A Canadian Brass Christmas

Alice Cooper From the Inside

The Klemperer recording of Beethoven 9. Just plugged in the Solti/Chicago Symphony version of that, myself. Is it the older Solti recording or the one he did in the late 80s with Jessye Norman? Anymore, my preferences for that one are: 1. Klemperer/Philharmonia 2/3. Furtwangler/Bayreuth 3/2. Toscan...

I'll be there. Hopefully running a pick-up game this year.

Congrats, sir! Job well done.

Thank you for keeping us safe. All the best to you and your family. Come home safe.

I'm more of a fan of having the party quest for one of the manuals of attribute improvement. If that's what they're after, and if everybody in the party wants one, they're going to be doing some serious questing. It gives me as a CK lots of options for new adventures etc.

I think I only lost a relative handful of posts. I'm not worried about it. It's not like it's a contest to me.

As to the appearance, I actually kinda like it. I was ready for something different.

Miles Davis, The Complete Birth of the Cool.

Hrmmm...nice to see where the buck stops.

Alice Cooper . . Billion Dollar Babies!

Not bad, Rhu.
I'm more partial to From the Inside, however.

<t>I think that if you're going to adopt the 3.x modifiers, particularly for combat situations, you need to scale the monsters up. I've found HP values in C&C to be generally lower than what they are in 3.x, so the way the current system is set up is quite nicely balanced.<br/> <br/> +1 to what ...

TMI, dude. TMI. (Coincidentally, so do I.)

<t>I've been leafing through the American Gothic game of late, and I'm intrigued by the 2d12 system that they use. While they provide lots of good extras to go with the book in terms of the history, I'd want to bone up on it some more before I ran a game of it. The 2d12 mechanic is definitely intere...

<t>To better facilitate healing, I've houseruled into my game that clerics can spontaneously cast "Cure...Wounds" spells into appropriate slots so that they don't have to prepare loads of those spells. I've also been generous with setting-specific healing potions, so they should have no excuses for ...

Isn't this the basic mechanic in GURPS, or was it 3d6? I only played it a couple of times, and never got far enough into it to remember much. Oh yeah...and I'm too damn lazy to run down the basement and dig out the game book.

Welcome to the crusade! I think you're going to enjoy yourself.

I pre-ordered my copy!

As have I. Hoping it'll be out before Christmas, but if not, it's not. If worse comes to worse, I can just have Steve bring my copy with him to GaryCon.

Lately, it's been the Beethoven Missa Solemnis. But 2112 sounds mighty tempting right now.

I'll take my dire turkey deep fried, with a heapin' helpin' of Wild Turkey! Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

Mark Hall wrote: My problem with that, milord Osis, is that why would rogues and bards learn such an ability if it's of no practical use to them, especially given the relative cheapness of "Read Magic"? To find out what scrolls are worth keeping? Wouldn't learning to identify what things ...

I have no problem with the rogue reading the text, if able. Casting the spell, however, is another matter.

For me, this is more a way to figure out what a scroll is without having the wizard/illusionist read it and inadvertently cast the spell.

I've never been a PS fan. I preferred the graphics on the old GameCube to what I played on PS2. Were I interested in BluRay, I might get the PS3. Seeing as how I'm not interested in that, and that I love the graphics on the 360, I'm going with Xbox. No questions.

Welcome to the Crusade! You could always start them out in the Umbrage Saga. Start them at 1st level and run them through the end of it. It's a compilation of 4 or 5 modules.

No, that is mine.

Sorry...I see where the confusion came in.

That's a critter that belongs in every setting. It would be especially fun in Harvesters, though.
