Hi All. I've got a decent amount of miniatures, most of the Mage Knight variety. I don't mind toss all of those in a box because they don't represent anything in particular and don't need to be cared for as well. But then one of my players had to go and show me that he could paint well...

Just finished the first book of the series last night. A good, quick read. I won't say I was blown away, but I enjoyed it. And it wasn't a chore to plow through the book like some I've read in the past year. I would have loved to see more of the various Taken that didn't make it through the...

Sorry for the derail it looks that I caused. And yeah, I'm bitter, I hold grudges and bear crosses towards the faceless TV networks. Heck, I'm still bitter with FOX after the premature cancellations of Millennium and Brimstone. So, all in all, did Enterprise seem to maintain a good feeling of...

They will still be known and reviled as the network that canned Farscape in my household. Regardless of the four-episode wrapup, I still can't bring myself to love them. Plus it would be yet another bit of hyprocrisy, as they claimed they wanted to move away from 'starship based drama', and then...

I'm on my third Crown Royal bag of my gaming career. :cool:

My Scarred Lands game has run for 69 sessions over 2.5 years. I keep a spreadsheet for XP, so it's been easy for me to track so far. We play every week (barring RL commitments and weather related problems) for about 3 hrs per session.

Hmm, surprised no one else has chimed in about this show. Man, I love Carnivale. I'm a sucker for HBO shows for the most part, but few have captivated me like this bizarre tale of good and evil. So anyway, about last Sunday's show. AARRGH! I know that the overall direction of the show is...

Heh, me and my GF both were sitting on the couch going 'We have Powell's thumb, we can just cut that off. Or cut Marianne's off'. Old Hacksaw Jack must have desensitized us over the years. :D And yeah, Audrey was starting to get a bit of Kim syndrome there. I have no idea where that one's...

I'm at the same point you are, Banshee. I picked up the first novel a year or two ago on recommendation of a friend. I read the first forty or fifty pages and it didn't grab me. I ended up putting it down in favor of other reads. Just recently, a friend offered to run a campaign in the Black...

You can also get software that lets you keep wikis on your PC. I tooled around with a few for a while. WikidPad was probably my favorite, but I lost desire after typing in a large amount of material (although having my laptop fry was more likely the culprit - now I don't use a PC during games)...

One of the current PCs in my campaign is a halfling Wizard (Illusionist) 5 / Rogue 3 / Arcane Trickster 2. He's definitely enjoying the mix and making the most out of his illusions when possible.

Thanks for posting this. I always loved Undermountain, although never have played in any game with it that lasted more than three sessions.

Good reviews. Thanks to the judges for taking the time to read and review all of these. It's almost a relief not winning so I don't have to take time out of my schedule worrying about this. Best of luck in the next round(s) Macbeth!

I did something similar to my PCs recently. One of the players was absent on maternity leave, so her character stayed behind at a village solving some problems there. When time came for her to return to the table, her character followed the group's path and appeared as normal. Everything was...

I'm glad the question was asked. Usually I have this kneejerk response 'I started playing when I was 11.' But this has always been a guestimate. So why not look on the internet for dates things were released and popular? In 1983 I was 11 yrs old. But that was when the Dungeons and Dragons...

The best advice to a new competitor you gave, BardStephenFox, was to go to an old post of yours and edit it, pasting in your story, working out your links, etc. I know that saved me great amounts of hassle. That and the Preview Your Post button.

If you did these rules justice (and I have a strong feeling you have), you'll be my hero. I love chase scenes, but the rules have always plagued me. For my games, it's always boiled down to the obstacles in the way. If you make your save/ability check to get by it, then you might catch up with...

Yay! Much like Macbeth, I've turned into a chronic refresher. :D

Other than my penchant for 'pretty' dice, I don't have any rituals or superstitions regarding them. But a friend of mine had a humorous one: He would leave the dice with the desired high numbers facing up while the dice were at rest. Occasionally he would tap the dice against the counter, still...

Yeah, she was reporting to Powell, the guy who worked for the company that made the override device and got shot in the end. Very tidy how the bad guys are taking care of loose ends. On another note, you have to wonder what kind of malpractice/lawsuit insurance CTU has. "We are suing the...
