Colonel Sponsz is a fictional character from The Adventures of Tintin series of classic comic books written and drawn by Hergé. He is a veteran spymaster and an enemy of the main protagonists.
The monocle-wearing Sponsz is a native of the nation of Borduria, where he became the Chief of Police of the capital Szohôd, and the head of the Secret Police or ZEP, which operates on behalf of the country's dictator Marshal Kurvi-Tasch. He is a calculating and ruthless figure, and bears strong grudges against those who upset his political machinations.

Giving Players the Game They Want Insight rank isn't an automatic leveller. A rank 4 courtier wouldn't stand much of a chance in a fight with a rank 4 bushi and, versa vice, a rank 4 bushi isn't going to be the equal of a rank 4 courtier in a social situation. |

What alternatives to hit points are there for abstracting wounds? Every game I've played does damage better than D&D's hit points system. Even those that still use HP have some form of status effect as you take more damage. So far, D&D is the only system I've played where you are as effective on the brink of incapacitation as you are at full health. |

What is important when choosing an RPG? Further to that, the rules and the background need to be clearly separated. When I'm looking for a particular rule in a hurry I don't want to have to sift through large chunks of background text to find the rules buried in them. |

How can I get a good background on the Warhammer 40K universe? The original Rogue Trader has much more background than any of the more modern editions. There's sections on the history of the universe, a large weapons guide, a beastuary and more. 40K as presented in that book was much more of a skirmish wargame/ roleplay hybrid and makes frequent reference to a Games Master running sessions. |

Which systems can emulate battles against zombie hordes? We used the multi-dice approach too. The GM added in a mechanic that if we could score enough hits in a given number of rounds we would get an extra round of free attacks to represent pushing back the hoard faster than it was advancing. It added a nice bit of tension as we got towards the end of each section as we were counting down the hits required to get our free attacks. |

When GMing a game, how much should you prepare in advance? When we were planning or talking things through in detail one of our GMs would sit and listen whilst holding up a sign saying "You're giving the GM ideas." and see how long it took us to notice. It quickly became a running joke that others, including myself, now use too. |
