In this week's bonus content for the Serenity Role Playing Game and the Cortex System rules, Twice-Pipe returns with more advice for would-be ship thieves. It's tricky business to steal a fellow's ride, and even more so to get away clean to re-sell or strip it for parts. Learn some advice for...

I think about .01% of people who engage in this activity spend even the tiniest bit of time thinking about that stuff. The rest just want the free PDFs now. You are overintellectualizing laziness and impatience. Cheers, Cam

No, you're still breaking the law, it's just that your reasons for doing so are because you're an obsessed geek. As opposed to a freedom of information radical or something. Cheers, Cam

Folks who illegally download PDFs of books from torrents and peer to peer networks aren't doing it to expand culture or express their indignation toward WotC or fight the power or any of that other smoke-blowing nonsense. They want their hawt loot books ASAP. It's all a short-sighted pursuit...

Content author Jason Durall brings us the conclusion of "The Other Twelve," a tool for Battlestar Galactica Game Masters to use an alternate group of Cylons so that their identity will be a surprise to a group of players who are fans of the television series. Here the "Four Who Live Among Us"...

In the spirit of 0-level adventurers of older editions, you shouldn't have to pick your class until after you've gone on a Treasure Hunt first. :) Cheers, Cam

This week's bonus game content for the Serenity Role Playing Game focuses on the mysterious and shadowy Tongs. Whether you're an enterprising soul daring to do business with them or a Game Master interested in working the organizations into a campaign, you'll be interested in the article which...

I just wanted to state here for the record that Chuck Norris is a Skrull. That is all. Cheers, Cam

Is this the final product, or a store promo version? I notice there's a letter slipped into the folio which no doubt says "please play this in the store." Is the final version also a folio? Cheers, Cam

I actually think "every generation there is a new major event/challenge" is a very appropriate summary, since that is more or less what's happened. I'm not sure this is such a bad thing, though, all things considered; the setting seems to work best when there's some kind of war, conflict, or...

I don't think it's fair to characterize Dragonlance as being constantly hit by Krynn Shattering Events. In terms of the history of the game line itself, there's only been one major world-changing event: the Chaos War, described in the Dragons of a Summer Flame novel. At the end of that, the gods...

Oh right, like I draw pictures of all of my ugly heroines. Cheers, Cam

She's totally ugly. I wanted to join the ranks of such fantasy luminaries as George RR Martin by having a heroic female character be gods-awful ugly. Actually, she's probably not THAT bad. My editor kept referring to her as "that Uma Thurman character." Compared to every other woman in fantasy...

Dragonlance does well when it's at war, or has war as a backdrop. It's high fantasy, but most of the magic is in the hands of the heroes and villains, not the commonfolk. I like to describe it as post-apocalyptic romantic fantasy, with strong moral overtones, a trifold pantheon, and humor...

Dragonlance was well supported by Margaret Weis Productions for 3.5, with 21 products that included sourcebooks, campaign adventures, map sets, and a DM's Screen. You can check it all out here. A great deal of this material was rules-independent background and adventure hooks, and the...

FS? What's that, fantasy setting? Cheers, Cam

Warlocks, more properly. Thorn Knights are pretty much warlocks, as was their prototype Ariakas. Their pact? With Takhisis, of course! Cheers, Cam

I agree. You can accomplish a lot with multiclassing feats and new powers or feats. I do wish the sorcerer were available now, however, so that I could figure out if it's indeed a primal class or something else. Druids and barbarians are apparently primal, although in DL all druids get their...

Mystics channel ambient magic, specifically ambient divine magic. Sorcerers are their counterparts. Where a sorcerer shapes and channels the elemental forces leftover from Creation, mystics draw on the forces that connect living things. A mystic needs some kind of emotional or spiritual...

Dragonlance: Mystic. They're not the same as clerics. For 3.5, we had mystics, nobles, mariners, masters, and eventually nightstalkers in Dragonlance. Most of those can be taken care of with 4e classes, but the mystic (and the nightstalker is a rogue with mystic multiclass feats) needs to be...
