I'm somewhat confused as to where the term "dogs" comes from when referring to Kobolds... are they not reptilian? "Greenskins" tends to be a favoured term for orcs, though it's fairly neutral when it comes to being offensive.

Contract work is superior in this way, I don't have to worry about "work days." I only have to worry about getting the project finished. :D I still work for a respectable majority of the time, however. (In support of this statement, I also state that I still buy music CDs.) - Rep.

All Human Campaign I'm currently running an all-human campaign set in the Kingdom of Karrnath in Eberron. Not only are they all human, which I suppose is a minor achievement, but they had been one of three classes at the start. They're starting to branch out, but there's not been much in the...

My screen name used to be "Nuclear Reprisal" because I thought it was a clever oxymoron, and I stole it from an obscure Canadian rock lyric. When I played multiplayer games online, people would either call me "nuke" or "NR" and I disliked both. As a result, I shortened the named down to...

That was the finalé?! I stopped watching it halfway through! - Rep.

But as has been stated already, Aztechnology takes the cake -- especially if you've read Nigel Findley's excellent sourcebook on Aztlan. - Rep.

Not quite crabs, but I statted up some Homarids for an invasion from the seas -- it was quite amusing. I went with high AC and low hit points for all but this monstrosity. If I can find the statblock, and if anyone's interested, I'll post it up, - Rep.

Thanks for the link, I've always been interested in this odd dichotomy in the book world. It's good to see that there might be a chance of some reconciliation between so-called popular and so-called literary fiction. - Rep.

Realistically? Probably, heh. Still, the races' rules information seems to be a mish-mash of both biological and cultural traits. It would be nice if there was some semi-official, and well thought out, way of separating the two. That way, you could have a City Elf and a Forest Elf, but the only...

I think someone in your group liked Platoon a little too much, or at least saw it before the term was adopted.

I remember there being an idea that humans tend to remember things in groups with a maximum hovering around 7 +/- 2. So, generally speaking, I'd say that you couldn't go wrong limiting yourself to that range. You said you have twenty-two races, though; so, I'm not exactly sure if you mean that...

Wow, really? Everything that movie set out to do, it did. I figure that was a fairly cheap movie to make, but I'm not sure that it was necessarily successful (too far back for me to find out). I liked it, but it seems that I'm one of the only people to ever see it in my circle.

I voted "Other" because the only fantasy novel I had read before I started playing RPGs was The Hobbit. Even then, it didn't have too much of an effect one me. Like others on this thread, I was affected more by video games like Faxanadu, Paladin's Quest, the Final Fantasy series, and Chrono...

I think I saw that one, wasn't Tesla the one who unleashed them on Metropolis? Something funny about one of the great scientists of our time fighting Superman because Edison didn't like him. - Rep.
