Topic: Avengers Discussion (Spoilers!)
Subject: Totally Wicked
I saw it on Monday and i loved the movie. Very well done in that it was funny in places, serious in others and told a story just like reading a comic. I will defeinitely be seeing it again and buying the Blu-ray.
Did anyone get the after-credit clip? Who was the villian? Is that Thanos?

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA
Subject: comm calm
Wolf has a working comm but you'd need to find the frequency they were using. That is not impossible, but it will be difficult. Wolf could use his Mech skills to try (use comm to quickly click through frequencies until you hear the brother's comm give feedback). Wolf might even have local knowledge to know what range was likely given he knows the brothers.
Another option would to drop down at same time, as he is distracted by radio and hope that two targets will cause a moment indecision that you can use.
Or drop a flashbang and pray the mine doesn't collaspes, because if it does and you survive, you will still be unemployed.

Topic: Voyages of Rocinante - Serenity/Firefly RPG
Subject: Here we go
Hornsilver Mine - Secret Room, Regina, Frisco, Day Nine 12:20 am Planet Time
Wyatt and Sam lifted the lid up and moved it to the side. The lid is heavy, very heavy and it takes some effort for the boys to lift it up and put it down without letting it drop and crash. Once it is done, all four of you look at what awaits you inside.
There is a second layer inside the sarcophagi, and it appears to be made of lead. The lid within is smooth with no handhold except a single latch on the one side with a pull lever. Theis lever would normally be used to hold a vacuum seal within, thus but pulling you break the seal and let air in to lift the lid. The lever has been welded shut. Embossed on the lid are the images of hundreds of skulls and an inscription "Rung Tse Fwo Tzoo Bao Yo Wuo Muhu" (Merciful Buddah protect us).
"That looks pretty gorram airtight to me...." Sam says with a whistle and steps back from the coffin. "Don't know about all you but I'm not feeling to keen on this here treasure anymore."
Brigit laughed, "don't worry lover, I got this one covered." and she hikes up her skirt to pull a 6 inch long strip of tape from her thigh clip. Without waiting for approval, she puts the tape across the sealed lever and pulls off the backing. "Shield your eyes Sugarbears!" She calls as she turns her head from the casket. The tape glows brightly for a second and then flared up with a incandescent flash. Where there was a lever before there is now a melted hole in the lid. There is a sound, of a mechanism release and the lid lifts up on its own.
Beneath the lead lid is huge pile of platinum bars, coins and ingots. They are stacked neatly in the bottom of the sarcophagi, waiting to be had. Except that there is a third lid of glass covering the loot. The melted lead has pooled and started to hardened on the glass but did not melt through. Etched in the glass is "Tze Sh'unTze Mieh" (Leave one to his own fate).
Willow spots something tucked with the wall of the glass lid and the lead box. She sees it is a data disk, marked with independence markings.
Brigit curses like a freighter driver on a Kessel run. "Another lid? Just wasting our time! Sam! Shoot the glass and it will shatter. Or we can take that first lid you boys lifted off and drop it on the glass. Look at the platinum! We are rich! What are you waiting for?"
Hornsilver Mine - Old Shaft, Regina, Frisco, Day Nine 12:20 am Planet Time
Ash and Wolf continue down the shaft as quietly as they could but every groan of the rebar ladder, every step on the ladders and every breath they took seemed like a brass band playing "I'm here" as loud as can be. They reached the edge of the old shaft and waited a second. Below them, there seemed to be a circular metal plate in the floor, cleaner than anything in a mine should be unless someone or something just wiped it clean. Doesn't take a genius for both of them to realize it is a doorway down to something and it has been opened recently.
"Winnie! You there! Come on girl! Answer me" A voice whispers in the shaft below along with the keying of a mike. "Darryl? Douglas? You boys there?" *Click**Click**Click**Click* "Stupid gorram thing is broken."
The last Mustard brother waits in the dark, and if either Wolf or Ash were in the position the bet, they be betting he is watching the door below them, waiting for it to open - which was incidentally where they would land too. Just as they start to think about plan or diversion though, the heard the sounds of gunfire. Hard to say where from the echoes in the mind, but far enough away.
"Sheriff! Sheriff! You okay! You need Backup!?" The brother says loudly into his comm set and you hear him getting up and moving. This could be your best and only chance....

Topic: Looking for advice
Subject: Wow
Welcome to an opportunity. I am very very very (throw a few more very's in there) happy to hear that your friends are interested.
Olan is right, use the rules you are most comfortable with and start with a module. I will definitely help you if you want. But remember that being the DM is not for everyone.
We can talk when I get home tonight. I have edition 2 and 3 upstair on my shelf. But sounds great.

Subject: I limit stacking
I limit the stacking of protection items to two. So you could have magic armour and a ring of protection, but no cloak. Bracers of AC 4 and a cloak of protection, but no magical armour. Etc etc etc

Topic: Gender Roles (an unorganized possible feminist rant)
Subject: well
I had the honour of DMing a group for a number of years, that was four females and one male. The one male was the thief. The women were Barbarian, Ranger, Cleric and Archer/mage.
Gender roles are out there but you can easily buck the trend within your own party.

60 Minutes on the dangers of D&D
I came across this link (not very good quality) that shows what it was like back in the 80's when D&D first came out. People actually believed that it was linked to death, satanism and suicide. I started gaming in 1982-3 so I heard a lot from the nay-sayers and BADD (Bothered about D&D).

Actually Bob - I am on script #31 already. As with RPG MB, (5 ahead) as I am a writer it is easy for me to get ahead. It is the artists that do all the work so they have the timelines to meet. I'd draw if I could but even my stick figures look fat.

Topic: Floyd Hiatus
Subject: Floyd Hiatus
Hello all,
Brittany (Jing) is going to school and has a rough schedule so she will be going on a comic haitus for a few months (July). I fully support the need to go to school and pay attention to classes.
So what to do? I can take the haitus. I could start another temp comic called Corny (about a completely mad elven ranger and the party that follows him) or I could look for someone to fill the gap until Jing is ready. Not sure about the last one because by the time I found someone it could be July anyway.
Anyway, please give your support and love to Jing and feel free to give any feedback to me on my options.

I recently discovered Will Wheaton's Youtube series called "Tabletop". It is a half hour show that basically picks a board game and then has Will and friends (some celebrities and quasi celebs) play the game while explaining the mechanics.
I really enjoyed the show, found the format keep the show interesting and made me want to go out and play the game.
Please give it a look. Love to hear what other people think of it. if you do like it, please share with friends and other gamers.
