Surprisingly, mine kicks up approximately 6500 hits, which have to do with the F-14 Tomcat and the AIM-54 Phoenix, long range air-to-air missile. Interestingly, there's also a wide variety of languages with stuff on this missile, which was, sadly, retired after 30 years of service last year.

I think in this instance (speaking as a member of the group in question) the high-maintenance may be partially manufactured. What I mean by that is, we have a hosted forum on the boards (and previously various threads in the appropriate forum) where basically you get 24/7 (i exaggerate for...

I vote blue, as well, something about breathing lightning has always appealed to me.

I've seen it done. It's usually not a big deal, as in my experience it hasn't cropped up until the middle levels when an additional 1-200 xp isn't that much or the character getting it was a level behind or something. I freely admit, however, that I hate the wheedling. :p

We had a short adventure series in my friend's homebrew universe using a mod of the SR system where we had a nemesis ship (much more powerful than us, but it kept showing up! And he'd then proceed to play the "Imperial March" from Star Wars!) called the "Unbridled Fury". I've always liked it...

I hate writing in books as a general rule, but I always put my name in those books I have that tend to get mixed up/passed around with others. No one in my group is likely to steal my books (as they already have the books I have). Indeed, my PHB, which was a birthday present from my group was...

Let me put my vote in for Shadowrun. All you need is the main book (and indeed, it's all I'd recommend for a new player/group to the game) and you are more than set for hours of fun. :) If you're looking for fantasy, all I can say is I've had a blast with both HARP and Exalted, but my...

I don't buy any D&D/d20 stuff really at all. I have the PHB, DMG, OA and Cry Havoc and the only things I might yet pick up is the MM's for the possibility that I might run a game and Complete Adventurer, because I love the Scout class so (having been making up my own stuff to do the same thing...

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts, mutilated monky meat, little dirty birdy feet. But I learned that one in Canada. :p

I've thought about that, as well. I like the idea of a unified spell list and I think it makes spellcasters ultimately more flexible overall. There are a few spells I'd probably even kill completely.

I learned the "take the key" version and have to admit I've never heard of the "salt and pepper" version. I'm not totally sure where I picked it up as I lived in LA, TN and FL during my formative years. Also, I believe Mark is correct, in that it is "London Bridge is..." :)

Hmmm, I seem to have caused confusion with my initial comments (which were from the GM chair) and my second comment (as I am not the DM of my current group). Were I the DM, I assure you, this 'phenomenon' would not be an issue. It hasn't ever been an issue for my character, but when it has...

I think it's mostly a DM thing. I admit my experience is fairly limited as my 2E experiences were rarely long lasting enough that this was ever a issue. I've always been averse to killing characters right off the bat, but I do prefer to let the dice fall where they may. With my current group...

Hmmm, let's see what I got: USA (born, lived in 5 different states, visited another 25-30) Canada (grew up in SK, visited every province save PEI, NB, NFLD and the territories) Germany (3 month exchange to the Saarland in 1998) France Luxembourg Austria Denmark UK (England and Scotland) Ireland...

The only thing worse, I'd imagine, happened to my mom on a dig in Israel...somehow a wasp flew into her mouth and stung her there. This was, I believe the same dig where she wrecked her knee...not her best summer, clearly!

It's promises like that that keep me gaming... *tear* :D

The Light only knows what the spell does to the fetus in the process of the change anyway... If it were at all possible, Xath might just end up popping out some sorta aberration... :eek:

Kaereth tied her up and was standing over her until he took over commanding the armies. Anything with any mages was someone elses bailiwick (I love that phrase!), but I remember it coming up.

One day enemy? Only if Blackadder pops that thing out before we can take her down...which actually wouldn't surprise me given the magical crap going on with those guys...

I voted for any RPG as long as its fun. I'm one of those people that likes variety and, further, find that I get bored with any one game or system if I have to play it all the time. Shadowrun is my game of choice, 1) because I love the universe, 2) I love the system despite its quirks and 3) I...
