The Electric Speakeasy

I like that you found a way to do that with D&D. That's cool as hell. Two of my players came up with personal touches; the Kensai had a deadly one-two combination he referred to as "the treatment". One strike was an eagle claw punch, it did 3d10 damage- followed up by a crushing blow that did norma...

Sounds like you either found a rule I didn't or just house-ruled your way around it though. I used Oriental Adventures 1st Edition to bring martial arts to the campaign. One character was a Kensai (if you're not familiar with that, it's essentially a weapons specialist) who chose martial arts as hi...

(My story behind the charred trog kids) In a previous campaign I created a clan of warriors armed with tridents and martial arts, and they were always a bitch to deal with. There were never any spellcasters among the bunch, but they always had a slew of special maneuvers to throw the PCs off balance...

I partially agree with Cousi, that resembles the Pennsylvania shale/slate driveways of my youth. I'm thinking either the bottom of an aquarium or slate rocks for a driveway. Yeah, close enough- it was an area of lawn near a driveway where there would normally be grass- the owners decided rocks woul...

I'll have to put up a picture of the SuperChip one of these days. Made on a 1940-dated lathe the size of a minivan, turning approximately 16rpm and taking a .250 cut with a burnt-out carbide cutter. It was something to see. I've still got a length of it rolling around my toolbox somewhere. I'd like...

This started last year, I believe- and normally, it's not supposed to start again until December 1st... but as the radio is playing Christmas music ALREADY, it may be time to begin early! https://whamageddon.com/ The object is simple: Go throughout the entire season without hearing the song "Last Ch...

I love that cartoon! The only politics in gaming are the politics I create . I've only had a player try to introduce modern politics once and I shut that shit down right fucking quick. I have no tolerance for it. My nephew runs a game every so often and while he does calculate the XP, he will add n...

That is so true! 2001 is a great movie, but it is a very intellectual movie. You have to pay attention to it. Well, you kind of have to pay attention to any Kubrick movie really, because even after watching them ten times there's always some detail you'll catch for the first time. Any time I hear s...
