Hawk The Slayer?

That's just deranged. He's at fault because he didn't actually use them...? I'm willing to lay odds that most of us have read all of those authors, plus manymany more. What about Burroughs? Gardner Fox? Leigh Brackett? Peter S. Beagle? Michael Moorcock? Elizabeth Moon? Shakespeare? Tanith...

Break 'em onna rack or burn 'em at the stake, but blacklist? Sweet Lord, NO!

I might consider buying them if 1) I could be assured of getting only what I want (screw this randomizing crap), 2) they were of higher quality than most of the ones that I've seen (although I've been known to buy cheap plastic toys like dinosaurs and zoo animals to use in D&D) and 3) they were...

Hell yeah I do voices! That's half the fun! I ran the old "Dancing Hut" module from Dragon and did an impression of Vikki Lawrence's Old Gypsy Lady for Baba Yaga; I have a whole raft of Gaelic-esque PCs (for whom I do bad Scottish/Irish accents -- though if I'm not careful with it and get...

While that's true, there are lots of animes where Western swords are used instead of Japanese blades and they're pretty uber, as well. Plus we get to see katanas and Westernized blades get broken with a fair amount of frequency in anime. It's worth noting that in that elderly anime, Lupin III...

Hmmm, I think that you'd get an ancestor of Ogrek The Undisciplined. As for elves & ogres not mixing, the old Dragon article series Voyages of the Princess Ark detailed an elf-ogre crossbreed race, so there's precedent that isn't a bloody joke. There's always Mongrelfolk, right?

Dude! Katanas are finesseable, they ignore hardness below 50, do 5d30, x10 critical and crit on anything over a 9 (cutting through I-beams & engine-blocks like they're made of tissue-paper) and deflect energy-blasts, bullets & meteors! They're excellent for when you want to flip out and...

Those are all loverly definitions, and junk, but I think that the present-day definition of "troll", given the frequency that the word it tossed about on the Intarweb, should be "Person who posted someting that I (the Generic I, i.e, The Perceiver) don't like".

Fare thee well, Angelsboi.

Is that the one before or after Sylvester McCoy?

4d6, drop lowest, arrange as desired. Works well enough to have suited me and mine for over 20 years.

Damn. I didn't think that deities could get strokes. :eek: :uhoh: Get well ASAP, O Lord. :heh:

So this is what it sounds like when doves cry!

When I think "gnome", I mostly picture Engywook and Urgl from The Neverending Story or Miracle Max and Valerie from Princess Bride. Gnomes as magicians (illusionist or bard), tricksters and tinkerers (but not incompetent DL tinkerers) I like lots; I'm not as keen on the...

While the DM has the final say as to what goes in his campaign (no templates? Cool, they're supposed to be, IIRC, a DM tool anyway, and psionics aren't Core; no big), I frankly would refuse to play in a game where the DM tried to micromanage the sex of my characters unless the circumstances were...

"Let"? I'n at a loss as to how and why one would stop them.

Rawk! I knew that waiting to pick up some of this crap would pay off! 3e books at 1e prices! Yeah, Baby!

Desperately Regret: Epic Level Handbook -- it is runny monkey-crap between two covers. Sorta Regret: Psionics Handbook -- I'm thrashing out a hybrid of the 2e-3e Psi-point mechanics cos the 3e rules bug me.. Sorta Like: D20 Modern -- not fond of the unarmed HTH rules and dubious about the...

You want tabletop RPGs to go down in popularity...?
