Oops! Found my answer on the class page near the mustering out bennies. :oops:

This may be a really dumb question, but I'm new to the game and am trying to roll up a character. It says on page 8 that "a character who succeeds at a commission roll becomes a rank 1 officer in that career . . . ." I don't see anywhere what the commission roll difficulty is. I didn't see it...

I'm trying to convince the wife. I skipped last year but went to the previous two before that. My cunning plan was to get my wife and daughter to fall in love with Indy; we now visit about 2 to 3 times a year to go to the Children's Museum and the Indy Zoo, so maybe it will bear fruit this...

Darn, I'm going to have to go out and buy this movie. It's been years since I've seen it and it's one of my favorites. Definitely my favorite Tarantino work, in spite of it starring Christian Slater. The scene between Hopper and Walken is priceless. Walken: "Sicilians are great liars. The...

I didn't think it was a very good movie. The gorgeous cinematography, though, would have been great in a Hyboria movie. If only.

Well, if you have a 19th level fighter, you get shield mastery which has a 10 DR. I have a feeling that's not what you're looking for, though.

Uh, actually, I'll raise my hand here. I bought the set last Thursday and couldn't wait to get it home. Upon opening and looking at the map, I was let down. The canals seemed way too big for the city, but that was a minor complaint. My big problem with the map is that it seems so...artificial...

Yep, just got my copy Friday after work. I also got Green Ronin's "Medeival Player's Guide", which is awesome! The only reason I didn't pick up the Exalted "Player's Guide" too was that I have law school finals in two weeks! So all weekend I've been tortured by my purchases that I don't have...

This is the type of passage that has always impressed me about REH. His power of description is one of the most enjoyable and impressive of any authors I have read. He puts you right in the dusty streets with the characters, and he does it with such confidence. It's hard to believe he never left...

I checked out a copy of "Conan the Conqueror" at my high school library. I was hooked ever since. It had a beat to hell cover. I loved it so much I never returned the book. I think I still have it somewhere. It was the early 80's, so I was able to get the rest of the Conan books at the bookstore...

Hey, where can I get "Scroll of Thoth"? I looked on Chaosium's web site and didn't see it. It sounds like exactly the kind of stories I love to read.

I saw it too. The typos didn't upset me too much; I have yet to find any rpg product without them. Although some of them were kind of amusing. I thought the OGL somehow prevented Mongoose from using the word "spellbook" and they were forced to use "spellb.ook" instead. :) The binding on my...
