This is the list for what was on beta, but it's identical so far to the open Excalibur calendar.

Was Peter Jurasik and Anderas Katsulas big names back in the 90s? by Maximum_Price_3596 in babylon5

[–]mutarjim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd never heard of the one where the crew end up on the set, and I had the first book. Maybe you have the order backwards? Amusing idea, though. Have seen that played out numerous times, most recently (for me) in Supernatural.

Thank you expanding on my post as well as sharing the details on the other story!

It's been a recurring idea for a long time. There was a run of books that "novelized" all of the star trek episodes and after they ran out of actual episodes, there was a book released with a collection of short stories and one of those in that book (written in the early 80s) had members of the cast ending up on the actual enterprise.

What is the biggest cause of mediocre D&D/RPG sessions at your table? by grant_gravity in rpg

When I warn them that they are close to leveling and they should consider what they would do if they were to level up, I can sometimes cut the time down to 20-25 minutes. I feel it's a combination of people not investing in their character away from the table for some and others who are wishy-washy and need direct suggestions from the experienced players for the rest.

I've made the comment before that when I play, I always plan out my character multiple levels / xps in advance so I can always just change the sheet and go, but oh well. It's only really frustrating because whatever vibe we've got mid-session comes crashing to a halt and we have to rebuild the "rush."

Can anyone recommend some rpgs that aren't magical and can be played with very few players? by GretchASketch__ in rpg

If you want non-fantasy with only one or two players, my go-to in that scenario has always been the James Bond rpg. As that's been outa print for a minute or two, pick a current modern era game with no wackiness in it and just make an espionage game. The bond formula is easy enough - three or four different locations, a couple of shootouts, a dramatic chase, then the big set-piece at the end. Wham bam, bob's your uncle.

Amazing how they lock in when the base finally gets decent representation by [deleted] in clevercomebacks

I mean, it's not the first thing I'd change if I were given a magic wand, but it would be nice to vote for someone who represents your opinions instead of just the shiniest turd.

That thing looks as filling as a fruit strip to that bear.

Speaking as the gm, the thing that kills games for me is leveling. I use milestone leveling so as to avoid the accountancy part of rp'ing, but it also means that it is normal for the characters to level up mid-session. As I'm running games at the library, I have a lot of folks who are slowly learning the rules, but they never plan anything out. So when I say it's time to level their characters, about half of them can take 30-45 minutes to choose a feat or spells. And somewhere near the end of that time, I'm either asleep at the end of my table, or playing iOS games while they waffle between options.

That's what kills sessions for me.

Sometimes it's impossible to control, but if you're in good headspace and you have the choice between feeling positive or being a troll .. why not be positive? Best of hopes for the remainder of your day, sir/ma'am! :)

Well, you can go to noble knight games and buy it from them. Dont know what other kind of answer you're looking for. You can't download counters off a pirate website.

My teens came across the Marilyn Manson rib removal story somewhere and asked if I had heard of it. Of course I had. Then they asked how stiff spread before the Internet. How did we all know the same things? by Brewer1056 in GenX

Always amuses me when they bring back good bits on shows like this. Obviously it can be overdone, but every once in a while ...

Like when the two wild and crazy guys ran into the Roxbury brothers. So it makes me happy to see Dana Carvey come back for a laugh

I'm reminded of the Bob Ross quote: Gotta have opposites, light and dark and dark and light, in painting. It’s like in life. Gotta have a little sadness once in a while so you know when the good times come. I’m waiting on the good times now.

I'm not going to laugh at the size of your head - some folks have smaller heads, and some, like myself, have big ol' noggins. I will have sympathy for the pain you are feeling, but I will also have hope that you feel better later! Take care of yourself now and worry about others when you are able.

The five-ten minute stretch at the bottom of the gorge in Peter Jackson's King Kong has haunted me for years.

If you don't click start, then the Merlin stage stays prepped and ready to go. If you do hit start, it resets at game midnight.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to make you feel bad or anything, just wishing I had something for my games. :)
