About half-way through Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. He's trying to explain why certain societies have come to dominate in power, while others have not. Starting resources have a lot to do with it. As many a computer game reminds you, food production is the key to advancement...
I'll just add that I did see the game played by Gary and his weekly gaming group. It was my first exposure to Lejendary Adventures, and it took a bit before I figured out what they were talking about (which would be true of an outsider watching a 3e game for the first time).
Since Gary does...
Maybe try to work on the one who seems most likely to become involved here. When he/she sees how cool this place is, they can work on the rest of your friends. It's no longer just you encouraging them to stop by, but a new "convert".
I saw a blurb on CNN about this. Does look rather interesting in a "watching a car wreck" kind of way. I'd like to see it. Until then, I'll join CMG in waiting for someone' report.
"Hello," he lied.

"Savage Species-is there something wrong with me!?"
IANADOMHP*, but I don't know if using Savage Species as a diagnostic tool for your psychological wellbeing is such a good idea.

Although I won't be using anything in there for a while, I am...
Having disappointed you once, let me do so again regarding the deleted scenes.:( They seem to be the same ones as on the first release.
krunchyfrogg, basically yes--owning both is kind of pointless, which makes 1.5 a more painful kick in the junk unless you have someone interested in the...
I got this last week. Decent commentary; lots of "Making of" stuff on disk two; some nice (but too brief:) ) previews of X-men 2. One thing that surprised me was the movie ticket coupon--free admission (up to $12.00) to either Daredevil or X-men 2. On the whole I'm happy with it, though I...
I just love watching that whole scene after the senate hearing between Stewart and McKellen. Every line in there is great, same with the final conversation while they are playing chess. Gravitas is exactly right.
Are you thinking of Windhaven? http://www.affinitygames.com/windhaven.php
Things are kind of quiet on the site, but they did post over here a few weeks ago that they are still alive and kicking, and the book should be out soon.
