I'm still trying to figure out what to do about the thief class in my new sandbox campaign project, hopefully Uncle Gary's book about thieves can help out. And Splicers looks rad to the max. Based upon what I've read so far here's my high concept tagline: In the future, the robots keep humans in zoos. I like any rpg that makes it that easy to who I am supposed to be punching.
Anyway, thanks Zachary!
Have you seen this dragon?
The above pic is from an eBay auction. I love the figure. It's exactly what I've been looking for. But I don't want to pay ten bucks for it, especially when it's been painted the wrong color for my needs. The listing says it measures only 1.5 inches tall, so I'm guessing it's from a 15mm line. I know nothing about 15mm figures. Can any of you smart Gamblog readers identify this dragon for me?
Or in the alternative, if you know of another mini of a wingless dragon with a pointy tail, let me know.
I've been keeping away from RPGNow since they hooked up with DriveThruRPG. I just don't like those DriveThru guys. That whole DRM scheme of theirs was dubious in the extreme. But I went and gave RPGNow some money this morning, because I happened to discover that Judges Guild is running a bigass PDF sale. At $1.99 apiece I can swallow my pride/ignore my principles. Rather than languish in secret shame for being a sell-out, I thought I'd pass along the chance to get some cheap JG goodness. But then I shop at Wal-Mart all the time, so clearly I'm already a soulless consumer drone.
Either way, I now have pretty much the entire Castle/Village/Island Book series. Those ought to be great fodder for my sandbox project.
I saw this pic and immediately thought of my buddy Pat. I'm posting it here so he can snag a copy.
Another question for my readers: Did any of you read my recent post on Exotic Characters and Worlds and then go bid on the copy for sale on eBay? I don't hold outbidding me against anyone, as I am a huge eBay cheapskate and expect to lose more auctions than I win. I'm just curious how much my little article contributed to the otherwise inexplicably high sale price.

Wasn't me. I did have a peek though.
ReplyDeleteGuilty as charged. And I tried to throw some cash at the same seller's Arduin modules, but quickly got outbid on those, too. Then I got outbid on nice copies of Tegel Manor and Viridistan by Orcus himself. That told me right there that the demon gods don't want me spending money on eBay right now... :(
ReplyDeleteI didn't do any bidding - it had already passed my threshold for "amount I'm willing to spend, sight unseen, on something that will probably be goofy fun rather than immediately useful". But then, I'm a well known cheapskate.
ReplyDeleteDriveThruRPG has gotten rid of their DRM schemes now, haven't they? I have an account there but I've never bought anything - I've taken advantage their free downloads though - there are sometimes some real gems that pop up there. (I just can't bring myself to spend money on PDF downloads. That "well known cheapskate" thing again, I suppose).
Jer, DriveThru now sells products without the DRM. I'm not sure if their whole catalog is DRM free or not.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! And my paints arrived! Super-cool, and you just threw a ton of stuff in there! Thanks, man! Hoped Uncle Gary's book & autograph were to your liking.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you'll find plenty of "High-Concept" ideas like that in Palladium products. Remember me to tell you about Rifts: Vampire Kingdoms or Turtles Down Under sometimes.
Jeff, did you buy James's XXXI yet? His city setting for the Wilderlands? Supercheap and highly recommended. I got my copy in the mail recently, and it's outstanding--small page count, but much substance. Also, layout successfully mimics ye olde monochrome D&D adventures, if I catch the reference right.
