Tieflings --- just not the lame watered-down 3E version that haunts FR. We still prefer the spiky Planescape berks with variable appearances and abilities.

Astor Piazzollla - Libertango Taima - Taima (extremely listenable; imagine if the Inuit captured Portishead and forced them to record in three languages) The Warsaw Village Band - People's Spring (hardcore Polish folk) (no, really)

I'm actually a bit frustrated how a number of our non-d20 games have gone the wayside as our GMs have hit the d20 trail. Deadlands is one of the few to have survived, and I appreciate its weird mechanics. The d20 version was interesting but did not capture the game's flavour --- mostly due to...

The Perfect Heresy by Stephen O'Shea --- on the causes, events, and repurcussions of the Albigensi crusade. Lots of killings, plus great papal quotes. The Monks of War by Desmond Seward --- on the Medieval fighting orders.

echo... echo... Sorry. Too much Zork. ;) Still waiting for the film to make it to my market. My friends in England also give it a collective thumbs up. One claims it saved his marriage, though he's something of a zombie himself...

Yep, played the lot of 'em, and we used new PCs. In fact, most of us had not even read the DL books before beginning the campaign. There was some youthful confusion as we ended up bringing in characters from other settings --- those miserable drow and so forth. Eventually we retrofitted...

I'm currently running a Known World campaign (which is about 12 years old). I'm playing in Planescape (5 years), Greyhawk (2 years), and Dark Sun (just started, woo hoo, and in all its confused 2nd Edition glory).

Yep. My tiefling and his litter-mates are all descended from Grazz't. Only 81 generations left to go and then we'll put the boots to the grand-sire. The old berk.

Ha! Bad Latin indeed.

Yep --- Planar Handbook, p. 69-70. It's called sectioned armor --- basically, MW full plate from which you can remove plates to sleep/sneak around/etc. It is statted for light, medium, and heavy.

The Ennie award presenter is eminently swoonable.

My players can choose anything that's native to the local area. So, in my Mystara campaign that includes humans, elves, half-elves, dwarves, halflings, and half-orcs. Monsters would be possible but it's never come up. Should someone die while abroad and have to be replaced, well, then the...

Woo hoo, a hundred posts! And I got to say 'bastich'.

Bugger that. They're the militant little bastiches of the fantasy world, like Klingons or Prussians (according to Napoleon, the latter were 'hatched from a cannonball'). I'll start liking elves when they paint themselves blue and start toting about handguns. (er, Shadowrun excluded)

Cool --- this reminds me of three things. 1. A weird Navajo dream sequence our trump artist had (in Amber DRPG). 2. A bout of finger painting that our Planescape party had to go through with a stubborn dabus. 3. Trogdor.

I can't vote twice against the drow, can I? :( Dang fair polls.

So WotC has now confirmed that Wolverine is a gnome barbarian/fighter with the half-troll template. This illustration suggests that Colossus is a goliath fighter with some sort of innate Iron Body spell-like ability. Of course, Nightcrawler is a fuzzy elf... ...and I am a great big gnerd for...

I'll be happy when they come up with a feat to use somebody as a melee weapon...

Didn't I see that back in X-Men #100? :lol: Now I'm picturing Wolverine as a gnome... explains the scent ability.

As an archaeologist, I maintain a stock of 'old-man' beers --- basically, we've gotten used to drinking whatever's cold in country towns. Moosehead, Pilsner (look at the bunnies, George!), Labatts 50, and Standard. (I draw the line at OV.) In the pub, Guinness is my drink of choice... maybe a...
