    Cthulhu .... any advice on how to run it?

    The Lurker at the Threshold, a combination effort with Lovecraft and Derleth (I honestly don't know who did the most writing on it) is a really good story. Mankind manages to "win" in that one too.

    [OT] Dreams of Gygax

    I'm wondering if Hellchick had a dream about GG wearing studded leather pants or if our Col_Pladoh actually did so :) Maybe he will come online and tell us curious readers :)

    Cthulhu .... any advice on how to run it?

    Play by candlelight and finish every description with "muwahahahaha!" Whenever the players make a decision to do something, temple your fingers and say creepily, "Excellent" Chuckle whenever they buy weapons. When describing sounds, especially loud bangs, slam your hand on the table quickly...

    Everquest Suicide and Lawsuit

    My guess is the huge amount she did get from the jury was to attempt to "punish" McDonalds for thier reckless conduct in regards to coffee temperature. Its obvious they knew that it was too hot, but refused to change it. A huge amount like that (and the even more damaging news stories that...

    What I hate about A Song of Ice and Fire (Spoilers Ahead)

    Re: SPOILERS I agree with this. Its looking like that he is shaping up Jon to control a lot of things. I wouldn't be too surprised that before its done that Dany and Jon become the new king and queen of the Seven Kingdoms :)

    What I hate about A Song of Ice and Fire (Spoilers Ahead)

    Stephen King, the master of storytelling and killing off characters :) My favorite author, hands down, when it comes to fiction. I'll be surprised if the Gunslinger makes it to the Dark Tower without riding in a wheelchair. That guy has been through more pain than I care to imagine. (Still...

    What I hate about A Song of Ice and Fire (Spoilers Ahead)

    To each thier own... I loved the moral ambiguity in Song of Ice and Fire. I thought the books were some of the best fantasy writing around. I do have a request Son of Thunder, could you put a Spoiler warning in your post? If I had read that before I finished the series, I would have been...

    DotF Spell: Spikes

    Yeah, I've had a cleric that's been using this on a wooden maul since he was 5th level. Its a pain in the butt, but I allowed the spell. I guess I'll just have to get liberal with the Sundering and baddies using the same combo. Imagine, they get in a huge fight with a badass druid and at the...

    DotF Spell: Spikes

    I looked at it a bit ago (had to run home for lunch) and it just says that it gives +1 enhancement bonus (+2 for spikes). I thought that meant that it would work against DR?

    DotF Spell: Spikes

    You're right, its not that big a deal. I just thought the duration differences were interesting and wonder if one of them was a mistake. I'll double-check to see if it overcomes DR later tonight. (Don't have it at work myself)

    DotF Spell: Spikes

    The Defenders of the Faith spell, Spikes, is supposed to be exactly the same as the lower level spell, Brambles, except that it has a +2 enhancement bonus over +1. However, the spell durations are drastically different although the spells only differ by one level. Brambles is 1 round/level and...

    Not your father's Cyberpunk

    Re: my thoughts I loved the art for that game. Incredible stuff. Never had enough cards to really play it though. It went of print too quickly and I caught on too late.

    Peil's tubefood theory reminded me of this : Tank :Here you go, buddy; "Breakfast of Champions." Mouse: If you close your eyes, it almost feels like you're eating runny eggs. Apoc: Yeah, or a bowl of snot. Mouse: Do you know what it really reminds me of? Tasty Wheat. Did you ever eat Tasty...

    Not your father's Cyberpunk

    Kenjib- I can see us doing this kind of thing in the future, especially if global warming gets worse or overpopulation forces us to. mmmm flavored krill :) But in the sense of cyberpunk, I like the idea that Stephenson put forth with the accumulation of flotsam and jetsam (literally) forming a...

    Need a name for BIG monsters

    Gorgul is the first thing that came to my mind. well, actually, Voltron was first, but I figured that would bring back 80's cartoon flashbacks.

    Not your father's Cyberpunk

    The floating city idea was in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. The main bad guy was enormously rich and bought a surplus Aircraft Carrier. Folks just kept lashing and welding other boat to it until it formed a huge floating city.

    Not your father's Cyberpunk

    I was pretty happy with Shadowrun's setting. I liked the magic and fantasy elements. I just wish the game mechanics didn't suck so bad.
