2010 did come out first as a novel. I realize they probably couldn't and wouldn't use anything from it, but I'll just pointlessly mention that there was also a monthly 2001 comic series from Marvel, written and penciled by Jack Kirby. It was like some insane cable anthology series, with the...

My condolences. :(

My condolences.

#278 had the dwarven battle cry generator (and the language primer). #294 had a general article on catch phrases, with a few specifically dwarven examples.

Congratulations! (To Shadeus as well.)

My condolences. :(

I've been trying to come up with a witty and amusing way of pointing out that you already came out with a Vol 5, Issue 4 that doesn't come across as extraordinarily petty; but nothing's coming to me. Maybe if we were still doing the pirate thing I could. It's probably been pointed out on your...

If you go to the art galleries for the various books at the WotC site, they promote using the illustrations from Monsters of Faerun and the Dragonlance Campaign Setting as "visual aids", though the MM only has the more debatable phrase "enjoyable resource". However, they pretty clearly intend...

Ronin Arts will be coming out with a PDF product, 101 Legendary Treasures of Medieval Europe. (Unlike the other 101 books, it won't be written by Phillip J. Reed.) Here's the direct link to the PDF preview: http://www.philipjreed.com/images/101legendarypreview.pdf The preview has stats for the...

Congratulations! :)

Actually, it was a whole series of stories and articles by Richard Shaver published in various magazines edited or published by Ray Palmer, starting in the late 40's. I don't know whether Dexter's Lab may have gotten the name Mandark from these as well. The stories were fictionalized accounts...

If so, then the term has mutated, and the genre become defined by authors who came later. I finally managed to remember where I saw what is, as far as I can tell, the first citation of the term, from a letter in Locus #315, April 1987 (The Word Spy steampunk page has a different earliest...

You left out The Anubis Gates as a "somewhat widely known" work that would qualify. It was specifically one of the novels the term was coined to describe (by K.W. Jeter, the other novels were his own Morlock Night and James Blaylock's Homunculus), though it really doesn't fit the current popular...

The demihuman pantheons come from a series of articles written by Roger E. Moore in Dragon #58-63 and reprinted in the 1e Unearthed Arcana. These weren't Greyhawk articles; when they mention other deities the races might worship, the examples are from real-world pantheons like the Greek and...

And a bohemian ear-spoon that had nothing to do with personal hygiene.

If you don't mind using third party stuff, you might want to check out Character Customization from Throwing Dice Games . The author did keep balance well in mind, and I quite like it and plan to use some stuff; though I haven't read it cover to cover. It'll be updated to 3.5, with a free...

The issue with the DM's screen got to me on the 14th, I believe, a little later than usual. Subscribers mostly get theirs first.

I think my subscription copy usually gets here between 8th and the 12th of any given month, perhaps sometimes a little earlier. Between 12:00 and 1:00 PM CDT. I'm sure there'll be a rush to post the first details.

Thanks. I had looked at it before, and thought that a lot of the medieval Christian feeling of the class could be excised simply by changing the flavor text. Still, it would only work well for certain religions or settings. The quick and dirty (and possibly boring) approach I came up with for...

Thanks. I already had a copy, and thought it would work really well for the keepers of small local shrines, which I was particularly looking for. So thanks again.
