    Smoke and Strong Whiskey: Some Thoughts On Dwarves

    I would honestly expect dwarves to extensively farm fungus. They have the wastes of their own population to work with... just employ some of your people to tend vast fungal fields with that rich biomass as a raw material. It would stink to high heaven (or low ceiling), but the mushrooms and...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    In addition to thanking you for the story hour, I'd also like to add my appreciation for your work on BioShock. I just recently saw the trailer of the fight against a Big Daddy... and I am really can't express how excited I am to get my hands on that game. :) And on top of that, it's...

    Heroes Season [Volume] 1(#23)---5/21/07-'How to stop an Exploding Man' Season Ending.

    When Ando entered Isaac's loft, he stumbled over something on the floor. Looking down, he saw a lot of blood with no obvious source. Later, Hiro entered the same apartment and stumbled over something on the floor. When Hiro looked down, he saw a lot of blood with no obvious source. We know...

    Fish Stories: What's the best bluff you've ever gotten away with?

    Our party was on the run from the Red Wizards of Thay. They had put a *VERY* substantial reward on our heads and we were constantly being targetted by assassins and other ne'er-do-wells out for the bounty. We set up camp outside a moderate-sized city and were somehow discovered. When the...

    Beguiler Assistance

    I'm going to be starting a Beguiler in a game soon and would love some advice/assistance from those with experience in the class. The game is 36-point buy, PHB races, and you get two 'non-core' books. Obviously, I need the PHB II to get the Beguiler class itself, but I'm still undecided on the...

    Help me refine my evil dudes! My players stay out!

    It seems to me that we have a Psychic Vampire of sorts in the ideas listed here. I really like the distributed network -- somewhere, there is/was a physical entity that gave rise to this psychic entity that is feeding power. Of course, any psychic power is effectively an ordered pattern of...

    What, no Stargate threads?

    All I have to say, in response to the episode that Kesh is describing, is that they really need to have Richard Dean Anderson guest-starring for the rest of the limited run. His interactions with everyone from "Classic SG-1" were so incredibly natural and great. I could just feel all the...

    Heroes Season 1(#19)---4/23/07-'.07%'

    He used them on the rooftop when Mr. Bennet and the Haitian attacked. Claude was hit by the taser, but Peter slowed/stopped time and then used his other powers to get them away safely. He hasn't experimented with them much, but he's got it. And *should* remember it, anyway... :)

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    The Mad Elf has some rogue levels. It isn't until the last of them is exchanged for his old wizard levels that he will perish. The instant he becomes a single-class arcanist... WHUMPH! :) Until then, though, he might have a chance. The three main characters still have destiny to fulfill...

    [Bo9S] Crusader Maneuvers Question

    I'm trying to make sure that I correctly understand how the granted maneuvers of a Crusader work. More specifically, what happens when it is time for them to refresh? The text reads: I just want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly... A 1st-level crusader has his five readied...

    D&D 4E Star Wars Saga Edition as preview of 4e?

    Didn't that kick knock down the Jedi in question? I'd say that was a use of the Improved Trip feat with Maul kicking because the Lightsaber isn't a "Trip" weapon.* I have to say, I'm still mostly a fan of D6 Star Wars, but this Saga Edition has me really insterested in the new mechanics...

    Savage Tide Question (Spoilers Ahoy)

    First off, thanks so much for the feedback. :) Second, if she's still there, why hasn't she wiped out all of the caves by herself? She's certainly capable, even weakened by illness. When I read the article, I assumed the only reason she was still there was because not much time had passed...

    Savage Tide Question (Spoilers Ahoy)

    LAST WARNING: Spoilers ahead for the Savage Tide Adventure Path. As is usual, my party has done something unexpected. :) We're in the middle of the first half of "The Bullywug Gambit". They saw the flash of green light, they've been attacked by mutated monkeys, and they've survived an...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    You're assuming he left... Keep in mind that Valen can go Invisible. Maybe he left. Maybe he didn't. But I wouldn't count them out JUST yet... They're only *mostly* dead. Now if there was an arcanist in the party, it would be a TPK. But there's still a chance for one or two of them to...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    He's an arcanist in the story hour. I'll root for him. It means his life-expectancy might be greater than 30 seconds. :) Are arcanists in Camar measured for their funereal shrouds and their apprentice robes at the same time? It would save time...

    Heroes Season 1(#18)---3/05/07-'Parasite' [careful - season 2 spoiler in thread]

    I liked that we finally saw Sylar's own power at work. It's always been the assumption that his power to know how things work is what allows him to steal powers. But there were at least two places in "Parasite" where Sylar was speaking and a ticking-clock sound could be heard. The one that...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    You're not paranoid if they really are out to get you. :) I had the same thought occur to me, Ghostknight. It would be an interesting thread, to weave together our disparate travellers. And I think the Creeper flourishes in quite a few places -- just not Camar, not right now. Those darn...
