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

    Yes, still going strong. I took over as Ref last month to give Ron a much-deserved break and allow him to bring back Darishun as a PC. I have big shoes to fill.

    bards in your world, advice sought

    My understanding has always been that use of spells or skills that affect another characters' freedom of choice never work when it is PC to PC. You can get in a physical fight with another PC, or cast a spell against them that causes damage. But you can't charm them, or use suggestion, or even...

    So when's the movie finished?

    Our local theater does the ads/trivia slideshow thing prior to the movie starting, with music by Movietunes playing on the sound system. When the lights dim, they play only a few trailers, then the movie. I have noticed that for the very last showing of the day, on weekdays, the trailers start...

    9 minute "supertrailer" for Chronicles of Narnia (Now with direct download links)

    OK, I've never read the books. But I'm wondering -- how graphic and realistic is the combat going to be if children are involved? Will characters actually die in the battles, or just defeated? Will the children actually kill things with their swords and arrows, or will it be like Xena? And how...

    Eberron: Voyage of the Golden Dragon?

    "The elementals of the ship are just holding it, just enough to keep it from -- it's burst into flames! And it's crashing, it's crashing -- terrible. Oh, my, get out of the way please. It's burning, bursting into flames, and this is terrible, this is one of the worst catastrophes in the world...

    Cohorts and Followers: What do you or your players use them for?

    They guard and take care of the PCs' main stronghold. Some also patrol the surrounding area to watch for pending attacks by humanoid tribes that live in the area. They also serve as apprentices, and create magic items for the PCs (mainly scrolls and potions). There's been a little romance, too...

    Buying single DDM online--whaddaya think?

    This is the only way I buy D&D minis. I have had only one bad experience -- a single figure I bought on eBay was shipped in an unpadded envelope and the figure got bent at the ankles, so it "stood" at 90 degrees to its base. I've had the best luck with Game Rocket and Auggie's (an eBay store)...

    Evil network?

    I voted Fox because of its long history of screw-ups: Firefly, Millennium, Space: Above and Beyond, etc. I was tempted to vote for SciFi Channel because of those gawd-offal made-for-TV movies they've been showing so much the past year or so.

    D&D Minis: What's missing most?

    I'll offer the same hearty recommendation for Game Rocket. Good prices, reasonable shipping, fast turnaround, and they show up front which minis they have in stock. I've purchased from them on several occassions, and have never been dissatisfied.

    D&D Minis: What's missing most?

    Dryads Nymphs Succubus Gigantic freakin' dragons, dragons so big when you put them on the table even the PCs' minis will say "Holy cr@p! We can't defeat THAT!" Pirates. We have ninjas, we need their natural enemies to balance things out.
