I've been wondering about something for a good while now but never got around to post it. But what do you think about when a fantasy setting, published or not, actively states that one of the elements of the setting is like something found on Earth? For example, what if a setting said, "the...

Lately I haven't been able to even get to the True20.com site or their boards. It does this periodically for me, but not for a few days straight. Has anyone else been able to successfully visit the site/forums?

I've been reading through the Wheel of Time magic section and I really like it. From reading through it I get the feeling that it could be a good magic system for a setting that isn't quite "low-magic". I've often tried to think over how various spells would translate into this system. I know...

I am having trouble with Firefox and some Cascading Style Sheet troubles. I'm currently redesigning the layout of my site and am using CSS. I always work with IE as the browser while I write the html code. Now I am done with everything, but Firefox won't use the style.css file for any text...

I've been looking into Wacom tablets/art tablets so I could try my hand at CG coloring and general artsy stuff. I was thinking of Wacom's Graphire 4x5 tablet, but as I've never seen one I don't know how they are. Does anyone here have one? What were your experiences with it? Does it make...

I just finished the Dragonlance War of Souls trilogy and am looking for another book to read. Now I don't have a good selection of books that I haven't read and i want to expand my collection beyond Dragonalnce and a few select scifi novels. Now I feel kinda burnt out of both fantasy and sci-fi...

I've gotten a bit bored with NWN lately and I have been looking at both Battlefield 2 and Guild Wars for a new venture. Now I know how BF2 is (nice demo), but I don't know much of Guild Wars. To those who have it, how fun is it? What is the good and bad about it? How are the required computer...

I just got the Pocket Edition of the Conan RPG. I know that the initial book led to the Atlantean edition, and this makes me wonder if there are also two verisons of the Pocket editions out there. I tried searching for it but no luck. So was there a Pre-Atlantean Pocket editon? Or are all Pocket...

Tonight I was on the computer and all of a sudden my computer went haywire for a sec then went on standby mode. I flipped it back on and a little bit later it did it again. Then I restarted it and it did it again after a few minutes. I checked the running processes and online for anything that...

I am currently running XP Home and when I installed the thing I put my name in the "Who is this computer registered to?" line or whatnot. Now I was, am, and always will be a bit paranoid about online security and been wanting to switch the name to something else. So how can I do this? Is there a...

I am gonna be getting a DVD writer/burner/recorder/whatever soon but before I do I want a bit of advice from those who have them. I tried looking into it myself and I see that there are many different formats out there and am a bit puzzled over it. I plan on using the thing for storage mostly...

One thing that has always bothered me is how D&D (and most other fantasy games) split animated corpses as either skeletons or zombies. It bothers me because they are generally the same thing, but one just happens to only bones. So it begs the question; can a zombie become a skeleton over time...

Like most others I have tried whip up a homebrew setting. One of the things that I like but causes me no end of frustration are the deities. Because of this I have spent many times redoing the deities over and over. Then in a issue of Dragon I saw an article on deity achetypes along with...

Seeing how the server uses the Path of Ascension module, I wanted to take a look at what I am missing (no HotU here) but I cannot find any hint of it anywhere. Now maybe I am missing something pretty obvious or whatever, but could someone point me in the right direction to download the thing so...

Instead of just keep posting the new version lower and lower in the thread, I will just slap the new version up here. For those who haven't check the link out yet, it is still here. Here is the new version. How is this now? I also wrote up the BORS sight and on handling the recoil of the...

I don't know if this has been posted already or not, but since I don't have the search function... Just thought it might lighten someone's mood perhaps. Another parody of that "badger badger badger" flash animation. This time about a banana phones! I find it quite funny and I love the parts...

Out of boredom I wrote up the Island of Avalon as portrayed on Disney's Gargoyles but with a slight D&D twist, an outer plane with a sentient island, it being the source of all magic and Fey-kind, and can only be reached through the Astral and Ethereal planes on a magical skiff. As I was writing...

Lets get right to the point... Why are there are no healing spells for the necromancy school? I mean it says necromancy has power over life-force so why not? Is it because that it also has power over death and the undead? I can see why it is a Conjuration spell, but then it begs the question...

I recently reinstalled Neverwinter Nights again and having a lot for fun with it online. I'm currently on a persistent world/server called Richards Retreat for the Land of Nordock module. Real fun, especially with a whole party. Who else is currently playing NWN online these days? And what...

How do you guys (and gals) deal juggling too many large projects at once (if you do)? Do you spend a bit of time on each or just concentrate on one until finished and move on to the next? Or some other way? This question has been on my mind for awhile and wanted to see how others handle such a...
