Re: New NBC Show: Chuck I really enjoyed it. Was a lot of fun. And the music during the ending scene was by one of my favorite bands ever. So that was awesome.

Re: Faerie's Tale I'll see what I can do. First I have to talk a group into playing it. These days it sometimes seems like I buy RPGs just to read. But let me tell you, this one is a good read.

Re: Faerie's Tale I just picked up a copy of Farie's Tale Deluxe in pdf. Only had a chance to skim it so far, but looks really good.

Re: Starships, Speed & Game Balance When you shoot something in Star Wars d6, you roll a dice pool of six sided dice to see how much damage you did to it. So normally if you rolled a 2, a 3, a 6, and a 5, your total would be to deal 16 points of damage to your target stormtrooper or bounty hunter or whatever. However, if you go up in attack something in a larger size category, a max is placed on what you can get on each die. One size up, the max you can roll on each d6 is a 5. Thus, the 6 from our precious example would be a 5. Now your total is 15. Two size categories up (shooting an X-Wing or transport with your hand blaster maybe) and that cap becomes 4. So now your originally rolled 6 counts as a 4, and your originally rolled 5 also becomes 4. So your total damage roll against this size of an opponent would be a 13. (2 + 3 + modified 4 + modified 4). And so on up the size chart.

Re: Tuala Morn questions Man, now I just need to find the book. Or keep waiting for the re-print.

Re: Tuala Morn questions Just a quick side question, is TM playable with just the TM book and the FReD, or is Fantasy Hero needed as well?

Re: Faerie's Tale Glad to hear it plays well. I've been meaning to get it after hearing Paul Tevis' review. And now with the Deluxe edition, I might have to pick it up.

Re: Softcover?? They don't. I went by there the other day, saw a couple of HERO books on their tiny RPG section, and quickly hoped that Fantasy HERO was there. Sadly, no. Oh, and the customer service was horrible.

Re: This is why I play Fantasy Hero Off the top of the head in that case you could just throw on say a +2 called shot modifier and give the orcs a +2 attack bonus on your for being on your knees.

Re: This is why I play Fantasy Hero So the story goes anyway.

Re: This is why I play Fantasy Hero Maybe it would have been more funny if I'd ever seen a DnD group that just rolled initiative, attacked, and got attacked.

Re: Flash Gordon Series News Could be good. Hopefully they don't make it lame.

Re: ORCS! What makes them our favourite enemies??? The thing about 40k is there are NO good guys. Except maybe the Tau. But they're Commies. So who knows?

Re: ORCS! What makes them our favourite enemies??? Orcs with class levels solves this problem quickly and simply.

Re: Pulp Era Board Games I was curious as to how Crimson Skies plays as well.

Re: Pulp Era Board Games Awesome, thanks guys. I already have some Rocketmen and enjoy it, and was actually thinking about grabbing the Crimson Skies box set off ebay last night. As for the others though, gives me plenty ideas of what I can scrounge around for and try to find on the cheap.

Going back to school it's easier to organize an occassional board game night as opposed to a more full time RPG group. Does anyone know of any Pulp Era style board or card games that are out there?

Re: Zeppelin versus Pterodactyls Great, now I need to scrounge up money for Pulp Hero and for this as well. ::walks off grumbling::

Re: Zeppelin versus Pterodactyls What would be awesome is if they built a launching platform into the zeppelin for the fighter planes. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
