I have to agree with LightPhoenix; I was about ready to drop the show last season. It was so formulaic that it was driving me nuts; it seemed like nearly every episode was done by filling in the blanks in a template script. This season has been much more interesting. I especially liked the...

Is that anything like the one Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman wrote? :p

I think he wrote a bunch of adventures for Dungeon magazine; he was also editor-in-chief for Dungeon for a while. His credits are here.

Darkness, Take My Hand -- one of Dennis Lehane's comedic, cheery, upbeat Kenzie & Gennaro stories. Some of those adjectives may be wrong.

...But really really Kostchtchie. He's really more of a :rant: kind of guy than a :devil: kind of guy.

On whatever BBS or ISP system I first signed up for, I tried to use "coyote", but it was taken. The PCs in my all-time favorite campaign (which I was a player in at the time) were an ad hoc special ops team with the call sign "Coyote", and I always liked Wile E. & the trickster. My character in...

Yeah, I decided to cap blasphemy at CL20 for any villains that are fighting non-epic PCs; otherwise, it's not much fun, IMO. Standing Stone also foreshadows another villain from Bastion, the Cathezar.

This Is Not A Game, Walter Jon Williams.

As Cor_Malek said -- make 'em hand-wraps. Or hand & foot wraps, with bonus headband. ;)

Even better: the average human's heavy load is 100 lbs, and the average male's weight is 175 lbs. The average halfling's heavy load is 60 lbs, and average weight is 35 lbs. Think of what that muscle-to-mass ratios implies about how a halfling can move. Slap 25 lbs of armor on, and he's still...

Note that the ring of three wishes essentially costs 32,500 gp per wish. This is character creation, so for the periapt, you'd be spending 32.5k to get a 27k magic item. If you want to risk going beyond the explicit limits of the wish spell, I'd suggest wishing to be protected from your fellow...

Ray of dizziness is 3rd level, FWIW, and is a mind affecting Enchantment/Compulsion. So, if a save reduced it to one round, it would be pretty bad as a third level spell -- compared to slow, it would trade multiple targets & auto-hit to be a single target, touch attack to get one guaranteed...

I would have had GURPS 4e go with a skill system that was less finely delineated; something with broader skills would be my preference. Or, even better, some kind of "telescoping" skill system that let you pick how detailed you wanted to be (you can do it a little, between Wild Card skills or...

Myself, when GW 4e came out, I was simply playing other games -- we had gotten into GURPS a couple of years before, and were playing lots of it; then there was SR, WoD, etc. I don't think I was following TSR at all at that point, so I'm not sure I even knew there was a 4e. With 5e, I didn't...

I wonder if the random card form factor isn't in part a bit of anti-piracy? The (presumably) nicely made cards they publish are likely to be better quality (or cheaper to get) than home-made printouts of pirated scans -- and since the packs are random, any would-be scanners will have to go to...

Congratulations += 1. As a wedding gift, we'll try not to have any edition wars while you're gone. :)

I think it was 2e we played, though I have the one with the color coded chart. We didn't play it a lot; there was one ongoing campaign that I played at the local library, and it was tons of fun. I don't remember how many sessions it actually lasted, though. I'd say it was medium-wahoo; we had...

I have a bunch . . . in my car. But I have Omnihedron handy . . .

With that roll, I wouldn't go out tonight. Especially not anywhere near anything bird-ish.

9. Yeah, that's the kind of day it's been.
