The *Real Reason* the hradani havn't developed technologically: That racial level adjustment just *Kills* class progression.

The *Real Reason* Bahzell is so deadly: His player is a twink.

The *Real Reason* Alicia DeVries(sp?) got an alien symbiont energy being, an alien symbiont starship and 'Deadly With Anything' as an ability: Biggest backstory in the entire campaign.

The *Real Reason* Dahak is the most deadly starship in existance: GM PC.

The *Real Reason* Nimitz is so interesting: *Nimitz* is actually the PC. Honor is an 'Ally' Advantage.

mouse. small, innocuous, cartoony. highly dangerous.

To add another one, the *Real Reason* the borg are so deadly: b0rg 133+ h@x0r3r ch3@+ c0d3$.

Should I know to what you are referring?

Re: OT: The *Real Reason* (Humor)

Well...Depends on your familarity with David Webers books.

Re: OT: The *Real Reason* (Humor)

Who the hell is David Weber?

Re: OT: The *Real Reason* (Humor)

Warring the above humor post is actual an alien meme attack designed to render all humans blithering idiots. As they stare mindlessly at the message the alien attack force will move in.

Due to this warring everyone gets another "Will" save at +2 on there next turn!

[1d20+11] = [14+11] = 25

Hmmmm, now what's the DC..

An author, and a good one in my opinion. Should read his "Dahak" series, and what was the other one...right the "Starfire" series, real good books.

On which note
Baen Free Library
They publish his work and have a few of them for free download, the theory being you read the early works and then buy the rest.

For Weber, well I read the two Honor Harrington ones there on a recommendation. They are well written and hard to put down. BUT Stevie Wonder could see the plot twists and Ray Charles could predict what's going to happen. It's not subtle and there are no real surprises. Weber likes foreshadowing. A lot, almost to the point of ruining the books.

Plus Honor is never wrong. As in never. Whatever she's suspects or fears will happen.

Still I'd recommend looking at them, some people love them, some don't, but they are well written.

Re: OT: The *Real Reason* (Humor)

Could you edit that humor into SE4, so I might have a clue what you are talking about.

Re: OT: The *Real Reason* (Humor)

You want plot twists? Ryk Spoors' 'Digital Knight', also in the Baen Free Library.

(By the end, I had *No* idea what was coming next. Oh, and don't read the reviews. All the ones I've seen pretty much ruin it with spoilers.)
