    Why do so many people refer to Forgotten Realms as "High Magic?"

    Someone - I think it was Sean K Reynolds on his boards - noted that epic level spells are not bound by the restriction that banned 10th-12th level spells (and neither are spells metamagicked to that level). So none of these fall for the restriction. From what I've heard about the epic spell...

    Conan vs Lord of the Rings

    Yes and he is dealt with in more detail in the TTT also - the complaining poster above may want to read the Voice of Saruman chapter if in doubt. In addition, a modified version of that scene (some 11 minutes long) will appear in RotK Extended Edition next November and reveal the fates of...

    Anyone else excited over OGL Ancients?

    Care to elaborate? Surely something of value can be found for use with Mulhorand, Unther and Chessenta in the FR :) -Zarrock

    B5 Earth Alliance Factbook - How many people can you offend?

    To me the real problem here is that anyone that has studied the conflict in deeper detail will realise that you cannot label one side terrorist and one side victims. From the standpoint of many the English are the terrorists and the Irish legitimite freedom fighters (this is especially true if...

    B5 Earth Alliance Factbook - How many people can you offend?

    No problem. I am myself quite committed to the Irish/English conflict and have been so for many years. Therefore I am naturally a bit sensitive to writings that simplify the conflict - no matter where they may appear. I have not seen the earlier "flame wars" that Neo describes above, but if his...

    Advanced D20 by Sword & Sorcery

    Advanced? Well, these Advanced products do sound interesting. Mostly because I have no clue what they could put in them though! Seems that leaves me no other alternative than stay informed which is really difficult in the modern society - darn it ;) -Zarrock

    B5 Earth Alliance Factbook - How many people can you offend?

    Which is indeed, a good disposition that we could all learn from. The mentioned quotes as they stand alone, however, I could not let stand unreplied as I found them simply to inherently flawed to be redeemed if they are indeed - as stated earlier - presented as "neutral" and informative text...

    B5 Earth Alliance Factbook - How many people can you offend?

    Laughable and ignorant [LEFT] Perceiving myself as a very openminded European with thorough experiences of the different cultures that exist on my continent (being myself Danish), I can only label the descriptions "ignorant to the point where they are just laughable." The author shows...

    Why do you NOT like 3.5 ?

    I'm not surprised by this development at all. Firstly, on the Internet minorities are QUITE vocal and this easily distorts the perception of the average fan's feelings about a book. Second (and more importantly), my FLGS owner informed me that the Revised Core Books have clearly outsold the...

    Why doesn't Fantasy Flight Games get more Love

    I love FFG. Nothing has excited me as much as Dragonstar before or after its release. The buzz around it seems to have faded about but that cannot stop my enthusiasm. Otherwise, I think their Legends and Lairs series is excellent. Top notch company. -Zarrock

    The Gaming Ideal

    1) 5-6 players 2) Once or twice a week as a minimum 3) At least 6 hours 4) Can't elaborate much on that - I like a fair amount of crunch that I can directly use in my games but the books should also be evocative and an interesting read. (Lords of Darkness is a prime example of such a book)...

    Everyone, Tell us about your games, please!

    1.) 4 2) Yes 3) No 4) All male 5) Yes a great one - Goblin Gate. 6) Mostly homebrew - but just ran RttToEE 7) I've been playing for 15 years and I'm 24 years old 8) Myself - later my older cousin gave me some tips. -Zarrock

    Origin of D&D words/names?

    Of course now that most Celestials will again be called just "angels" we should probably redub Aasimars to AngeLITES :p -Zarrock

    Thanks

    Congratulations with the success of AU! :) I sincerely hope that its success will also mark the beginning of a new upturn in D20/OGL innovations. Can't wait to get my copy (out of courtesy I always buy from my FLGS over here in Denmark since the owner is such an alround nice guy that he...

    [OT] Who are YOU and what do you DO?

    I'm a 24-year-old Dane who grew up very close to the German border (in a real border region). I have a BA in Business Languages English and German and specialised in International Market Communications. I'm currently finishing my MsC in Information Technology (IT, Communication and...

    Is The Paladin Weak?

    Yeah, and in some campaigns paladins have more multiclass options (like FR - for instance Paladins of Tyr can freely multiclass into fighter etc.). Personally, I give all classes free multiclassing as long as it doesn't violate alignment restrictions... -Zarrock

    [OT] Any Tour de France Fans out there?

    Poor Ullrich. Finally he changes strategy and attacks on the second-last mountain and then he is punished for attacking too early. Had he waited things would have been very different... Just shows how important it is to keep doing what you're good at in bicycling. Too me this will be the third...

    [OT] Any Tour de France Fans out there?

    Vinokourov's great chance is that IF he takes the Yellow Jersey tomorrow, it will give him wings for the Time Trial (just look at Pantani in 1998). AND he only lost 30 seconds to Armstrong on the first one. Col de Tourmalet and Luz-Ardiden are so nasty that they can potentially rip huge gaps...

    I have a 22 Constitution.

    Couldn't agree more. If it was true no one I know would be alive today (including myself). Hell, I should have died at least 50 times during high school looking at it like that ... ;) -Zarrock ;
