Conan sniffs... Conan folds his arms under his breas...I mean pecs... Conan tugs at his braided hair... Conan gives a wry smile... ARRRHGGGGGGGG! NO CONAN WITHOUT JOHN MILIUS!

Best: Birthright, with honorable mentions to both Planescape and Scarred Lands Worst: Forgotten Realms. As someone said, it's like you're an intruder at someone else's gig. (Dis)Honorable mention: Greyhawk. I tried, I really did. But I could not inject any life into that puppy.

Spoilers ahoy! / / / / / / / Yeah, that Stannis is a monster, the way he saved the Night Watch and all. Oh, and then there's that irritating part about him actually BEING the true king of Westeros. That's neither here nor there, but I'd be a little surly if an incestuously born...

But even that may, perhaps, have been done to a greater good. Many have surmised that Jon is really Ned's sister Lyanna's child, begotten from Rhaegar Targaryan. Her "promise" to Ned may have been to never tell of his true origin, which would have lead Robert or any future king to find the boy...

What's up buddy! As Snoweel says, you've got mail! Glad it wasn't something REALLY bad, I was beginning to fear that something had happened. Did you lose any of the work you were doing for Natural 20 or Mongoose when it crashed?

To each their own, I guess. The guy is free to do what he wants when he runs the game, I'm just telling what worked out good for us. As I said, when I brought it up to him, Ken thought it was a pretty good idea. That was enough for me.

If memory serves, there's a clunky mechanic meant to replace the sneak attack under G&G. Rather than clutter up the game with it and emasculate the rogue class, we used the "odds are one" system for sneaks. It worked pretty smooth and balanced, as far as we could judge.

One of the major drawbacks of the system is the amount of work the DM has to do when converting normal D20 monsters/NPC's to Ken's system. You have to do some homework. If you keep the opponents to comparable NPC's and leave the huge monsters few and far between, the players are actually at an...

The lady who cuts my hair is best friends with Sharon Stone's sister - the stones are from around where I live. Whenever she goes out to Cali to see Sharon's sister, she has a bunch of pics with Sharon, too.

Mistwell: If what people are speculating is correct about Jon's heritage, then he will be playing a MUCH bigger role in the coming books of the series. So, too, with Dany. Thanks, KnowTheToe :)

My mother met Stevie Nicks in a bathroom in Sarasota Florida in the eighties. In fact, I think she was lamenting about not having make-up or something (probably because she just did a kilo of coke or something like that), and my mom gave her an extra compact. By all accounts, Ms. Nicks was...

I am rereading the series now, and if it's possible, I'm enjoying them even better the second time around. Although I find myself getting sick in the stomach as I approach the part of the book where Spoiler... / / / / / / / / / / / / / Ned is imprisoned in the dungeons below the red keep...

Well, I keep most of my stuff either portable (as in the case of Dwarven Forge, or destructible, in the case of the cardstock creations. Thing is, I have a fishing box full of furniture, stairs, doorways, pillars, plastic horses (the kind you find in $1.00 bags in the toy departments of stores)...

That sums up my style exactly. Nothing like a chessex megamat to cover the table and lots of scenery. I use DF or some of the cardstock vendor creations, some of which are very nice - especially this guy's stuff: http://www.worldworksgames.com/ Or there's always Microtactix...

Definitely inspired by deadlands and adapted to D20 use. Some other folks use those polished stones instead of chips, but whatever is used, using the old "carrot and stick" system really does work. I couldn't imagine playing without it, now. It's not only for roleplaying, too. I give chips out...

I use a "chip" system in which I give my players painted poker chips for roleplaying a scene well. Then, they are allowed to either cash them in at a rate of 25xp * level per chip, or hold onto them to help out with dice rolls. For example, giving 2 chips gives you a +2 on any roll, 6 chips turn...

I thought he was out of gaming for good? Are we talking about former Dragon editor Roger Moore? For some reason, I remember someone saying that sometime last year or something. He sold all his stuff and is out of gaming.

What are your feelings on this. Apparently the May issue of Dragon is going to be devoted to Martin's ASoI&F series. It's nice to see that it will be getting roleplaying treatment, and D20 to boot, yet I was hoping for an entire sourcebook with support. I imagine it'll be similar to the...

Beorn could easily be cut as it was in the cartoon. 3hr movie extended to 3 1/2 on DVD.

Amazing work, Kip. Bless you for the work you are doing for the community in this thread. :) I won't even be upset if you can't get to it, but there is an important NPC I would love to have a picture of for my 6+ year Birthright campaign. His name is Adam Bannier II, and he is the Emperor of...
