Thanks for the pointer, Old One. I picked up a copy for myself, as my campaign moves closer and closer to inevitable wars. Looks really good, Wulf, if you're reading.

Quick, someone check Thorod's name for anagrams! Make sure he's not Monte Cook or Tad Williams in disguise! :eek: Seriously, welcome to the fold Thorod. I'm eager to see how the stories and judgements pan out.

Just like Hand of Evil, we played a lot of Warhammer after feeling dissatisfied with 2nd ed. D&D. The gritty adventures were great, as were the villiains. I personally loved all of the variations of the hordes of chaos. And heck, the Skaven were so cool, you can look and see spin-offs such as...

With this campaign, I've noticed that I've gone to rolling the dice in the open. It doesn't matter as much because the players aren't the type to watch my rolls like a hawk, and it increases the tension on those rare moments when I'm rolling well for the bad guys (like the maxed critical from...

A bump for goodness! And for those who are a bit punchy after staying up late into the night, working on entries!

Yeah, I mis-represented on the last poll. I figured it was hefty sum, somewhere under $150. Then I remember the acquisitions made at Origins, and all of those Exalted hardback books I bought. And some Vampire materials for my GF. At least most of the Scarred Lands purchases had dried up last...

I have this vague memory of years past, stopping by at a house where the 'older group' of D&D players were playing (they were three to four years older than me). We were crashing the party because they had the house free. Asked what they were doing in game, and they said 'we just killed...

I'm a new recruit into the addiction known as WoW. And much as I did with City of Heroes, I'm having alt-itis. This one isn't as bad, as I want to experience all of the cool quests for the characters. Still, I'm rotating between three: a Night Elf Druid, a Dwarven Priest, and my favorite, an...

As an aside, I'll note that I chose to begin my World of Warcraft addiction in the time between the original contest and this one. I'm really proud to say that I put down the game for a while and churned this story out. I say that, looking at the time stamp, dreading the morning to come... Oh...

Hey Crothy, thanks for the review! Got a question you might could answer (or anyone more involved with the book). I'm looking to set up a racial level system much like AU has for its races as does Unearthed Arcana. The races section in the Advanced Players Manual, does it provide points values...

I'm just thinking that terrorists should have learned by now: Don't try to pull off any plans in L.A.!! Go to Texas or somewhere safer where there is no CTU office...

Wow, yeah these rounds do go quickly. I just wanted to chime in and give a shout out to Frailty. Come on, people, Bill Paxton! It's a good flick, go out and rent it when you have the chance. 3-20 1. Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 2. Galaxy Quest 3. Close Encounters of the Third...

Yeah, even games such as City of Heroes let you customize your character's face with the Soulpatch. Heh. Gotta say, both me and the GF threw our arms up in the air when Tony appeared. "YES!!" I'd say he was one of my favorite characters from the show, but then again I like a lot of 'em. I'm...

Well, I'm putting the finishing touches on Tad Williams Otherland: River of Blue Flame. So this month I'll be starting book three of the series, Mountain of Black Glass. Also, I recently acquired Into the Darkness by Harry Turtledove. I'm presuming if he's gotten this many books out, the man...

Well might as well toss in my opinions: ROUND 2-20 Delicatessen (1991) vs. Brazil (1985) City of Lost Children (1995) vs. Peter Pan (2003) Twelve Monkeys (1995) vs. Donnie Darko (2001) Gattaca (1997) vs. Metropolis (1927) Dark Star (1974) vs. Shaun of the Dead (2004) Videodrome (1983) vs...

Pics received. Best of luck, Macbeth!

Just checking in. Probably won't be able to do anything tonight, but tomorrow morning and onwards should be fine.

I'm really hoping nothing happens, but given the way our area was paralyzed last week, I thought I'd share the current forecast for tomorrow (from weather.com): A mix of clouds and sun in the morning will give way to cloudy skies and wintry precipitation during the afternoon. High 39F. Winds...

Common courtesy and respect cover most of the situations for my group. The only rule we've had to institute, or rather clarify, is the attendance policy. Not for how often you miss games or anything like that. It's more along the lines of will the game still go on if this many people are absent...

I still trip out seeing William Devane in the show. I mean, come on, that's Gary from Knots Landing. He wouldn't know how to shoot people... :D
