Just had to jump in here and say -- the Career Compendium is a great book. I like the fluff on each of the careers and it's a handy compilation of a lot of maps and bits of information scattered around the other source books. Also, the Beginning Career set table -- so that you don't have a Rag...

I think he's one of the DMs that feels the combination is overly powerful and has chosen to change the way it works in his game. It's a house-rule and it's not all THAT uncommon. It is, however, a house-rule. By the RAW, it works with the two feats and a Frost weapon (or any other source of...

Also, I'm pretty sure that's seven weeks IN COMIC TIME, so those of us reading OOTS will most likely be entertained for quite some time to come. :) After all, Belkar's "Change of Heart" was seven weeks back. How long ago did that comic first run, when he had the delusion and came back with...

First, here's my bias, so you can all dismiss this 'review': I'm a fan of the cartoon from the 80s. :) So here are my thoughts on the movie, which I finally got around to seeing yesterday... First, they didn't eliminate some of the things that should have fallen away in the first movie...

Awesome to see a new story hour from your gang. I will be following this with interest.

I view the Dresden series as a kind of modern renewal of a lot of the pulp detective novels written in the 1940s and 50s. They're kind of like popcorn for the soul. :) That said, I just finished "Turn Coat" a few weeks ago myself, filled in the gap with "The Appeal" by Grisham, and am now...

"Children of the Horned Rat" would be your friend here, if you want to stick to Warhammer rules. The skaven make *lots* of experimental and very unstable weapons, usually involving Warpstone. The thing all of these weapons have in common is in their weapon rolls. Depending on just how...

I'm not all that familiar with Iron Kingdoms, but I have played a lot of WHFRPG. I've had a pair of mages in the party in all that time. One is in the current campaign -- she's a Journeyman these days, but has never cast anything but Petty and Lesser Magics. She's never yet had a Chaos...

I'm really hoping it gets renewed. I watch it, my mother and father watch, even my grandparents enjoy it (plus, grandma thinks Nathan is hot...) I honestly can't even remember ANY other show where all of us agreed on it's watchability. Castle and his daughter have one of the healthier...

I'm with Arnwyn on this one. Sylar *was* a good villain. He was creepy, he had an agenda, and he was making progress. Now he's a walking smorgasboard of powers, functionally unstoppable -- especially with Peter's power vastly reduced and Hiro getting nosebleeds. If they wanted to bring...

I have to admit, I like the attitude of Nargamon. He's got to be at his wits end, barely protecting his city and KNOWING it will soon fall... and here come these PCs to complicate things. Great to see this story hour contine, EternalNewbie. I love your characterizations and description.

First off, I don't think Ice-Woman is dead. (At this point, i can't be bothered to keep all of Ali Larter's characters seperate anymore. :)) I think her power will eventually be shown to be some kind of limited control of *water* not heat directly. So when she's in contact with someone, she...

Although I notice that he was careful not to say WHO the new chancellor of the magical academy actually ended up being... That's just mean. :) Awesome update, though.

Honestly, I wondered about that myself. Apparently, soul-splicing doesn't allow reasoned tactics... There's got to be an epic-level version of a Dexterity-draining necromancy available in there somewhere! ;) Realistically, though, I expect to see the dragon horribly hurt after that volley...

I would say they either come from the Imperial Engineering College (at Nuln, Dragon... magic is in Altdorf. :)) or from the dwarves. After all, the College of Engineers has made steam-tanks, so why not a mechanical man? For stats, I would make them similar to humans -- neutral -- but the...

Honestly, until the "Viktor" reveal, I thought that was the POINT -- provide a doll with the appropriate fabricated background, find (or fake) a way to get him assigned to the case by being lousy at his job, then have him completely fail to make progress and be terrible at his job. Not to...

It's alive! :) Good to see a new post -- I was beginning to think Khalid was lost to the sands of time.

Personally, I'm wondering if the big "gotcha" of this series is going to be that the FBI agent and Alpha are the same person. I don't know why, but I got the vibe that Alpha is the former doll with incredibly violent tendencies and all kinds of training, while the FBI agent is the "normal"...

We were playing an Eberron game, with all the PCs aboard an airship carrying some nobility. The airship was attacked by men on griffon-back, who landed and immediately began killing the soldiers aboard. The druid -- nevermind that we're on a fast-flying airship -- casts Obscuring Mist. The GM...

I'm just starting a new campaign with a group who have played nothing but D&D before. We're heading towards the "Enemy Within" campaign, which I love. Sure, it's got a few warts, but it's still one of the greatest module-series I have ever read/run/played in. Anyway, my players had some crazy...
