If he's in the barrel, and it is rolling downhill, that just might work. Yes, I know, you mean the other Starfox.

You might have read that in reverse.

No, I am not giving him the views at this point. What was said?

It's hard for me to separate out what was in the initial rulebook from what was added in supplements/revised editions, but I think there was a gradual shift. Initially, I think the Camarilla were supposed to be a flawed but often well-intentioned power structure. All vampires were struggling to...

Champions/Hero System had (depending on edition) various rules about experimenting with existing powers. Basically, if your power did X (say, single-target attack defined as a fire attack), you could ask "can I strafe it across an area, like a weak flame thrower, to scare off the masses of rats...

I'm mostly trying to enjoy myself while seeking continuation of play.

We're... an interesting country. Look at it this way -- we just named the thing the One Big Beautiful Bill/Big Beautiful Bill Act (P.L. 119-21). Back in 2001, we went to the trouble to make it spell out the thing with the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required...

I don't know how much original intent matters in this case. Edwards' article was somewhat influential to perpetually online gamerdom back in 2002. Now? Whatever people think it means, it probably means. That said, I don't know that there is a lot of consistency there. I think some people do...

Hmm. I'm not immediately finding it in my DMG. I see that 1E (DMG pp. 64-66) had to-hit bonuses and penalties for charging; cover; flanking; invisibility; rear-attacks; and opponents who are encumbered, held by both legs, held by one leg, motionless, off balance, partially bound, prone, slowed...

This might be another one of those vary-by-group things like we keep finding about gaming BitD. I strongly recall always looking for ways to get the elevation bonus, back-attack, and so on. Other than choosing to shoot/rush into melee, or trying to cycle low-hp melee types back to the second...

Right, and for storytelling purposes, it works well enough. The show did a good job of making it right next to Clark's objectives without someone necessarily knowing that it was his weakness. So that's still a toggle we can explore. A central conceit of that show is that the "meteor rocks"...

I'm inordinately fond of the anti-joke. The troll joke. The 'we could have made a joke here, but instead were not and pointing it out' joke. As bad as it was, I love that the Rob Zombie The Munsters film paid for Cassandra Peterson to show up as a realtor, tease that she was going to be...

Isn't that true for a lot of classes with one save or another? Rangers and Monks attribute needs sit perfectly on top of the 3 common saves (hamstrung only in that they get proficiency in Dex, arguably the least important of the 3). Paladins get to add their Charisma to everything (halfway...

I would absolutely love it if he is just RDJ, has the mask off frequently, and they just never explain or acknowledge it. Mayyybe have one of the returning characters say, "he looks familiar, but I can't quite place it..."

This is another great big question mark. How common is our Kryptonite (for the remnants of an exploded planet from -- checks modern canon-- 27.1 light years distant, the stuff sure seems to be everywhere on Earth)? Is it a known super-rare object likely put in a lab whenever discovered? Does...
