    [PBS] Spartans

    Sounds like a two or three part thing they had on..History Channel? Rise and Fall of the Spartans. I still have it on tape someplace. Pretty cool.

    Spell Focus - Still Worth It?

    It seems like the best solution here is the best of both worlds. Leave SF giving a +2. And raise the saves of everything in your game by +1. The players who hate SF: with only +1 are happy, and the end result is the same.;)

    [OA/FR] Rokugan - Updated 12/13/03

    The battle had been over for several days and the clean up was going well. Based on confused reports, the barbarian compound had been attacked in the night by undead and creatures of shadow of a type the Rokugani were unfamiliar with. Even an old cleric from the west who had survived the...

    PC's Killing PC's

    Truth. I have had a heated discussion come up in a Hero System game I ran because one character drew a rapier and stabbed an NPC in the belly. When other PC's got annoyed, he tried to say "I only stabbed her with a sword, I wasn't trying to kill her!" I'm generally against PC's killing PC's...

    [OT] Return of the King Trailer

    I'd guess this got pulled or something? No luck in accessing the trailer, nothing comes up.

    [OA/FR] Rokugan - Updated 12/13/03

    Nezu watched the group preparing with a growing sense of dread. Volar pulled out a spy glass from his backpack, even though it was far to long to have really fit inside there. Looking toward the battle ahead the elf said “Eight guards, half armed with bows. One looks like a leader type. And...

    [OA; 3.0] assassin in rokugan

    The quote goes as follows So there is little doubt James Wyatt meant the Assassin prestige class. and I can't blame him, he had only one book to do a campaign world AEG has taken somerthing eight books (and counting) to really do out, and reusing non asian stuff saves space. It's worth...

    [GenCon] Checking in from the Front/First Impressions

    I live in Indianapolis, so I suppose I can. Some sound advise so far. The best day to show up and get a badge if you did not rereg is Wednesday. I've done this for several years with barely a wait. On the other hand, prereg people one Wed can often have a decent wait. Even so, the line was...

    [OA/FR] Rokugan - Updated 12/13/03

    The party had been looking forward to one more shot at Taka and his Guren-tai group being here was just a bonus. Verick began by trading arrow shots with Taka as Toshiro and Nezu started forward. The stout cleric cast a bless then charged forward with the ronin dressed as a Lion clan samurai...

    [d20M] League of Extraordinary Gentlemen -- UPDATED 12/4! NOTHING STRESSFUL GOING ON!

    This was certainly a problem. Too much about the villain bugged me. From his age, given who he was. To his weasly "If you stop me, it just means someone else will do it." Given who the villain is this makes little sense to me. A little explanation of why the bad guy was doing what he was...

    [OA/FR] Rokugan - Updated 12/13/03

    The line of illusionary Crab cresting the hill behind the flank of the Cyricians certainly did catch their attention. Toshiro’s thundering voice delivering that challenge did even more. The cavalry on the left flank were panicked by the sudden appearance of a hundred samurai behind them, and...

    Which movie is worse?

    I can't think of many, off hand. I find Streetfighter watchable, in a mindless way, and it had some cool lines. The DnD movie just was bad in about every way it could have been bad. It's not even bad in a fun way.

    [OT-Sumo] Aichi July 2003 Basho

    And on we roll. With 14 of 15 bouts finished, what had been a wild, wide open race has narrowed down to Kaio and Chiyotaikai. They'll meet today with the basho on the line. If Chiyotaikai wins, he'll have won two of the last three tournaments, and he should have easier requirements for...

    [OA/FR] Rokugan - Updated 12/13/03

    The party made their way to the house former used by the Octopus gang. They found it deserted, a sign posted warning the house was infected with a disease and no one was to enter. All valuables had already been stripped away but it worked out to a relatively safe place to stay. While the...

    [OT-Sumo] Aichi July 2003 Basho

    What -is- the reason for throwing out Cthuhlu's favorite creature onto the ice? I've heard about it a couple of times but never heard any reason why they do it. [B] Mostly naked, thanks so much. Let's get our facts right here.;)

    [OT-Sumo] Aichi July 2003 Basho

    Throwing seat cushions? A traditional way of congratulating someone who defeats a yokozuna. Not quite the same thing really.;) I don't think someone running from the stands will be a problem. It's just asking for trouble rushing guys that huge.

    [OT-Sumo] Aichi July 2003 Basho

    And here we are into the home stretch for yet one more sumo grand tournament. And things have gotten interesting. Not only is the tournament very much up for grabs (five sumo are tied for first) but Asashoryu has just been getting into more trouble. At the moment Musoyama and Tosanoumi are...

    Miniatures - The Magic: The Gathering Way - Good or Bad?

    We use miniatures in our games all the time. I've spent hours painting L5R miniatures for my Rokugan game. No chance at all I'll buy a pack of miniatures without knowing what I'm buying, sorry WotC. I suppose it's the control freak side of me that also makes me like GMing.:)

    Name those B-Movie-esque TV Shows!

    Hmm...how about Jack 'O Trades. The only thing I can remember seeing Bruce Campbell in that so completely sucked it wasn't worth watching. Right in the same class as Cleopatra 2525. On the other hand, I remember enjoying Ark II when I was a little kid.

    Name those B-Movie-esque TV Shows!

    Oh yes, I remember Quark. I had to fight my parents every week just to watch it. I think it might have even made it to a second season, but would not swear to it. Now, the series I always forget the name of. Early 80's, maybe late 70's, fantasy with a strong comedy element. Once had the...
