Aargh double-post. Hate when I have to do that. Anyway, I pm'd Alina on Saturday about the ad thing; she never messaged me back. So, going off of the word that she encourages external linking anyway, I've e-mailed Mookie with an ad inquiry, and taken the liberty of constructing this rather shoddy ad...

Hmm... you present a point, but how many attributes do we really want in the game? It might be more realistic to have Agi and Dex as separate scores, but then you'd have one more stat to worry about balancing points in. Gamewise, it makes sense that the character who's pumping up dexterity so he can...

That... was surprisingly good. Acting was a bit forced, maybe, but the camera work and the background players were quite good. Ah, but allow me to post what I originally came to the thread today for: CFR-powered Stirling engine Let me line this out for you: someone develops a homebrew cold fusion re...

Um, a bit of both I think. When I was coming up with the original design it was intended to be generic, but a good bit of my fantasy world crept into it along the way (incidentally, the Miasma is what I call my inner multiverse where all the stories happen). On the other hand, the communal goal for ...

OH HAI! HOW U?! *Ahem* Welcome to Life; we like to call it "The Big Apple" here in "The Big Apple," but that's mostly because I'm a Golden Worm and I like to Capitalize Things. Anyway, this forum's a good time if you like discussing fantasy stuff, random videos or quantum physics. As for the RP side...

Um... that's World of Darkness, right? I wouldn't know, the only tabletop I've really played is DnD. Mmm... you might have something on the skills there. Maybe it could be something like this: a tasks difficulty is represented by the number of dice you have to roll to get it right. The number of gra...

I just had an idea on dice rolls for weapons, which could probably be adapted to skills, spells and such as well. It sprung from Heroscape, but it actually reminds me a lot of Warhammer 40k. Here it goes. A weapons damage rating is equal to the number of d6's that you roll when you attack someone wi...

Well, this isn't a quote per se, but I wrote a song while I was out in the desert last month and I think you guys might like it. Note this is a beta version; the lyrics are, as far as I know, done.

Ah, Thanatos... It's not that I don't appreciate your efforts, really, you do quite a bit. However, the things you do... and there's really no polite way to put this, but forgive me if I go overboard here... they don't really have anything to do with the system I came up with. I put a fair amount of...

Sounds like this banner would demand an animated GIF to me. Size is 500 wide, 75 high if anyone with talent wants to get in on the action. Otherwise, I guess I'll put my amateur hand to it... mm, tomorrow maybe? Maybe not. No promises. Naturally, still need a go-ahead from our illustrious, ah, illus...

I'd sneak up on it while it was asleep and do a coup de grace, personally. A rogue with a scythe has a roughly 50% chance of pulling it off at level 17, and that's with a completely mundane, non-magical scythe. Of course, if I were playing in a campaign wherein I was placed against the freaking tarr...

Ahem. This is rather off-topic, but... I'm considering running an ad on Dominic Deegan for this system of ours. It might help us get some more innovators--not that we aren't enough for the job, but the more the merrier, eh wot? Plus, Mookie runs a good comic, but I've only rarely seen people adverti...

And I can't help but notice that you guys spent the month playing DnD and reading comic books instead. I suppose fame isn't everything, is it... Mr. Potter? :lol: All kidding aside, no harsh feelings on this end--mild disappointment, perhaps, but in everyone's defense it was a lot of homework. And t...

This might be my last post before I roll out, so here's hoping it's a good one... Maybe instead of changing the name of the "nature/nurture" pair to avoid labeling trouble, we should change the name of the nature allegiance to wild or something? Nature and nurture are a pair of terms that go well to...

My perfect match shirt says "Genius by birth, slacker by choice." My near future ex-stepdad bought it for me whilst, unbeknownst to him, I was considering getting it myself. My mom thought that was hilarious. And on an unrelated note, I thought up a great riddle today. What do you call it when you c...
