    In a fantasy world filled with magic and miraculous beings, will the religious concepts of the locals be completely different from the human of Earth?

    We tend to separate the natural from the supernatural, but I'm not sure that was as common in the past. And if we're to posit that magic is real, well, it's just another natural force rather than the supernatural.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Vader is a work in progress. I need to let it completely dry before applying the icy Hoth base. Then when that dries, I’ll give some object source lighting another try.

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Fear is the oath to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Darth Vader scares the hell out of me. I mean painting Darth Vader scares the hell out of me because black is not an easy color to paint. A friend of mine asked, "What's so hard about it...

    GURPS Fantasy / Dungeon Fantasy (and beyond)

    I chose GURPS over Champions because my friends were already playing the former. We never really gave Champions a chance because we were so heavily invested in GURPS. GURPS really does a great job at what it set out to do. One thing I loved about the third edition sourcebooks was they always...

    You're right. I think we can all agree the biggest thing missing was a Bruce/Barbara romance. It's what everyone wanted.

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    In my current Greyhawk campaign, a recurring villain threw a bunch of dried plant matter into a campfire and it sent the PCs on a magical quest. As I described the psychedelic scene it was accompanied by Ina-Gata-De-Vita by Iron Butterfly blaring out of my phone. That's how you kick it old school!

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    If you say Gygax three times while looking into a mirror he will appear and run you through Tomb of Horrors.

    TSR Why would anyone WANT to play 1e?

    I think the biggest reason a lot of people don't want to play 1st edition AD&D is the rules. If you can get past that hurdle, it's a really good edition of the game. Who wants to deal with the myriad rules you may or may not use, different point amounts for leveling based on class, THAC0...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Let’s talk about your equipment. Get your mind out of the gutter, I'm talking about painting here. I'm working on Luke Skywalker as he appeared in The Empire Strikes Back and I'm going to try my hand at some fancy object light sourcing to simulate the glow of his saber. You can't see it very...

    I've never heard of Sunshine, so I have to agree with you. Again, I have to agree with you. Having Dr. Manhattan be the threat kind of undermines the whole idea of the Soviet Union and the United States teaming up because there's a greater threat to both from outside. I also think producers...

    Have You Used The X Card Or Seen It Used In Person?

    Communicating with others in a social situation, such as a kid's birthday party since that seems to be a popular choice, asks you to reach into your psyche, grab something you hope is interesting, and introduce it to other people who may or may not be strangers in the hope that you all enjoy...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    An AT-RT for Star Wars Legion. This vehicle was seen in the Clone Wars cartoon but not in any movies. I’m trying to put more effort into bases. Since this vehicle has such a large base, I thought a little creek would look nice.
