    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    But he said it was a product... will we be able to buy our own caffiene-powered robots? Or play a d20 caffiene-powered robot RPG?

    Hulk 2 rumors

    I actually liked Lee's directing. Call me crazy, but all those fades and such made it feel MORE like a comic to me. Just like page transitions and the move from frame to frame...

    The real question is "Will Ang Lee Direct again?"

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    A bit disappointed by the lack of PLanescape, but hey, I still can't wait to see it.

    Amazon.com and release dates

    That's cool, but it seems that their base price is only $26 and change anyway. :) A lot cheaper then most pirces I've seen. May have to order it after all...

    If you were to add rolling for damage to True20...

    1d20 + 5 + Damage Bonus = Save DC for Touchness/Damage/Whatever save. I believe Mutants and Masterminds actually had a sidebar to this effect. On average your damage will be the same (15 + Damage Bonus), but it will vary A LOT. If you want your damage weighted towards the average, 2d10 + 5 +...

    Not really sure what this is about

    What is the air speed of an unladen swallow?

    True20 and Modern Games

    Thta's a really good idea. Especially for your 'average Joe' the choice of feats and skills is what really determines who you are. Only 'extraordinary' people (PCs and Named NPCs) will ever have access to real action-oriented combat training or magic. You could even argue that your standard...

    The Radicals - Monkey Business (Updated July 6th)

    The dust settled in hangar B1. Templar dusted off his coat. "So they got away with what they wanted. All we managed to do was wreck the support?" Yes. Without Bob's whirlwind to hold them down, I couldn't hold him. "Well, it wasn't my fault, Templar needed help." "Enough!" Templar thought for...

    Those have to be some of me favorite CDM pictures ever. Military Chicken... CRazy guys in black-and-white... Love 'em.

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    Huh. And here I was, thinking that Iron Heros was it. Well, I don't subscribe to Dragon, so I don't know, but I look forward to somebody enlightening me.

    Realism Headache

    For the same general reason, I;ve taken to running Superhero games in Freedom City. At first< I liked the idea of throwing the players into the DC or Marvel universe (or even the Wildstorm universe or the Crossgen universe), but the minute you go into one of those every on eof my players would...

    Perhaps for the 'Fixer type that's been tossed around what you really need are 'Anti-feats' that can be taken to make a class weaker in exchange for a bonus feat. So you don't want a Scientist with at least one good physical save? Take an Anti-feat that looks something like this: Weak Stomach...

    The Radicals - Monkey Business (Updated July 6th)

    We're using Mutants and Masterminds, which has worked fairly well so far. Combat with this group is a real blast. Just wait for a few more updates to see one of the most creative takedowns I've ever seen in a game. It's something vaguely outside the rules, but so superhero-y that I just had to...

    Magic of Incarnum... hmm...

    Well, I'll wait a bit before if I decide to buy it or not, but the basic premise (WotC does something new and differnt) sounds interesting. New spellcasting machanic... round by round mechanic... amybe you have a certain allocation of points, which you can redistribute between different abilites...

    Ceramic DM - Spring 2005 (Late Bloomer) - We have a winner.

    My comments (and judgement, if needed) for Match 4 have been sent. Nice stories, all around. I've been very impresed with round one, not a single story has been bad. Some had flaws, but all were still a joy to read.

    The Radicals - Monkey Business (Updated July 6th)

    Bob stopped by the river. Even when moving at a few hundred miles per hour, it was still fairly calm, with the downtown area visible on the other bank. It wal almost enough to make him want to slow down, but Bob never really slowed down. He grabbed a huge handful of mud from the bank and ran...

    The Radicals - Monkey Business (Updated July 6th)

    The scene at ASTRO labs was exactly what Templar was looking for: a fight. Bob was already impatiently waiting with Blink and Flashback, who was in the form of a fairly awkward bird, when Mr. Black and Templar pulled up in Templar's car. "What's the situation?" Mr. Black orderd as he steped...

    The Radicals - Monkey Business (Updated July 6th)

    The basment was not a heroic place to be. Templar had rented it under his buisness name, John Ascariot, and now the heros were metting there for the first time. "So. Do we have anything to do, or is E.T. going to have us pass out flowers to make the world a better place?" Templar said with his...
