    Round 17 IS OVER

    Weapon finesse. I'm usually the guy playing the fighter with the frilly shirt and the rapier, but I'm not one to try and convince myself that it's the optimal choice to be playing.

    One cool place from your campaign

    The ghost city of the kel'at. Located deep in the heart of a frozen, devestated continent that's barely touched by modern civilisation. It's a ruined city, complete with the ghosts of a long-dead jungle creeping over the broken buildings and the ghosts of long-dead monkeys playing among the...

    WotC's Head to head monster match! Vote for your favorite!

    You know, if Meepo doesn't win this thing overal, I may have to reconsider my opinion of gamers.

    How do you like your orcs?

    3e orcs, largely because the role of the LotR orc is taken up by the hobgoblin in my campaign. That, and I like falchions.

    What's in your pack?

    I'm a collector of wierd stuff when I'm a player, so my backpacks tend to be filled with mescellaneous debris that was largely included as scene filler by the GM. Very occasionally they come in useful, mostly they're just there to serve as reminders of what came before should the PC last that...

    Kobold nicknames for Lizardfolk?

    Thunderfeet - Lizardfolk aren't as stealthy as kobolds on land. Throwbacks - Lizardfolk are just dumber, bigger kobolds, kind of like the neanderthal

    Firearms and the Campaign

    That's a hard question to answer, largely because it'll depend highly on a bunch of variables related to your suspension of disbelief and desire for realism in your game. I've included pistols and firearms in most of the games I've run in 3e thus far, essentially setting them up as a more...

    Temporal railroading.

    I've done this kind of thing when it's appropriate to genre (go Feng Shui/Buffy RPG), but I'll always tell players that they can't actually stop the bad guy from leaving (so they don't focus on it) and that there is something they can do that will stuff his plans down the line (so they aren't...

    Do you trust the people you game with?

    Sure, absolutely. And even if I didn't, I really don't care if they're cheating on their die rolls as long as it doesn't impact on anyone elses fun. As a general rule, someone fudging a roll to do something spectacular on a night when the dice hasn't been their friend is okay by me - heck, I'd...

    Looking for a t shirt

    From memory they were originally put together by Doc Midnight and available for sale through a Cafe Press store. Of course, I'm also extremely tired and my memory is unreliable at the best of times...

    What RPGObjects Book Should I Get?

    Blood and Fists rocks my world.

    How well do you have to know a game to run it?

    Enough to understand how the genre works, as represented by the games rules and the games story elements. I'm spending this weekend running Ronin Arts Vs. Monsters at a Convention, which means I'll be playing it about a half-dozen times all told. I'm probably going to make a dozen rules...

    Blood and Spooks for Just Four Bucks!

    Damn you and your insidious advertising techniques. Suckered me into this, and the copy of Blood and Fists I clicked on accidently while looking for the right coupon. Lucky Blood and Brains wasn't included, or my spending instinct would have kicked into high gear...

    The Hand Wave

    Pointless combats that are hopelessly one-sided in favor of the PC's Any combat where the players come up with a viable plan that should wipe out the opposition without any real threat. Stuff the players come up with that's just far to cool to fail because they blew a die roll. Those tend to...

    How do you organize spells and feats?

    Alphabetically, with lots of cross checking.
