    [Jan05] Campaign reports

    Wings of Icarus (D20 Modern) will have a hell of a Season 2 premiere with "Showdown at the God Trap," in which the PCs meet up with a nemesis who has...erm...ah... Best to just hit you with the details (with many thanks and apologies to Warren Ellis for lifting a few of his keen ideas from...

    How does Boromir keep fighting?

    He's a Tough Hero, with the talent to Remain Conscious. In a fantasy setting.

    My Cthulhu Campaign

    I'm seeing shades of The Invisibles and Planetary too...some of favorite comics. If you haven't checked them out, I heartily recommend both. Lots of "new spin on Cthulhu Mythos" in The Invisibles, as well as a major plot revolving around a moonchilde. Sounds like a really cool idea, Nisarg, and...

    Report Post Feature

    Thanks, Michael! Don't think I haven't noticed all your hard work keeping this place up and running, not to mention suffering the slings and arrows of those who may be less than enthused about this improvement or that. You rock! (However, I think the Report Post button should have an eye in...

    Using Miniatures?

    I agree totally! They are also the kind of minis that look good after getting the quick treatment. Hey, when you start with an awesome sculpt with great textures, you need less painting right? Plus it's nice to do a few quick, big minis as I gear up for the detail-fest of that street gang...

    Using Miniatures?

    Agreed. In my D20 Modern campaign, I've adopted the idea that the minis are simply idealized representations, "game pieces" if you will, but aren't meant to be tiny exact replicas of the characters. I think it does a well-rounded, fleshed-out character a disservice to visualize them as a little...

    "D&D is evil. I have seen it from the inside."

    D&D is evil. And everyone who plays it is irredeemably evil. Them's the facts.

    Call of Cthulhu: The Nature of Madness?

    C-T-H-U-L-H-U Who? Cthulhu! No offense, Planesdragon...it's my new mission. :D And Nisarg...there's no "DM" in Call of Cthulhu. "Keeper of Arcane Lore," if you please. ;)

    Call of Cthulhu: The Nature of Madness?

    My reply isn't very speculative or philosophical, but... "Insanity" in Call of Cthulhu has nothing to do with real-world, clinical mental illness. In the game, it is a system used to reproduce a literary convention; in this case, the sanity-shaking effects of the Mythos as described by the...

    mERRy X-Mas...to all. Spreading the LOVE....

    YES! Just finished watching this with the wife. "Official inexorable justice." In other news... *sniff* ...no one bought old Tom Cashel a CSA... :(

    Unused tools?

    Mine either, until I had a dragon they were fighting use all three. I figured, they're just standard combat actions, and the dragon's going to succeed 8 times out of 10 with those staggering bonuses to hit... Boy, were they pissed. And dead. They started putting the Combat chapter to use...

    Unused tools?

    Likewise. That's one of the many reasons D20 Modern is the shiznit. Scads of stat blocks just ready to be modified, augmented, transmogrified, altered, switcheroo'd, and fnorded.

    Ignore lists

    I can scarcely believe how offended I am at all the posts in this thread. You're all going on my ignore list immediately. And for those of you who posted twice...you're on the list twice. I'm looking at you, Big D. (But seriously...I think if you want to ignore everything an individual posts...
