I don't want to see either of you anywhere near this thread again. You hear me! Both of you guys did awesome, Awesome work in #10. The only thing you gents need to concern yourselves with is what's next! Oooh!! I call dibs on the starfish panda!
MiKe, you are a point of light in a thread full of darkness. Thanks buddy! P.S. Right back at ya - History of Ashes rocks!!
I feel like I'm in a basketball game and have just committed a foul [raises hand]. Akyrak 1
Personally, I think he's going to have a horrible season, he's showing up late to camp, he needs to learn a new offense, and the Jets offensive line was completely revamped in the offseason, so who knows how they are going to do. This is what I don't understand about the trade from Favre's perspective. He likely WON'T make an immediate impact with the Jets (sorry Yoda), they are clearly in a building phase. As Bill pointed out, Favre's not exactly a spring chicken. He did look tired at the end of last season, and an old man at camp last week. How many seasons does New York think he's got left in him?
Yeah, and as great as he has been I think he should have stayed retired. Still it should be interesting to see how this plays out. I've been following this fairly closely on the NFL Network (it's kinda hard not to, with the 24 hour coverage and all). I get the impression that Brett didn't want to retire in the first place, that Green Bay forced the issue on him. The Packers were 1 game away from the Super Bowl last year, and I don't see them getting that close again anytime soon with a young, untested quarterback. It's baffling, really, why they would want to throw away a chance at another Super Bowl. Not to mention the fact the Favre would have been a fantastic mentor for their future quarterback. It's going to be fun to watch the Packers this year. It will be interesting to see if the Vikings create discussions with the Jets. None of the news channels are talking about the poison pill regarding Minnesota in the deal. They're the team that could have the greatest impact from Favre, and the one team that Green Bay refused to talk to (they even filed a complaint with the NFL regarding Minnesota "tampering" with Favre, lol). The next few days should be telling.
Storm rocs belong to the top carnivore trophic layer along with wyverns and a few others (I'd have to dig out my food web notes, I don't remember which others were in there off the top of my head). The storm roc entry is poorly written - top predators certainly do contend with one another over the same food sources, especially in a place as austere as the Cinderlands. However, if a storm roc decides that it fancies another predator's lunch there's not much that's going to stop it. Wyverns, being stubborn and stupid (and maybe a little hungry?), tend to object to this and put up a good fight over any carcass. Edit: didn't say it, so I'll add it - I'm not expecting the wyverns are prey themselves, due to their poison and other factors. Wouldn't expect CR 9 predators to view CR 6 predators as lunch. Correct. Top carnivores aren't prey themselves (that's what makes them top carnivores). Hope this helps!!
Wow! That IS a huge compliment - thank you very much Golem!! The Cinderlands piece was a blast to write and I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity. To reiterate what Mike said a couple posts up, without our brilliant editors this stuff would only be half as cool, so hat's off to them.
Carl Sargent, hands down. Whatever happened to him?If I remember correctly, Carl passed away several years back. I loved his stuff too, though he had a lot of haters as well. I've seen that on a messageboard somewhere, can't remember which one (canonfire maybe?). I love Carl's work, it's some of my all-time favorite RPG material. I know he took some hits for the "From the Ashes" period of Greyhawk, but I thought that work was brilliant (despite the fact that at the time my home campaign was set in Geoff). It is truly unfortunate that Ivid never saw print.
I think the last thing she ever did for the RPG industry was in 1983. Try Gary Gygax's Castle Zagyg for some of Darlene's recent RPG work.
IF you don't, then you will never get to see the amazing stuff we have to offer like THIS.I just got rickroll'd by Mike McArtor... must...click...link...resolve slipping...can't...reach...utility belt.. Oaths be damned!! I'm clicking it! NOOOOO!!! *runs away screaming again*
I just got rickroll'd by Mike McArtor... On this day I swear an oath - I will never, ever, click on a link on these boards again. I would gouge my eyes out after that, but it would do no good as the image is forever burned into my brain. *runs away screaming*
Any ideas on the weeds effects? This is probably too late for you, but if anyone has the same need for this you can find a pretty good write-up in GameMastery W2 River into Darkness, look for the Red Ague sidebar. The sidebar covers vetch, but can also be used for locoweed. You can also Google for swainsonine, which is the toxic agent in both locoweed and vetch. Here's a link (note the pic of the birth defects caused by swainsonine - that would make for a pretty creepy dinosaur encounter.).
...wrote the theme song to Three's Company
I thought that was the purpose of the green devil-face in Tomb of Horrors... I thought this too, but then I realized that a lich doesn't need to pee (besides, Acererak's "Lil' Archie" stopped working and fell off eons ago).
My money is on the Shoanti. The bug's going on its back with a big frikkin' spear coming down. Nah, what you're not seeing is the next scene - that Shoanti punk being drug down into the bug's hole kicking and screaming, desperately clawing at his face in a futile attempt at removing the steaming gob of acid that the bug is preparing to spit at him, only to be hewn into two as another, off-scene ankheg rips off his legs as the two bugs contend for lunch in a bloody tug of war. That boy is toast man, toast I say! |
