Eesh - I thought it was rather inappropriately overemphasized in the books considering the ultimate conflict is with their god/world, but John Varley's Gaia trio (Titan-Wizard-Demon) starts with a race of centaur-like things with suitable parts for both halves. (and I don't reall remember, but...

Ah, the d10! While you aren't actually a true regular polyhedron, you are the only die that makes logical sense--metrically speaking. Chances are, others see you as over-analytical or a goody-goody. While that may be true, you also have a gift for patience and tolerance. Growing up you probably...

Well, next bid has to be $255.01 or higher, so the "step up" right now is $5. I think that means that hellsreach either knows diaglo's habits, had insider info, or just plain out lucky bid 1 penny more than diaglo maxxed it at. I'm curious about the "hellsreach can afford this" comment. Is...

I count that as five! *rubs hands and quietly begins chuckling* Storms of Bathani are frequent occurences in the north east area of the map ( tentatively labeled as the Straits of Gi ). These violent storms are the result of huge, mysterious whirlpools that appear and then quickly invert to...

This theocrat is a half dragon (black dragon for the "voodoo" part? Maybe green? The other half is elf) who is expansionistic and converting the living population to undead minion armies precisely because the ritual to convert one to the other is what is keeping her alive. She is several...

Not having searched for actual rules that might apply, nor taking the time to think through all of the repercussions, I lean towards letting all effects dissipate harmlessly at the target's death. Otherwise, you've got any number of remains lying about with spell effects lingering on them just...

Oh good, it wasn't' just me. I thought "Major Sheperd goes out to check big light, comes back and says absolutely NOTHING about it either on the planet or back at Atlantis" to be EXTREMELY odd. Sheesh - which brings up another thought. Could "Major Shp" really NOT be Major Shp? Some...

Yes and no. Maybe? Tripp is still officially the Columbia engineer, but ended the episode on loan for a while to Enterprise. Seems like it was to get the engines back to top shape, and (don't remember if explicitly or implicitly) to better train the new engineer who had let things slide...

Doggone it, Valerian! That's two extremely useful villains that should be repeatedly plagueing the players with impromptu appearances, yet the "pesky kids and their little dog" ... er, "cat, too!" spoils the fun. Whew, I applaud your honesty in letting the chips fall where they might and then...

OK, I really liked the tether scene too, but something niggles at my brain about it. Was there, or was there not, any real lateral force happening between the ships - some type of "space winds" or something? Originally I thought no, that Tripp's major difficulty was merely coordinating his...

Hmmmm, I thought it was just me struggling with my work firewall. I was trying to scoop up a couple of ENPublishing things before their discounts ran out earlier this week, but after selecting a couple of things the site just sort of hung on me. Never went back since I did think it was a work...

Happen to have that one in my pack. End of page 28/beginning of page 29 appears to be the rules mentioned. The gist of it is under certain conditions that help to prove the good being's true benevolence and allow for continued communication, an evil being must roll a will save vs. the good...

OUCH what a twist! I had pretty much written off the attackers as a lost cause when the bucket headed out, but now it seems back to hopeless for our fearless protagonists! (If I'm picturing it all right)

*poke poke* Morte? Was looking through the story hours in my special "I like to read these" folder, and noticed yours had dropped to the bottom. I'd really like to hear how things developed further in this game! You still with us?

Yes, there IS a down side to TIVO I know how you feel. The Mrs. has started watching all kinds of new shows recently, stuff that she heard about on "The Soup" after recently TIVO'ing that. I think it's this one and then one with someone called Vern? (Surreal Life?) that I really do NOT...

I've gotta admit, I was rather slack-jawed, "who/what the HECK is THAT?" myself. Brain wheels spinning, trying to remember anything about them and figure who/what/why the reasons. Would be great if we had something from trek lore to lock in on for reasons, but I'm still looking forward to...

Hooray! Great continuing story. Only thing more I could have wished for is that Mr. Aranea had met Mr. Dagger. I was hoping to find out what else it could do ... on him! Still, that must have been an incredibly satisfying outcome to the PCs - but I can see how it might have been...

It completely flips it for me. I don't have Psychic's Handbook or Cry Havoc but they were both on my "buy when I make a windfall" list. This book has now moved far up that list so that it will likely be in the next shipment or the one after that. Now if I could just find the time to actually...

" I now have Libris Mortis. I think they'll regain any lost fear. " I wonder if we can somehow link in sound files what with the new server and all. That sentence definitely needs some sort of accompanying "mad scientist cackle/BBEG bwa ha ha ha" type thing. Can't wait. "Heh... wait and find...

Yes, I had forgotten about the parry/dodge. Mostly because I prefer magic using types and with so few actions it seemed (IIRC again) like I either had to take the hit OR cast a spell. Maybe it was attempt a parry or make an attack. Like I said, I really don't remember. But this thread is...
