What's anime got to do with Invader Zim? I think it might have been animated by Koreans, but so is the Simpsons... ;) --Impeesa--

Eh, wouldn't be a big leap. RPGNow is only one "randomly selected package deal" away from selling booster packs. With an afternoon of coding on their part, you could - right now - go buy a booster of PDFs and crack open something like: common - One Dozen Magic Cufflinks The Complete Ten-Page...

My favorite was from a Robotech game - we once got into a barfight at The Flying Neuroses. :D --Impeesa--

I'll have to look that up, I've only got a single song of theirs that someone else sent me. If you like that stuff, do look up some Mudmen sometime, they're great. I'm assuming you haven't already heard of them, I think their first album (of two so far) sold maybe 7000 copies, mostly in Canada...

Hehe. I've had one of those. Two different Alternity games: One is a group of hardass, heavily armed, very violent people (two of us had body tanks and extremely heavy weapons) in a parallel-dimension-travelling Sliders-ish game. Inappropriate-dude wants to use the FX rules to make a magic...

Well, this summer I've changed the pace a bit... last two years I was an instructor at a summer science camp, now I'm working in the machine room at a pulp mill. It's not the most interesting work, but for a student the pay is damn good. ;) The machine room is basically the end of the line where...

You say you like both of these? Different tastes, I guess - it's quite possible I like the second better than the original, but I find Avril's version quite painful to hear. :/ Original was a great song, useful as a 'trump song' for driving other annoying tunes out of your head. I have an a...

Unfortunately, all the article had to say on that one was a very short blurb: "A brain-dead RPG inspired by the TV series. What sends this down the toilet isn't just the skimpy system (four - count 'em - pages of rules), but the notion that anybody'd actually be interested in playing characters...

Haha. I still have a well-thumbed old issue of InQuest with an article about crappy games of all kinds. In with Synnibarr, Campaign for North Africa, and others was Aftermath. Their opinion: "It ain't gonna be nuclear radiation that kills the survivors of World War III, they're gonna bore...

Steal the Burning Legion from Warcraft. They're an interplanar demonic horde that consumes whole worlds. They are attracted to exceptionally powerful sources of magic, like Azeroth (the world of Warcraft), or a party of 100th level PCs. The party could wipe out whole legions of the Legion at...

We can always make a single 5' step during our turn. Normally, you can't actually do this if you've made a regular move, etc. I just noticed this a little while back, and so far I've, uh... forgotten to bring it up with the DM. ;) --Impeesa--

Yes, only a dwarf twisted by the powers of darkness would be stopped at an airport security check with a tinfoil-wrapped cucumber in his pants. --Impeesa--

Resurrect, indeed. An ordinary Raise Thread won't get something that's been dead that many years. ;) --Impeesa--

Man.... Alternity was great, so great that it's the best classless, level-less system I've ever tried - high praise for a game with classes and levels. ;) --Impeesa--

Just play Alternity. Or at least, that's how we used to play it... ;) --Impeesa--

To all those who absolutely despise powergamers: are you trying to say, then, that you would greatly prefer having players whose thought processes run something like this? "Boy, that [feat/prc/whatever] looks like it would be just perfect for making my character better at...

As an added bonus, anyone close enough to see you shed pounds and Cherenkov radiation is already dead if they're not shielded somehow. :) Okay, maybe that isn't a bonus.. depends how much you like your coworkers. --Impeesa--

Bingo. The Scorching Ray-blasting Artificer can get a lot scarier than what you see here, without breaking any rules. The Artificer can also be similarly scary at buffing, using skills, and so on. He will also expend significant time and material resources to do so. The Artificer is strong not...

Hm.. I think I'd have to disagree. I only skimmed the article, but it seemed to be about quantum entanglement. That gives us a system like others are discussing here, a "disassemble and make a duplicate" sort of thing (which suffers from the continuity problem.... wee). This is useless for...

To the original poster: before even worrying about counting carbs, check into your eating schedule. As you've mentioned, it's hard to keep a good schedule doing shiftwork - I know, I'm doing 12-hour shifts this summer (sets of 2-3 shifts with 2-3 days off in between, alternating days and...
