Re: Order of the Stick I was thinking, since Hero now has a licensed game based on PS238, and since the early OotS strips were so heavily d20 based, wouldn't it be ironic if HERO got the OotS RPG license? It would be a natural since it has so many fans here.

Re: Analysis of the Red-Shirt Phenomenon in Star Trek I'm sorry SW, but I think you're missing the point... This isn't about an exhaustively researched analytic of the percentage of red-shirt deaths in ST:TOS; it's an example of an analytic and how one would present such an analytic. In the cited web-site, he talks about how PowerPoint would not be an appropriate vehicle to show this kind of data, and shows an example of how he feels it would be better represented. In fact, his first sentence is: In other words, this isn't a page devoted to analyzing how many red-shirts die in a typical ST ep; instead, it's devoted to showing profs how they can use something students might recognize (such as ST, and the Red Shirt Phenomenon) to teach them something (in this case, Web Analytics).

Re: Order of the Stick That would indeed be funny. I found this Monday's strip very thought-provoking.

Re: Order of the Stick Wow, not to resurrect a thread that seems dead, but this battle has not turned out the way that I (and apparently Oddhat above me) was expecting. I am eagerly anticipating tomorrow's strip. My kudos to Rich Burlew for giving us this incredible story.

Re: Alternate System: Size Stat Actually, Chris, not to be a bugbear, but I've noticed one small, insignificant mathematical error on one of your tables. I'm speaking specifically of this one: (|Size Stat - Size Stat| x 2) This should be: 2^(|Size stat - Size Stat|) I make the same mistake all the time. Perhaps that table would be easier if we just dispensed with the doublings and went with differences of Size Stats? See the attachment for an example.

Re: And this is my special eff... er, I mean, my Sidekick. I had a friend once in the late 80's named Ken Hawkins when I lived in Clarksville, Tenn, whom I used to play Champions with. He was a very creative sort who always had all kinds of great character concepts. One was a character named "Shield" who had an invisible "sidekick" named "Buckler" that only Shield could see. Ken defined "Buckler" as nd6 of Luck (I could be mistaken, but I believe at the time the system limited you to 3d6 of Luck, but I bet if Ken were still active, he would want to add more dice to this). Shield (and Buckler) was a homage/parody of Captain America (and Bucky), and was a bit of a loon. We (as a group) were never really sure if Buckler was one of Shield's imaginary friends, or if he really existed. Whenever Shield would get lucky in combat, he would always credit Buckler in that typical baritone voice: "Good going, Buckler!" "Nice save, Buckler!" and so on. He was a loon, but fun to be around, plus a very good combatant, so we let him stick around. Alas, because I moved to New York in the middle of the campaign, I never found out if Buckler was real or not.

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? All right, you might have me beat, there, since I've never heard of most of those.... Next 5 on Party Shuffle: Carry On Wayward Son - Kansas Land of Confusion - Genesis Honky Tonk Women - Rolling Stones Satori - Rodrigo y Gabriela * Proud Mary - Creedence Clearwater Revival * Great stuff... if you love the guitar, you have to pick up "Rodrigo y Gabriela"... imo, their version of Metallica's Orion is worth the price of the album all by itself... amazing stuff.
