    Solar Eclipse 04/08/2005 - no one told me!

    That would be awesome...if it weren't cloudy today... I did get to see a total eclipse, though I had to go to Turkey to see it. Definitely a cool experience.

    What RPG books are the Gems of your collection?

    The gems, eh? Well, my absolute favorite is my battered SR3 (it went from brand new to well-used in about one session). All I need to play my favorite game, plus it has some great art. I'd also add Man and Machine, Cannon Companion, Rigger 3 and Shadows of Europe to that list, if only because...

    Ever hear a song that makes you think of D&D?

    "It's Great to be a Nerd" by The Arrogant Worms I blame them for my series of halfling fighters. :p Damn, but they were fun to play!

    Canada... where to move?

    I can't believe no one has yet mentioned the educational mecca that is Saskatoon, Saskatchewan! :p Okay, I'm kidding, but I had to give a shout out to my hometown...although S'toon has a surprising variety of things to do, but really, you're probably better off in Vancouver, Toronto or...

    Best RPG Books to Read

    This is easy, any Shadowrun book with Shadowtalk. All straight fluff, with GM stuff at the back. Corporate Shadowfiles was a great one, but I don't personally own any 2E stuff, so I don't get to read it too often. Of the 3E stuff, the "Shadows of..." series is my favorite, although I know...

    Xath and Archon: Kids in the Hall

    Oh, poor Archon, how we have mistreated you! Quit this pity me, BS. You are playing your character to the hilt and, as far as I'm concerned, it has been with little regard for group dynamics and the fun of more than yourself. You've pretty much sucked up the limelight since this thing rolled...

    Xath and Archon: Kids in the Hall

    Aha. Good enough, then. :)

    Xath and Archon: Kids in the Hall

    We're well aware of the intentions, but as they say, good intentions pave the road to hell. I think Liz is bang on. It's time to finish the bad guys off and stop dicking around with the drama and what each character will do REGARDLESS OF ITS IMPACT ON THE GAME. I, for one, have no desire to...

    Living with your decisions

    Seconded.

    Babies and Wet-Nurses: A Conversation

    Whew, lot's going on. I'm going to try and lay out my thoughts here in a semi-coherent manner. 1)The #1 goal is Tain's defeat. The war is paramount. If we lose, it doesn't matter if Jaine has 1, 100 or 0 heirs. Anything that takes away from bringing about victory is dangerous. It is not...

    Babies and Wet-Nurses: A Conversation

    Sorry, haven't been following this all that closely (been outta town and whatnot), but I hadn't realized we'd made a decision on this (it seems that way, at any rate) and would just like to pipe up Kaereth's wholehearted opposition to this plan. In his own words: <british accent> "Archonus...

    Flow Charts?

    I haven't read too many modules, but the few that I have (mostly Shadowrun adventures from 2nd Edition) included flow charts, which to my mind were relatively well put together. I think the main issue with flow charts is, as has been mentioned, maintaining the balance between preparation and...

    What type bug freaks you out? Most painful?

    I pretty much loathe insects of all kinds...something about my cricket and spider infested basement room when I was 6 in Nashville made a lasting impression... My mom also suffered a bite from a brown recluse when I lived in Tampa...no need for amputation but she was limping for a long time...

    Xath, can you drop GregoryBard from my game, he just contacted me and will not be able to make it. Thanks!

    RPG Collecting

    The only stuff I would say I collect is the old Robotech RPG (now OOP) and now (with Shadowrun 4th Edition on the horizon) SR3. My DM has so much d20 stuff that I feel no need to acquire any more for myself (save maybe MM1, if I ever want to run a D&D game) as my current needs are more than...

    Some people just have far too much money...

    Where does a 22 year old get $26,500 to blow on virtual land?? Wow.

    Ever weirded yourself out?

    Umm...I don't know that I've ever seriously creeped myself out, but I have surprised myself from time to time with the kinds of things I'll come up with. But I play Shadowrun and that setting sort of lends itself to a certain level of depravity...at least with one of my former groups... But...

    Buying for my imaginary gaming group.

    I sympathize. I feel the same way about a lot of my purchases, too. I have a great group here, but they're heavy into d20, whereas I like to play a wide variety (my favorite being Shadowrun) of different systems. I still have all my old Palladium Robotech RPG stuff (which I love and will...

    Group names

    You can read about the adventures of the "Circle of the Phoenix" from the link in my sig. :cool: Basically, the PCs have taken an Oath of Friendship to defeat the corrupt king of the Falcon Kingdom and put the rightful queen on the throne. We're currently nurturing the nascent Phoenix...
