I had a call at 1:16 am a few mornings ago explaining that my brother lost a leg in a hit-and-run accident, but I can probably have my character up sometime within the next day or so. Other time-consuming things are also going away, so I have more time where I should be able to finish the...

I don't know the original Mechwarrior soundtrack, but I used to listen to Mechwarrior 2 all the time. And yeah, the PS:T soundtrack is pretty sweet...I ripped it from the game several years ago. I had a program that converted the game's sound files to wav format, I believe. Some of the tracks...

Well, I knew I couldn't pass in a spelling bee with judgement, so I did a minute or two of research on a guess of mine, and confirmed my hypothesis. Judgment is correct in the United States, and Judgement is correct in England. Being from the US, that was always an unnerving thing to notice...

http://rinkworks.com/words/misspelled.shtml Search for "frequently misspelled words", or something similar, and you'll "judgment" on almost every page. Need to outfit my character with items, and I'd like to format it a bit better...could be up later tonight if I finally don't have things I...

I'm finally back here with my jump drive, I can probably wrap-up my character sometime, but I won't be here this evening, and parts of the night...don't delay the start for my inclusion, if characters can walk in later, I'll do that. And semi-pedantically, judgment is spelled with only one e...

I've always thought it was a 3.5 Samurai from Complete Warrior. Two curved swords, one longer than the other, sounds like daisho-style to me - I think it's a katana and a wakisashi, that the samurai uses in CW. Besides, she mentions lawfully doing things a few times in #200. Smite evil isn't...

How do your Monster Manual-less campaigns go? :confused:

Yeah it does. Things that are logically impossible are, by definition, impossible. Logic and perception are not one and the same. I don't think we should go by perception at all - it can be deceptive. Logic, however, is not. And about that universe thing, I still say finite but boundless. An...

The scout can tell the party, "Don't walk there." Now, if you've brought the scout to help you through an urban or dungeon area where you can't just walk around a trap, you have problems for which you probably should get a rogue. I really do like the scout as a nature-oriented rogue. Sure...

Sure, if there's one gene for "species". I don't agree. Half-elves have societies. Half-elves have half-elven children. I don't think we should use sophistry and science to remove half-elves as a race, despite how I don't really prefer them over any other race in D&D. Then substitue racial...

How about things that just don't make sense? Like things that violate the law of inpenetrability - that is, two objects can't occupy the same space and time.

How about a finite but boundless universe? Like the finite but boundless surface of a sphere. The universe is a big hypersphere, and our perception is of the three-dimensioned hypersurface. Just talking about that the other day. I once had a poll of people, both religious and atheistic...

I haven't heard or seen it yet, I've been away from computers for about a week. Of those who have, what did it sound like? More Gilmourish, or Watersy? Pulse and In the Flesh have pretty dramatically different versions of all four songs, particularly Comfortably Numb. Last time I saw...

It's unfortunate that this is coming up again. I again call your attention to the fact that this means two half-elves only have half-elf children 50% of the time, and the other 50% is evenly split between full-blooded humans and full-blooded elves. If a man is half English and half German, and...

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried an alignment system similar to Neverwinte Nights? Characters have a starting alignment, which gives them a specific alignment score. I think neutrals are 50, and the extremes are 15 and 85. Now, actions that require a moral or ethical choice affect the...
