    GENESIS I & II--Terra Nova #1 & 2/Season I 2011

    At the risk of taking it off topic --- series? really? gonna have to check that out ...I read what I guess was the first book and enjoyed it very much. Wasn't Steven Barnes one of the co=authors as well?

    I do want 5E (and 6E, and 7E...)

    The problem here is who decides which edition becomes the "classic" edition? You? Me? Do they hold some sort of poll? It really is a no win scenario as no matter which older edition is picked to support they are going to alienate a great many gamers. I am not trying to antagonize you and I...

    The Dying Skyseer - release date?

    Thanks for the quick response. I do hope that you did not take my queries as any attempt to express displeasure or point fingers. I am more than satisfied with the campaign path so far and I am willing to wait a bit longer to get a good product. As an owner/operator of a small business myself...

    The Dying Skyseer - release date?

    According to the Campaign Guide for Zeitgeist "The Dying Skyseer" is slated for a September release. I realize that September is not over and I also realize that these were estimated dates but I was wondering if there was any tighter schedule that could be given. Thanks in advance for any...

    I do want 5E (and 6E, and 7E...)

    I couldn't agree more. I have played everything from the OD&D on down and I see no reason to stop buyin' and tryin' with 4E. I too will buy 5E and 6E etc.

    Upset over incompatible gaming styles?

    You aren't trying to say that there are socially challenged people in the gaming community are you? Perish the thought.

    Fantasy Book suggestions

    I'm gonna jump in here and agree wholeheartedly. Great read -- flowed along nicely. I had a hard time putting it down.

    Where are you buying Mordenkainen's Magnificient Emporium?

    If I buy it I will buy it from the local gaming store. If I am going to buy an actual hardcopy I always buy my stuff from there. There are several reasons. Number one the owner is a friend and I want to support him. Number two I want to there to be a local gaming store so I would support the...

    What're You Reading for September?

    I have read everything that is out so far in this series and have enjoyed it. The Dies the Fire trilogy was very good. There are now 4 books out in the sequel series which are also good (although I enjoyed the original trilogy the most). There is also another series which is associated with...

    Do you have a "small superpower"?

    so for those of you for whom sensors don't work - -- Are you lucky enough that the various seasonal decorations that are motion activated don't work for you?

    Operation: Power Level Gary

    I hope you don't mind but I am going to steal what should be the new rallying cry. Everytime I give XP ---- it will be "Gary Up" You may have started something here.

    Bad DMs/GMs

    I completely agree with the fact that it is often a clash of styles. In fact very often if you have played in one group for a long time and switch to another it takes some time to get used to the way things are done in the new group. I would also agree that the DMNPC can be a issue, but to me...

    Superhero Systems Needed

    I am going to echo a lot of the support for Mutants and Masterminds. Turned out to play a lot better than I expected. (cann't speak to 3rd edition as I haven't tried it yet but earlier editions were good). Champions is a lot of fun but you better be a crunchy bits kinda player. Also it may...

    Bad DMs/GMs

    While I would imagine 5 minutes was a bit much -- there is probably a pretty good chance that if the first part of the description had been "There's a large black dragon sitting in the middle of the room." The rest of the description might as well have been "blah, blah, blah" as panic ensued...

    Killing a character through roleplaying

    I have had characters die because it was the right thing to do if that is what you are talking about. In fact I'm pretty sure that my 14th Lvl Ranger is about to do just that next session. I intend to make it glorious.

    Killing a character through roleplaying

    I can't speak to the specifics of your particular campaign but for myself I enjoy knowing that there is a very real possibility that the challenge before me is more than I can handle. I like to know that sometime the only way to live is to run or hide.

    Traveling through Vancouver/Victoria Island Canada

    I spent two weeks on Vancouver Island last summer and there is a lot to do. I would suggest Tourism British Columbia | Official Travel Website of BC Canada as a great place to start looking at attractions throughout the province of B.C. Some things that I would suggest would be some ocean...

    What is the best Schtick you've ever...

    just remembered my favourite NPC who had a bit of a schtick. This NPC has appeared in every Shadowrun campaign I have run and he/she is alsways popular with the players. This individual is always a contact of one of the players and while the details of the contact may vary one thing is always...

    What is the best Schtick you've ever...

    My current character is a big heads on spikes kinda guy. If an enemy (and it has to be an enemy not just an opponent) is defeated I leave a message for anyone who comes by. In our current campiagn there is (in my characters mind) a huge problem with slavers and that is not to be tolerated. He...
