My current Friday-night group is 8, although usually 5 or 6 show up. (A couple of us have odd schedules, and one is the 14-year-old daughter of another player, and she's sometimes punished for bad grades. :wink: ) Most of us have known each other for 20 years, and three of us rotate every few months...

If I were to start carving, but I had the contortionist ability, how much damage do you think I'd need to get before I could fit through? Would a certain amount of damage lower than 20 need an Escape Artist check? Possibly the DC for the Escape Artist check could be (20 + (20 - current damage) - an...

Absolutely -- and just because slaadi and mind flayers can't be mentioned in the DragonMech books doesn't mean you can't use them in your home campaign!

If you're looking for a better name, how about: The Downsizer (nah, too modern) The Barber (as in "Theodoric of York, Medieval...") or my favorite: The Scrapper! Considering the damage this mech can do up close, you could make sure the crew is armed with grappling hooks for quick boarding ...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAarrrrrrrrrgggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!! the drow are attacking on the surface!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!! Ahhh, a drow spider-mech ... all I can say is, wait for The Mech Manual later this year. It...

As for air, I guess that'd be a wind generator (aka a low-powered fan), and earth... what would earth be? I guess it could create small amounts of matter that could then be shaped by other steam powers Hmmm, how about something like a sandblaster? Using a powerful fan, it would shoot out a high-vel...

Licensed properties are a tricky thing, obviously. If you're an RPG company, do you jump on the bandwagon of a "hot" show or movie, and hope that it has staying power? And if you do, what happens once it's gone? Not every property has the ability to stay popular once it goes off the air. F...

Truly amazing (no pun intended), this film vaults over the first movie. Better story, better villain, better characterization, better effects. Those who know next to nothing about Spidey other than what they saw in the first movie (like my wife) will love it. For those who have been Spidey fans for ...

Agreed, although I can see a possible reason for these feats if the DM is following the optional "Psionics are different from magic" rule, which can give psions a distinct advantage in a campaign where magic is prevalent and psionics are rare. It would keep some psions from getting carried...

Anyone take a look at this? I've flipped through it, although I haven't bought it yet (at a list price of $34.95, I'm waiting for the right moment, lest I risk the wrath of The Wife!). What I have seen, however, looks promising. Psions now have many more powers and Power Points at their disposal, pu...

So, now that the fourth issue is finally out, what did you think of JLA/Avengers ? I thought it was pretty good, not great -- although each issue had several moments of "That's cool!" for comic-book fans: Jack of Hearts fighting the Royal Flush Gang, Superman wielding Captain America's shi...

Growing up as a teen in the '70s (yes, I'm old :? ), I was a big Marvel fan, and there were some great titles back then, like the Englehart/Perez Avengers , the Claremont/Byrne X-Men , and the often-overlooked Gerber/Buscema run of The Defenders . But despite this Marvel bias, my all-time favorite s...

I'm a big fan of The Writer's Digest Character Naming Sourcebook. It has about 20,000 names and their meanings, across about three dozen ethnic categories. If I want to create a fantasy character based on an entry in the book, I just use the tried-and-true method of swapping a vowel or two. :-) The ...

I will never stop praising Van Richten's Guide to Ghosts by William Connors for the Ravenloft campaign about 10 years ago. As much as a fan of the Ravenloft seting as I was (and am), nothing opened my eyes as a DM to the sheer possibilities of the setting as this book. Connors took a fairly "ho...

Just curious: What other gaming products has Super Unicorn worked on? I really liked the two samples we've seen so far.
