Given the right supplies, I gotta go with advanced tech this hour. I love the idea of being the gnome with the big friggin gun firing at the mage just over the horizon who don't suspect nothing. And airships and mechs are a great side-benefit... Of course, this kind of decision changes on an...

I have at last gotten my site up and in running condition. I created www.archmagus.us so I could post all my prestige classes, rules, short stories, and various rants online. I also wanted to start my own little online community - maybe not on par with EN World, but certainly worth some time...
