Use of the Movement power does not make things impact any harder or fall apart from stress or become impossible to control. Primarily a balance issue with speeding up weaponry (and I include ramming people with drone cars as "weaponry"), but also to prevent arguments about what the fastes...

I'm not "freaking out", I'm observing that you aren't making sense. Next you will be telling me that we can get more force without changing mass or acceleration. Honestly you would be better off not pretending to have an explanation of how the movement power works and leaving it at that, ...

I have it on good authority that unless you decide to roll your stats by rolling 10 D100's, adding them all together, dividing the result by five and then subtracting one you haven't created the worst game in the world. So at least there's that. You have to be fucking shitting me... Charts for nipp...

This is including the magical multiplier, right? Hypersonic speed starts around Mach 5. No... The upper limit of a scramjet's performance today is around mach 24 according to wikipedia. However if memory serves you have to be going at least supersonic before the scramjet will even begin to operate.

Okay, I know this isn't an RPG... but I have to say it somewhere... Holy FUCK I just finished the game and it's beautiful. One of the best gaming experiences I've had in years. I'm dying to talk about the ending, but I *can't* give spoilers. If you're not a David Lynch fan, you probably won't dig th...

The idea of a dragon going mach 20 somehow fills me with a dark, deep dread.

Overall, remember: the way you get paid more is to either sell a rarer product (deltaware might, for example, go for 10% instead of 5%, simply by being *that* rare), or have more buyers competing with each other. In such a rarefied market as selling off used body parts/cyberware, I can't see there ...

Back to the original topic, organ bootlegging traces back to early Cyberpunk literature, which is probably why it's in Shadowrun still. If memory serves (It's been a year or two since I read Neuromancer, I try to read it once a year so it's time), organ-legging was referenced when Case saw a Sararim...

I mean, in a world with cheap electronics you wouldn't have a Sprawl. Cameras would be mounted everywhere and they could see through walls and criminals would all be jail because they could never escape. I mean, you can't hack every camera between your house and the location for your run, so someon...

Honestly, in my opinion, building an entire character around pilot/driver or doctor/medic isn't very fun. They're neat secondary skills, but they can easily be outsourced (a la DocWagon). My $0.02. I ran with that once upon a time in a game I ran. It was short, only one or two "adventures"...

Don't get me wrong, I loved my Introduction to AD&D set back in the day and I fucken loved DragonStrike and if I didn't hold a vendetta against WotC for unrelated stuff I would probably get this too, but let's get real here. I am not exactly what you would call a profitable market segment. To m...

Back to the original DA:O review... While I really enjoyed the game (PC version) I can't say that I found the setting terribly interesting. I noted with interest that Green Ronin was doing a couple books on it, but interest quickly faded as I was taken deeper into the game. There's lots of promise, ...

Cyberpunk genre roles? * The Burned out professional * The purchased beauty * The ugly man who stands out in an age of affordable beauty * The starlet who will never get out of the sprawl * The retired professional * The Junkie * The Femme Fatale (not in noir style, but in the "I can kill you e...

To my knowledge, the only person we have on record claiming to be an owner after its initial creation is Ken Horner. He is on record as being unconcerned with the situation. Given that he is more knowledgeable about whatever business transaction transpired to give him partial ownership than you, me...

So lets get back to your evidence, the. The court documents have already been discussed, and going from "the members" to "the owners" to "the only owners" to "stock swindling" is, lets just say, overreaching. I have no idea what you mean to show by reference ...

What kind of argument is it, that you took money under false pretenses? -Crissa I didn't see that argument in any of the legal documents. Probably because its not the argument presented, but rather rampant speculation on the basis of little factual information about the actual internal makeup of IM...

Do we have any documentation that shows he had actually sold stock? If he sold it to slavering fanboys and folks who had just been subjected to his sales pitch, the subject probably didn't come up. After all, this was a friendly guy who was confiding in them and giving them a chance to set foot in ...

And yet Penny Arcade seems to have blast with the game, and it's my theory that their endorsement allowed 4E to last as long as it did. Remember, Gabe had never actually run a D&D game before 4th ed and has played WoW heavily according to their blog half of their web site. If memory serves, the...

What kind of argument is it, that you took money under false pretenses? -Crissa The argument around "ownership" of IMR will probably boil down to "you can invest, but you don't own anything." I still find it hilarious that the lawyer keeps saying IMR generally pays it's bills on...

So instead of weight, perhaps the character in question can carry 100 "spaces" of inventory. A longsword might be 5 spaces let's say. A 200 pound sack of gold might only be 2 spaces. Weight is not relevant, but encumbrance is. I'm sorry, but a 200 pound sack of gold doesn't exist. 200 pou...

The important thing here is that Loren Coleman is claiming in legal writing that he is the only owner of IMR, and that by extension all the stock he claimed to have sold to the other owners was fraudulent. I didn't think they were actually going to go that route. Here's the thing. You can't sell st...

The home rules system kind of made my head hurt. Might just be because it should never take a page to describe how much a character can carry on his back. Okay, Hercules. I don't think I'd personally care about how much weight he can carry, I'd concern myself that point at how much the character can...

lolrus. IMR's lawyer has already stated for the record that he can't be there. That'll be... entertaining. He'll be there. I suspect he bluffed with that and his bluff was called. I won't flat out accuse the lawyer of BSing the court, but I've known many lawyers who make their own schedule as conve...

Jennifer Harding posted the following yesterday at dumpshock in reference to IMR's statement that no paperwork could be found regarding Sugarbroad: When I left on March 30th, there were physical copies of all Sugarbroad's invoices in a filing cabinet and electronic copies of them in the accounting s...
