Just got in the Synthetic Men of Mars. My weekend is all adventured up.

I'd like to see what ya get if you breed a Bear with a Tigon and Liger - oh my! Whatever it is, I'll bet it's a Bigon

I have a little problem. I've been seeing people say around here that gaming is not just gaming, but more like "not real life." While others say, "nothing about real life is even slightly like gaming, but the opposite is never true, except on the weekends when it ain't." (And who could blame...

Everyone knows the only real D&D is AD&D. And Good Lord... I'm only kidding.

Tolkien, Forster, Greene, Frost, even Ivo Andrić will long outlive Österling. An incompetent critic does not an Artist make, or unmake.

Works in real life and everywhere else too. But building your own Informant Network is always the best play in my opinion. Not just single informants, but real Networks. I have in the past (and still do from time to time) experimented with methods of anticipating criminal and terrorist...

We have a new cat. She showed up a couple of weeks ago, a kitten not far past weaning. The weather turned around here a few weeks ago and although this is the most mild winter I can remember in years (thank you Global Warming) the nights have still been fairly cold. The days short, and...

I always mix 2 parts Holy Water, 1 part apple cider vinegar, 3 parts Coors and 4 parts Mountain Dew. It's good for what ails ya, and bad for who ails ya. Assuming the who is a basement wererat or a sparkly Vampire.

Mark, the answer for me is: realistic enough to be magical and mysterious and miraculous in any world, magical and mysterious and miraculous enough to be real in our world.

I essentially allow 3 different ways of doing this. What you describe is very similar to one of the ways I use. It doesn't become unbalanced because everyone is relatively easy to kill. Like a real person. Training and skills and capabilities and even game "powers" definitely improve...

Janx, I think it depends upon exactly how one defines sandbox, and how one's superhero game is structured. If one defines Sandbox as free choice of whatever interests you in any direction, that's one kind of Sandbox. If you define Sandbox as a choice of areas and destinations or missions...

Impressive... Most impressive.

That's what my dad was saying. You don't try and take large numbers of POWs unless you really can't help it. You injure the enemy troops badly enough, but don't kill them, and instead of then over-running the area immediately you let the enemy recover their own injured so that they have to...

And Trolls. Most of those weapons would probably do little against Trolls. Though a good microwave hotfoot might send em packing.

AP Newswire | Stars and Stripes This is sorta tangentially related, but a buddy of mine, retried now though he had a lot of experience at Bragg, put up this article, and personally I think this is very, very long overdue. I've long said that Special Operators should be part Warrior...

That's an interesting statement I could read in 3 different ways, though I think I know what you're shooting at. There are no good riot or crowd control non-lethals or less than lethals. Because in large groups of peoples the military, police, or any peace-keepers cannot possibly know the...

I wish though they do far more work with sonics and sub-sonics, especially sonic beams enwrapped in carrier waves. One thing I've always wondered though, is why so little emphasis compartively speaking concerning radio and television waves and ECM against ship board communications from...

Really, really liked that. But I think his best book was Tides of War. I didn't care much for the Profession. It had some interesting "futurist speculation" but he does much better at the historical analysis and assumption of ancient warfare. I liked Killing Rommel though. Both...

Wait til you read Blood Meridian (if you haven't already). Biography: The Real Wizard of Oz Books on CD: Still listening to Fire in the East which I'm enjoying immensely. Comics/Graphic Novels: Daredevil: Lone Stranger eBooks or Internet Library...

Good luck and Good Hunting everyone.
