    The right angle firing gun

    if people were really serious about war, what you would do is create rigger drones of little tracked robots that had machine guns on them.. then link them up to some twitch happy arcade junkie 12 year boy and watch as they mow down the enemy.. All you ahve to do is put a score meter on it.

    What's the quintessential D&D monster?

    I would have to say the Beholder.. after all none of the other monsters made it into the D&D moofie. :D

    Chiming in on the D&D minis (merged with "anyone buying the new Mini's?")

    I picked up two expansion packs yesterday. I like it.. in Aus.. at $20 a pack, that makes it about Au$2.50 per minature. Which is pretty good. especially when the metal ones are about Au$8. I personally don't buy a huge number of minatures anymore. I find I no longer have the time to spend...

    A Summoner's Gear?

    "I choose you Fiendish Dire Digester!!!" or to quote Penny Arcade. I choose you Walther PPK!!! but.. on topic. I would suggest maybe some bags of coloured sand (pick one colour for your own theme - ie like the colour of a light saber it reflects you) mabye a small metal brazier. fake...

    Hey Man; it's not worth it...

    it sounds like a pretty standard ending. It's what I would expect and prolly half the world. why not show the bad guy going to jail and imply that it won't be a very comfortable place. Dying is getting off easy. The bad guy obviously knows that.

    So what's the deal with "Midnight"?

    heroic paths are level based abilities that every PC gets. You choose it at 1st level.. and it is yours for life. You would use your Heroic Path to simulate a paladin... But you could be a Wildlander with the Guardian Path - giving you abilities like detect evil 1/day at first, aura of courage...

    Is there ANY way for a PC to gain the Regenerate ability?

    well.. if you head is chopped off...you would probably stay dead.. cause the ring of regen is on your finger not you head... so.. what you need is a nice earring of regen... so if you head is chopped of it will regrow your body.. then you need to do something like an auto-soul jar or some such...

    How are spiked chains carried?

    the only live action show I have ever seen that even vaguely shows how to carry a spiked chain as d&d has it would be Salute of the Jugger. but the Chinese have that wonderful chain whip which was worn as a belt etc. no spikes on the chain.. instead just a spike tip and a chain. Much more...

    (OT) Adulthood Survival Kit

    just to check... Sharpies are a kind of pen or pencil? Right? cause over here in Australia Sharpies are needles.. you know.. for injecting things. Give him a little black book...

    Fantasy MnM supplement - original stuff or DnD conversion?

    Actually.. as somebody dming a game where I am using the Mutants&Masterminds Rules for character creation.. the SovStone Magic System, and the Combat rules from D&D3.0, the most useful thing for me would be a kind of Monster Manual of creatures stats.. with multiple stat blocks.. 1 for Standard...

    Core races/classes too limited?

    I think that it comes from a variety of changes in the RP community overall. For starters, I think that the game mechanics have been refined to a point that it is now easily possible to be a Half-Fiend/Insectiod-Orge/Fighter/Rogue/Shadowdancer and have actual rules for it. It's been simplified...

    Humanoid Strike Team Gear?

    whoops.. double post. I would probably set the above strike team with equal numbers.. Also, I would prefer Short Bows, but Kobolds have low strength.. If you think they are weak.. make them Tauric (Savage Species) and have them sit out of range on a roof upside down.

    Humanoid Strike Team Gear?

    Hmmmm.. .I would suggest a classic combined with nasty. Kobold Precision Strike Team. "The Red Claw" This team was setup by a Red Dragon with a taste for assasinating his enemies. His also arranged for the gear. Leader - Kobold Half-Dragon (Red) His two sons - Draconic Kobolds (see Dungeon...

    Is it harder to be a DM in a high-level campaign?

    One of the tricks I have found is that you don't even have to make an adventure. You just have to make the world.. All you have to do, is know what is happening in the world, and then tell them when they ask, and try and think of the geo-polictical rammifications. I played in a game where over...

    (OT) I have never known fury like this

    I read it today as well. I was rather disturbed, and I hope that the UN takes action to stop this particular kind of institution. Deprivation of Liberty of children is not ok ever. Even with the permission of the parents. This reminds me of the movie Soldier (Kurt Russell) a lot.

    Should adventurers be "better"?

    They should. And they shouldn't. To me.. it really depends on the campaign flavour and what "feel" the DM and the Players want to achieve. I personally prefer to play what I call Hero Characters.. larger than life people, who have been blessed with a mighty attribute and a desire to do good...

    Are there any animals with a long life span?

    galapagas tortoise... I don't believe that they have worked out the exact life span.. but they are more like a pet rock than a pet animal :D

    serrated blades

    one of the era's that I studied european swords from was 1375. The standard way to sharpen a sword was to use a file. not a whetstone. you would file the blade on a consistent angle towards you. The aim of this was so that when you draw the sword across the enemies chain armour, it would...

    How tough is City of the Spider Queen?

    well.. my party is doing CotSQ as well.. and well.. we are romping through it.. combine Rings of the Darkhidden.. and the blindsight spell.. and no light.. Drow have a real hard time dealing with that. You kill them.. and they don't know you are coming...
