A few change clothes occasionally -- and I really hope the military personnel have more than one set of fatigues. Other than that, maybe Destiny has a washing machine somewhere? :) The thing about shaving to me... Yikes. He was using a blade. They've managed to fully grow plants and...

Yeah, I've got it bad -- a friend pointed this one out to me, despite the fact that it's been here for coming up on a decade. So I read the whole thing over the last week... only to discover that it's not finished. GAH! And given the length of time since the last update, it's unlikely to...

The implantation leading them back to Destiny feels more like dumb luck to me. It's a pretty simple way to track a captive if he escapes -- I'm thinking of hiding somewhere on the ship. Rush getting back to Destiny isn't something you're likely to include in your plans... And Chloe was...

Abducting the people makes a lot of sense to me if we go back to the idea of them having problems with the Ancient language. After humans got aboard, the ship has been slowly improving/changing and they've achieved a very minor level of control. Thus, the aliens know that humans can interact...

Pretty sure this is something of a ret-con. When the stones were first found, it was implied that they were linked completely to one other stone. I think Carter even mentioned that they might work on a quantum entanglement principle. Which would DEFINITELY make them linked only to one other...

Well, if no one else is commenting on the quality and enjoyability, I will. I'm loving your novelized version of the modules. Of course, I really enjoyed the War of the Burning Sky anyway, so that helps. LOVED the inquisitor in the first section and the chaos of the fight just outside the...

In a Warhammer game, we have a Witch Hunter. After several situations where he wanted fire and couldn't make it fast enough, he tried some shopping in the next town. (It should be noted that in Warhammer, alchemically treated wood slivers -- matches -- are common.) So Hanz seeks out an...

Sure they did. The first corpse had been nearly decaptitated -- it couldn't speak. The "old" body was more than willing to point out the real killer once they used Speak with Dead... and revealed that it had been killed by a 'grey man' who suddenly turned into a perfect copy AS IT KILLED HIM...

I used a murder mystery once. They talked to a bunch of people, let them disperse to their rooms while they investigated, then when the players went to confront the "real" killer... Oops! Body number 2! And judging by the stench, he's been here a couple of days. So who did we interrogate...?

One of the wiki pages devoted to ME2 has the numeric listings for the PC version of the game -- some devoted fan pulled them all out of the game files. I doubt they're much different for the console versions of the game. So is Push, or any other power that makes them lose contact with the...

The only sniper rifle that has more than 12 shot capacity does 1/4 the damage per shot... and conveniently holds 48 rounds. The rapid-fire versus single-shot is the argument there. And I can't comment on assault rifles, the only time I used one was on my Normal playthrough, where ammo is...

The 3e version of the game reminds me quite a bit of 4E. Gone are the days of starting as a complete weakling and earning your growth. Characters start with some hair on their chests, so to speak. (This one is debatable, good vs. bad) It is FAR gamier than the earlier versions. There are...

I'm most of the way through my Insanity playthrough and I have a few comments and opinions of my own. I quoted SolitonMan because a lot his opinions mirror my own. On the inventory -- good idea, taken too far. When you have perhaps four weapons in the entire game, it's time to add a tad more...

I think there's only one problem with the game: They took out the MAKO because some people didn't like the controls and added Scanning. The planetary scanning has to be *the* most boring sub-system I have ever come across. Yeah, you can skip most of it if you think you have enough...

Actually, I have. But then again, I'm kind of blessed with good players right now. Also, I was using Warhammer FRPG (2e) at the time, which has a lot of "setting" built into the characters/classes from the instant the character is created. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is another...

DISCLAIMER: I'm going to do my best to keep this edition neutral and I urge everyone else to do the same. Does anyone else find systems with highly defined powers and options to limit creativity? It could be that it's just the people I game with, but that's why I'm here to ask if anyone...

As one of the Warhammer FRP fans, I can speak for myself and my group: We're not going anywhere. I'm going to be checking the game out if I get a chance, but purely for my own curiousity as a system-junkie. There's only one problem with 2e in our humble opinion: It's hard to find the books...

Make sure you sleep with Leliana FIRST. She's a bit of a prude, so it's MUCH harder to do it the other way around. Not to mention that she doesn't get along all that well with Morrigan... As a side note, I love one of the conversations between Morrigan and Alistar. She accuses him of staring...

Bravo, sir. I just had to post how much I agreed with your observation here. :)

I actually find that most players who roll the Rat Catcher as a starting career are convinced by the dog. I once had a player roll Rat Catcher and NOBLE. He chose the Rat Catcher, primarily for the dog. The best part of that little story? When the poor dog died (Chaos Magic) the player's...
