On the lower right UI, where the formation, rest and so forth buttons are, is a tab with a d20 on it. Open that, and you can get feedback on the various actions in the game. Clicking on blue words like 'hits' will give you a breakdown of the mods and rolls involved in that attack. I've also...

Alongside going over it with the player, keep an eye on the rest of the party's alignments. A party with a strong Chaotic and/or Neutral bent can make it very hard to be a Paladin, and you might aim to loosen the restrictions to keep the Paladin from weighing down the party - or to keep the...

I sorta provide free will. But... - Going off to do something I haven't prepared for is likely to result in a rather poor game. - The party has to stay together, since I don't have time to run a game for one PC that decided to wander away, as well as the rest of the party. Other than that, I...

Yes. I will be playing Homeworld 2 as soon as I can manage with rapidly dwindling funds :D Even on the lowest settings, the visuals are still very nice (in fact, I'm not even sure I noticed a difference between high and low detail...) and the game plays smoothly on my system (not quite what is...

Logan's Run, the deranged robot in the ice caves. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a movie person anymore, and don't really have any quotes to throw out there.

I don't think I've met any gamer who was truly non-stereotypical. I know I am completely stereotypical, as are a couple of others in my group. But some don't fully fit the mold.

I can't see a mob occuring on any world, save perhaps the most backwater, anti-Jedi/Republic world on the Outer Rim. Nobody is really sure what a Jedi is capable of, and even at the best of times, I suspect that caused more than a little fear in most people. I think it would take a great deal...

I like it. It's certainly an amusing game. However, I find that it only *looks* less complicated than the original Tropico. It's still very easy to see your island go spinning out of control, due to having no money, or no wood, or angry pirates (because they demand a *lot* of buildings to stay...

I really can't think of anything that was actually just plain bad. My 'worst' would have to go to the Hero Builder's Guide, even though I do find it handy. It just doesn't have a huge amount of really useful material; the tables and name lists are okay, but nothing amazing. Still, it's handy...

Simcity 4 Earth and Beyond Diablo II: Lord of Destruction Tropico 2 Waiting for Homeworld 2 and The Sims 2. Both look like they are going to be excellent games.

And I think there are SSDs that have superlasers in either the books or comics. I know they are used in this one online game I play in, and I've seen references to various sources.

As I recall, there are some in Power of the Jedi. But, canonically speaking, I don't think there are any in the NJO, or at least I've never heard of any. Indeed, one trainee Jedi of the period had her arm cut off in a training duel, if I remember correctly. Unless you opt to go for...

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure this solves the problem. It just risks making the Jedi PC the one that gets dragged around, and is still hard to justify for a long-term campaign. Basically, you just can't have adventuring non-Jedi and duty-bound Jedi in the same party without some very good...

I'm not an experienced SW player, but I can't see how an all-Jedi party would cause problems. There is enough room within the Jedi archetype to allow for many different characters. Having run a short game of SWD20, and knowing the perks that Jedi have, it even seems like an all-Jedi party would...

I'm from a little bit west, in Spruce Grove.

I don't see any problem with just leaving them dead. Especially if you are switching to another campaign (unless it's similar enough/ in the same world), it may actually be best to make new characters. As the entire party died, unless you have allies and people looking out for/ waiting for you...

My group is the same way. Asking what they (and, I must admit, what I) want from a game is a nearly futile exercise. The most you can generally get is a 'whatever works'. Half the time, even that is hard to draw out of them. I too think, in the end, that they really only want the action, the...

And yet, regardless of alignment, people will still play their character as they see fit. Being LG doesn't mean that a character has to behave that way all the time, nor does it mean he can't become something else (even if it seems to be entirely out of character; people *do* change for...

I would have to agree that he can go either way, and have to say that it is ultimately up to the player in question. Being LG doesn't make him a pinnacle of Goodness and justice. It just says that has proven to be a Good person with Orderly (Lawful) means of going about his life; even Paladins...

I would tell my players to be quiet and get back on topic. Ideally patiently (if sometimes forcefully), but such things can be frustrating. If I find I keep having to do this, over and over, I'll simply close my books and end the session. I'm simply not interested in fighting for people's...
