23, give or take. Most of which appear likely to be heavily affected by DC Heroes Reborn, and I am not sanguine about the changes being improvements. In fact, it seems likely that my favorite books won't exist (Simone's BoP & Secret Six, Power Girl, etc.). When was the last time Jim Lee drew a...

Best Served Cold, by the previously mentioned Abercrombie. I'm hoping it's less annoyingly predictable than I found his trilogy. Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

Happy Birthday, Kevin!

Halfway through Brian Ruckley's Bloodheir. How is Wise Man's Fear, by the way? Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk

We call that one "wyvernized". The PCs once had a fight where one of the foes was Wyvern, one of the classic Champions mook villains. Throughout the fight, the PC heroes kept knocking Wyvern out, but to just -7 or -8, so he'd recover on his next action, or they'd get him to -11 at the end of a...

Bag of tricks, for the win! I may have to point this post out to all of my players. They're always selling the little things.

See, I was thinking "three dead guards with slit throats" had covered that territory for them already. But then, I was always a fan of old school Kettenek. ;)

16 of 22. Voulge vs guisarme is the one I kept guessing on.

Hey, happy birthday, Fajitas!

I thought so, but I did find the pacing a bit odd all the way through. It didn't bother me much, though.

I finished Brandon Sanderson's Elantris the other day, which I thought was totally setting up a sequel, but apparently he hasn't written one. I just started Stirling's In the Courts of the Crimson Kings. I suddenly have this urge to go buy the Savage Worlds version of Space: 1889. Not sure...

I take it that wasn't Savina blazing away from the chopper? Not a crossover adventure? Dang. ;) (What game system was it?)

Combine this with Wednesday Boy's suggestion: the means by which the elves secured this treaty is by betraying their eladrin cousins, and giving Zacris the means to summon and bind the feyspires. The elves gave up the knowledge, and handed over sacrifices to power the ritual (they gave up...

When the new trilogy is all done, let me know if anything actually changes between the beginning and end. I loved the books right up until the end and the status quo was restored. I was very disappointed. Meanwhile, back at the reading ranch . . . I just finished Stross's Halting State, and am...

"Bone tired" -- I see what you did there. ;)

Ultimate Combat is due out at Gen Con, isn't it? That's 6 months away; that ought to give them a couple of months for playtesting.

Multiple groups: one is 20-odd years old, another is about 6 years old, and the other is 2. PS: the poll is missing an option -- 21-24 years old.

I voted Packers, because I slightly prefer they win rather than Pittsburgh (again). I suspect that the Steelers will win, especially if they can all get healthy in the next week and a half. But I like the Packers style more, so I will root for them. Right after I root for a good game, and...
