    Hathaway Catwoman Photo...

    Good deductions. I suspect from the look of the goggles that they are either night-vision capable, allow infra-red capabilities, or both. Possibly they also give her some type of targeting advantage, or maybe even help guide or control Waynetech. They may be multi-functional. That would be the...

    Non-Fiction: The E-Myth Enterprise The Forbes CFA Institute Investment Course - continuing on with this study from last month The Innovator's Way Fiction: A Dead Man's Secret - I started this after finishing Rise of the Huntress: the Last Apprentice. It's a great book...

    Umbran arrested in Sweden for Illegal Nuclear Experiments!

    If you went for cold fusion Umbran you could use a Pinto instead of a DeLorean. On second thought... don't use a Pinto cause that could accidentally lead to fission.

    The Wreaking Crypt

    Thanks. Now that I know what the default font actually is I just write out longer posts in Word, and then try and remember when I copy and paste here to switch the font to Verdana. That's seems to be working.

    Is D&D Art?

    To me I'd say much depends upon the nature and outcome of the game and how it affects both players and DM and what future use will be made of what was created. Sometimes to me, it is not art at all, just entertainment. Sometimes it is a sort of performance art. And on rare occasions I would...

    The Wreaking Crypt

    Wreaking Havoc Wreaking Havoc - The third installment of the set of adventures dealing with the Wreak. If the party survives the adventure of the Folly Men then they will have by this point gathered at least some information about what is possibly going on surrounding the Wreak...

    Blood Drain and Energy Loss

    I think I now know why this may have happened, though at first I didn't connect the two. Thursday the 22nd of July I woke up and my supra clavicle lymph node (port side) had swollen to the size of an embedded golf ball. A couple of days earlier I had been cutting down trees and apparently...

    DC Comics Reboot

    I like many comic book heroes, but I'm becoming very tired of comic books and comic book worlds.

    The Quest

    Describe some of the best Quests you've ever seen in a game. Whether you were the DM/GM and designing or running the Quest, or whether you were a player involved in fulfilling a Quest, or whether you just observed the Quest. In any case what were some of the very best Quests you've ever...

    Empty Rooms, and what do they mean?

    To me what occupies a room should be more a function of the building/design itself rather than being dictated by a version of the game. To me it's a matter of what is the locale used for, who occupies it, how much space do they need, did they build this for their own purposes, squat in...

    PC Inheritance

    I do this and have done it since my earliest playing/DMing days. If my player characters or my player's characters lived long enough often they got married and/or had children. Possessions, heirlooms, birthrights, legacies, and inheritances went to their offspring, brothers, or sometimes to...

    The Monster: Mythic or Game Version?

    I hadn't really thought of it in quite those terms, but I don't use straight myth versions of monsters either because you have to make for (at least some) variations based on the game you're playing. But I do like your idea of hybridizing mythic monsters and game monsters. I also keep a list...

    The Wizard and the Wyrdpack

    I've been tinkering around with this idea for awhile and would like to get other opinions on it. To see if the people here think it might be a viable or good idea for a book of fiction. So I'm doing a bit of market research. This is the basic outline I have sketched out so far: The...

    Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

    I saw a preview for this when I went to see Harry Potter 7. I'm not opposed to the way they did Holmes and Watson in the last film, and I don't think it's the greatest version of Holmes ever. But I thought it wasn't bad for a film. But in my opinion the previews I saw for this film...

    Blood Drain and Energy Loss

    I went to give blood yesterday. I'm hardly a "blood donor virgin," as I've given several times in the past. Usually I'm back to speed after a good meal and a night's sleep. But this time it's like I'm totally tapped out. I slept some this morning and afternoon after rising at about 6:00. But...

    how Epic do you like it?

    I agree with that. Scale and drama are to me far more important considerations than other types of considerations, especially limited game design or construction ones. I'm also not at all sure one can construct epic events or adventures. You can construct epic storylines, of course, write into...

    P90x

    Thanks. I'm probably too old for that as a continuous work out program. However it might be nice to incorporate that into my other training programs, as you said, as an occasional workout strategy.

    Do you GM for yourself or others?

    I think of it as both, and my player soften tell me they have found the games I run both enjoyable and useful (in real life). But I would have to say that generally speaking (because I cannot really know just how useful or beneficial or even enjoyable a game was to them, only they can...
