If you were Jennifer Connolly would you fall into sex slavery for a mint first-edition copy of the 1e Player's Handbook?

What I'm waiting on is mostly board games and kickstarters at this point. Kickstarter wise I'm looking forward to the Fragged Empire playtest, along with Reunion and Urban Shadows in the future. For board games it's XCom and SW: Armada. Other than that, uh, I'm curious about Exalted 3 but I wouldn't really say I'm looking forward to that (hope being the first step, etc).

Y'all need to work for an academic library. Nobody gives a poo poo about drug testing and you get some sweet-rear end surplus shelves to support your enormous collection of shame-books. 'course the pay is terrible and the management is made up of the worst, most abusive kind of nerds around, but hey, no late fees!

I started playing Star Control 2 last night for the first time after I won it 20 years ago. So who out there has made a Star Control RPG, and did it suck?

Where the pay is actually worse, but the management is usually pretty cool. Also: No late fees on books you take out. If you also don't mind dealing with screaming kids sometimes.

If you also don't mind dealing with screaming kids sometimes. If the public libraries around here could afford to hire full-time staff, I'd go back in a heartbeat. The time I got to sign up a first-generation American kid for his library card is legit one of the happiest memories I've got. Little dude was just so excited to check out his crappy off-brand Percy Jackson book and Harry Potter DVD.

Is it just me, or does this guy's sword look like some kind of Liefeldian weapon swap-job?

Yep, if I had to guess I'd say at some point dude had his spear in that hand or whatever, but his hand and his sword are on completely different angles, the same thing's happening with his other hand, how's he holding the spear AND the shield? even if you accept the shield is somehow lashed to the spear-pole, the way it's lashed still wouldn't leave room for that dude's fingers. Edit: what I mean

Maybe there should be a GM only section on betting on Frungy and whether or not your broker is screwing you and running with your money. The Zoq-Fot-Pik have a racial bonus to not get cheated because they at least know the team names. Only the Fot knows the rules and he never speaks.

This may be a dumb question, but I've noticed some of us have a box next to our usernames, where mods and admins usually have their stars: and other people don't. Anyone know what or why that is?

The same image in the PHB is cropped and shadowed to hide all that.

That shield works if it has a shield boss - I don't know the shield design in question. but it looks fairly like a viking round shield to me.

Sure, but as far as I can tell that shield doesn't have one. There's nothing but flat wood under the dude's fingers, where you should see some of the boss from that angle.

Error 404 posted:Mild danger, they do Google themselves a lot, but your big hitch will be Zakpologists that may be in your group already. I mentioned Zak S in a directed tweet, which he then personally replied to. A day or two later I get this email from Twitter: quote:Hi [my name], Of course I didn't try to log in from a strange device. So I changed all my passwords. It's like a campfire story, except instead of finding a hook on the door handle you just get a security alert.

At this point apparently the only thing that constitutes proof would be "I am explicitly asking my fans to harass this guy PS This is not satire no matter what I say later." But, no, see, that would be sarcasm anyway.

I'm listening to the EQ Next class preview panel at the SOE convention. They just mentioned mentioned "Power Sources" for classes, then talked about the "Martial Power Source." We're getting the 4e mmo we deserve.   edit: "Will you be making supportive fighters?" "Yes."
