Okay, I guess that's pretty much settled then. : ( ... So... How would you make foam shotgun-chucks? With chainsaw bayonettes?

Have I mentioned that I love you guys? Because I think I love you guys.

Hah. I saw that on another forum. It's so very cool, I had no idea you could get that degree of control over a herd of sheep. I wonder if you could build a simple computer with enough sheep and sheep dogs. I wonder if there are any programmers who herd sheep...

As I understand it the government was not made aware of the contracts until recently, and is now working to find ways to either recover the money or limit the amount that is paid out. Personally, I'd love to see the heads of AIG ... roll in a basket under the Guillotine, but the government does...

I like that one. I suppose, in my mind, there's too kinds of traps. The first one is the more practicle game one, the trap that is supposed to act as a simple obstacle for thieves, provided they have the right gear. The other kind of trap I have in my mind is something more like the New York...

That's understandable. Dark Elf math has fifteen different zeroes, including one which is only used when the amount of honor lost by committing a certain action exactly equals the amount of honor you would restore by honorably committing suicide.

I love seeing 'Because we say so' turn into 'Well, about two generations ago there was an awful war between such and such and such and such. The Orcs were violently ejected from their land by a superior force. A couple of tribes, though, painted themselves with blood and jumped around and were...

I suppose you could put a open cell foam thrusting tip on a throwing knife. Can you touch assassinate with thrown weapon?

True. It might not work for a player trap. Field's Metal supposedly casts very well. You could, say, cast a small locket with an important key hidden inside, then create a riddle suggesting it be placed in warm water. What colors work well in a sneaking suit? I've always found that black...

Fields metal is interesting because it melts at 144 degrees. You could literally melt it with a thermos of coffee.

Dear Bossman, I was wondering if you had anything like a wishlist for props. I have enough tools to build a tank from scratch, a small mountain of raw materials, a long list of places to scrounge free stuff, and some free time. I live above a business that gets rid of a lot of cardboard...

I Invoke the powers of Chaos to raise this thread! So... You could make one 'Tonfa' as a standard shortsword with a crossguard that only extends out in one direction, and the other 'Tonfa' as a very oddly shaped shield with no rigid parts. You might be able to get the look while still being...

I am not an honest gentleman. I am not interested in a practical guide to mechanical devices. I am a liar, a cheat, a thief, a swindler, and I may or may not have taken money to incite civil unrest that culminated in the collapse of one or more kingdoms. And I want to talk about traps. Neat...

Ooh! Ooh! oh my god, you could totally make an entirely mechanical light sensitive switch or trigger! It would never work because you'd need to have the thief trigger it at the perfect time of day, but whatever! Okay, so the basic premise rely's on something called Field's Metal. It's a special...

Aww. Reasonable chance of disarming them? That's no fun. I was thinking that it would be truly vicious to set a tensioned trip wire, so that rather than activating when the wire was pulled, it would activate when the wire was cut, releasing a spring loaded lever arm to close a contact on an...

Hrm. So I'd be better off making a relatively simple form and adding any details after the vacuum forming was done? Some days I wish I had access to a couple of hundred dwarves and whatever it is they use to make car body panels. Hmm. I'm tempted to take a HDPE shield, glue various kinds of...

*reads the handbook* Yup. That did answer most of my questions, and it was a good read to boot! Thank you, both for writing it and pointing it out. I even managed to cobble together a very rough map, which helps me a lot to visualize the place, make it seem more real. Are there any major...

Thought: Barbarians don't typically use writing. Which implies they have a primarily oral culture. Which implies that they tell stories, teach lessons, remember laws, history, and lineages, and discuss philosophy primarily by oral means. Which, in turn, suggests that whatever language they do...

I was wondering if we could get a short recap of the story thus far, say from the perspective of one of the townsfolk of wherever it was we were last weekend. I saw most of the event from the wrong end of a greatsword. I don't know exactly what all was going on, except that a lot of Kobold's...

Well, there was that time I was a kobold and got splattered, and that other time I was a kobold and got splattered. Ooh, and in the afternoon, I was a kobold, and I got splattered! I actually had a dream that night which involved an endless wall of angry people in armor waving boffers at me...
