    Secrets of Xen'drik -- who has it?

    I picked up a copy of this and MMIV during lunch (who needs to eat when there are new books available!) I haven't read much yet, but one thing that can be laid to rest... the thought that the creature in Lake Dark within Karrnath that the Emerald Claw is trying to awaken is NOT the Tarrasque...

    Anybody else here hunt?

    I used to hunt quite a bit, mainly deer, but with the price of a lease in Texas getting progressively worse, I gave it up. My father is still a hunter, and brings me some summer sausage and jerky every season. It was enjoyable, but just too damned pricey out here. Now, I hunt other people on...

    Hurricane preparedness info

    Well I am getting ready to head out of here and drive to a friends place in College Station. It looks like the storm is coming straight at Houston and Galveston now and even as far north as I am, the winds are going to be too crazy to even think about. My boss called me an hour ago and told me...

    Hurricane preparedness info

    Rita looks like she is going to be a fun storm. I talked to a friend that is leaving tomorrow to head north. She said that the hotels are full all the way to Witchita Falls this weekend. I'm just going to bunker down and relax this weekend. Living north of Houston, my only worries are the...

    What would you do... (warning, touchy subject) - Updated

    Okay, after listening to everyone I can honestly say... I did nothing at all other than talk with my friend and pass along suggestions. The daughter's bruises are just about gone, only a slight redness is left. I still can not believe that the police did not do anything. If the bruises are...

    What would you do... (warning, touchy subject) - Updated

    Thanks all for your responses, I have actually calmed down a little, so he is safe for now. My initial reaction is my protective instincts kicking in. I am not usually a violent person, but I was raised to protect those I care about, and these two ladies fall under that category. I talked to...

    What would you do... (warning, touchy subject) - Updated

    This is an extremely touchy subject, so if I offend anyone reading past this point, please forgive me, I am extremely upset at the moment and am not intentionally attempting to offend... I have a very good friend of mine that is a recently divorced mother with a 7 or 8 year-old daughter (can't...

    Well this was scary as hell

    My parents live in the country in SE Texas, and my mother likes to take long walks. We purchased her a cattle prod. Much more effective than a stick, and legal as well. Of course, it does wonders to keep my father in line as well. A side story to the country living thing. The other morning...

    Names of Taverns, Bars, and Inns

    For DnD there has always been The C*ck-eyed Cockatrice. (Remember, Eric's Grandmother) In Cyberpunk, one of the central locations in our game was a topless club just south of downtown Night City called Velvet Dreams. The proprieter, with a handle that Eric's grandmother would not approve of...

    Wounding effects

    I was sitting around the house yesterday watching Gladiator when I realized that there isn't a good system for wounds that become infected without treatment. Now I realize that in DnD, a cleric can just cast a Cure spell and all is well, but what if there isn't a cleric available, or no one...

    Gem based spells, lets see what you can make

    I'llh ave to dig through my old files on my PC and see if I can find the rules I used in my 2nd Edition campaign. All arcane magic was cast with the use of gemstones instead of spell componenets, with specific gem types working with specific schools of magic. The more valuable the gem, the...

    [Ronin Arts] Thank you Mr. Reed

    I just had to say that I am EXTREMELY impressed with the dedication to the customer that Phillip Reed shows. While many companies would just send out notice of an errata on messageboards or their web-sites, Mr. Reed sent notices to everyone who purchased Prestige Secrets, Assassins, that a...

Then I got a binder from my company and bought several 1/4" binding combs to connect the panels. It folds up very...

    Still no overall plot...

    Actually, the correct version of the story is that their Samurai Lord was not used to the politics or behaviours of the Imperial Court, having been raised in the country. While at Court, he managed to be made a fool of by one of the othe Samurai Courtiers. Due to his ignorance and ill grace...
