I average 0.02 posts per day it tells me. That means it takes me 50 days to compose a complete message. I must have psychic powers! I can predict future posts nearly two months in advance! Now, if I could just speed up how fast I write, these abilities might come in really useful. ;)

I got rid of alignment from my games some time ago, and I've found that the changes that need to be made are not all that pervasive. There are a bunch of spells that are affected by alignment, but most of them only need very small changes to make them work. The spells most affected are the...

Yes, they did, and the Daleks will be showing up in the sixth episode. Hooray!

I'm not entirely certain how you can blame the actor for killing the show, unless you feel that he just gave a terrible performance. But if it's the stories you're objecting to, Sylvester McCoy didn't write them. He just starred in them. However, regardless of one's opinion of Sylvester McCoy...

I haven't heard anything about my submission yet. It's only been two months so far, though. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't hear anything for another month or two.

I'd like to thank Navior for lurking around here for many years, but keeping his post count low and saving the good folks of EN World from reading his tiresome thoughts. I'd also like to thank him for ending this post now.

I once saw a store sign advertise, "Two for the price of three." I can't remember exactly what they were selling, but I have never forgotten that sign.

It was Tuesday, which was probably before you sent yours, now that I think about it. If so, that could explain why you had problems and I didn't. Don't give up yet, though! Yours might still get there in time. Sometimes the mail actually gets there faster than they say it will.

I'm in Canada, and I had no problem sending mine express. At least the guy at the post office said it was okay, charged me $20, had me sign a form, and stuck a big express sticker on the package. So, it better be going express! :)

Honestly, all I can say about your 16/30 results is that they are a statistical anomaly. They do happen sometimes, especially with such small samples as only 30 tries. And 30 really is a small sample. I've seen this problem demonstrated more times than I can count. I've watched students try it...

Jericho, your mistake is assuming that the first choice is irrelevent to the second. It's only irrelevent if you make your second choice randomly, but there's no need to make a random guess the second time round. There is a strategy that can be applied. (Just a note, I teach math, and I've used...

You're welcome! :)

I was wondering exactly the same thing. It's not supposed to be out yet. And I'm another Torontonian, too. :(

As an addendum to my last post, I thought I should address arguments that the probability would be 50%. Once the first choice is made (1/3 of being correct), it's set in stone whether you chose right or wrong. If you made your next choice totally randomly, you would have a 1/2 chance of winning...

Actually, the probability does change because you're given a second choice, and that choice is dependent on the first choice, making it a case of dependent probability. Here's how it works. Let's number the doors 1, 2, and 3. Assume that 1 has the car (although you don't know that when...

I'm from London, Ontario, originally, lived in Montreal for several years, and now I live in Toronto. As for a favourite moment in Canadian history, that's a tough one to choose. Hmmmm.... The Stockwell Day name-change petition is certainly a good laugh! I think, however, that I'd have to go...

Dogs for me, all the way! I like all types of animals, but dogs are definitely my favourite. I can't imagine my life without a dog in it. I have a rather lazy greyhound, and he's simply my pride and joy!

One word pretty much sums it up for me: WOW! If I had to be really nit-picky, there are a couple of moments where the cheese-factor is laid on just a little thick. Nevertheless, I still gave it a 10. Absolutely incredible movie.

I pretty much do exactly the same thing. When I said that it could be a lot of work, I didn't mean to imply that it was difficult work, just that depending on how much you need to use, there was potentially a lot to do. If the PCs travel a lot, you might need to convert things quite frequently...

I also use the Hollow World setting, along with Mystara. Yes, it is officially part of Mystara/Known World. It's where the Immortals place the remnants of dying civilizations as a way of preserving them. There is a powerful Spell of Preservation in effect in the Hollow World, that ensures that...
