Good luck to you too. It ended upa LOT shorter thenI would like, but I had writers block beyond all belief, so I'm happy to just have something.

Election by Sage, a.k.a. MacBeth, for Round one, Match one Jamis watched the audition for the next President of the United States of America from the front row of an abandoned theatre. A bloated homeless woman, probably carrying a menagerie of diseases, stretched in front of the Powers That Be...

Crud. I had a hell of a time writing this, the worst writer's block I've ever had. Felt like a cork in my brain, keeping all the good ideas in. But I want to make some kind of effort, so here it is: I hope I can at least provide some people some good reading.

I'm actually not sure if I'll make it with a full story... I just can't write these pictures for the life of me.

Let's see. October looks pretty good, except for October 21, which I have off from School, and is part of our 'Homecoming' weekend. Unfortunately, I think the next couple of weekends are looking bad. Sept 23rd I'll be leaving for Flagstaff for rugby, and Sept 30th I already planned a bonfire...

Any time works for me, though having a Friday in it would be best.... So I'd prefer starting Tuesday evening or later.

Aw, what the heck, sign me up. I may not have an Undergrad Degree in a Liberal Arts topic (CS major), but I am taking Creative Writing. At a Tech school. Yeah, put that in your pipe and smoke it. ;) (My creative writing course is a joke as compared to what I've learned from Ceramic DM)

I agree that Paranoia i all about the setup. Let the PCs wite the punchline, so to speak. One of my favorite adventures from Flashbacks (a very good book, by the way) is a short adventure near the beggining of the book. Basically, it puts the PCs in a room with a broken robot that may or may...

I think I'm one of the people getting less XP at this point, since I've missed a few sessions, but it really doesn't bother me. I think I'm a ways behind the party (Deigh is 6th level, or at least has the XP to train to that level, from my notes), but that doesn't bother me. Eevrybody has been...

I've never played Mage before, but this new edition has me more interested then any pervious incarnation... So I have to ask, from anybody familiar with both systems: How does Mage stack up to Ars Magica?

Maybe it's because Scots are cool? Honestly, I don't know if there's a real reason, but if you need a basis for a society of clans that drink a lot, are angry, and are legendary warriors, the Scots seem as good as any...

My top 5: 5. Mike's character getting knocked out by the pig, only to have Chaka give him an animated tatoo on the back of his head of the pig knocking him out. 4. The chase scene into Delve. 3. Meta-game-ish, but the hover-deer conversation. 2. Li refusing to surender and face trial...

Update on Goals: Long Term: Remove the Roisin Curse Defeat or Banish Sammael Medium Term: Find some quest (or quests) to undertake to gain the notice of the good gods Recover the relic of Pter Short Term: Get into the goblin tunnels and get a hostage to interogate Save anybody who is being...

Well, things are still a little crazy around here. My car it still wonkey, no news form the shop (apparently they get very busy with new students driving into town), and so this Friday is looking unlikely... If I here differently, I'll post. ON the other hand, I'm finally catching up online, so...

Speaking of preorders, is there any chance that the Delver's Guild (or whatever that 'preorder club' is called) will offer downloads of the already-released PDFs that come on the CD (Banwarrens and Chaositech) ahead of the full release date for Ptolus? I'm really interested in looking into these...

Ordered mine a few days ago, even though I originally misread the last day for getting the perorder goodies as ebing June 30th 2005. Luckily, I figured out my misatke, and now I'm even happier with my purchase... or at least the purchase I'm slowly making. :) Sure, it's a big ticket item, but...

Yeah, I've been finding more and more, but most of those are relatively easy to exclude/edit. The Arcanist relies on theirs, while the others can be reasonably excluded (or converted).

You know, that may be the single most simple answer I've seen, and that makes it great. No need for added rolls or extra book keeping, for the most part. I assume that the Arcanist would not be able to exceed his 'Mana Pool'? So after a certain amount of time, he just can't absorb any more...

I've been thinking about this some more, and I've started to have a basic idea work out: Mana tokens are gained at a certain rate, based on the action taken by the Arcanist, much like an Archer's Aim Tokens. However, this tokens also disappear at a given rate (parhaps tied to the Arcanist's...

I'm loving Iron Heroes so far. Got it yesterday, and I've read a good bit so far. I'm happy to be rid of x/day abilities, replacing them with tokens. Problem is, there's still one ability that relys on a daily alotment: the Arcanist's Mana. I'm not happy with this, all the other classes do such...
