    What's so bad about AoO's?

    I think the main problem is that the majority of players are ignorant (uninformed) of what actually constitutes an AaO. I believe it's the DM's job to keep up with the rules and remind players when they trigger an AoO unintentionally. You can't expect EVERYONE to know ALL the rules...that's why...

    CoC gun prices

    http://members.tripod.com/~Slippery_Jim/Firearms-Frames.htm That site's pretty cool, though I doubt any of my super spies will be needing (probably wanting, but not needing) that 20mm anti-tank "rifle" from Hungary. :) I love how they mention all the nuances of trying to make it "compact"...

    CoC gun prices

    Well, we're assuming that the people carrying these weapons are not law-abiding citizens of the UK. :) Here's more info on the illegality of the weapons. http://www.met.police.uk/firearms-enquiries/f_prohb1.htm

    Few will get this, even less will laugh...but: "Hey baby, want a ride in my war machine?"

    CoC gun prices

    G...G....Gunz! For all you gun nuts out there (like me). :) http://www.remtek.com/arms/ Guns aren't cheap, especially if you're looking at getting anything that's imported. Your standard .40cal Glock is going to run you a good USD 600.

    SPYCRAFT: The greatest RPG ever made! The best d20 game ever!

    Yippe-ki-yay... First off, big kudos to those in the shipping dept. at AEG. I ordered my copy of Spycraft last Sunday and received it in the mail yesterday. They didn't even send my order confirmation until late Monday, so that's less than 2 days from California to Maryland (coast-to-coast for...

    D20 Modern - Meters or Feet

    We Stonecutter's feel that everything should be used in the imperial, because who wants to try and convert litres to gallons when you're attempting to guesstimate how much fuel your American car needs while driving through Canada? :)

    WOTC stores

    Qstor, Last Saturday I went to the WotC store in Gaithersburg, they had the 50% off on RPG stuff, but it didn't appear to be closing. I can't vouch for the ones in Columbia and at Pentagon City.

    Gaming in a Modern Setting...How would you go about it?

    I don't see the problem in creating a campaign for a modern setting. With as much real political and social turmoil in this world along with the fictionalized "James Bond world", it's as simple as going on to the BBC website and the world is your oyster. Today's headlines: Bethlehem church...

    My Foundry Order Experience

    No offense, but I would have never waited 6 months to finally demand a refund. If I didn't get a decent answer after the first call to the company (which was a bit sketchy anyway), I would be calling my credit card company the very same day. It's just a game, you're not a patient waiting for a...

    [LotR] Two Towers trailer online

    Works fine for me. Try just www.movie-list.com I know the site is a bit twitchy at times and I'd recommend downloading the trailer as a file as opposed just opening the link.

    [SPYCRAFT]: Mission Budgets?

    Merci! It's really hard running a full game with the Lite rules. I should have the real thing by the end of the week. Question: What is the class modifier based upon?

    [SPYCRAFT]: Mission Budgets?

    Having to wait for the Spycraft rulebook (I think the local gaming stores got like 2 in stock last Friday), I need to know a few things that I'm sure the full rules clearly elaborate. 1) How to you calculate a mission budget? 2) Is there a chart based on the mission color, or is it based on...

    My dice hate me...

    Before the start of each game, a friend of mine goes so far as to say, (dumping his dice out on the table) "Ah, which of you will betray me today?" No that's cynicism. :)

    Scarred Lands: Need Info

    Oh, is that all. I was beginning to think it was something more dire or dangerous. Methinks I should be upping my disguise skill or take maybe a Hat of Disguise in my starting gear (we're beginning at 5th level, 4th for me. Any other suggestions other than keeping a low profile?
