Actually, I like 3E quite a bit - I thought it was almost brilliant in the way it adapted all the great new developments in RPGs since 2E while maintaining the flavor of D&D. All kudos to Ryan for his part that - seriously, it was a great job. It just factuallly and demonstrably wasn't the...

I'm not mad - the review is just factually incorrect in many respects and the arguments used to support it are mostly highly mistaken. If somebody'd written a review of AD&D and based it on how heavily it derived from Warhammer, I'd have given it the same treatment if it had come my attention...

So when you roll against opposed skill check in 3E, that's a saving throw? When you roll a check to dispel magic is that a saving throw too?

It's had all of those since WFRP1, except parts of the combat action system, which definitely has D20 influence. The die mechanic has only changed slightly in WFRP2, with the combat damage going from d6 to d10 - almost everything else has been percentile since the beginning. I would assume that...

Eh, not a very good review. This whole D20 derivative aspect is wrong (not too hard to see where that comes from though) and not especially helpful. WFRP obviously derived a lot from the original D&D, but its inheritance from 3E is paltry, no more than the level of derivation than many have seen...

I'm 99.9% sure that Bretonnia is Breton France.

In a D&D world, paladin traffic cops merely observe the auras of drivers in passing vehicles.

It's not an ad hominem. An ad hominem is an argument which tries to invalidate a point by denigrating the person who made the point. What you're talking about is just an insult.

Given that insects are largely machines of instinct, you have to figure that this must be a fairly routine behavior for the mantis.

But is a coup de mal a good act if performed on an evil creature?

Maybe in D&D it should be Elfce in analogy to dice.

Yeah, under most conditions 10 m is OK, though it depends somewhat on what kind of speeds you're looking at. Use good cable.

Non-artist's impression of driving down the highway on the nearside of the hypothetical satellite (around 65 degrees east of the planet's zenith). During the middle of the first shorter "day": Just after the first sunset:

I am the imposter, but the original Tarchon hasn't been on line in a long, long time.

To roll the dice and hear the weeping of their women and children.

It looks like if you had a 1000 K brown dwarf (not much more than a red glow), with a diameter about 1/10 the sun's, you could sustain decent surface temperatures with a 400,000 km orbit, which would be roughly the same distance as Io from Jupiter. More than likely, Jupiter itself could have met...

You can't really get around the problem that dark=cold. The heat has to come from somewhere. Tidal friction can warm the interior significantly, but I can't imagine what kind of system would have enough tidal friction to keep the atmosphere of a dark moon above the freezing point (with the...

I recommend listing it all on eBay at 1 AM on Sunday with a 6 hour time limit and no reserve. Email me about it just beforehand so I can let people know.

That's gonna be one cold moon.
