  2. What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now?

     

    I just got an IPOD Touch, so I'm trying out I-tunes. Usually I use Windows media player. The 'Genius' function makes up playlists based on your music, and i'm listening to the 'Country' one it made. Now if I can just convince it to stop inserting Christmas music by country artists.

     

    Currently playing:

    Oh Love by Brad Paisley (with Carrie Underwood)

  7. And 6e print books start to arrive

    If it was sent USPS they don't give out tracking numbers.

     

    (before anyone says it: there is a way to get USPS to give you a tracking number but it's expensive, requires confirmation, and a host of other hoops to jump through.)

     

    Not to mention it is almost useless. The only update you will get is if you check the day it is delivered, it will tell you that it is at your local post office.

     

    I don't blame anyone who doesn't bother paying for this 'service'. My company stopped because it was almost useless.

  12. Help with a plot power

    I had two these in my last campaign. I didn't make them pay for Mobile perception point(since I would be controlling the entire vision anyways) and they both had Concentration(0 DCV) also. Seems like double dipping with Blackout, but Blackout is only -1/2 (just like concentration) and didn't seem fair (as it would make sense that you would be 0 DCV anyways, I figured they should at least get the bonus).

     

    They both ended up paying about 14 points, which is not bad. I tried to make it cheaper, but couldn't think of anymore reasonable limitations for it.

    Theme Song: I always thought there was a Hero theme song:

    [bonnie Tyler]I need a hero

    I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light

    He's gotta be sure

    And it's gotta be strong

    And he's gotta have Faster Than Light[/bonnie Tyler]

     

    A local band did a 'remake' of the entire Footloose soundtrack, including that song, I'm sure I could convince them(I work with one of them) to allow the song to be used.

    Time: I think the length depends on how often they come out. 1 hour+ a month is fine. Every week or every other week would be too much. Half hour every two weeks seems good.

     

    Content: Announcements, maybe guest reviews of books and interviews with writers for future books sounds good. No need to get into game builds or anything.

  24. (6e) Classified: Characters Wanted!

    I was thinking of using her as the equivalent of a Patron' date=' actually. She would start the adventure by "needing a favor" -- something important to her but that has to be handled as though she isn't involved -- which is why she has to use PCs.[/quote']

    That sounds really cool. With her background you could easily use characters from a bunch of different 'worlds'.
