extra-large-giganto tub of popcorn into pogre's lap while trying to manuever past their positions. He can't help but notice how they've so "selfishly" taken the...

    RuneQuest Deluxe

    AAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!! I caved and finally bought all those books a mere three weeks ago! This is the second time I have barely not waited long enough to have the "newer and better" editions - the other time was the announcement of 2nd edition Mutants and Masterminds. I take that back - it's...

    Aphonion Tales (New posts 6/13, 6/15, 6/19)

    I was shocked - shocked I say, to read this: “A skilled drowan assassin?” repeated Dame Brionna. “That could be very useful I realize her paladin-ness has lost a bit of the luster what with her focus on her government role and her sidelining into that prestige class, but really! It may be...

    No Sallah in Indiana Jones IV?

    Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one that thought that. I was very disappointed to hear recently that Spielberg had taken him under the wing in an attempt to groom him into the next big thing. If true, there will be plenty of future big-money movies that I may never give a...

    Idea Flowcharts for Session Planning

    Looks interesting and promising. I see a "sharing" feature available - care to make one of yours available to show us exactly how you use it? Do you include only very high level thoughts/scenes or do you fully flesh them out with NPCs/monsters and stats, skills with DCs, etc? I guess I have a...

    D&D 4E Will you buy 4e?

    Naw. I've decided that when 4E comes along I'm getting off the train completely. I still have PLENTY of 3e and 3.5e books lining my shelf that I haven't gotten around to reading. Even though it doesn't stop me from purchasing more, it does mean that I'll have an overabundence in supply to...

    Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords

    I enjoyed it for a while. I'm not actively playing it now, but I do keep up on the patches for when the mood strikes and will look into the expansion pack. (Thanks for the heads-up!) Most of it was good, and only a few things drove me to the point of irritation. Seems like I didn't much care...

    Have you given your kids fantasy names?

    I dropped a few such names into the mix of potentials when we were considering names for our boy. I liked several of them and didn't think any of them pressed the boundaries all that much, yet they were still regretfully some of the first removed from the pot by my non-gamer...

    Problem of math

    Two drives - graviton and planetary Make the ships use two modes of propulsion. The critical one is some sort of barely understood graviton drive - it's effectiveness is somehow directly proportional to how close it is to a gravity well, and the amount of gravitational tug in the space-time...

    Aboleth Mage spellbook?

    I like the slave idea, but I can imagine the added irritation that would come from not only losing your spellbooks but actually having them running AWAY... Let's see, something that would make sense for their natural peculiarities.... Acid etched, psionically sensitive crystals/gems which are...

    Medallions d20 Modern (Update Wednesday 09-20-06)

    Hallelujah! The dead CAN rise! I'd finally gotten through the various stages of grief and loss over this mighty story, and here it is delivered again, all fresh and spangly new. Very creepy insect-controlling thing there. Thank you!

    The Tomorrow People

    Not seen it yet. But I do have it in my blockbuster queue and the first disk is nearing the top so it shouldn't be too much longer.

    Threshold Canceled?

    That was my thought. Sometime in the week after the last episode we saw recorded of the events in "alien-infected alternate reality", one of those remaining crewman finally hit the right idea that saw the signal being transmitted across the world. Homo Neomutantalieno thereafter promptly...

    Invasion 10/19 (SPOILERS!)

    I'm still watching it, Remus. Yeah, the Sheriff is definitely "other" - his "not to me" line at the end of the recent episode cinched that for me. For the longest time I thought he was "merely" a human collaborator (but with the aliens of military I didn't know). I was favoring a...

    Psionics for Spycraft 2.0?

    Awesome! My Spycraft 2.0 book came just yesterday; haven't even had a chance to crack it open yet. Then this thread and Morgenstein's reply pointed me to the Alderac forums - now I'm signed up in another place where I can lose myself for hours. I didn't see any way to subscribe to the thread...

    Tell me about Chicago (esp. Sears Tower)

    Isn't that the building at the end of "Adventures in Babysitting" that towards the end the little girl (who IIRC loved THOR the superhero) escapes from the bad guys by climbing outside and scaling along the sloped section, while her parents are at a party a couple floors away? Sounds like a...

    "Classic" Scifi/Fantasy shows?

    ** scribbling furiously ** I'll look into all of these - thanks! Some reminders of some I had heard of but never saw more than pieces, but there are plenty I've never heard one lick about. This thread is really worth it - keep 'em coming if there are more! Prisoner ... was that the one where...

    "Classic" Scifi/Fantasy shows?

    Yes - I HAD forgotten about him! Caught a couple of episodes on PBS maybe ... 20ish (? ugh!) years back. Yep, looking at the pictures they fell into the Tom Baker/Peter Davison eras. OMG, Mininova shows info for episodes up to #137 and season 18! Not anywhere complete, but even what's...
