I try to stay away from anything that leaves a residue on my hands so as to keep nasty fingerprints off my books and papers. However, if wings are bought to the game all caution is thrown to the wind. ;)

Okay so it may not be "Fantasy" but as it is based on a game setting I have to reccomend The Horus Heresy series published by Black Library. Each book is written by a different author and I haven't been able to put any of them down. Right now I am reading "Flight of the Eisenstein" and so far...

My group found out just how dangerous minions can be in the Irontooth engagement in Keep on the Shadowfell. The Dragonshields were getting +1 to hit for each kobold adjacent to their target. If nothing else the minion Kobolds were simply making the Dragonshields hit much more often than they...

Now the Dragon Tiles are more my speed. I might have to pick up a set or two. However, I just picked up Dunjinni which is better for those of us who end up running modules. I'd still like the Dragon Tiles sets for the 3D accessories (namely... doors).

On September 18th I'll be watching Season 4 of Supernatural. :)

Try Sunbelt Software's CounterSpy. You can download a free, fully functioning demo and use it for 15 days. It has found and removed stuff that AdWare, Norton, and McAfee have missed. http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Home-Home-Office/Anti-Spyware/

This is brilliant! I'm going to have to see if my players are willing to do this the next time I am asked to run a horror game for Halloween. :)

I too plan on buying this book in the near future. I think SJG should pay you royalties for any sales that stem from your review. 5 Stars!

If you've read/seen it would you care to share? :)

Both of the previous posts relate to mechanics which relate to scaring the character. What I want to know is how you scare the Players. Destroying Magic Items and Level Drain don't actually invoke fear in the Player (IMHO). Frustration maybe because they have "worked" for the level being...

I love the horror genre but sometimes it can be difficult to actually "Scare" the group. I've actually only participated in one session where any of the players had a genuine fear response. In that game there were only two players (myself included) and the GM who was running Kult. I've come to...

Oh yeah... You mentioned that you didn't like Warcraft 3 because of the micromanagement issues. DOW remedies that to a great extent because you don't need "workers" to gather resources. You build a few powerplants but the bulk of resource gathering is done automatically by capturing...

Dear Lord I do so love Dawn of War! I've been playing it since the beta of the first release and have all of the expansions. Dawn of War and Winter Assault have the usual campaign style game that follows a set storyline. As the campaign progresses you get more and more advanced units. Dark...

The Worldworks stuff is VERY nice but it does take some work and quite a bit of time to get even the smallest dungeon built. I gave up on it as I don't have the time to sit down and build wall section after wall section.

Pirates of course... through sheer kewlness and strength of numbers. This is accomplished through 2 things... babes and booze. 1) I mean come on, Captain Morgan throws parties at the Playboy Mansion. Who wouldn't sign up for his crew for an opportunity like that? 2) Captain Morgan and Calico...

Since the Wizard and Rogue got away we are going to take another stab at it next week. In talking to my players I've come to the conclusion that the 4th Edition Paladin would be absolutely awesome in the fight against Irontooth or any fight where the party is outnumbered. The Paladin's at will...

While I am really enjoying 4E I most fondly look back at the BECMI rules. I pulled out my Basic Set Player's Guide last night and flipped through it. I really miss the simplicity and free form nature of the game. I have no illusions about finding a group willing to play it but I am hanging...

That's funny... Wraith worked FANTASTIC for me. The character creation pretty much demands that a player have a backstory which IME made it extremely easy to run. I also had great success with Mage because unlike the other oWoD games, Mages had no built in prejudices. I ran the game very much...

Unfortunately it did for mine (well, almost... the Eladrin Wizard and Human Rogue got away). I DM'd my groups first 4E session last Saturday Night and I thought we had a pretty well rounded group. We had a Human Fighter, Dwarven Cleric, Tiefling Warlord, Eladrin Wizard, and Human Rogue. The...

Okay... I thought it was awesome just with the Eldar and the Marines but THQ added the last bit to the trailer where the Marine Sergeant has to fight a Tyranid Lictor (of course we all know how that one will turn out). I am so psyched for the new Dawn of War... I think Starcraft 2 might...
