American judges are better prepared to deal with SovCit defendants than they were in decades past. I saw a video recently where a defendant claimed the police arrested the wrong person and the judge was keen to hear what he had to say until he started spewing SovCit nonsense. The judge shut it...

I think a lot of Americans are getting a crash course in how civil and criminal trials work in New York, Georgia, and through the federal government thanks to some politicial situations I'm not going to get into specifically. I always knew there were rules covering how you introduced evidence...

There are some different philosophies when it comes to world building. I don't build worlds for the sake of building worlds, I build them for the expressed purpose of adventures. Which means there are big, big gaps in my world because I don't bothering asking or answering questions unless it...

As part of their benefits package, many employers in the United States offer what's called an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Most people think of the EAP as a place they might find short term mental health care in the form of counseling, but they are often able to refer you to legal...

If you choose to have that happen in your campaign, it's because he's been replaced by a pod person. i.e. That's not really Reeg.

The Horror at Headstone Hill is an investigative campaign for Deadlands using the Savage Worlds rules. For those unfamiliar with Deadlands, the game is set in the Old West of the United States but with a twist including magic, steampunk, and horror. Dubbed “The Weird West,” this is a game where...

Finally a chance to wear my white spats and Arab collars.

I have a coworker who is also a big Star Wars fan and he was flabbergasted when I told him I thought the sequels were hot garbage. He's just north of 40 and I'm just south of 50. The special effects were fine, the actors did a great job with what they were given, but the story was just so bad...

Reading Snarf's posts made me the man I am today.

The reason people hate the second film so much isn't because it's a bad movie, though it most certainly is, but because it's plot is predicated on destroying everything they established in the first movie. In the first movie they establish a new and interesting mythology only to tell the...

Hell. In most S&S settings magic tends to exact a toll on its users and having to enter into a pact with a demon or some other creature is quite a toll.

I once got into some hot water with a friend for referring to the Dresden Files series as "light" reading. It was a series I enjoyed reading at the time and honesty didn't think referring to it as light reading was insulting or dismissive. I've restricted species in exactly one campaign in the...

I remember those rules creeping around various BBSes before the days of AOL. Someone spent a lot of time coming up with those rules.

Did the Warforged make it into the PHB without me noticing? I've run a few 5E campaigns, and I've never had anyone try to play a Warforged.

There was an episode of Sandman on Netflix that addresses this. In the 14th of 15th century, Dream makes a bet with Death that if given immortality a mortal will just get tired of living. Death says, "It's on like Donkey Kong," (citation needed) and she gives some random Englishman in a pub...

So on the tragedy of living forever: In the novel Peter Pan, at the end of the novel our fun loving flyboy returns to the real world only to find that Wendy is a grown woman with children of her own. He doesn't quite understand what he's seeing and Peter is a little scared of her. We come to...

It's been almost thirty years since I last saw an episode. While I cannot vouch for the overall quality of the series, the fact that it was actually watchable puts it heads and shoulders above any of the original movie's sequels. It would have improved the sequels that's for sure.

For my Greyhawk, Tieflings aren't going to be a large group. They're an extremely uncommon sight, most people having never seen one, and because of their demonic appearance they often face some prejudice until people get to know them. And even they some people just don't want to get to know them.

I'm only going to go by the first movie because all the movies that followed it were crap. Every. Single. One. In the first movie, in addition to becoming mortal, being able to sire children, and not having to worry about cutting your head cut off, winning the Prize allows MacCleod to read...

I imagine they'll adapt it, what little of "it" there is, to modern sensibilities. It might make some people upset, but who cares? No matter what they do people are going to be upset.
