    Did Anybody Ever Play "Space Opera?"

    Yes, but only the DM knew the game. He kept our sheets and when we went to do something he would call for a series of rolls unlike any I had ever seen, mumbling all of the while "ok, location, vs armor type, vs armor damage reduction, dodge chance..." I never saw the complete rules, but we...

    IF a PDFs of the 3 core books were leaked, would you:

    Currently I have no intention of buying 4e at all. My group tried the preview games and the 4e-lite book and our reaction was between disappointed and utterly horrified. I would download and read them through to see if perhaps the full rule set has enough changes in it to earn my money.

    Pre 4e books: your best and worst

    Restricting it to 3.5 books that I own: Best: Eberron Campaign Setting or Sharn: City of Towers Both are filled with great ideas and hooks. On their own they are two of the best books I've read. Together they are a one-two punch that rules all. Worst: DMG I don't use it. Ever. Magic items...

    How to meet gamers?

    I've found them on the wizards boards and meetup. I've not had any luck here on ENWorld.

    Grappling with Grappling

    Grapple has been a pain in the arse. The only time we've used them is with one pc who was a warforged fighter with Improved Grapple, Spiked Body, Jaws of Death, and a freakish strength. We called him the meat grinder. But again, if your character or monster is built for it, you win. If not...

    From the pdf I just purchased, I don't see a watermark.

    Sinister Adventures LLC - A New Gaming Company is Born

    Nick, I've been a big fan of your work since I tormented and confused my players with Chimes. Here's to hoping you'll find a way to slide some gritty urban adventures in various unnamed magitech worlds. :) One copy of Blood Waters = bought and paid for Thanks!

    Bionic Woman

    Sorry, I edited my list to show the Knight Rider tv movie, which is what I meant. V could be really good...frankly I'd like to see someone like HBO take a crack at this. The resistance angle could be simlar to BSG on New Caprica. HBO could add a layer to this that couldn't be done on...

    Speed Racer

    They did the right thing in the style of this film, I think...you have to go hyper-surreal. Any attempt to do this realistically would just fall flat on its face. That said, I'm undecided.

    Bionic Woman

    Of the 70s/80s SciFi reboots, this is how I'd rate them: 1. Battlestar Galactica - wonderfully done 2. Terminator: Sara Connor Chronicles - pretty good 3. Bionic Woman - good moments, bad moments, but mostly just "ok" TV 4. Knight Rider tv movie - Not good, but some nostalgia fun 5. Flash...

    How do you create setting maps if you can't draw?

    I've done the same as Hejdon...use google maps or google earth to find a coast line or island I like. Then I copy that into the Gimp or paint.net, trace the outline, and color or adjust it until I like it. It's taken a while to get good at it, but I'm really starting to like my results...

    Jedis Deflecting Blaster Bolts

    I cringe now watching the original trilogy because of all of the continuity errors that the prequels caused, Obi-wan's age being just one of them.

    Jedis Deflecting Blaster Bolts

    My 3 year old watches the original trilogy about 4 times a week, so I've re-memorized them. Yes, I'd say that in Star Wars the drone shots are absorbed by Luke's lightsaber. The first time we really see it is in RotJ. And power creep isn't just something that applies to 4e...the Jedi went from...

    News Site Public Beta Test

    What is supposed to happen after you submit a scoop? I added one then tried to edit my scoops and saw nothing. A bit more information: Firefox 3 Beta 4 Windows XP SP2 My scoop did not appear on the front page (should it?) and then when I went to edit it I was told that I had no scoops to edit.

    Other adventure types than Dungeon Crawling

    I've tried to do a number of them. Many urban adventures (Chimes at Midnight, Dragon #133 is a good example) involving mystery and intrigue. I've done airship battles, being hunted through a forest by a dragon, battles atop a lightning rail (Eberron), pirate ship to ship battles... Speaking...

    D&D 4E Eberron: The Artificer in 4e...

    Sadrik - sliding further off topic here...what you seem to want is a steampunk warforged, which would be cool but isn't at all what the warforged are. Consider that most of their body is made of wood, with minor bits of added metal and stone as armor. They are closer to ents than the tinman...

    D&D 4E Eberron: The Artificer in 4e...

    The artificer is in a tough place because it not only is a class first conceived within 3.5, but a class that exists only in a meta-state of 3.5. It is a class built on gaps in the rules, rather than a true iconic image. I think it will be an arcane leader, using buffs and repairs to help the...
