    DMs: Monster Minis in your game

    I buy commons and uncommons I need, if reasonably priced, from various Internet sites which sell individual D&D minis. Some specific minis I couldn't find that way I bought on Ebay.

    overland travel

    Depends on your game. If the travel is just an interlude to get to the next stage of the adventure or the start of a new adventure, then pre-arrange some small encounters -- either combat or role-playing -- handwave the rest, and get the PCs to their destination quickly. But if the group is...

    Which campaing would you like to play in?

    I was just trying to explain my original choice. In the original description of the Glory Road campaign, no stipulation was made that uberpowered munchkin wet dreams would be excluded. It said all options were on. So I wouldn't want to play in that sort of campaign. I'm not afraid of the...

    Which campaing would you like to play in?

    I don't mind playing a D&D game with options beyond the Core books. I have played in and DMed in sevearl. I would mind playing in a game in which all options are open, which I take to mean (which might not be a valid interpretation for anyone else but me) that even future options will be...

    Hollywood just doesn't get it

    Now you are the one who seems to be extremely uninformed. In Hollywood, a "name" director (and Michael Bay, for better or for worse, is a "name" director) has much greater influence over what ends up in the final product than the writer does. The writer does the original script, yes, but if the...

    Hollywood just doesn't get it

    No, he's not making it up. That's the way Hollywood works. Because of the success, both at the box office and at the Oscars, of the musical Chicago, studios are now willing to greenlight other movie musicals. Rent was not just a matter of time. It had been stuck in Hollywood limbo ever since...

    Which campaing would you like to play in?

    I like Traveller, but not mercenary campaign's. I'm with Morte -- if it was Traveller spies, I'd be all over it. Glory Road would be fun except for the all options turned on. I think that could get out of hand real quick. On the other hand, I think the Broken Circle might be a little too...

    Firefly-help me out

    I don't know if this really qualifies as a spoiler or not, but if you want to go into the Serenity movie with absolutely NO knowledge about it, then stop reading this. *POSSIBLE SPOILER* Hope that clears up any confusion. Edit: Yes, I have seen the movie.

    Very odd experience - War of the Worlds

    I own this on vinyl as well. Haven't listened to it in years, but when I was in college (shortly after it came out), we would play it every year on Halloween night at the record store where I worked. And yes, they are making an animated version of this.

    Hollywood just doesn't get it

    Ummm, no they didn't. Critics in the '70s pretty muched geeked all over themselves when Star Wars came out. They did the same thing for FotR. FotR was one of the best-reviewed movies of that year. I also think good critics help steer audiences to good non-traditional movies, like Passion of...

    Firefly - I just don't get it

    I wasn't a big fan of Buffy and Angel, but everything else in your post is about the same way I felt. I watched some of the first few episodes, and felt the show was OK, but I was hoping for better. But it was better than most shows on broadcast TV. Then with "Out of Gas," the series started...

    Horse nomads

    Oh, I can't believe I forgot all about Robert Adams' "Horseclans" series of books. The link We were going to create a D&D world based on this once, but never got around to it. There is a GURPs supplement: The link Might not be what you're looking for, since it is a post-apocalypse setting...

    Preseason Colts Game During Gencon

    Wait until the game starts, then go eat. The fans will be at the game by then, and the restaurants will not be crowded. Yes, during last year's GenCon the Jets played the Colts, and the Jets couldn't book any hotel rooms near the Dome. They were whining about it, and ESPN even mentioned it...

    Official Nostalgia Thread (thread necromancy)

    There were thieves, and they didn't sneak attack you -- they stabbed you in the freakin' back! And assassins didn't need spells to take you down -- they just had to study your @ss.

    Which class would YOU step into?

    Of those choices, it would have to be mage. I have the memory and interest in the esoteric for it. I'm pretty sneaking and good with my hands, but I'm a little big to be a thief. Not in good enough physical shape to be a warrior. Not interested in being a cleric.

    Whole lotta lurkin' goin' on

    Glad to see so many people are taking the opportunity to post. The more input, the better the discussion, IMHO. Damn, I'm getting really close to 2,000 posts.

    Traveller T20: Tales of the Bray Keaven [Updated 12-20-05]

    Thanks. You'll like Gateway to Destiny. It's got lots of good stuff in it. All in all, a pretty good setting book.
