Re: I wonder how much Antique's Roadshow would appraise it for... Must be props for Mel Brooks History Of The World Part II...

Re: Hero in ENnie award Hunt "Merde!"

Re: We seem to be losing time... literally! Watch out for Lu Tze...

Re: Traps? Got one here... geez, those are mostly for sheer comedy factor! Unless you want all your party dead, very dead

Re: Request: pointers to history books Might I point you to this: The Imperial Age: British India Got it for a future Victorian game I might do... quite nice! the first 40 pages are mostly historical/local info with late victorian-age maps of India

Re: Looks Like a Spaceship, Don't It? I think it looks like a fancy dart

Re: Your Top Ten Science Fiction Writers, and then some. I discovered Robert J Sawyer a few years ago... I didn't think that we had a good scifi writer in Canada until then... a blurb from his site (sfwriter.com) "Robert J. Sawyer is one of only seven writers in history to win all three of the world's top Science Fiction awards for best novel of the year: the Hugo, the Nebula, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award (the full list of such winners: David Brin, Arthur C. Clarke, Joe Haldeman, Frederik Pohl, Kim Stanley Robinson, Robert J. Sawyer, and Connie Willis)." what I've read so far impressed me

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? Some a capella Metal...

Re: The Hero System is bland and over complicated And that's a *Good Thing*..... it means that there *IS* new people

Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now? ... (trying to do bits of it on the guitar...)

Re: Short Film Find: The Rise and Fall of the Nazi Dinosaurs I doubt that "non-existant" qualifies as "low"

Re: Circle of Protection Good idea, Tylorsama... (and welcome on board Since it is already Constant, I'd say adding Uncontrolled (so the character can sleep it lasts until the Circle isn't "broken"), "Extra Time" (scraping the circle on the ground), Cost END to activate (if like a spell) or 0 END... add to that your Set Effect & affect Whole Object It costs a lot tho... with an AoE of 3m Radius (+- 20' diameter), it's about 90 AP... 15 pts for 30 STR AoE +1/4 Cost End to Activate -1/2 or 0 END for -1/4 Affect Whole Objects -1/4 Uncontrolled +1/2 Extra Time (say... 5 mins to do the circle correctly, -2) 90 AP, 28 Real 101 AP, 31 Real for the 0 END one Pick one, season to taste...

Re: Circle of Protection That's why I thought about the Change Environment... Just make them afraid to enter the area For the barrier, I'd let you do it if you limited it vs Lions but added semi-transparent from your own side (after all you can attack the lions, but they can't fight back)...

Re: Genre-crossover nightmares A Dark, alienated fantasy: The Wizzard of Ozzy

Re: Circle of Protection What would you think of this... Change Environment, AoE, with a small surprise (say, 1-2 points of electrtical damage) -Xm Running (Only when going toward the Center of the AoE), only affects animals of type Y. Say it is a "ward" vs Lions... they'd get Zapped and slowed when trying to get to the center of the Ward, but not when going away from it...

Re: Dragons Just seen this NICE Dragon on the front page of Grognardia

Re: Aliens: everything you know is... well, "wrong" doesn't even begin to cover it.

Re: Aliens: everything you know is... well, "wrong" doesn't even begin to cover it. sounds a bit like Clarke's RAMA stuff... the Octo-spiders they called those...

Re: So you think you can build a solar system Hum... I see lines of Javascript and a whole lot of Flash parameters... just go on the page and do a "view source", it'll show everything that's loaded...

Re: So you think you can build a solar system Seems to be in Flash...

Re: Dragons On a side note... Great book series with Dragons... "Temeraire" by Naomie Novik

Re: Dragons Besides when "testing" AD&D 2nd (eons ago), I've never done a session with Dragons... why bother with Bite/Claws/Spells Just pick-up the fighter wearing the +5 plate and bash the wizard with it... should cut through any DR he has ;p... Or play "Put-out-the-thief" or "Drop-the-cleric-on-the-bard-from-100'-high" Ever seen a Halfing dodging a tree? ... Me neither.

Re: So you think you can build a solar system It's now in my bookmark for SF games (and for fun!) Tx!

Re: The Scale of the Universe Are you sure it's not a DRAIN INT that is going on?
