    Chaka Dembe ka Ora

    When I was in Glasgow, I went onboard the Glennlee, a late 19th century sailing ship. It's a little late time period for our game, but it gave me some ideas. In particular, there was an exhibit on knots. Apparently, knots where used as an art form among sailors, with some truly fantastic knot...

    How Mythusmage Would Change D&D for 4th Edition if Wizards Hired Him

    So, basically, a character from an organization gets some special abilities, spends some extra time training (possible including some roleplaying action, special tasks, or an XP penalty), and can be compared to a character of a higher level? This sounds like a Prestige Class to me. Consider...

    What's your favourite movie soundtracks?

    There's only two movies soundtracks that I really like: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Garden State Garden State has the Shins, Postal Service, and a bunch of other great music (including the only good Froo Froo song). Oh Brother, Where Art Thou just has such a great feel to it, with some great...

    Overdue realisations: Are you a dummy?

    Heck, forget about the TV shows, just listen to his music. Has Been is a suprisingly decent CD, if you can put up with some spoken word. Self-referential humor too...

    Overdue realisations: Are you a dummy?

    Marvel's 1602 series makes the FF/elemental parallel very explicit. Great series to boot. As for other revelations I was a bit late on... I didn't get the end of 2001 the first time I saw it. Or the second time, for that matter... Oh wait, I still don't get it. I get the book, but the end of...

    Call of Cthulhu- which version should I buy?

    I like the d20 version. I have some experience with both, but I only own the d20. In my opinion, the contrast of gaining levels while loosing sanity makes a great game. Sure, your character makes definite progress, gaining HP and such, but there's really no stopping the loss of Sanity, so it's...

    Firefly - I think I'm starting to get it *spoilers*

    Both the Engine INtake in Train Job and the hostage situation in Serenity stood out to me as being very much like a PLayer Character. The audience feels like the GM: expecting the PCs to have to negotiate with the hostage taker, or expecting to have created a recurring villian. Then the PCs come...

    Returning to the campaign

    Wait, do you really mean 'every other week?' As in play one friday, take the next one off? Then Agents of the Gods once a month? So it would look something like: 1st week: Primaries/Secondaries 2nd week: Agents of the Gods 3rd week: Primaries/Secondaries 4th Week: Off Of course 2 and 4 could...

    Game?

    I'll be back in Socorro next Sunday (the 21st?) and I may be able to make the Friday after that. I'll see how classes are going once I get back and post again with amore definate answer...

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

    Wow, I thought about posting an ENWorld Worldcon thread, but never got around to it. Too bad. I'm actually at the Last day of the Con now, having a great time (found some awesome dice, among other things), and I lvoe Glasgow, wonderful city. Leaving for LOndon tomorrow. I'll have to check out...

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

    I'd say after. I'm going to be in Glassgow and then London starting tomorrow through Aug 14th, and then I have to move back to school before the 21st. For me, after GenCon is certainly better.

    Iron Heroes - I have it in my hands!

    Disclaimer: I don't have the book, so this is some speculation. Just a +1 Sword? No, not really. If you start to give him potions, magic armor, magic whatsits, etc., then he becomes too powerful. When it comes down to it, a +1 is just doing 1 point of damage more then a masterwork sword...

    Whew. I enjoyed judging a lot, thanks to everybody for giving me the chance to give something back to Ceramic DM.

    Iron Heroes - I have it in my hands!

    Wow. Just wow. Why must there be more d20 games I want? Ah well, thanks for the info. This is sounding more and more like something I want.

    Firefly: Must-See Episodes

    Really? But I thought he was in the first preview they realeased. Is there at least someone that looks like him? Cause in that first preview there's somebody that I could have sworn was him. Sorry to mislead anybody, I really thought Early was in the movie. In case you haven't figured it out...

    Firefly: Must-See Episodes

    Pilot. It gets you all the basic background, and the rest of the series will be hard to understand without it. Out of Gas. Flashbacks give you some background on the rest of the crew. Object in Space. The bounty hunter (whatshisname?) makes an appearance in the movie, and it's just a really...

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

    I don't really have anybody to roll my work too, I'm kind of a dead end for work. I'm the low man on the totem pole, so it doesn't roll any further. But I'm getting it done now.

    Stupid=Not what the GM wants
