Re: Musings on Random Musings
I think I can cover it. Unless you wanna wait 'til just after midnight, and then post one? We're what -- six, seven hours ahead of the eastern seaboard, anyway.
Re: Question: Must I model everything I own?
I don't GM Superheroic, but I'd say that things that you expect to use with some regularity should be bought with points. Arms, armor . . . For a SF campaign, towels . . .
And on a similar note -- a basic house isn't a base. The converted abandoned subway station underneath it -- that's a base.
Re: Legend of the 5 rings
. . . Kudos = "They should be honored," basically. I think it's Latin.
And I know Storn has done an illustration of a L5R character, so chances are he's given a conversion some thought.
Re: The Last Word
. . . See . . . Entropy can be both "chaos" or "disorder" and "heat" . . . It's one of those, y'know, puns . . .
Anyway, I thought it was clever . . .
But anyhoo, blankets and quilts are needed to make a home!
Re: Martial arts
. . . Penalty Skill Levels in Sweep and HTH Rapid Attack will let you possitively wade through mooks! But on the other hand, serious opponents will become so much harder . . .
Re: Turakian Priestly END Reserves?
Thanks, guys. Now I've got a few ideas to play with . . . I like the idea of the prayer beads. Plus, it would only recharge at dawn, during prayer to Ophel . . .
Yes . . . Hmm . . .
. . . What should they be like? The TA says that all spellcasters can have personal END Reserves, and the image that comes to mind is a Wizard with his staff, or a Sorcerer with a medallion. But what would a Priest use? His holy talisman? I somehow feel uneasy about the whole concept, but I can't say why . . .
Re: Underwater Pyramids.
. . . What is the name of that journalist fellow who sees the Constellation Draco in the Angkor Wat and Leo in the Sphinx of Giza? Sounds so annoyingly reasonable I wanna haul off and punch him . . .
Re: Shield Walls
. . . Speaking of Roman legions: What of the famed battle formation Testudos -- the tortoise? How to write that one out? It's an extreme version of a shield wall, granted . . .
Edit: Found a WikiPedia article . . .
Re: Shield Walls
. . . As a knee-jerk reaction, I'd give a +1 to DCV flat-out. The lack of leaping about is more than made up for in the neighbors' shields.
