    Tips for running an episodic campaign?

    I suppose this is a chance to pimp our podcast. Radio Free Llael http://freellael.libsyn.com Primarily Iron Kingdoms focused, but the second episode contains information on episodic campaigns in general, and more specifically the one we're running now.

    Beef - WTC price gouging Canadians

    My FLGS tends to just use the American prices, rather than their recommended cost in Canadian dollars.

    Stargate Altantis Season 3 *Discussion Thread* 8/11

    I would have to say the view of Asuras made the episode for me. Just the fact that the ship section of the city was so comparitively small...

    Clerks II

    Office Space was a Mike Judge film, not one of Kevin Smith's.

    Alternate RPG system recommendations sought for Eberron campaign

    May sound odd, but I've had great luck running Eberron one-shots with the Feng Shui system. Not every archetype works with it, but it is fast paced and not very death-centric.

    Dr Who - Army of Ghosts [spoilers likely]

    I think the thing that pleased me the most is that unlike the trailer for Bad Wolf last year, the preview for Army of Ghosts didn't give away the 'big suprise'. Excellent, excellent episode.

    Doctor Who 28 x 11: Fear Her [SPOILERS]

    Clearly in order to prevent this from being cheesy, David Tennant must _actually_ light the torch at the 2012 Olymics... Or would that be more cheesy?

    Doctor Who 28 x 11: Fear Her [SPOILERS]

    Not the best of the series, but I certainly enjoyed it. Here's to next week.

    Doctor Who 28x10 - Love & Monsters

    I think it worked quite well as a one-off. We don't often get to see the Whoniverse from the perspective of anyone outside of the Doctor and his Companions...the only other instances I can think of are the K-9 spinoff, and a one shot Dalek episode in the First Doctor era in which none of the...

    Melee Weapon Mastery and Stacking Bonuses

    Ah, that you for pointing that out. A rather important difference indeed. I suppose I'd gotten used to the idea of more higher level feats requiring a flat fighter level in the PHB II. So under that interpretation of the rules: WF, WS (longsword), MWM (Slashing) would give +3 atk, +4 dmg to...

    Melee Weapon Mastery and Stacking Bonuses

    Sorry if this has been covered before. The Melee Weapon Mastery feat from the PHB II has pre-requisites of Weapon Focus (x), Weapon Specialization (x) and 8th level fighter. Provides a +2 to attack and damage with all weapons that deal the same type of damage as x (slashing, bludgeoning, or...

    Doctor Who S2 ep 8 "The Idiot's Lantern"

    This was episode I very much enjoyed, but I've had a difficult time coming up with any stand-out moment that made it for me. The whole thing was well done.

    Thoughts on Kalamar

    Though some site it as boring, I find Kalamar to be one of the best generic settings out there. I find myself shying away from complete homebrew, but Kalamar gives me good base template that I can add to. I have not run it as much as I'd like to, but when I have, I replaced the pantheon with...

    Here come the Cybermen!

    Overall, I did enjoy this. However, it did not feel like the first episode a two parter so much a the first two acts of a two hour episode, if that makes any sense. All buildup and no payoff.

    Doctor Who 28 x 04: The Girl in the Fireplace [SPOILERS]

    Regarding the Doctor's telepathy... I do recall that during the Three Doctors, and the Five Doctors, his various incarnations were able to use telepathy to exchange information on the situation, and resist the telepathic attacks/control of Omega and Borusa. The Master occasionally showed the...

    Dr Who Xmas special

    I honestly don't mind a lot of Rose. I've been watching much of the classic who for the first time recently, and I find I enjoy it the most when the companions are active participants in what is occuring. I'm not terribly fond of Mickey and Jackie, so when I hear about production and...

    Ghost In The Shell: SAC, Motion Pictures, and more!

    My only advice based on this is to keep watching.
