Perhaps, but I'd wager a good number of non-DLs are born the same way. Maybe the powers give certain children various talents at birth, ones that could allow them to become either great heroes or villains, then stand back and watch what happens. A select few rise to the top (or fall to the deepest o...

I'd think it more likely it'd be a pile of semi-sterile ashes...but since it's your game, it's your call.

I just fail to see what it brings to the setting to give a piddly goddess from one campaign world the ability to muddle with the Dark Powers toys. Admittedly it is something of a stretch, but for some reason this gives me an idea for a plan by the Dark Powers to capture, contain, and hamstring a fu...

Wow...been waiting on this for quite some time. I'll have to try and keep myself from setting unrealistic expectations of it's quality, but still, it should be quite the read.

Another variation might be doing a variant on that move Saw, with a haunted house filled with deadly traps. The PCs must find their way out alive. The lord is the owner of the mansion. A good weakness for the hunter darklord might be that he is not able to close the borders of his realm like many o...

Funny thing about Boll is, that when you listen to the commentary tracks on the DVDs, he seems absolutely convinced that he's creating high art, and that if people don't like the films, it must be the actors' fault.

You know, it's stuff like this that almost tempts me to rethink my total disdain for eBay and it's ilk. Anyway, nice find!

Interestingly, an update of "Chill" is supposedly on the way sometime this year. They say they'll keep the old system, but d20 conversion notes will be included.

Hmm...I know I spotted at least one Harry Potter refs, and at least two Jurassic Park ones as well. And yes I caught "Brighteyes", mainly because I quite liked the Watership Down cartoon. Really, it's one of those films I'll either buy or rent when it goes to DVD, then go over with a fine ...

Anyone else remember a while back, when someone made a thread, asking what the effects would be of casting Animate Dead on a cooked animal, and some of the ideas got pretty damn nasty? Yeah, no real reason I'm bringing this up. Just wondering if I can get the image stuck in your head, ready to pounc...

'Invasion' (... of the Body Snatchers?) Supposedly it's a "tribute", as opposed to an outright ripoff, but yes, the show's makers have agknowledged the connection. Anyway, I saw the first episode of "Supernatural", and quite liked it, and saw a few of "Threshold", and ...

I just had a thought; perhaps she feels no ill effects because she isn't the one who has to pay the price for the watches use. Could the powers work by stealing the energy it needs from those around the user. Kind of puts a new spin on the name, though I suppose "Stolen Time" might be more...
