They are an awesome set of books. For those who are interested the author is Naomi Novik and the titles are: Her Magesty's Dragon (England) Throne of Jade (China) Black Powder War (Europe) Empire of Ivory (Africa). There is a lot of travelling involved (hence the locations in parenthesis) and...

I doubt that the save DC will scale with level since none of the higher level monsters that we have seen say anything about higher target numbers. I suspect (but do not know) that the saving throw target number will be determined by tier. In other words; Heroic DC = 10 Paragon DC = 15 Epic DC...

From Wise Geek The Casimir effect refers to the tiny attractive force that appears between two uncharged plates in a vacuum. This Casimir force is only measurable when the plates are extremely close together (several atomic diameters). The attractive force occurs because, as quantum theory...

There is the d20zine 2002 special which lists a whole bunch of the settings submitted in the six question format (core statement, who are the heroes? etc). It is available for free download. I think on DRTRPG. I found it while looking for stuff in the freebie section. Sorry, got no link.

The tiger men from Jade Dragons and Hungry Ghosts are Chiao (and are under the Tiger General entry. They are both listed in Monster Geographica: Forest each under their own entry.

In my homebrew elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes and orcs are known of the Divine Races. The Divine Races were created and placed on the world according to each of their gods. Humans (for want of a better term) evolved naturally and had to create their own gods. Whenever a Divine race mates...

I have no idea what you are talking about there. :( I only know of one way to hook up my monitor to the computer. As far as the cable goes it looks fine. Also, as it turns out the video card is built in to the motherboard. If I install a replacement video card in a slot will it override the...

thanks guys, By "fiddling" I meant that I pulled it out and put in back in again. no luck there. I don't recall it beeping, but I will listen to it more carefully. It doesn't have external speakers. The fan is working. Tried a different monitor, but with the same cable. Will try different...

In a nutshell my computer won't show anything on the monitor. The monitor seems to be fine: the power light is on, if I unpug the cable I get a no signal message, but when I turn on my computer nothing happens. absolutly nothing. tried it with another monitor and same results. I have changed...

There isn't an official policy. However, many gms have a policy of swapping out one known spell from the standard list for each spell gained from a non-standard list. I myself take a slightly different take. Since I have many of the third party sources I have allocated them to the various...

Back just before the switch to 3.5, I had the same question. So I grabbed my pile of Dungeon magazine and made a list of all the the spellbooks in those pages. After doing some math I found this rough formula: number of spell levels = class level squared. It works pretty well. If a spell...

Thanks guys, To answer some of your questions: I'm in Arizona. In terms of stuff all I really have is a computer (with windows 98!), tv, vcr, dvd player ($30 from wal-mart) and about 12 dvd box sets. Plus my rpg stuff (about 25 linear feet on the book shelves). It's not much, but I worry...

Well, looks like I may have to declare bankruptcy. So I was wondering if anybody had some general or specific advice before I actually took the plunge. In particular I was wondering if I should sell all of my roleplaying stuff or just let them take them. As a related question, when they...

Thanks for the comments so far. What exactly is div-x and why should I care? Note: That isn't meant to sound snarky. I really am interested in what you have to say about it.

Since my old dvd player is constantly skipping while playing discs, I have decided to take advantage of any upcoming Labor Day sales and buy a new dvd player. So I though I would tap the collective wisdom of the boards to find a good one. What I am looking for: 1) Something not too expensive...

Firstt the easy one: law and chaos. The above post by trickster god about consistency vs spontaneity is a good one. In personality terms it could also be described as introvert vs extrovert. But I also think that it goes beyond that. Chaotic individuals aren’t into planning. The saying...

My very first character was a cleric. My very first magic item was an axe +2. It was also the only magic weapon that character ever got to lay hands on.
