Yay, another OOTS! Now we can all argue over the in-game mechanics of a webcomic again! :D

Sprites: Sprites are mischievious, often evil fae that enjoy suffering. Grigs: Insane creatures that lure victims away from safe places by playing strange, horrid magic on their fiddles. One grig paralyzes the victim with a song while other grigs slowly saw the victim apart over many hours...

Writes up a long, detailed post about who would win in a fight between religion and politics.

For ships, I imagine a lot of that depends on currents and on wind speed. I remember hearing that when ships began leaving Europe for the New World, they were making the return trip much faster due to pull of the gulf stream for instance. If you're lacking one or the other you might not be...

Hmmm, things are filling up pretty fast. I need to figure out if I'm doing something that weekend. Something is telling me that I have something else going on that weekend but for the life of me I can't think of what.

I think the lack of guns and cars is what makes me think of it as an earlier era than the 1920's. Like you say though, it's not perfect. The "technology" level of the setting varies quite a bit depending on what part of it you play in and what items we're talking about.

Takes quote out of context.

I had an idea for a show fairly similar to the MTV's Jackass. The main difference was that my working title was "Ow, My Neck!" The idea was that MTV was getting so far away from their roots (music videos) that I predicted the next thing they came up with would be a bunch of idiots being paid to...

Not sure I'd agree with that estimate of the time. Maybe 1830. It's tough to say precisely because the areas vary a little bit on the tech. scale. Edit: The pc game Arcanum makes me think of Eberron. Not sure how many folks have played that.

To make a short story long, I was on IMDB last night and stumbled upon this while looking up MST3K's Kevin Murphy. Funny LoTR spoof Looks like they never got around to finishing it, which is a shame. Ah well, it is more good, fun stuff by the MSTie's.

Makes suggestive comment towards most recent poster of (suspected) opposite gender.

Types up post fraught with spelling and puncutation errors professing the superiority (or inferiority) of game "X" and makes thinly-veiled threats at those who disagree.

Azer: Pronounced "Ey-zer!" Friendly outsiders with thick french accents. Orc: Whale with poor spelling. Homonculus: The opposite of a Heteronculus Rakshasa: The little creature stuck in maracas that gives them their distinctive sound. Basilisk: Frightening creature that comes in large mouth and...

How about adding some old, rotten netting? If thrown onto someone, it's easy to rip, but...oh god...spiders, spiders all over it!

I haven't gotten a chance. I've played two characters with PRC's as their ultimate goal; an Asaathi ranger/fighter who would have eventualyl been an Ancetral Warrior, and an Aberration-blooded sorc/barbarian who was intended to become a dragon disciple. Both were "neutralized" the level before...

Go Ma Ti! Heart!

I can't say I agree with that. If a game has about 20 minutes of fun every four hours than there must be something wrong with the group. My former WLD/curren Eberron group definitely gets in more than that and I've played a couple of one shot games (Providence game day last year) that certainly...

At the start of my Eberron campaign I gave every PC a point in Knowledge:Local that applies to their town/place of origin. I feel that there aren't any guidelines as to what is meant by the term "local" though. I've been thinking along three lines... 1: Knowledge:Local applies specifically to...

In my Eberron game thus far... Sessions 1: PC's get introduced in Wroat and discuss threats to Breland with the captain of the Kings Blades*, Captain Ellenar. They hit the hay as they won't be getting their assignments until tomorrow but are attacked close to dawn by a few goblins and hobgoblin...

Seconded. Actually, now that I take a second look, thirded.
