    [OT] Share your favorite drink recipes

    Go to the "In My Bar" section of The Webtender and list your ingredients. Hopefully you'll come up with a list of stuff you can mix. Don't expect it to spit out anything good though. ;) I like ice cold Midori Sours. They're nuclear green and you simply can't beat 'em. For anyone looking for...

    Don't look at me, I was just answering a hypothetical. I think you can agree that no matter how small a niche market D&D is now, it would be even smaller if it was only sold in hobby shops and gaming stores. No Wal Mart, no Amazon, no Borders, not even a Walden's? Yeah, that's small in my...

    D&D: Satanic, or Something Positive?

    I fear ignorance because I don't understand it. And it happens quite frequently. See folks, you sort of have to follow the tenets of a religion before you can claim to belong to it...

    What are you doing with D20 Modern?

    League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Cowboy Bebop both sound like cool ideas. I'm busy playing in a campaign at the moment, but I have some ideas for running one. I don't usually like published adventures, but I have downloaded all of the D20M adventures that WoTC puts on their site. I...

    D&D: Satanic, or Something Positive?

    No, and neither does killing orc babies. Or does it?!! Hehe. Whatever the market will bear, I suppose. Edit: Mmm. Spelling izz gud.

    It's a boy!

    3510 grams = 7.7 pounds 50cm = 19.7 inches Am I right? Math is NOT my strong suit. In fact, for me it's not even a suit; It's more like a loincloth, or an eyepatch. What is it with all of these roleplaying geeks having children? Don't you realize that one day we'll have to share our XP and...

    Ah, but would the makers of D20 products continue to produce D20 stuff for such a small niche market? More likely they would start making D6 stuff and drop D20. So what niche would the FLGS be serving then? In this hypothetical situation where the mass-market distributers quit selling D20, the...

    D&D: Satanic, or Something Positive?

    Saturday's installment of the awesome comic Something Positive is accompanied by some email correspondence between the artist and an Australian minister. The minister had a website with articles about how D&D is satanic. He listed many cases of children commiting murders or suicide because of...

    Urban Arcana Art Gallery

    I'm with you about the Harley, Oni. I simply don't like the stuff by Hampton. Aside from just not being my cup of tea, they don't fit the overall mood of the other illos. You can't jump from those gritty, dark pictures to those virtually unshaded cartoons. I like the sparse, "graphic" style of...

    Urban Arcana Easter eggs(s)

    No one's mentioned the first easter egg in the book. Maybe it's just me, but the skull on the drow's shirt looks very similar to Wizard's own black mana icon.

    Semantics. It's not like I was trying to say that Wal Mart does the editing themselves. I'll let the recording industry share the blame with Wal Mart, they're greedy AND corrupt. :D Nope, I want money too. But then I AM greedy. Wal Mart, however, is able to commit acts of greed on a larger...

    You hit the nail on the head. Most game companies had puny manuals before. Whether it was because they were cheap, lazy, or both I do not know. For these reasons a lot of companies have switched to including the (sparse) instructions on the CD. Of course, they could have just been sick of...

    This is a very poor example for a number of reasons. Words like "boycott" and phrases like, "won't carry", don't apply here. If Wal Mart boycotted music with explicit lyrics then they wouldn't be carrying it. But they ARE carrying it. They're just removing whatever words and lyrics they object...

    Actually, people have been pushing for smaller video game boxes for years. I recall one computer magazine made their point in an article by stacking game boxes and then taking a blowtorch to them. Those gigantic boxes were ridiculous and wasteful. The new ones use less paper, less plastic, less...

    Maybe an easter egg, maybe not, but the caption for the picture at the beginning of chapter 7 (the strangely proportioned drow elves rockin' out) mentions Lestat. Lestat is, of course, a vampire from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles who formed his own rock band. Check out the picture of the...

    It's strange to one day look around and realize that there are places where tornados aren't commonplace. I hope everyone gets through tornado season unharmed.
