I believe there is a chinese term for it.. but.. I can't remember it. basically.. isometric exercises are "resistance" exercises. they are done by yourself.. like that section in you forms.. where you are pushing you hand outwards.. breathing out.. yet resisting with all your might. It...

I have found this thread rather interesting.. pretty cool to hear everybodies views.. so.. just to add to it some more.. do many of you use isometric exercises to develop strength/power/chi? in Hung Gar and a few of the other kung fu's i have studied it has been one of the things I have found...

Cool.. one of the things I have found interesting over the years is the different views of sparring.. when I did TKD (Moon Lee - one of the big ones in Australia - more of an "Art" than a fighting style) a few of my friends and I sparred.. and sparred hard.. almost every week one of use would...

well.. I did Tae Kwon Do for about 4 years.. then after pressuring some discs from bad streches (I was too young to know better) I laid low for a couple.. Then I got back into it and did Wing Chun Kung Fu for about a year. But stopped.. cause I didn't like the ethics of the sifu. Then I...

dude.. I changed the way I did it. basically.. I decided that I wanted my players to gain a level every 4 to 6 game sessions.. so.. I just went with.. every time you turn up.. you get a tick. if you roleplay well...you get a tick.. and when you have enough ticks.. you gain a level. works...

um.. I would disagree with you with regards to the weapons having the incorrect weights. Some weapons I think are not heavy enough.. ie..the Longsword. 4lbs? depending on the quality of steel/iron used it would be about right.. or heavier. where as.. a Greatsword...15lbs? um.. that is a bit on...

hmmm.. Praetorean Guard (sp.) would probably be what you are looking for.

as somebody above indicated.. the Raymond E Feist series.. only about 18 or so books by him and some with a co-author (5 I believe) - many of them seem as though they were based on a gaming session. Plus.. a new revised edition of Magician (the first one) has been released. another series I...

I agree with you to a certain extent.. How I would run it would be.. if it fitted with the way the God in question worked.. then Diplomacy could be swapped out with Intimidate. So.. for one War god.. it is Diplomacy.. for the other.. it is Intimidate.. of course.. to be fair I would tell...

hmm... As a DM.. I have never had to worry about Character Deaths. My players have always JUST managed to avoid it. But as a Player.. I have had a few.. some were bad calls.. others weren't. As for how to encourage the players to roleplay their reactions to the barb's death...um..that's a...

um.. I believe that with the right spells you can get rid of the level loss.. Restoration is the spell (don't have my books on me) so you could qualifiy.. so if you go to the effort of losing the level.. you can also pre-prepare a scroll or potion to get rid of the level loss. :D so.. you can...

Actually.. if it was a Short Run game.. what I would do would be create the characters for the players.. with a detailed history and behaviour for each character.. Some players find that getting the op. to play something out of the norm fun.

um.. I think that the food was imported.. um...some areas in the "kingdom" were kept more secure from the greeblies. but.. the DM mainly glossed over that aspect. and well.. we let him. he would have just killed us off if we asked too many questions.. possibly our characters too. as for...

a previous DM of mine made a very harsh and brutal setting of his own.. quite simply. .he made all of the cities in the starting region walled... and for a reason.. the country inbetween the cities.. was infested with things called "Hate Lizards".. basically velociraptors..just Outsiders...they...

I thought that the main problem with the movie.. apart from the afformentioned issues.. was that.. it was not a true party.. just.. One guy.. who brought along some spectators.. o.. and a mate.. who died.. to give him a bit more of a reason to finish his quest.. I don't remember seeing any...

from what I have seen on whack japenese and chinese weapons "kote" are rl weapons/armour.. two sheilds.. like the two bucklers strapped to the back of two katars? that looks cool.. and is a feasible.. o.. and europeans also used sheilds to deflect.. especially knights.. you never just...

yup.. mine was when I was playing Arathon Redboots.. a wizard who wore the whole robes and pointy hat thing.. like Gandalf.. only he wore redboots.. now.. he had a spell for everything.. the DM new this.. the players new this.. I knew this.. (he could put almost any spell to use even if it was...

hmm.. I am 26.. Australian.. Male.. middle upper class.. I have a full time job that pays more than the aussie average.. I have a great and supportive family who I love dearly. I believe I have found the woman who may just be the love of my life. Would I go? Um.. gosh darnit.. I just don't...

hmmm... play a Fey'ri (MoF).. I don't know what the ecl is.. but that should be fun. take a level of maybe.. um.. fighter.. specialise in the long bow.. and just plain pepper your enemies.. and.. if you want to be really.. um.. non-party centric.. don't bother with precise shot straight up...

longer pikes. set up a porcupine in the middle... just make sure.. your first ranks pikes can get to the baddies before their polearms can reach you. as big a group as you can manage.. and have a bunck of archers sit behind your main body. as well as your siege group.. and have two fast...
