To quote my brother: "Paolo Oscarot is what happens when Jason Bourne is played by Chris Farley." He is based initially on Paolo Veratza, my text based halfling rogue who posed as a paladin (Dragonrealms anyone?), most everything else are snippets of various spy tropes crossed with scientist...

In terms of "War Stories", There is one story that had created a much need bit of hilarity. In the Mid-Late 2000's. HQ (Deathwatch era) ran a classic crypt module. The set up had a choke point one man large with some ridiculous undead casters on the other end. Try as we might.... we could not...

Re: What about our ruleset is actually good for our game now My thoughts: 1.)The rules are built to allow players to transfer from one game to another. This has allowed a multifaceted story to emerge from the various cultures of each game. 2.)The rules to create weapon reps have allowed for a...

Step 1.) Whoa Step 2.) "Supercharged" Racial Transformation... into your own race. Biata could transform into Griffons for a day. MWEs turn into actual Fae. Twilight elves should be very worried about this... Humans... well they are probably transforming into another race anyway... :P Step 3.)...

The reason why XP is needed at some level is because while everyone may not get the same amount of build from attending an event. The amount of build that everyone receives is proportional to everyone else. The XP that everyone gets from something is the same, the amount of build is not. It is a...

My thoughts on simplification (In regards to eXperience Points): XP is a necessary evil. Without the underlying concept that events grant you XP instead of Build, you would end up with fractions of build being awarded to players. As someone with computer science knowledge, taking a system that...

I am very happy about this announcement. It makes sense for parts of this site's message boards, the rules section in particular, to have a more moderated discussion. If Michelle could moderate every thread by herself, I have no doubt that she would. A team of moderators distributes the task in...

My Lord Landcharmer, I am glad to have served with a mighty fleet. When next the mist bring us together... we shall split a bottle of wine. The lands of the Hallow shall hold a odd place in my heart, and I was glad to defend it. I guess I have to find a way up the the Deadlands and test my...

Dear Deadlands Plot, Awesome sauce! You got Poalo's actions spot on. It almost played out like a movie directed by Frank Miller. I think the best part of the entire narrative was how it was interwoven, in third person, between allied and enemy forces. Good Job, Mike D./Poalo

Re: The Battle of Eire and Aolia against Sadeen Moor I bet a copper that somehow Paolo and Riddick are going to help Michiko fight a Sadeen Mor Kraken. Twilight elves love to kill giant... Krakens. >.> Already in a Fire, Mike

I reckon even the most stubborn Pure Lord would have trouble disbelieving an explosive trap. I grow tired of fighting inhuman insects, perhaps a change of scenery and opponent can cleanse my palette from my particular onslaught. Lord Amaranthus, my unique talents are at your disposal. Riddick...

The primary issue at hand is there is nothing in a golem system for which the intoxication can take hold. Even if something can get you drunk for five days straight, it would end as soon as your mind was put into the construct. While battle magic tends to be a bit inflexible, high magic tends to...

105. If you ever accidentally throw a mace at a fey while they are rifting out, never ask "If it worked". (Only counts in Deadlands) 106. If you step foot inside a circle, chances are the only person that can get you out just left. 107. Disarms are Death Spells, unless they have claws. 108...

Young Wynn Pimpin Wynn Let the avalanche begin, Mike D./Paolo O.

Veil, You do not understand what it means to have your mind shattered by pain. If you and all of the possible permutations of you wish to understand this, I recommend private discourse in the realm of dreams. I have been told my dreaming mind is a sight to behold. If all that it takes to awaken...

"Public Endangerment" implies that our actions could possibly make it worse. It has been clearly shown, through words and deeds, that the Lord of Nightmares, Fever Gray, is at war with all those who are not subjugated under his will. Any apparent increase now would have happened regardless of...
