    Everybody needs a hobby, I guess... ;)

    Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus Group B)

    Kantris turns to Verosh. "I think your theory is correct. Something was conjured or summoned into this area, with a fairly powerful spell." He examines the door again, thoughtfully. "But why bash the door out?" he asks of no one in particular. "If our killers were inside, and summoned...

    Scientists find fossil of enormous bug

    Yeah, they wouldn't need to be super-strong if they can drag you into the water to drown... I think it would be fun to run a one-shot game, with the PCs as the survivors of a plane crash in the Everglades, or Louisiana Bayou country or something. They get hunted by the critters, have to...

    Scientists find fossil of enormous bug

    That's a pretty serious bug. I wonder how strong something like that would be. A colony of these things in some remote swamp would be great fodder for a horror/sci-fi game.

    Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus Group B)

    Kantris nods at Verosh's question and passes his hand before his face. His eyes glow faintly for a moment and be begins slowly prowling the scene, scrutinizing everything carefully. OOC: Cast Detect Magic and start prowling around the scene, looking both for residual magic auras and anything...

    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#32)---11/19/07-'Cautionary Tales'

    I hope West joins up with Adam just so we can call the team Adam/West. "To the batcave!"

    Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus Group B)

    Kantris approaches the damaged door cautiously and raises a hand to gently touch one of the broken hinges. As he does, a tiny snout with bristling whiskers pokes out from his sleeve and sniffs the cold metal before darting back into the warmth of the wizard's heavy wool coat. He looks over the...

    Fantasy book covers

    But you have to admit most of the art was irredeemably bad. I find it amusing that the books run the gamut from great, classic sci-fi to complete schlock, all united in their use of really really bad cover art.

    Doctor Who - Discussion Thread for The Game of Rassilon

    I should think so. It's very lonely there at the moment. :)

    Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

    That's pretty sweet. I've heard people refer to this thing as broken/overpowered. Deuce, are you OK with us buying them? It actually doesn't seem that out of line to me (three weakened CMW a day for a 10th-level character).

    Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

    I'm unfamiliar with that gadget. What's the cost/effect?

    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#32)---11/19/07-'Cautionary Tales'

    Ok. He's back. No big surprise (I was certain of it when Bob took some of Claire's blood). Of course that means they'll still have to grab Claire to fix Niki (Nikki? whatever). And yes, people in movies and TV in general are constantly pulling back revolver hammers, working the slide on...

    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#32)---11/19/07-'Cautionary Tales'

    Yeah, he's already making "This is my fate" noises. I have to say I'm getting a little tired of the whole "time travel can't actually change anything" bit. I think it would be better if Hiro somehow lost his time travel ability and just stuck to teleporting and kicking butt with his sword...

    "Did you pack Mr. Muggles' doggy bath?" Best line evar! :) Yet another reminder (as if we needed it) that you do NOT mess with Noah Bennett.

    Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus Group B)

    Kantris' cold regard softens noticeably as he realizes the depths of Yarek's ailment. He takes a step toward the old man and mumbles, "Yes, my lord, thank you," as he takes a mint from the plate and leaves the room in obvious discomfort.

    Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

    Sorry to be triple-posting but I'm catching up from the week-end. Deuce: I have read through the Ptolus players' guide but that's about all I know of the setting. I get the impression that Raise Dead and similar spells should be available to high-level adventurers like our victims. Is that a...

    Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus Group B)

    Kantris doffs his wide-brimmed leather hat as the group make their way into the house. He silently regards Yarek Nagel as the noble speaks, his only reaction a quirked eyebrow at the man's apparently casual attitude toward the entire affair. As Verosh responds, Kantris sidles up to him and...

    Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

    I like the "three ring circus" idea. I have a couple grand left in my starting fund. Maybe I'll invest in an actual ring of some kind that we acquired on that adventure... Hmm...

    Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

    Kantris does have a familiar (an as-yet-unnamed weasel) but there's no reason you couldn't pretend to be my familiar as well. Anybody well-informed enough to realize wizards don't generally have two familiars will also realize a chimp is probably not a real familiar anyway. :)

    Doctor Who - The Colour of Fear

    OOC: Cool. We'll try to forge on. Jane turns expectantly to her new acquaintances, then turns completely around, looking for the older man who seemed to have vanished. "Umm," she says uncertainly to Wesley. "Where did your friend get off to?"
