I really like the idea of Kick Spirits and Spectral Slugs. I imagine that kick spirits are like invisible stalkers, but created by apprentice wizards with a love of practical jokes. I can just imagine them summoning them to harass the librarians of the wizard’s guild.
An infestation of Spectral slugs would be a…

Sounds like a really fun game. I’d say bard is probably one of the best choices for this sort of game, since they have both magic, and skills, and can be built to be decent archers, or swordsmen. Its easier to cover all the bases now than it was in previous editions, but I’d still probablygo fir a bard if I need to.

I always understood that Palpatine exacerbated her injuries using the force, as he knew that if she survived it would allow her to potentially redeem Vader. It also should have prevented her baby from growing up to overthrow him, although clearly that bit didn’t work out so well.

Elected monarchies have absolutely existed at various points in history. It makes perfect sense for her to continue to represent her people in the senate after standing down as queen. Leia’s princess title doesn’t come from either her biological mother, or her adoptive father, but rather from her adoptive mother, who…

3.5 descriptions generally alternate gender, so that whenever it starts talking about a new character it switches.

Yeah, I was going to post this if no one else had. The board game is great.

It is an amazingly nuanced series. The scene where Aang is about to face the firelord and goes to talk to his past lives always gives me chills. The way they tell him that enlightenment isn’t his fate, and as Avatar he is doomed to be reincarnated forever really hits home.
I’m curious to see what they do in the post…

In some ways its worse for an RPG than for wargaming. I agree that you would be limited in what scenarios you could play, but you could get good mileage out of it for a variety of stand alone skirmish games. to sustain an RPG campaign you need such a larger scope and varied environment that it would only be useful for…

Wow. Thats amazing work. You would struggle to run an actual game using it, as 3D terrain tends to get in the way at the best of times, but as a display piece it is outstanding. I wish I had the space, time and money to build something like that...

its a cool idea, and i’ll almost certainly pick up a few sets for the Demons and monsters, but i’m not that keen on many of the vehicles, they just seem a bit too garish. I don’t use very many bright blue or trans orange pieces in my builds, so I probably won’t be investing heavily in this line.
Mind you it’s probably…

Of course not everyone had the option to watch it at a kid, what with it being off the air for so long. I remember seeing a few repeats of 3rd and 4th doctor stories on BBC 2, and then the 8th doctor on the radio, but it wasn't until the new series came out that I was able to get into it in earnest.

The Devil's Heart is my favourite Star Trek novel. Its about a stone artefact that has passed through the histories of the Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans and many more, always causing chaos and being taken from the dead hands of its previous bearer. When a vulcan archaeological expedition find the heart and are driven…

True. The villain of the new Batman film might be a better example. Or posisbly Magneto who is cited as an example of a lawful neutral character in complete scoundrel. He's not afraid of doing terrible things to achieve his aims, but does have a code of conduct.

I think that what's often overlooked is that alignment doesn't need to be a black and white, hard and fast thing. Many well roleplayed characters can't easily be pinned down to one alignment because character development causes them to move from one to another as the game progresses. The 1st edition DM' Guide even…

Both can be true. Alignments aren't hard and fast categories, theres a lot of flexibility in what they mean, and how they interact. most characters don't actually fit one alignment but are somewhere in the grey areas between two or three. Darth Vader is Lawful evil because he is the agent of a corrupt empire.…
