She's clearly deranged! That movie was totally awesome! Even for non-geeks! It had explosions and everything!

Why not an alliegence system instead of an alignment system? The Black Company setting by Green Ronin for the Mythic Vistas campain uses an allegiance system rather than an alignment system, and it works very well. It's the same as the one in the d20 Modern game. Basically each character takes up t...

Speaking of shirts. Last Christmas I hada bunch of shirts made for some friends of mine and I. My shirt says "Evil Captain of Industry" and theirs all say "Henchman". They were very well received.

"WHOA!" Rowan shouts as he leaps back from the swinging door. "Did I do that?"

After a moment, Rowan pokes his head through the door and waves at Ellimist with a grin.

"Howdy! Everything ok in here?"

He then sets a couple of shields in the doorway to make sure it doesn't slam shut again.

Rowan moves to the door Ellimist is trapped behind and starts to use his crowbar to pry it open.

"Terra, if you would, give me a hand getting this door open. Simon, if you can grab a shield or two to wedge in the door, we can bust the hinges on it once it's propped open."

How do people feel about the pace? I know no-one has complained, but I want to make sure no-one is quietly fuming or something. I think it's a touch slow, but I know not everyone has the chances to post that I do. I have a bunch of downtime at work while waiting for the computer to generate reports...

I actually put a good amount of effort into hiding it... I say I know nothing about anime, but have actually watched every episode of a few of them. I say that Star Wars is not all that great, but play a browser based MMO about it. It is not that I am ashamed of being geeky or anything, but I just ...

I came out of the geek closet when I was in grade two or three and haven't ever looked back. I'll be 34 in March. I've gotten into fistfights over it, suffered persecution for it, and haven't regretted a single second. It's made me who I am. If people make fun of you for being a geek, they aren't yo...

Rowan pauses for a second to catch his breath and grins at Terra. " Grab hold of the top of the door and when I wrench at it, pull the entire door downwards. That should help me crack these hinges free ." Rowan then sets his crowbar back in the edge of the door and heaves on three. " One, Two, THREE...

Just something to think about. Some other systems I've played with and fiction I've read suggest that a rise in the use of ferrous metal was directly proportional to the decline of magic, and if the setting is post apocalyptic, then that explanation might lend itself quite well. Since civilization i...

Rowan stops heaving at the door as a little lantern appears above his head for a second. He sets the door gently back against the battered shield and sword, then reaches down to his pack and grabs his crowbar. Turning to the door, he wedges the crowbar into the hinge of the door and starts to wrench...

Rowan shrugs and hands his torch off to Korgan, sets down his pack and heaves at the door, making sure to leave room for Terra if she steps in to help.

Rowan turns to face the rest of the room.

"Simon's ok, but I'll need some help pulling this door open, what with the torch in my hand and all. He's going to search that room for the trigger. Any luck freeing Ellimist yet?"

((Rowan will assist whomever comes to the door to pull it open.))

Vaguely nauseated by the zomboid's laughter, Rowan backs away from the door, cleans off the blade of his rapier and then sheathes it. He then gathers up his dropped equipment and holding his torch aloft, checks on Simon and his discovery.

"Anything interesting in there Simon?"

Ellimist: Ellimist searches further: (1d20+2=4) Unfortunately, your further searches only turn up a six-inch cockroach, which shoots you an annoyed look and then digs back down into the garbage. Simon: Simon Searches for Switches: (1d20+6=11) You find the trigger mechanism. You do so by stepping in...
