Not true. I have seen a horse charge a shieldwall. It was a demonstration on why there were large gaps kept between the lines in a shield wall. The horse knocked the first two shields apart as it broke the line, got through the second but lost momentem and stopped before the third with no where...

Yipes. Think of the power stored in museums. I sense a cthulu plot coming on.

Cerebral?

Currently, Wednesdays: Weekly game of a politics heavy Ars Magica 4e, when to many players drop out we play 3.5 DnD, fairly lighthearted hack n slash, plot lite. I'm supprised how much fun I'm having for a character with a good alignment. Thursdays: DnD 3.5 with a distinctly stargate...

Am I the only one who got a vision of a dragon on a therapists couch having a midlife crisis? :) "I look at my horde and the virgin sacrifices and think "is this all their is to life? Where did it all go wrong?" Or a dragon doing yoga-esque exercises and "grounding his worries" Oh. Just...

Aye, know the feeling. Some of those lists are long. Don't know if I should feel envy or pity.:D Mostly envy I think.

I was interested in seeing what people played, I've never thought EN worlders only play DnD, esp as half my post count was in discussions about the pros and cons of 3/4e....shadowrun.;) So many games, so little time. Curse this thing they call work.

Naturally this is a very DnD-centric site but I was wondering how much do other people branch out into other games. So how many different game systems have you played over the years? My own list is (in no particular order): Table Top: Marvel Superheros, DnD 2e, 3.x, Shadowrun 2e, 3e, 4e...

You say ruthless like it's a bad thing...:D Just because (s)he is a trigger happy evoker who knows "Evards tenticles of forced intrusion" and carries out summary exectutions on a whim doesn't mean (s)he's evil, just very, very :cool:. Man that spell scares me.

Two reasons, it can help me unwind and loosen up but mostly because I like the taste. If there is nothing I like the taste of in a pub then I won't drink, drinking for the sake of it just leads down a slippery path. I also see getting drunk not as the goal but as an unfortunate side effect...

Shadowrun: Assume there is an invisible voodoo shaman in there and order my drones to strafe the room with grenades, forget to tell the drone to stop as I get distracted by a strange sensor glitch 17km away that has no possible bearing on the immediate encounter. Wonder why my ammo costs always...

Most advice is rather system specific but here's some general stuff. Don't panic - in most systems only the GM really needs to know those complex rules, you can pick it up as you go along. If the GM is grinning that goblin has class levels Your dice hate you - deal with it Roleplaying a silly...

I'm suprised no one has mentioned Steph Swainston, (appologies to anyone who has mentioned her already if I missed their comments). "Year of Our War", "No Present Like Time" and "The Modern World" are a fantastic and very different read than many fantasy books. They also demonstrate an...

Chinese spin? Not really, that’s the correct format. From wikipedia: “The IOC medal tally chart is based on the number of gold medals for country. Where states are equal, the number of silver medals (and then bronze medals) are counted to determine rankings.”<O:p</O:p <O:p...

Now that sounds promissing!

Have a script writer/director/producer who actually has some past experience with making good films?

Wednesdays 6.30 - 10.30 Thursdays 7.15 - 10.30. In theory. With ordering food, distractions and general faffing around we don't usually get started till 8.

Sorry I was too busy planning then playing it :)

With a bit of Googling Gen Con UK: Reading Uni, 28 - 31 Aug Couldn't find a price though

Ars Magica Shadowrun Starwars d6 Deadlands Dark Herecy Paranoia Legend of the 5 rings loss of d20 systems is no great loss when there is so much cool stuff out there to chose from, and these are just the games I own.
