The Griffin's Crier

I think I would like such a system. Ken and I were in a discussion about this on Saturday and it could be a nice change to a fantasy game that is generally locked into a dungeon setting to make it more like what Saga does. Let me try to say this better (trying to be fast @ work) It's amazing to hear...

Hi - In quick summary, is the Horde not evil? I was in a discussion and made the statement that I couldn't play Horde because they're evil (sorry an old D&D thing of trolls, orcs, kobolds, blah blah blah = evil). A bad call perhaps as I was told to check the history - that the Alliance is evil, ...

I will try to make it if I can. We're leaving before lunch, and it's about a 7 hr drive. So, depending on when we eat dinner, I may be able to attend. (This is assuming, of course, that I'm not being pursued by the authorities after strangling Roman with his seatbelt and leaving him for the turkey ...

I agree on keeping it abstract. Bottom line I was trying to get us thinking. Sure we could mention a run of medical supplies from the core worlds and how we had to outrun pirates... again. But even as the pilot I don't want to play out every last run, and then balance the books to make sure we have...

I was in a seminar in 2005 at GenCon and heard him speak with Bob Bledsaw (Judge's Guild). Very surreal being in the room with Dave. Still passionate about the game and the fun he had with gaming. I should have gotten my Blackmoor book signed by him as the line was long. He was enjoying talking to a...

I heard they worship Grummsh and torture and kill out of curiosity!

Isn't Grummsh good now? Didn't he replace Heironeous in 4E?

I was reading through those rules last night, and I *think* that you can use your computer to connect to an existing network (DC 10 check) and then gain its Intelligence bonus to any Use Computer checks you make (usually something like +1 or +2 depending on how smart the computer is). This won't al...

Hmmm - possible last minute gift idea.

While it might seem over-used, cliche and may not fit a bunch of Jedi, I like the name of "Lady Luck" or the "Lucky Lady". It may sound a bit pirate-ish but I think it builds character for those 'noble' types that would be on it. Do we think the ship is a he or a she? You went th...

I can already see this transpiring down a dark path...


"Dear Claire, By the time you read this it will be too late. I've gone off to California and to become a centaur. I'm sorry baby, it was a good run while it lasted."

Okay, I only ever seen the movies. Where/When are we looking at so I have an easy reference.

As long as my points are understood and we cover my concerns, any story approach will do. I do like your mention of what the captain does/does not do, etc. Personally, I think we all want Han flying the ship. Since we know little about the personalities and combined with my past experiences, I felt ...

I was thinking of something along the lines of a ranger. Skills but yet Combat oriented. Maybe some demolitions

"own" in this context meaning "up to his eyeballs in debt". :) Ok. Then own does not mean in charge of? Let me explain. I've had bad experiences in the past with situations where someone "owns" the keep, castle, hide-out, spelljammer, etc. and decides to do something t...

Q3) Will the characters' "home/guildhall/clubhouse" be a spacegoing vessel? Who would own it - a player, or an organization such as the jedi council or academy? Or will the clubhouse be a location on-planet somewhere? Consensus so far: It makes sense for the party to have access to a ship...
