I went to Dragon Con this weekend, and at the Steve Jackson Booth I ran across the Atlas guy. He had a bunch of cool stuff (some new Ars Magica stuff) but one of the things that stood out was Shadowrun 5. He had taken 60 copies off the Catalyst guys going to PAX. When I talked to him on Monday, he o...

Except that the Summoner spell list is the best of the best of the buff summon spells, and a lot of times they get those spells at the same time as their wizard counter part, even with the weird spell progression. They also get access to haste, and stoneskin and some others at lower spell levels tha...

My son has high functioning autism and all of the self diagnosing assholes are very frustrating, because they don't really have autism. They're just using it as an excuse to act like assholes, and they make it harder for people who really do have autism, and aren't assholes. Most of the kids I have ...

Paris is in Occupied France. This is REALLY different from Vichy France in innumerable ways. The Germans don't even pretend, and they have to deal with La Resistance all the time. German soldiers who walk alone in the streets often end up found dead. Which then causes the Germans to retaliate agains...

Well, then we obviously need a better multiclassing dynamic that isn't shit. The crudest, and simplest; and possibly most effective is as follows: Every time you take a level in a class; you take the level of the class that is the next in your Challenge Rating progression; and only gain what that c...

We mean, Mile high Tsunami wave rolling across the pacific traveling at 500 mph ish. And then Washing over LA, San Francisco, Tokyo. All sorts of awesome. It might not be a mile high. But the Largest Tsunami we know about was 1750 feet high. So, 10,000 cubic feet of land smacking into the ocean with...

What's really important in taking Africa, India, China as a basis for your fantasy heartbreaker is doing genuine research. If you're basing it on Africa.. then do so. Research on the Pre colonial empires of the time. Do some extrapolation. Don't do what Shadowrun did, which was basically to point at...

If the island of Hawaii (not the entire state, just the actual island) sank into the Pacific, how much would sea levels rise in Japan and California? a millimeter, tops. The island is 5000 square miles, with the highest elevation point being 3 miles. But, most of the island is less than 1/2 a mile ...

I'm not rich, and I'm a French Migrant in America :) Now, I also just laugh at the blantant francophobia and hatred coming out of the American Right wing. Freedom fries didn't make me feel discriminated against, it made me laugh at stupid people. When my 8th grade teacher blamed ME personally for th...

Time for some necromancy... Would chalk instead of dry ease be okay? I mean, you can make chalkboards with paint these days. Some plywood or something could lower the cost down from what a whiteboard would be. That depends entirely on the effect of rolling dice on a piece of plywood that's been pai...

Fantasy Heartbreakers really want to be during the height of Viking Era, and into the Crusades.. so 800AD-1200 AD. That's a good 400 year gap to have yourself a Fantasy Heartbreaker. Although, realistically with the magic available, you should be more looking at a magical early Ren.. so 1400-1600 ro...

This has some pretty big "Shadowrun future" "Distopia" tags written all over it. All they need to do now is buy Detroit, and they're all set.

To quote George himself: I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustratin...
