    Time saving tricks?

    I have several "ideas" doc files on the zip disk that stays in my work bag. I can write ideas at home or at work. Also, a file of useful websites is handy. Saves the weird bookmarks at work. Many websites are blocked by work firewall.

    [OT] Which do you think are the best fantasy novels/authors?

    You asked my opinion. None below will win a literature award. They are just what I like. I also agree with many other authors others have suggested, but will not repeat them. Norman, John (please don't bother to flame: this is one of MY favorites, doesn't have to be yours). Get out your...

    "Perils of GOR" RPG?

    Gor…Hmmm…not much crunchy roleplaying goodness there…Tarl confronts the assassin on the roof of the Central Cylinder…frees the loyal war tarn in the Arena of Tharna…delves into the lair of the Priest Kings…the Plains of Turia…"I suppose that one has nothing better to do than stand around and...

    'Origin' of Your User Name

    I would have used Imhotep on its own, but it wouldn't take. Imhotep the Egyptian was the builder of the Step Pyramid, one of the first to study medicine, and other science. Later worshipped as a god, even by the Greeks and Romans. Given a bad name this century and last as a shambling, rag...

    Great Googly Moogly! Shiver me Gibbets! I'll be a monkey's uncle!

    I always liked the exclamations from the Dray Prescot books: "By the disgusting, diseased entrails of Makki-Grodno!" "Shut your black-fanged wine-spout!" "Mother Zinzu the Blessed! I needed that!" "By the glass eye and brass sword of Beng Thrax!" Other neato equivalents throughout

    Funniest Thing you have heard at the gaming table

    One very sleepy DM asked of a PC when the fighter was going to attack a demon: "are you using your THROWING spear?" thinking magic spear of distance raucous laughter ensued another... stuttering "are you stinging flings at it?" (flinging stones at it) another... a frustrated high level...

    IRON DM revival!

    Sorry. Would have been funnier if I'd caught him before he posted. I have really enjoyed following this contest. I look forward to the next round. All of the entries were interesting and deserve respect.

    IRON DM revival!

    incognito, having supped deeply on the contents of the arcane writ, comes across an obscure passage left by a disgruntled competitor that, once read, opens a window to a pocket universe and is... Sucked In!!!! The window slams shut. Bummer.

    The Heroes of Hamh *New Campaign* (Help or Ideas ?)

    d20 Modern Promo

    Yestiddy, at my 2nd FLGS, there was an official multipage promo for the d20 Modern RPG marked not for resale. I tried the old Jedi mind trick on the unsuspecting store employee but he made his save and would not give it to me. It had a lot of art and an overview of the game. I think it might...

    MM2 -- is it worth it?

    I have looked it over. I feel my money was well spent. The intro chapter clears up a few questions from MM1 and the templates are kewl. Many old favorites in between. As for others, depending on your gaming content and style, your mileage may vary. I know mine is still good.

    Drain-based Magic System (a la Shadowrun)

    I wanted to respond to this one, I'm surprised no one else did. This seems beautifully simple and and I don't know what d20 modern will do to make it any better. Good job. I hope someone with more spellcasting acumen than I will weigh in.
