    It's Dark Sun

    Woot, nice news. I haven't read the thread, but the cover looks nice and going back to OBS is for the good. So I hope for the best.

    What can MMORPGs teach us about world building?

    Speaking of small...wasn't there a quote about how Ultima Online was like 4 times the size of North America in the game? I know there was a bit about the time, but I swear there was something about how big it was in virtual size... Oh well, I have no idea how big WOW is, though there were some...

    How do you organize large quantities of minis

    Well, I don't do it much myself, but I have a friend who uses metal boxes to tote his minis around. Why metal you ask? Because he's gotten little magnets which he glues to the bottoms of them. This makes for easier and safer transportation.

    Yay! Just Bought Planescape Boxed Set for $27.00

    Congrats! It's always good to get a desired item! I'd post an image of my shelf but it's all boxed up while I await my move. Is it odd that I read the title of that one book as "Geek Mythology" and wondered if its contents included a section on female gamers? :P

    Pathfinder 1E Artwork for Pathfinder and others

    I've been looking for some Boris Vallejo myself. I'll refrain from posting any pix because I'm sure you can find plenty on your own.

    Sexism in D&D and on ENWorld (now with SOLUTIONS!)

    I believe this says it best: I can only admire Mr Halmi's imagination, but I wish he'd left mine alone.

    Realm transitions

    Well, I'd ask your players if they're comfortable just moving things to the Realms, if you'd like to do that. No reason the players would have to make new characters, though they might well wish to do that. Or you can do the classic magic portal option. Which has a number of variants from...

    Att: WotC - Replacing PDF's

    I suspect we won't see anything until after the court case resolves. Wizards probably wants to see what comes from that endeavor before acting.

    What's in a name? Cyphers in fantasy

    I think the examples you gave are quite evocative and resonant. If anything, I'd say the current edition is going out of its way to be more flavorful than the blandness that was in some of the older editions. Not that 1st, 2nd and 3rd didn't have any, mind you, but I'd say that 4th edition has...

    ah, dupe, dupity, dupe dupe.

    Local Library has 2 D&D books

    Less horizontal, but more vertical space. And moving books is a lot easier than moving shelves. I suppose you can do the tilt them on their side option, but that's not very classy.

    Amazing Engine?

    Yes, it was released, and it had some decent ideas and interesting settings, but it was a tad...sparse, I guess, so you had to fill in a good bit yourself.

    Scripting NPC actions, is this gone? Do you do it? Share how

    name job health do you need more scripting?

    Try sending an e-mail to webmaster@devilsdue.net. I send them a note using their contact form, and reporting your post, but I really don't have your logs so I don't know what you saw.

    How do you explain overnight Healing in your game?

    I wouldn't put it as "according to the rules, you can't break a bone in D&D" but rather, as "the rules don't account for details of injuries such as breaking bones" which puts a different spin on things. I do recall Tabula Rasa the MMORPG did cover it, at least with leg injuries. Of course...
