Well, if that's the case, a firewall or router really isn't going to protect that data. You have to be more concerned about the encryption that sites such as Amazon and Newegg offer. Firewalls and routers do not encrpt data. Think of them like traffic cops. they just say what data can pass...

Rl'Halsinor, I just noticed your question about outbound traffic. In what way are you concerned about this? I mean are you asking if your personal information you send out through the firewall/router is safe or what?

Well, the way the router works to protect you is that it uses NAT (Network Address Translation). In other words, the interface of your router that touches the Internet (the interface plugged into the cable/DSL/etc) presents a public IP address to the rest of the Internet. The other computers...

Software firewalls by nature tend to be system hogs. They have quite a job to do analyzing traffic coming and going from the system. I'm not quite sure how you have your home network/internet connection set up and what kind of funding you have but a router is probably the most reasonable...

Charisma should not be linked to beauty. I remember back in the day when there was the comliness stat. Now as I recall there was a lot of people who didn't like this idea but I think it did serve to illustrate the intent that chraisma and physical attractiveness are not the same thing.

For whatever reason, the idea of an adventuring bard just doesn't really work out for me. When I was younger I loved the concept. My favorite series of books at the time was the Spell Singer by Alan Dean Foster. Yeah, I used to really like the concept. But now, not so much. I am not quite...

Heh, I hope to read through it one day. With all of the other books in my stack, work, a precocious 3 year old son and a baby daughter expected to arrive any time now, I'm sure it'll be a while until I can find the time to manage to read much more than the introduction. Perhaps, I'll get...

Here's another OSRIC one. A Frost Giant:

Looks pretty awesome. I'm in. :D

Hrm. Maybe that is why I haven't gotten any feedback. Anyone else not seeing the images?

Here's my latest one for the OSRIC project. Some bone devils vs. a paladin and a mage type. Comments appreciated!

Cool beans Phil. Now get to work! I can't wait to see this :D .

It's been a little while but here's another glimpse at some art that I worked on for the OSRIC Companion. A Babau demon: It looks like Papers & Paychecks (Stuart Marshall) is putting the finishing touches on OSRIC Release 1.01 and it should have a fair amount of my art in it. Also check out...

Hehe, I am really excited to see this ;) ! The cover looks really cool btw. I'll have to get some work done for James' campaign world project now. And perhaps finish writing and doing the art for my own OSRIC project that has been on the back burner for a while now. Oh yeah, and finish the...

Count me in the bovine camp. It gives them a much more feral feel I think.

I'm very interested in this. I buy the DDMs because I want painted minis to use while I roleplay and simply don't have the time or inclination to paint the metal ones. The thing about the DDMs that I don't like is that even on ebay, some things that I'd like to have rather larger numbers of...

I'm a gamer by inclination and Reader/Collector by circumstance. At the present time I don't have a group (which is a situation that I hope to remedy in the not too distant future). However, even if I could never get a gaming group back together, I'd still buy the books. They do a lot to fuel...

SWEET! Marvel FASERIP is one of my all time favorites. I think I still have binders full of characters that I created back in junior high. I'd love to see new material coming out for this system.

Wow, I don't know what to say. If there was one company in the D20 arena that was on solid ground it was Necro. Those guys put out some of the best stuff for D20 and I'll be sad to see them go. Looks like I'll have to go to their site and make some direct purchases for the stuff I wanted but...

The World of Khass from Emperor's Choice is nothing but fluff. It is a rather huge books that details the minutia of the game world with amazing depth. I haven't read it all but it is definitely worth a look if you want to see an extremely detailed setting that is system free (no game rules).
