As a friend of mine and I were discussing last week, Spartacus is a very, very rare show. It's primarily based (and advertised) on sex and violence. If you took the sex away and massively toned down the violence -- it would be silly to have a Gladiator-based show with NONE, heh -- it would...

Yeah, no one I know falls into that group. I wanted to like SG:U. I watched it through the mid-season hiatus of season 2, more out of a sense of habit than anything else. I guess I just kept waiting for it to get 'good'. I think the biggest thing that drove me nuts is that some of the...

And that's *one way* to play a monk. You seem to take it as a core concept that monks must be built around survivability. It's not the case. There are other ways to build a monk that will contribute as much (or in some cases, more) to a party. With the same ability set, you could make an...

I haven't caught up to current, but I'm really enjoying this story hour. I like the writing style and the characters are fun. Just wanted to chime in with encouragement, since I'd like to see this story hour continue! :)

The party has upset someone with some decent summoning/binding capability. The idea is to make a chaotic battlefield in the bottom of her gambling boat. I already have ideas for the rest of the boat, but the whole thing is supposed to be a trap for them -- it has out-lived it's usefulness at...

The "Mass Effect" game series is extremely good and well considered in this respect as well. It's not really part of the game -- since there are never space combats outside of cut-scenes -- but if you read the information in the Codex on weapons, armor, and shields, it's amazingly well done...

I think Dwarves make good monks. Although, for flavor, I prefer the Monk of the Sacred Mountain replacement features. :) I have to say, though, that I completely disagree with you on how to build a monk. I've never understood the "Defensive Monk" mentality, though it's certainly a perfectly...

While I agree that the writers probably hadn't decided he was a Cylon yet, Tigh probably wouldn't have been noticed anyway... He was in the grip of Delirium Tremens anyway, from his alcohol detoxification! Leoben showed the exact same symptoms -- shaking, sweating, disorientation -- that you...

I don't know for sure if this means Skynet is right around the corner, but I can't hear "What is leg?" without immediately hearing "Baby don't hurt me". Then the Haddaway song starts up... :)

One from last Saturday, actually... My Rise of the Runelords game. The players are working on retaking a fort from Ogres. And these aren't your garden-variety ogres, either -- many of them have significant levels and hit like trucks. Two of the players matter to this story -- one a...

Good luck! For my own contribution, from Hook Mountain Massacre, both killed by ogres: Vale Temros -- An NPC, but a spectacular death -- critical hit by Ogre with levels. I think he ended up at -43 or so... Ghoti of the House Garland -- Pushed off a keep wall by one ogre and landed in the...

The movie "Heathers". Subversive teen comedy for the win. Also notable for having some of the darkest comedy this side of the WH-40k universe..

Indeed. And if they're running into foes with access to Horrid Wilting, this may be about to take a turn for the horrific. Yikes.

Okay, I'm going to be playing in a Legacy of Fire campaign so please NO SPOILERS! Now that that's out of the way... I'm going to be the fifth player in a fairly 'iconic' group. We have a Fighter, Cleric of Saranrae (sp?), a Rogue, and a Sorcerer whose bloodline I've forgotten. So I'm...

Amen. 'Oh, I'm going to the special hell...' Even beyond her scrumptuous appearance, the two had such a wonderful Catwoman/Batman vibe set up and I was looking forward to her future appearances. My wife watches Mad Men for a wide variety of reasons, such as plot, characters, and the period...

This has always been my experience with D6 Star Wars as well. *IF* the campaign runs for a very, very long time, then the Jedi will become powerful. Very powerful. Unfortunately for Jedi players, that advancement isn't particularly fast and the loss of stats at character creation makes them...

Really enjoying the generator! Very handy. One quick request: When you do get the APG stuff working, would it be possible to get a filter-option? I know at least one GM I play with that is restricting his game to core-only until he has time to digest the rules... Even a little flag on each...

Other than what was in KOTOR, "I, Jedi", and the five books by Timothy Zahn, I try to forget everything I *learned* about Jedi since the first three movies. ;) <Okay, I'm kidding. But not all that much.>

I think you'll be happy with this decision. Advancement is pretty slow, but WEG had enough time to smooth most of the wrinkles out of their system -- something I think Hasbro never gave WotC enough time to do. You also have a really rich system for adding all kinds of colorful detail to the...

I think it's actually worse than that -- he really shafts Sorcerers since they need high charisma for their DCs *and* need high intelligence to cast their spells. If you have a 10-Int (and I've seen Sorcerers with worse than that) you have a 50-50 shot every time you try and cast a spell...
