One of our players is still carrying around the special plant fertilizer we found in the first Adventure Path module.

That's a sign of being a good Ref -- adaptability, and not being afraid to yoink a good idea, no matter what the source is.

Actually, I believe most of our player swaps have occurred during adventures. The only ones I remember being between adventures were the ones that just happened in the story hour, when Morte took over Vasilii and George took over Vargas. Aidan was a new player add with a new character, and...

I played a Firefly scenario at Gen Con last year that used the Cyberpunk 2020 rules set. None of the characters had any cybernetics, but the basic game and combat system were used, and it worked pretty well. Of course, we were having so much fun just roleplaying the characters (we were playing...

If she enjoys playing games, I don't really see the problem. She can find plenty of games to play during the times you two aren't doing something together. I suggest picking one thing to do together each day, and then pick some things to do seperately. I went to my first GenCon last summer...

A couple of things I've noticed in revisiting game events in compiling this story hour. First, major plot developments often grow out of what were seemingly minor events. The hunt for Ian's weapon permit is a good example. What started out -- at least for the PCs -- as a minor side adventure...

You also have to remember that the Stronghold Builder's Guide is for that -- building strongholds. The structure you came up with using the book is probably a lot more secure than a normal house of the same size and with the same features. The stronghold probably has walls of stone, while a...

Yeah, I like to do this, too. One of the female gamers in our group is very afraid of spiders. So giant spiders are always attacking her characters.

I always have said it would have been better if Carter had made The X-Files movie a stand-alone story (like a monster-of-the-week episode) rather than try to tie in with all the series' mythology. Let's hope he learned his lesson and doesn't make the same mistake with the second movie.

If they keep this up, the movie's spoilers are going to become common knowledge. So they won't be spoilers any more, but everyone will already know everything that is going to happen when they go to see the movie in Sept.

Chapter I Date: 202-993 Location: Aboard the Bray Keaven, inside the Stork & Sons repair yards, on Fonnein Orbital After the repairs, refit, and upgrades are complete, the crew of the Bray Keaven meets for breakfast and to decide what to do next. The ship needs to vacate the Stork & Sons...

Prologue Date: 175-993 to 202-993 Location: Aboard the Bray Keaven, inside the Stork & Sons repair yards, and on Fonnein Orbital Over the course of the month it takes to complete the repair, refit, and upgrade of the Bray Keaven, the crew of the far trader and Aidan generally split up to...

I live an hour north of Austin, but I drive to Austin frequently, especially on the weekend. I would be interested, depending on the time and date.

The entire series is available on DVD. I highly recommend you buy, borrow or rent it and watch it. Then when the movie comes out on Sept. 30, you will be up to speed and ready to go.

Some people on an earlier thread had expressed concern about the movie losing one of the TV's little "trademarks" -- no sound in space. There was even a quote posted from Joss saying that was one of the things he had been happy to "give in to" with the studio in order to get the movie made...

Another thing I was curious about -- I saw someone in the crowd wearing an event-specific Serenity T-shirt for the screenings. Where did he get it? They weren't selling them at the screening or handing them out? Is there someplace online where they can be bought?

Well I had a good night Thursday. I went to Austin. Found gas for $2.01 a gallon. Discovered Jack-in-the-Box has a new Blueberries and Cream shake; it was pretty tasty. Let's see. What else did I do? Oh yeah. I got to see Serenity, the BEST FREAKIN' MOVIE OF THE YEAR! Book and Mal were at...

Yes, I've bought items like that in the past and probably would again in the future.

Yeah, we made our bed and didn't even get to sleep in it. That's what we get for following a Noble git. ;)

"I cast Magic Missle at the darkness." (Sorry, couldn't resist) Sometimes reality helps scare the players caught up in the fantasy. Once I ran a campaign in which the PCs were trying to track down the cells of a forbidden murder cult. Most of these cells were hidden out in the wilderness...
