If you are interested in a spaceship battle game there is a kickstarter going on right now. Or if you just interested in some spaceship miniatures.

Oriental Trading Company has cheap Skeleton Warrior Figures (4 dozen for $6.99+shipping). Appear to be Large sized. They would need to be based.


Does anybody have a good tutorial on how to paint body hair on a miniature. I find it so strange that my hill giants all look they have been manscaped.

The exemplar is going to be a replacement for the paladin. It is going to be a class that can work for any alignment and built on the paladin chassis, the paladin being the LG version of the exemplar class.

First we'll have to decide which features are going to be specific to the LG version (paladin) and which features are going to apply to all exemplars.
Paladin Features:

  • d10 HD
  • The paladin's class skills are Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (nobility) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).
  • 2 + Int skill points
  • Full base attack
  • Good Fort and Will saves
  • 1/2 - spell casting (4 levels)
  • Spell list
  • Weapon and armor proficiencies
  • Aura of Good.
  • Detect evil
  • Smite evil
  • Divine grace
  • Lay on hands
  • Aura of Xs
  • Mercies
  • Channel positive energy
  • Divine bond
  • Holy Champion
  • Code of Conduct
  • Associates

    So what is every exemplar going to share? I think we can all agree with keeping the HD, skill points (I think the number is too low, but ...PF), base attack, saves, weapon and armor proficiencies, and spell casting.

    Because it looks like some cast a curse on the Paizo boards. They are getting spammed up daily it seems like.


    So what did you think? Did you watch all three episodes?


    For anyone interested, there is an alien vs. predators boardgame kickstarter going on. I looked at it and it is really tempting, but just too pricey for me.

    But it got me thinking about any stand ins for official aliens (xenomorphs) and predators that are out there. I noticed that Reaper has knock off Terminators
    Cyber-Reapers

    But I couldn't really find good stand-ins for either Predators or Aliens (they have a few guys that would make good hydralisks though).

    So has anybody seen any that would be a pretty good match?


    Let's hear the tell-tale signs and the horror stories of bad GMs we have seen through out the years and what are the lessons we have learned by this examples of what not to do.


    Lawyers didn't intend for EA to stop making college football franchise

    EA's official announcement

    This is why we can't have nice things.


    So what did you think?

    I got hit with a thought while watching it.

    Spoiler:
    Coulson is going to be Ultron!

    The whole "He can't ever know." is foreshadowing. He learns he is not real, goes nutso and becomes the Avengers biggest foe.

    Mainly because Joss Whedon likes to crap on characters that fans like, that he is not excited about. Killing Coulson probably won't be enough, he also has to destroy his legacy.


    Joss Whedon Blasts 'Twilight,' Calls 'Empire Strikes Back' Ending a 'Cardinal Sin'

    Also I heard somewhere that while he though the Fellowship also had the same sin, he did find the killing off of Boromir a good directorial decision, though it would have been better if Merry and Pippin had been killed off as well in his view.


    Honda is trying to save the U.S.'s drive-in theaters.

    This got me think about drive-ins. It has been years since I went to one, all the ones nearby are out of business. But it seems to be something that might work for people with small children, want to text and chat during the movie, etc.

    Thoughts?


    Shuriken Board Game

    Looking for a bunch of ninja miniatures, looks like for $25 you can get 100 of them.

    Post your pics of paint jobs of your Reaper bones.

    Here's my first two (sorry for the low quality images, I have the cheapest phone in existance).

    Show your love, hate, or indifference to these weapons. Call them out, correct someone else, tell how they should work, how they do work, how officials define them to work. This isn't a rule discussion specifically, though you are of course free to discuss the rules. You want to say official calls are dumb, do it here.


    Looks kind of interesting.

    I recommend the 2nd session episode "D&DD".


    Disney child star Annette Funicello dies at age 70

    Funicello died at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, California, from complications of multiple sclerosis, the television and film studio said.


    I have found that the MinWax I got tends to be too dark if I shake it up, it is typically fine if it has sat for a few days and settled. I was wondering if anyone has every found a good way to dilute it. I am more worried about if I ever get low enough that the settling isn't enough. Would mixing it with Future floor wax do the trick, something else, or is it pretty much a lost cause and at that point I should just toss it?


    So a guy was playing a fighter 11/barbarian 3 (maybe f12/b2). He was sacrificing his highest attack to use Rapid Attack to move around and attacking and slaughtering. He used Wild Fighting to give him an extra attack at his highest level (-2 on all attacks), basically getting back the one he sacrificed to use rapid attack. Add in haste, he was doing 4 attacks (2 at his highest, though all at a -2 penalty) and being able to move in the same round.

    My thought was that since he sacrificed his highest to use rapid attack, the bonus attacks due to wild fighting and haste should be at his second highest bonus, not his highest. Basically he was making his second highest attack his new highest attack bonus.


    Story here.

    Discuss.


    Well played Asylum films, well played. *slow golf clap*


    Hey, I liked it. I mean if you are looking for something thought provoking or cutting edge, yeah, you should skip it. But if you want to see someone go and blow away a lot of bad guys, this definitely the movie to watch. Save the drama for your mama, and go see some heads explode.


    Just checking on this order. It was suppose to ship in 2-6 business days, and this is the 7th day. I realize things might be running a little behind due to Gen Con, so no big deal, but I just want to make sure that the order sheet didn't fall behind a desk or something on its way to the warehouse.

    Thanks for your help.


    If a cleric does not have heavy armor proficiency, do they take the penalties for the heavy armor created by the Instant Armor spell?

    If yes, is the armor considered "masterwork"?


    If you successfully reverse a grapple do you also get to do one of the additional actions (move, damage, pin, tie up)? Or is it just the equivalent of starting a brand new grapple.


    Here is a little product for you and your group.


    The title pretty much covers it. I'm looking for some cheap cavemen, medium sized, no steel weapons.


    He went to 11 (times 8).


    I'm looking for any suggestions people might have for races of creatures that might be found in a drow society, most likely as slaves or servants, with a spider type relationship. The flavor of the creature can be changed, just as driders were.

    Things like chitines for example. In a couple of weeks my group is going to be doing the 4th book, and I wanted to give them some other options of creatures to impersonate besides just drow. I would especially like small and large choices, not just medium.

    Thanks for any help.

    Also, it would be preferred if the creatures don't have natural spellcasting abilities, though that is not absolutely necessary.


    Feds: Ohioan against fur planned murder-for-hire

    Looks like running around naked and throwing paint on people just hasn't been convincing enough. Evidently the only way to convince someone your position is right is to kill them.


    Lockout

    Yeah, its not an Escape New York rip-off, LOL.


    Anybody else get a very Raimi vib from it?

    It reminded me of a bit of Darkman.

    Movie sword-fight master Bob Anderson dies at 89

    Among other things Bob Anderson stepped up as a stunt double for Darth Vader in Empire and Return, as well as training the stuntmen for the Lord of the Rings.


    And by extension, I guess I could ask, what is a "Celestial"?

    How are the descriptions defined?

    Is any outsider with an evil subtype considered a fiend?
    Are only demons and devils, true fiends?
    Outsiders with the evil subtype, but not necessarily native to one of the evil aligned planes (such as a howler), could they be fiends?

    As well as similar questions for Celestial beings.


    As the title suggests, feel free to rant about any type of representation for gaming you wish. Here is the place to do it.


    So I was looking at some of the cone diagrams and I looked at what it says in the dragon breath weapon about the cone shaped breath ones and something just doesn't jive.

    SRD wrote:
    A cone is as high and wide as its length.

    This makes me think that 30 ft cone should be 30 feet at its widest, yet in the 30 foot cone diagram, it hits a maximum width of 40 feet (8 squares).

    Are dragon breath weapons different than other cones?


    GameStop under fire for removing free coupons from Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    I hope they are informing their customers, otherwise I'd take them to small claims court.


    Nothing? Motivates them to increase the rate of production? Motivates them to just drop the idea altogether?

    Any thoughts?


    Just saw it. Pretty good up until the last 15 minutes or so, at which point it just started sucking ass.


    The title pretty much covers the question, are there any Planetouched put out by OGL products? I am especially interested Lawful and Chaos planetouched.


    Out of game discussion for Average Schmoes


    This is the thread that the pbp will take place in.


    On the corner of the busy city street a crier calls out,
    "Listen Everyone!
    Are you tired of your mundane lives?
    Tired of scratching out a living here in this city?
    Do you want to see new and exciting places?
    Do you hunger for adventure and danger?
    Then the Order of the Broken Spear is looking for you!
    The Order is looking for people to serve on their sailing vessel as they explore the Isles of the Lost.
    The Order needs people that can handle themselves in a fight.
    They need people that can help those that are injuried or sick.
    They need people with experience handling a ship in dangerous waters.
    Don't have any training? Don't worry, you can learn while you scrub the decks.
    Here is your opportunity to go out and see lands no one has ever explored before.
    To see beauties and beasts undreamed of.
    So if you want to live of life of high adventure, go to the Albino Orca down at the docks and apply.
    They will be looking for workers for the next several days,
    but don't wait too long, you might miss your chance at a life of destiny."

    Set-Up: The Order of the Broken Spear, a heroic group of adventurers, is about to set sail for the uncharted lands of the Isles of the Lost. This promises to be an exciting adventure, but they need a ship and a crew to aid them. The Order has thus hired the Albino Orca, a ship captained by a half-elf by the name of Sander Two-Edged. A fair portion of the Albino's crew has left the ship, fearing to go into the Isles of the Lost, a dangerous region of the seas that is believed to be haunted and worse. Thus Captain Two-Edged has decided to recruit some replacement workers from the local (and probably naive) people. And this is where you come in. You're just an average shmoe looking to get some excitement, and this is your chance. But don't worry, you won't be taking on the evil Necromancers, that is the job of the Order. You will instead have to deal with clean up, perhaps fight off a few wandering zombies and such. It is not a noble calling, but hey, somebody has to do it.


    I ran across someone suggesting that the d6 Space would be a good choice for a Sci-Fi game. I've downloaded the rules from Drive-Thru (for free if you haven't got them, you probably should).

    I learn better through observation and doing than just a strict reading. I have given the rules a glance through, but don't really feel entirely comfortable with it.

    So if you play d6, please feel free to use this thread to discuss the rules. If you taught the game to new players, I'd appreciate you give a walk through like you would to them.

    Thanks for all your input.
