I just read the Apocalypse Troll by David Weber. After being put to sleep by the Shiva Option by the same author, I was taking a chance. But I liked it. It was a heroic adventure that concentrated mostly on the two main characters rather than a theater-level strategic analysis like Shiva.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Last Saturday, our party had just literally been through Hell and come out in Shangri-La. We found ourselves in a Buddhist monastery. For some inane gnomish reason, I thought the monks should have loud red-orange robes, but the GM described them as dull brownish orange.

Quantum: I don't know, and frankly I don't give a damn.

Re: f/u Grab: Throwing & Squeezing after initial Grab
 
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "either" roll. If a character attempts a Grab and misses, he's never going to get to the "Throw" stage of things in the first place, so the Throw rules don't come into play. Only if the character has to make an Attack Roll with his Throw -- either to perform it at all, or if he's trying to hit a specific target with the Thrown character/object -- are the "miss" rules going to come into play.
 
If what you're asking is, "Can a character Throw a Grabbed person in an effort to hit another target (such as another character or a specific hex), miss that target, but still inflict Throw damage on the Thrown person?", then the answer is "No." There aren't any provisions in the rules for that; a miss is a miss. The GM could alter that if he likes, but generally the rules don't let a character miss/fail and still obtain some measure of success.
