*Is struck by the Fish O' Doom, Rolls Save vs. DOOM! Success, Save vs. Wombat Area Attack on the other hand is a failure*

Awww... Today's comic makes me miss my Barbarian/Rogue, FLYING TWO HANDED SNEAK ATTACK!

I assault him with pie! It has nuts in it, I'm hoping he's allergic.

Being a Steampunk Nutter and noting Alina's latest newspost... Here's some of the stuff I've found in my wanderings. The guy who I think came up with the idea in the first place, really good art. http://ericpoulton.blogspot.com/search/label/steampunk%20star%20wars More awesome artwork regarding Star...

Speaking of Palladium Games...

Nightbane: Psychological Trauma + Super Powers = Win!
Robotech: This ain't DnD, this has Giant Robots in it!
Heroes Unlimited: Enhanced Sense of Taste? Alter Physical Structure Foam? I'm there!

When it comes to "generic adventuring gear" my group uses the classic PC Adventure game approach and pretends you have your own private pocket dimension.

One of these days I'll have to actually make a character who has an enormous buff coat in which he can store a St. Bernard...

That's a neat one. Here's another I just spotted Spirit of the Season (an add on to Spirit of the Century) Where you play Holiday Themed Pulp Heroes (such as the daring Secret Santa and his Reindeer Men) and take them against Holiday Villians (for example, the sinister and greedy Doctor Scrooge) in ...

I've been attending Con-Version in Calgary for the past 4 years, and The Calgary Comic Expo for the past 3.

I'd attend more but Calgary is a pretty crummy city for Conventions, Otafest is a bit depressing and caters to mostly the 16 and under crowd.

I usually GM more than I play, so I have seen more strange characters than I have played so I only have a roster of 5 or 6 characters I've played over my gaming career. Probably the most unusual was The Black Fox, a half orc monk who fancied himself a Super Hero. All his magical items were geared to...

Inspired by my sudden discovery of The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Manchausen: A Game of Telling Tales and Playing Roles, the rules of which involve wagers, wine and one-ups-manship, no really, drinking, gambling and boasting appear to be core parts of gameplay and the entire thing is written ...

Holy Cow, I am very jealous of your awesome looking Rifts game... my players were always very boring (human Glitterboy, human Crazy (best character ever), human Shifter (later Elven Mind Melter), though I suppose the Giant Lizard Cyberknight wasn't so bad...). Though the last time I played was when ...

Ah, how gaming immitates life.

I know many from both sides of the fence that roleplay, it's a pretty politically neutral hobby as far as I can tell, hence I wonder why McCain is so... hostile. Ah well, I'm a happy little Canadian Moderate with Liberal sympathies so I can just ignore him. Still find it an interesting article though.

http://www.gamepolitics.com/2008/08/19/mccain-campaign-slams-quotpro-obama-dungeons-amp-dragons-crowdquot Sort of an interesting article about Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain and his opinions of Roleplayers. And all the folks around here being such staunch Roleplayers, I thought this ...

I am totally jacking the little picture of me in costume for my Icon. I will recommend that the nefarious Professor Lazarus Nowhere do the same.

My favorite setting is a homebrew and a little arrogant so I apoligize if it seems narcisstic... The Adventures of Pedro Steckecilo: Post Apocalyptic Steam Punk Western with Gangsters! Also Explosions. Hollow Earth Expedition: Nazi's, Dinosaurs, Atlantians, Giant Drilling Machines and Horrendously b...
