RIFTS? Plenty of mechs in that system, the Na'vi could be natural MDC creatures. Haven't gotten out to see it yet, but if their swords and such are at all effective against the mechs they would be treated as mega damage weapons as well. Yes, I apologize for possibly recommending the...

For those playing along ta home this is page 42 of the DMG. I was looking at this saying "Page 42...Half Elves?" heh. Yes it's early. Happy Holidays.

Also by Al, The Night Santa Went Crazy. The K Foundation (yet another variation of The KLF) had "Que Sera Sera (War is Over if you Want it)", combination of the 2 songs utilizing the Russian Red Choir. 2nd half of So This is Christmas

Businesses typically cover a large portion of an employee's health care each month. As much as we lose each paycheck, the employer loses more. If they fire you on Jan 1st, they still have to pay for January and are out that money. If they fired you in December, they will only be required to...

I don't believe I've actually read the story of Dreams in the Witch House, but there was a movie version of it made. That creeped the heck out of my wife and I. Then again, we had a ~1 year old asleep in the next room. She had to fight not checking on her several times that night.

No harm man. I had just been browsing my books and looking for something to be able to re-read at work when system wouldn't let me test and I re-read the Thrawn trilogy. Now I'm polishing off the later duology about thrawn (Spectre of the Past / Vision of the Future) and I just really enjoy...

I'm glad you can read them and enjoy them. I can't. No idea if it's coincidence or not, but if it is, it's UNSPEAKABLE!! I think Hobo covers pretty well why it starts out well and goes south. We are discussing why an author does or does not evoke feeling and imagery for you. I went ahead...

Hmm..of those I have read the Hobbit and what HPL I could take before "Unspeakable!!" and gables for the millionth time became too much to bear. Oh yeah, and I read some Elric earlier this year. While I understand the language of the times and different approach to science and all that, I...

That's a good thing, b/c none of it was scary in the least. The scariest thing about Lovecraft was how many paragraphs he would devote to describing the gables of a house. I think he was the strongest influence on Robert Jordan really. I mean, he spent whole chapters devoted to Elayne getting...

The butt which we can't actually see (unlike in a lot of fantasy art) b/c it is obscured by her skirt. Yes the skirt is slit high up the sides, but running thru dungeons, that just sounds better as far as unrestricted movement. The breasts are like a full C really, possibly a D. Sorry, that...

Superman outraced the Flash once. Blame Mr Mxyzptlk

Yeah no DS PG. I'm glad the art is still turning up somewhere tho. I like the 4E covers. The 2 adventurer's, weapons ready, warily exploring a dungeon works fine for me. The tie in with the dragon scrying on them from the DMG cover is great too. They have good reason to be wary, a dragon is...

Luckily we have at least 2 here in Louisville. I don't pay much attention to the 1E books as I've had a full set of them for quite awhile now, but I tend to see them on a pretty regular basis there or at one of a couple other stores with used gaming books. My CDs and my gaming books are always...

This was actually done in the Aberrant RPG. Novas started appearing and some of them had ridiculous athletic potential and they quickly took over sports. Why have 9 normal guys running around the track when you can have 6 guys with super speed, 2 guys in flames and 1 human cyclone lined up...

This is about the extent of campaign involvement WotC has in 4E. Put out some initial products, seed some extra stuff from time to time in DDI/Dragon and move on to the next. Keeps them from the problem TSR had of actively supporting too many campaign worlds at once. I believe there has been...

I want my players to feel powerful and have a good time, but also not be too restricted on character creation ideas. I say screw 28 point buy and just give 13 14 15 16 17 18 to them. Yes it makes for a strong party, but that means we can get thru encounters more quickly or I can beef things up...

Apparently TSR didn't consider the other books too important since the original PHB came out in 1977 and the DMG wasn't out till 1978. 2E had all the needed info. 3E and 4E have all the needed info, 4E especially, since magic items are even in the PHB. The PHB has always been what the players...

If someone sells you a box of tools and says "Add my wrench to your game", but you look in the toolbox and find the wrench is bent and the warranty is expired, would you be upset? I know, this will be blasted for not being a food analogy :)

I haven't dug out my old DS books in awhile, but my recollection syncs up with Mark's. At least one other city state was staring a possible revolution in the face, but no city was as close to it as Tyr. Danzauker>I would think it was clear they wanted the campaign to start with Freedom when...

Of course, I know a large number of people who didn't do well with Tolkien, precisely because everything had 8 different names. "Who are they talking about here?" "Oh that is his name in the South" "That's stupid, why can't they just call him by one name". Yes many of us appreciate the...
