    Where did "Munchkin" come from?

    It must be a Northern Indiana thing...

    Giving character magic items

    Well... I have an unwritten rule in which your level dictates the magical enchantment. It (roughly) follows the idea of one advancement for every three levels past level 4. Level 4 = +1 Level 7 = +2 Level 10 = +3 Level 13 = +4 Level 16 = +5 The likelyhood of finding magic weapons of greater...

    Where did "Munchkin" come from?

    A truly horrible and filthy place. It's an industrial wasteland full of refineries and steel mills. Something you'd likely see if they did a movie about Pittsburgh after a nuke fell on the city. I was heading for Chicago with a friend of mine and I asked, "Argh, what is that smell?" He said...

    Where did "Munchkin" come from?

    Gary, Indiana. If you've been there (or have driven through), you'll know why.

    Shadow Government. Just too tasty.

    Getting back to Spycraft. Has anyone actually played a game/scenerio using the system. Should I hold out for d20 Cthulu? It's my impression that the rules may be slightly better and refined since WotC has much deeper pockets than AEG...not that AEG is bad or anything.

    Shadow Government. Just too tasty.

    Yes indeed! It's kind of like starving while standing outside a steakhouse...only being able to smell the food and not eat it. At least I won't be directly selling my soul to WotC for this line of products.

    Beholder (and others) eye rays

    While evil and underhanded as it is, I'm guessing it's legal from the perspective of a "by the book" GM. I personally wouldn't use it since a Beholder is wicked enough without the benefit of meta-magic-ing its attacks.

    Off topic polls are now banned

    Because it's there... The thread should stay on top in perpetua. The fact that it's there is a very good discouragement that bears repeating. I've been pleased with the results it has caused. Keep up the good work Mods! :)

    Shadow Government. Just too tasty.

    Having also checked the CFR, (US Code of Federal Regulations. Sorry, I'm a reference librarian) I concur that there is no such section referring to the prohibition of alien encounters by US citizens. Trailer parks and hermits are once again safe from self-incrimination. :)

    Shadow Government. Just too tasty.

    The media feeds the hysteria, and while I'm all for my First Amendment right to free speech...you have to draw a line somewhere. However, the idea of a shadow government is a cool idea for a game. Argh, does anyone know the official release date of Spycraft?

    [OT] e-bay Auctions

    Hmm, no one seems to want to buy my Battlesystem books. For 3 Bucks, they're a steal...plus, it's helluva lot cheaper than Chainmail.

    Good game stores in Freeport, Bahamas?

    If I were trading in the weather we've had for the past 2 days on the East Coast for warm trade winds, the last thing on my mind would be gaming.

    [OT] e-bay Auctions

    There's a spot where you can opt for either listing the shipping cost or just mark it as "I will provide shipping costs later". This is a good segue into how I ship things. I ONLY ship USPS Priority Mail. It's $3.95 for anything you can cram into one of their cardboard envelopes (a 3e PHB is...

    [OT] e-bay Auctions

    Also, I'd mention that unless you know the exact amount of postage for an auction item, don't list the shipping costs. I learned this the hard way, having to pay an extra $2.50 for an overweight item.

    Time Travel and Language Drift

    One of the few highlights of an otherwise ho-hum at best movie.

    Minatures, who uses them?

    Seeing Thorntangle's work first-hand, I'd also agree with the folks at GW.

    [OT] e-bay Auctions

    Argh! I just sold an UA with some minor dents and dings last week. My digital camera is crapping out on me at the moment, but I can tell you that the PHB is intact, meaning that all the pages and covers are still clinging quite well to the spine. Some areas of the book look like a dog was using...

    [OT] What type of gun are you?

    Gotta love H&K MP-5. Funny enough, that's what I would have said w/o the test. :)
