ok, just making sure that there wasn't anything else.

Okay, I suppose the first thing to be done is to list all the threads that have been started that are already related to the Minion War. In no particular order: In which Cybermancer kicks things off. In which Nemesis is hired to take out a Deevil. In which a Deevil hires Nemesis to remove a possibl...

So, as an update, I found that these were too small for old grognards like me to easily read. I selected the top left 4 stat blocks, then reset the print area. Then I printed them on card stock and cut them out. Worked great for my game last night. I've color coded them: red for slouchers, brown for...

I don't own it, but weren't there some pictures of staff in one of the swimsuit Rifters?

Not that I'm advocating using the actual Rifter swimsuit picture.

4-8 pages... After reading the above, I'd like to see this breakdown as part of an ongoing series. a. Something new: a piece of equipment, a new mecha, a demon or monster, or a location. (1-2 pgs) b. One or more NPCs relevant to part a. (1-2 pgs.) c. Adventure hooks using a. and b. (2-4 pgs.) That g...

I've never had a regular character really die in a Palladium game. My first Rifts character, ever, a former CS pilot turned Rogue Scholar, Oswald "died" when I got tired of playing him, and the GM and I worked out how to have him absorbed into the group's ship. He became the NPC Artificial...

I really like this weapon. One of it's special powers is Animate Whip, where it can self-weild thrice daily. No duration is listed. What do you think is a good duration? None of the rest of the special powers for it have a duration, except for the Baal-Rog transformation, but that seems much to long...

Thought so...and it was also very humid at the last OH, so that's why.

Has anyone else's copy of Civilization Gone that they got at the 2009 Open House have extra bad curling and laminate coming off? Mine is, and is the only book under 20 years old I have that is doing that. My BTS 1st Ed is doing it too, but it is beat to hell.

Xar

I plan on listing them in my personal database.

I'm curious too. I should dig up my story and work on it.

I like that. I may do that as well if I can get a Nightbane game going.

Cause it was an incorrect listing.

Can you provide a link to the character sheets? I couldn't seem to locate them. Or could you just copy and paste it here, or in a PM?

Here is a fun little exercise for us amateur horror writers. Think of the last thing that scared you. It probably won't be paranormal. It could have been a near-miss in your car. It could have been a spider or a cramped space. It could have been the time you were mugged. Write a short story about a...

A tithe is a tenth (10%). It can't be less than, or greater than 10%.

Give me a deadline, or I won't get it done. That said, I won't be able to work on it until after this weekend. For some reason, my wife wants me to spend time with her on our anniversary.

To Slade, Prysus, Cybermancer, & Xar; who would like to see their entries in an issue of Gifter?

That would be fine with me, and this weekend, I will try and get more of it back out of my head and into text. --The NPC leaders and story and such.

This thread has been enormously enlightening. Thanks for sharing a look at the process behind a Lazlo thread. Now I'm looking forward to seeing it how you write it up.

I think that Kolchan's first instinct will be to zip up the ladder, but he will instead decide that he needs to investigate the environs more first. I voted for scoping out from the beach/waterfront and for hiking up the ridge. Maybe do a full circle and hit both. Ahhhhh... Caution and recon... Hmm...

Xar

Prysus, I agree with you. I saw that you had posted over at Nexus Nine, and haven't read it yet. I deliberately didn't want to read any entries until I had written mine. However, that turned out to be moot, now didn't it. I look forward to reading them all this weekend.

If you're going to have archer as a warning guard, you gotta have them be able to shoot an arrow with a message attached. Also, it must hit a tree right by the head of the intended recipient with a good resounding Thwangg!

Xar

I ruled an upcharge of 600% for a Kobold made bow that gave a +1 to strike. How's that sound?

Xar

Has anyone ever made a ruling on a non-magical, but kobold- or dwarven- made longbow?

Nothing in the book for a superior bow.

Xar

I would want the stories that won't break a tie. However, I personally think that Kolchan will want to take on the high speed action.

Get that Crown Vic/Mercury Marquis humming down the road.

I think Dan meant that a Nightbane's death would negate their talents.

I hope everybody is still working on stuff. I am, and I look forward to seeing other entries as well.

Six worked well for me at the one Open House game I ran. I prepared 10 pregen characters, with the goal of 4 - 8 players, and they could still have a choice in characters to pick.

Yup, worked well. I also went with a 4 hour time-slot, and was hoarse after that...It's loud in the warehouse.

Wow. My bad. I meant to say that you can't post images to this board.

You can't post messages to this board. You could host them and put in a link to them, though.

I wonder about specifics of conversion in a RP setting. Would a post using say, The Hoffman Institute , but not making any stats, which you wouldn't use in on LS.org be a conversion?
