    Silver Age Sentinels d20- Do you have it, too?

    Bought it, read it, scratched my head, read it again, tossed it to the floor, and finally sold it. Let's just say it made me yearn for the days I played TSR's Marvel Super-Heroes basic set. :p

    How would you remake the D&D cartoon?

    I'd use the three kids from the Knights of the Silver Dragon series that WoTC owns. I think the "gotta get home" shtick gets real old. Having the kids at home in the setting would help ground them in the world. One goal of the show would be to show how similar the characters are to kids...

    My Wife is in TV Guide - Who Wants To Be A Superhero 2

    I don't consider discussing last night's episode a spoiler, so I'm not going to block it. If someone hasn't seen the episode, they shouldn't be reading our discussions first. I believe the first and third episodes of season one each had two eliminations, so last night's double hit wasn't much...

    giving away a gift....

    Except when daddy looks at the toy and thinks "This is about the same scale as my minis. I could use this in my next D&D game!" :p

    Give me your virtual tabletop xp

    Do you have the problem of everyone speaking at once? Or when one person starts speaking, does it block the voices of everyone else?

    B4:The Lost City and the water problem (possible minor spoiler)

    Stress or Ignore I'm running this currently with a group of 4th level players. The original module starts out that the players are lost in the desert, out of water for two days and stumble across the pyramid's opening. You can play this two ways: 1). Stress to the players that they are...

    Give me your virtual tabletop xp

    Hussar - do you use a voice service like Skype or TeamSpeak? I'd like to know if it's easier running a game with out without conference call? On the one hand, it beats the speed of typing all the time, but does everyone talking drag combat and other activities out like F2F gaming?

    giving away a gift....

    That sounds like the kind of ethical delimmas I deal with at my house. That's why there are three large tubs of toys in our attic that my kids have outgrown but can't stand to part with. This is in addition to the large play room and their own bedrooms filled with toys. So my answer would be...

    Is WoTC even relevant to you anymore?

    Last WoTC items I purchased was Expedition to Ravenloft, a couple of the Fantastic Locations and maybe the first tiles set. Everything that's come out this year, while interesting, hasn't gotten me to open up my wallet very wide. I'd like to think I'll be picking up MMV or some of the recent...

    kettle grill: more flavorful fuels than charcoal?

    If I recall, and it's been a while since I did some smoking on the grill, soaking mesquite chips in water for about an hour, then putting them in a foil pack with holes in the top, will impart some of the smokey flavor on your food as you cook it. Be sure to put the foil pack in the coals. I've...

    Possibly returning to painting Minis

    Painting is one of the things I do while I'm waiting for the next game! Nothing like whipping out a cool looking mini on my players to ooh and ahh over! :cool: Remember the True20 game I ran? Check out these minis that just came out on the Old Glory web site: Four Musketeers and...

    August - What are you reading?

    "Beyond the Gap" by Harry Turtledove. This is either the first book of a series or a stand-alone, which is kinda rare for old Harry. So far so good. I've got to read quickly because my library has a copy of "The World Without Us" on hold for me. This book explores the question of what would...

    My Wife is in TV Guide - Who Wants To Be A Superhero 2

    Then's instead of being a jerk, Mindset was coming across as a jerk to all of us not afflicted by Asperger's Syndrome. Married or unmarried, some people come across as flirtatious. Doesn't mean they are "on the prowl," its just how they communicate. Look at the sterotypical waitress calling...

    "How to make a Monster Manual Pt II" article

    I like stream-lined monsters AND written tactics for complicated monsters. If you gave me a monster with either multiple spell-like abilities or caster levels I've got problems prioritizing which comes which. I want monsters where from round one they'll be in it for at least four rounds. But...

    My Wife is in TV Guide - Who Wants To Be A Superhero 2

    FM never struck me as parody. A parody makes fun of, or is a weak imatation of the real thing. FM was sincere and showed a lot of strength. Major V on the other hand, while my favorite, never really took the show as serious as FM or FB. My pick so far is Hygenia as she seems to be the most...

    Desert of Desolation series - individual modules or mega-adventure

    You can also pick up the pdf versions for less at either the ENWorld store (RPGNow) or Paizo.com. I purchased the 2nd ed and it looks great.
