In last night's (final) "Ghourmand Vale" session, the PCs: Figured out the cubic gate they'd been holding on to was not only a lich's phylactery, but that the lich's soul had already left it as it remanifested a new undead body Figured it must have been the lich that they'd seen reforming a...

The last panel, though: "I could go just get them for you." Looks like a couple of words got swapped around. Johnathan

Okay, Joe's made his PC. He'll be running a changeling rogue named Kruz Taszan. Note this will not be an Eberron-styled changeling (human with doppelganger blood), but rather a mythological "fey switched at birth with a mortal baby" changeling, as per the PC race write-up in a Dragon article...

Lich didn't expect elemental swarm. Johnathan

Cosmos 13 episodes of easy-to-understand and fascinating science, and an initial introduction to the music of Vangelis to a great many. Johnathan

Crossbow This was a 1980s half-hour historical adventure series showing William Tell getting involved with righting various injustices in Switzerland. Season one was good, and season two was still okay (but once he got reunited with his bratty son the irritation factor rose significantly)...

I finished Extinction and while it was good, it had a plot twist I saw coming 200 or so pages before the reveal. But now I'm starting a novel by Poppy Kuroki called Gate to Kagoshima. It involves a young Japanese woman in the present day who accidentally gets sent back 128 years earlier, at...

Here's another one I just thought of; we used to watch it on our PBS station many years back. Blakes 7 It had early Doctor Who-like levels of special effects (due to the same reason: budget constraints), but excellent characters, concepts, and imaginative writing, even if almost every planet...

Those are viable alternatives to those willing to pay those prices...I tend to scale a bit closer to the "cheapskate" end of the spectrum. :) Desk calendars had the advantage of being free (I used to gather up everyone's sheets in my office at the end of the month, back when we all used desk...

I used to use the backs of desk calendar pages: measuring off 1" squares with a yardstick, then drawing the map features as needed. Those are stored in a dresser drawer in my game room, rolled up in a cardboard toilet paper roll with the name of the adventure written on the roll. When my desk...

Well, just to finish off the campaign from where I left off: 96. Field Trip to Hell 97. Coronation Day 98. Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Undeath 99. The Conclave of Skulls 100. Undead Dreams I managed to get one last "________ Dreams" title in there at the end. And in...

And where does Superman and the Mole Men fall on your list, Morrus? First Superman movie ever, I believe. Johnathan

I had a coworker claim he liked all types of music. So I asked him if that included Klingon opera. He then updated his claim to "almost all types of music." Johnathan

And another show I really enjoyed as a teen and would love to watch again, if I could ever find the series on DVD: The Goodies Johnathan
