    Torn Asunder--Like it? Using it?

    Question: How much complexity does it add to combat resolution? Can you provide an example on what happens if a player (or NPC) rolls a confirmed crit on an NPC\enemy (or player)? What about critical failures/fumbles?

    [CoC] What is it, exactly?

    It's a horror setting. Based in large part on the writings of H.P. Lovecraft (and others that contributed to the Lovecraft "Mythos"). Very fun. Dark and psychological. More role-playing oriented than combat oriented. The Chaosium vs. WotC thing is that there are two versions out. The...

    What online store to buy from?

    What's your local gaming store? NG? Compleat Strategist? I can understand a bit about Compleat Strategist. Don't they realize most gamers are, well, ahem.. a bit overweight? I've seen people get stuck in the aisles there. :) I've always had good experiences at NG though.

    What online store to buy from?

    I've ordered stuff from FRP (actually it was from eBay purchases) and never had any problem with them either.

    What online store to buy from?

    I've got to second the EN World Shop. Everything I've ordered from there has shipped extremely fast and is usually 10+% off MSRP. Amazon's good too and if it's something that they'll sell a bit of, you can get it at more than 10% off (20-30%). Not meaning to hijack your thread, but what...

    OK. My wife wants to play. So you've got two there. This is our first "non-kids" getaway in a long time too. We were supposed to go to Key West (without the kids) in June, but my oldest daughter broke her arm the night before we were supposed to leave.

    I got to tell you, I'm starting to get pretty psyched. This will be the first "real" con that my wife & I go to. Really looking forward to it. Meeting new people, playing with new players, etc. Buying tons of stuff I don't need in the dealer room. :D

    Well count me in. I'll find out if my wife is interested in playing and let you know tonight if it's going to be one or two.

    Not With a Bang OOC

    I think the pacing and progress is moving at a good clip. I don't think you need to be overly concerned about the railroading issue.

    4PM sounds ok. Just want to be done by 7:45 or so. Need to get to the LG Interactive at 8PM. Maybe we should start at 3PM, which is a standard "slot" time. I guess we should start seeing who's going to show up. Is the nametag thing still available? Also, how many people do you want to...

    Not With a Bang, I: Its Own Reward

    Grunlor Grunlor pathetically attempts to hide behind some brush and/or rocks (OOC: Hide: -6). He will attempt to subdue the goblin as it walks by. If he is spotted (and recognizes the fact), he will attack.

    "We should take it. It was offered to us, and won't take up much room in the saddlebag. If you are all ready, shall we then go find Nagahama?"

    Kore | Kingdom of Harmony | IC

    Tharl dons the coat and examines the banner. "Hmmm, Chen, do you think we are supposed to ride out with this unfurled behind us?" He readies his pack and looks at the others to see if they are prepared to leave. "Shall we take the steps to truly begin our journey?"

    Not With a Bang, I: Its Own Reward

    Grunlor "Inn or cave, it's all the same to me. We haven't been on the road so long as to make a stop at a village a necessity. I'll go along with whatever you all decide."

    Re: Re: jester47 has spoken! I had thought of that. I think we should keep somewhat separate threads though for this reason. The Suggestions & Selectors threads is for book suggestions and people to sign up as an editorial member. That thread should continue, through the various discussion...

    Kore | Kingdom of Harmony | OOC

    I'm having fun. Seems to be starting off a bit slow, but that's ok. Just want to make sure that everyone stays interested. The background is detailed and interesting. I like the tone. No complaints here. I think you're doing a good job.:) You can put away the helmet now.

    [EN World Book Club] Suggestions & Selectors

    Added the suggestions and volunteers. Tsyr, I didn't add "I, Robot" because although it's a related selection of short stories, it is a collection of short stories. For now at least, I think it's best if we limit the scope to novels. I don't want to set of a discussion of whether or not a...

    Kore | Kingdom of Harmony | IC

    Tharl looks at the map. "May we keep this?" Pausing for a moment, Tharl continues "My lord, has there been problems in the past in this area? And if I may ask, what kind of mines are there near Imazu?"
