Thanks Thank You, I am also looking for Steampunk stuff. The fiction is great and easy to find. The RPG stuff. Wow, if it is out of print, it is not cheap. The links above are a god-send. Regards, RK

wow Do you think that many "in charge" types would be able to get anything done during a session? But I am going to yoink JJ Abrams as the DM in my group. RK

1 thru 5 1. Stan Lee. I think he would be great and fun to hang out with. I have only seen him with positive energy. 2. Johnny Depp. For the reasons above (and my wife would love it). 3. Jennifer Garner. 4. Ben Afflack. cause he would probably show up with Jennifer G. 5. J.J. Abrams as DM

coke Hi, Shouldn't someone more clever than I, post pictures of Coke, New Coke, Classic Coke, and somesuch? I don't know where to find the pics, and can't figure out which soda would go with which edition. RK

Siege Check I do it close to Treebore. Players can try any combat trick or spell modification listed in the D&D Books, the check modifer is the Level requirement of the feat. So, the higher the level the more they can pull off on a regular basis. Well, this is how I plan to run it, as soon...

This reminds me of a post in a Crappy DM thread here a few years back. A player was complaining because the DM was just doing crazy things and shooting down the players. In particular, I remember said player complaining because his Wizard was levitate very high in the air but was being hit by...

anti-pro balance This thread, and the recently closed Video-gamey thread have been very enlighting for myself. I realize that I want one of the older systems. I have bought up a bunch of basic modules and will soon start DMing a play by post Savage Coast/Isle of Dread campaign. If I can get...

I suspect this is the crux of the issue. What does it take to avoid the problem. I am not looking directly at 3.5 or 4th, so bear with me as I put my thoughts on paper: If the issue is avoided with a Decent DM and Non-douchebag players, it is not a system problem. If the issue requires a...

Honestly, I don't remember, but I think I let them give up the +2 sheild bonus to get the +2 to hit, but I don't think I give them the +1d4 damage option.

shield, 2 weapon Disclaimer, my weapon knowledge comes from LARPing. (which may be about as realistic as D&D). I tinkered with the C&C ruleset on this, cause I thought shields were underpowered and 2 weapon fighting was overpowered. Shields, start at +2, and are easy to magic (very...

Black Company Black Company: The Silver Spike One of the Narrators of Glen Cook’s Silver Spike, is a potato farmer who ran away from home and joined the army. By the end of the book he is back to being a potato farmer, and he won the girl. He was in a world with big bad magic users and weird...

nope Not legit. The closest I got was back in High School (83ish). I was home sick, bored so I started rolling dice. I was rolling percentile. I rolled a 00 and decided to roll up a character. 4d6 drop the lowest, no other re-rolls, but assign as you see fit. Sure enough, one roll was...

I am I am rkwoodard and I 1) based my name off my own name cause I couldn't think of anything better that day. 2) On my first visits here (back in 2001) was shocked that people supported and favored older editions over 3.0. I wanted to make them see the error of their ways 3) Wish I could...

so warehouses full? Hi, So, is someone gonna start a thread now about how crappy 4th edition is doing cause WOTC has warehouses full of books. And then compare them to TSR at then....and quote Ryan D. about going through sheet after sheet of products marked at .01 value? See, the sky is...

Chatacon Hi, I went to Chatacon in Chattanooga for years. They have a HUGE Con-Suite with really good snacks and all you can drink beer. The Beer could not leave the Con Suite. Very few problems. Occassional drunk, but they had more than enough staff to handle it. I never saw anything...

same as always To me, RPG development has progressed very closely with Video Games. The 1970’s versions are very simple, not much character choice (if any with a video game) and the investment to start is minimal (a quarter vs. 10 min character generation). The 90’s see RPGs with wide sweeping...

C&C goodness Hello, The Good: New Energy from the Troll Lords and Castles and Crusades: 4th printing of C&C PHB Crusader Mag getting better each issue Bright outlook for 2010 Geist: The Sin-eaters. Nice new WOD game by WW. The Bad: My...

Dragon Age This is why I am looking forward to Dragon Age by Green Ronin. I have no interest in Video Games, but a new RPG written to be a introductory game is my cup of tea. Then they go and split it up in distinct box sets based on levels (1-5, 6-10 etc). And each box is the complete game...

so

Yes, Yes, it is the prepare, fire, forget style of casting. I am looking to start running a game in the Middle Tennessee Area. I only get to run an occassional dungeon crawl at the moment. Regards, RK
