I'm with you, Fusangite. To expand on that, the map I've been working on is my attempt to make something notably different from but reminiscent of earth's 'old world' for the 'prime material' plane of the setting I'm working on, while the spirit/dream world is unmapped, infinite, and follows no...

Mon Cal, or victim of the Innsmouth Curse? You decide.

6'5"; large and in charge.

A big area in and around Pike Place Market in seattle is paved with bricks. Also, anyone who walks around the city as much as I do may well notice that, under the asphalt, revealed in potholes, a large percentage of the city's more modern streets are only about two inches of asphalt over brick...

On earth, it's 4000 miles, give or take, from the equator to the arctic circle. Depending on the region, it gets pretty damned cold for several months each winter if you only go about 3000 miles north from the equator. My maps (at least the ones that involve whole continents) are generally...

Here's a bigger version of my Avatar; the picture was taken last feb. I'll be the first to admit that I look like a Linux admin, but, I assure everyone, I'm not.

Not that it matters, but they had at least vaguely accurate maps a long time before they had satellites or planes or blimps for that matter.

Yes, kinda. Not pen-and-paper games, but my dad got me started on computer games--not video games; X-wing, Tie Fighter, and so on, not Mario--when I was but a wee lad in the 90s. He also read The Hobbit and LOTR to me, which contributed to my eventual move to pen-and-paper stuff. That said, I...

Somehow, I misread the title as 'Mind Frog' and instantly thought of Hypno-toad.

I'll be there, with three of the four in my usual gaming group. We're flying in on thursday afternoon, and leaving monday morning.

Bugs me just a tiny, tiny bit. Upon logical examination, there isn't any good reason for it to, other than, perhaps, the strange feeling that the resurrector, some upstart interloper, has just rudely broken an ancient silence with a raucous cry of "hey, I like X too!", which, while a compelling...

I think you may want to rephrase that.

I'm of the opinion that if you want to use D20 modern, you should just go ahead and use Grim Tales, which is, for all intents and purposes, D20 modern with the obligatory modern stuff taken out, plus all kinds of stuff available for other sorts of campaigns. I ran three short low-magic fantasy...

Neutral Good. First, my explanation for the neutral. I have a generalized distrust of organizations, governmental, economic, religious, and 'other' On the flip-side, I like systems. Math, science, the way computers work, categorization. Now, as for good...I'm big on small, day-to-day...

Before the 1300s, it was pretty much one-handed swords used in conjunction with shields. There were shorter, quicker ones for use on foot, and longer, heavier ones for use from horseback. Most swords were of the slashing/cleaving/hewing disposition, because a strong swing could still hurt the...

Apparently, I'm the only one who rolls[/pun] in metal. Half-pound brushed-steel-finish D20 for the win!

So, my character, one of three Jedi Knights sent on a mission to find a missing Padawan, fought his way into an enemy installation. We made it to the hangar on the far side of the base, where we met the BBEG for the first time. He's in the doorway of his ship, with a bomb. He throws the bomb...

30 seconds or less, because we play True20. The question is usually 'Do I charge, or do I attack with a ranged weapon?' or 'Do I set him on fire, or do I mentally dominate him?' and the answer usually involves making one or two D20 rolls on the player's part, and one on my part as GM. Generally...
