    The Celestial Empire (Romance of the Three Kingdoms-ish, Updated 12/09/05)

    Three updates a week! Are you a madman? You'll get us so spoiled that when school rolls around again we will think we are watching paint dry while we wait for "only" one episode a week or so. Sheer lunacy! Other than that - your story telling technique is strong enough to have me sitting on...

    T20 Traveller - The Kursis Charter (complete Aug 8th 2005)

    I keep trying to think of something witty (or at least obnoxious) about "80 dtons of old rope and 150 dtons of bulk plastic". There's got to be something good that you could do with that much twine and plastic but I guess I'm just tapped out. Thanks for an update, Morte. Gotta keep the...

    Star Trek: Enterprise -[Spoiler Talk]- Stardate:506050

    Nobody has said anything about the injection that the crazy Terra Prime guy (was that Paxton?) gave himself. Any theories? I was thinking he was an escapee (or maybe descendant, depending on the timeline since he stressed getting rid of them to keep mutations or whatever out of the race) of...

    carpedavid's Land of the Crane (Updated 11 May, 2006)

    Great, here's another (different) opinion to toss into the mix. I prefer the two colors juxtaposed in #2. But you're right, the red dot DOES shout "Japan" to me. What is the effect if the colors are reversed? Then you get the red crane, have the bold dark circle behind it and dark lines on...

    The Cheyenne Mountain Irregulars: A Stargate Story Hour. Updated 7/20

    Well, that's five great story blurbs in a row with no misses I could see. Count me subscribed! Now where's #6? :)

    The Celestial Empire (Romance of the Three Kingdoms-ish, Updated 12/09/05)

    What an excellent ending! Great buildup to what appears to be a clear shift in mood and direction, and a surprise that leaves us slavering for more while we're roasting on this interminable spit of waiting for the next installment. Bravo, Mr. word-smith!

    Places to buy rpg books online?

    alldirect.com is always my first stop (make sure to search by ISBN if you don't find it by title). If they don't have it I'll try overstock.com, then books-a-million, and finally amazon. That STILL doesn't get everything I want, so I've been trying to find another place myself to find really...

    Ancient Wisdom (Modern Dark Supernatural)

    Ooh, I'm almost happy that the other stories that gave me my dark modern spooky ooky magic fix have slowed down. OK, not really, but I AM happy to have uncovered this gem while on the latest fishing expedition for another vicarious 2nd hand RPG experience. Go ahead and increment your devoted...

    carpedavid's Land of the Crane (Updated 11 May, 2006)

    Back from vacation, and delighted to find another installment of this great story. No specific comments on this one, I enjoyed it all around. Looking forward to see the promised carrots dangled before our noses in action, along with the body to go with those tempting titles. Just one thing to...

    Crothian's Fall!!!

    I just saw my "fewer than Crothian" number. I feel so ... inadequate, and wondered who could be so cruel. OK, actually I thought it was rather ingenious and funny (and cruel, but still). And then I realized what day it was ... er, became while I was dallying around here. Can't wait to see...

    carpedavid's Land of the Crane (Updated 11 May, 2006)

    Another great post, Carpedavid! This description: "thousands of tiny, hooked barbs. He grimaced as chunks of his skin ripped away from his fist, and tried to fight off a wave of nausea" was delightfully gruesome, and yet not overdone. This description: "The words flew from her mouth and...

    T20 Traveller - The Kursis Charter (complete Aug 8th 2005)

    Great stuff as always, Morte. The side quest to the wild west was fun, but I'm looking forward to some spacey stuff again. Wow, I gotta get me some of that chameleon stuff - what kind of hide benefits are on that thing? Or is that Maelcum was already a ninja-in-training and just has the high...

    carpedavid's Land of the Crane (Updated 11 May, 2006)

    Oni, automatons AND Hengeyoki? Oh my! I figured you weren't limiting yourself to a published campaign world or some direct derivative of a published set of rules, but the mix already shown here proves that I'll never know for sure what is "out of bounds" in theses lands. I'm not complaining...

    Sins of Our Fathers II - New Art Uploaded - 1/25

    I have ordered Valus from Amazon and should have it in my sweaty palms in a matter of days (ok, maybe weeks since I went for the free shipping). As a loyal Destan supporter, I hereby humbly request a story update. Even if just a little one! You really don't want to see me cry and beg...

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

    Third page! What is this doing so far down? * Casts "bump to top" * Since I have made it to the current end of the thread, I figured I would appear long enough to echo the chorus and say that I'm enjoying the stories along with everyone else. Great characters, great events, great chills...

    Where would you start an Eberron campaign?

    I'm with Bobitron. My first spot to set up shop would be Thrane. I'd do a silver flame/church inner-politicking/uproot the bad guys in the hierarchy type game. Base of operations somewhere near Flamekeep. It's pretty much centered on the continent with good water access to the northern parts...

    carpedavid's Land of the Crane (Updated 11 May, 2006)

    Hmmmm. I hadn't tried to really analyze any specific parts of it. I'll try to keep an eye out for things in the future that I can clearly say "that was really good" or "this didn't work for me". What I DO know is that I have been enjoying them. Please continue - your writing skills will only...

    Falling from Flying Mounts

    Didn't Sage Advice have a similar question in one of the recent Dragon magazines? December or January, I think. Don't know how official you take those suggestions rules (seems like some from these boards nearly automatically discount most everything said there), but IIRC his answer ended up...

    Anyone have the April Dragon yet?

    Mine came today. I always read them cover to cover - at the moment I behind, working through February issues of both Dragon and Dungeon so the later ones just sit around until I can get to them. However, for the original requester, here's a very brief skim through the Umbragen article: - not...

    Info posted about next season premiers of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis

    Err, did I miss an announcement about that show? Granted, I'm quite ready for the Seifert stories to be history, but so far holographic Rommie is still around in the series. Will Doyle completely replace her? Is the series cancelled (I'm sure some will say "finally!", but I can usually find...
