Sorry, but ship combat never came up this session. Hopefully, something will happen the next session.

I'll be trying these sheets out on Sunday, as there should be a space battle. I'll give you some feedback after that.

Man, why didn't I pay more attention in math??? I have a wife, FOUR daughters, and THREE female cats. No WONDER I can't pay my bills...

Tis me you speak of, and that's still my email. You can find my 3E prestige class for the Mercykillers at the following link: http://planehopping.tripod.com/mercykiller.html . Drop Ambidexterity and Intuit Direction, change Wilderness Lore to Survival, and it should be good to go for 3.5 (this...

No, it didn't. In The Great Modron March, the heroes are guided by a lantern archon, so they don't have to worry about following a path themselves, and I believe a couple other adventures use the same device to get the characters to a certain layer. If the characters decide to go to a layer on...

Both, actually. And in Planescape, you had the additional requirement of pursuing a particular path of self-enlightenment (goodness), or you'd never have the chance of finding the portal to the next layer. The way I envision it, all the layers of Mount Celestia overlap and exist simultaneously...

It took awhile to build my core group of five players who could make it to a weekly tabletop game. We've had as many at 9 people at one time, but those extra were not reliable -- the latest dropout was with us for about 4 months, but has stopped coming, saying he won't be free to return for...

Thanks for the suggestions. Believe me, if I could turn my part-time job into a full-time gig, I'd do it in a hearbeat. It's in the industry, so it's what I want to do. Unfortunately, there are no full-time positions for the job. I only live 5 minutes from my night job, and while I don't enjoy...

Thanks for weighing in, Erik. I envy your job, but I don't envy your workload. :p I can certainly agree that such a schedule is not conducive to a family or relationship, unless the person is very, very, very understanding. Working 16-hour days, having no holidays off, and not having any free...

That's something I'll definitely have to try. I had developed a rapport of sorts with Jesse Decker and Matthew Sernett, as they were the editors under which my articles were published (and for one of them, Jesse came to me instead of me submitting a proposal), but when Matt left, all the...

Probably the biggest or most significant house rule I use is allowing spells from spellbooks to be cast as scrolls. The spell disappears from the spellbook, of course. It's strange, but most of my players tend to shy away from wizards, and this rule lets the spellbooks recovered from opponents...

Yes, it is a paying job...quite well, considering it's part time. More per hour than what my wife makes working full time as an assistant manager for a shoe store. I've come to the conclusion though, that I need to set Star Wars aside after this story arc is complete. According to the wife, I...

Thanks for taking the time...now get back to writing! :p

This is the most likely option. There are three GMs in my group, and we rotate campaigns every so often. Since the Vampire GM is MIA, I guess I need to wrap up my Star Wars d20 game and let the Warhammer d20 GM step up to the plate. Star Wars is the most intensive of the two games I run, because...

Is it too corny to say I want to make a meaningful contribution to the genre I've enjoyed for the past 23 years? I'm proud of the articles I wrote for Dragon, but I have other ideas I'd like to develop.

Thanks for all the responses. It looks like I have to make a choice about things, and if I want to write, I have to cut back on something else. I work full-time on the night shift, and a part-time job during the day. I run a weekly Star Wars d20 game at my house, a weekly Planescape game online...

I have nothing but admiration for the many RPG authors that frequent these boards, both the freelancers and those who have hit it big. I read their published works, I read their threads about their personal games, I read their blogs, and I read their off-topic posts about family and the world in...

Several of the gaming stores in my area charged either by the hour or by the table for space. Most of them were taken up by Magic: The Gathering players, however, and since all the tables were in one big room, it wasn't really conducive to roleplaying. Those businesses have all folded now...

Although that's the way we spelled it on her birth certificate when she was born, we were informed that it's not an American letter and typewriters can't duplicate the umlaut (or diaresis, whichever you want to call it), so her name is legally Zoe. Rhiannon will physically attack anyone who...
