    Units of game-design complexity?

    I think we should use hats. It's well known that a hat of d02 knows no limit (which equates to infinity). Since a d20 has 10 times as many numbers on it as a d02, it's pretty simple to determine that the complexity level of a d20-based game is 10 times infinity.

    Request: Cross Deity Lists

    These situations changed and/or were retconned by the time the FRCS was published. FWIW, the FRCS also has a conversion table on page 9 listing all the Player's Handbook deities and their FR equivalents.

    Blazer Web Browser / Treo

    I've never used the Net from a mobile phone, but as a dedicated user of Opera's desktop version, I often hear good things about their mobile version.

    Why No News?

    I heard the outage is because Morrus is installing a new news module and is having difficulty getting it configured properly. So far it just keeps repeating over and over... "Gnome Gnews is good gnews. With Gary. Gnome."

    Tell me about the 1E AD&D DMG

    There was also the cost of lost sales of the 2nd Edition core books.

    DCC 35!! Goodmans new campaign setting!(9/23 Update)

    I've been considering getting this since it was announced. The sample PDF finally convinced me. So I've gone and preordered DCC #35 from Amazon. Here's hoping I get more use out of it than I have the World's Largest Dungeon.

    Forget dragons, deities, and 20th level wizards, that's power.

    Tell me about the 1E AD&D DMG

    Oriental Adventures I can understand, since there wasn't a 2nd Edition replacement, and they released a 2nd Edition Monstrous Compendium tie-in for it. But to keep reprinting the core rulebooks for a previous edition boggles me.

    Tell me about the 1E AD&D DMG

    Inspired by this thread I dug out my 1E DMG today and had a flip through it. Definitely a lot of stuff in there that's still useful today. I particularly liked the table for random NPC personalities. At the same time there was a lot of stuff that hasn't held up so well. Enough that I...

    XML Tutorial

    Don't know how good it is for XML, but I use w3schools for all my HTML reference needs.

    Can't connect to the URL, only the IP

    Start > Run. Type "cmd" (without the quotes) and hit enter. At the command prompt type: tracert enworld.org If you wanna output the results to a text file so it's easier to copy and paste for Ironwolf, instead type: tracert enworld.org > trace.txt You won't see the results on screen, but...

    Any interest in a Monster Compendium?

    This idea reminds me of what TSR started doing in the waning years of 2nd Edition with the Monstrous Compendium Annuals. I really liked those, so I'd be all for a similar series for 3E.

    Why wouldn't Someone Learn Magic...

    Spellcasting doesn't come with a WYSIWYG three-button mouse point-and-click interface. Spellcasting is more like programming. In raw binary. With your only source of knowledge about how to do it being some half-crazy old man who'll show you a few basics and then leave you on your own to...

    Can't connect to the URL, only the IP

    First things first, if you've got any firewall software running (including the one built in to XP), disable it and try to connect. Next if you're on broadband, I'd try cycling the power to both your cable modem/DSL connector AND any router you've got connected to them. Shut both devices down...

    Is a Drow Druid possible?

    Off the top of my head, any deity which has a strong association with animals or natural forces such as the sun, the moon, the wind. So Selûne, Lathander, Shaundakul, Sehanine Moonbow, and Eilistraee immediately spring to mind. I've probably missed a bunch who are from outside the Faerûnian...

    Is a Drow Druid possible?

    Lolth isn't on the list of nature deities in Faiths and Pantheons, which is probably why Lolth doesn't have druids and rangers in official FR products. Though personally I think Lolth having (female) druids and (male) rangers is such a good idea that I'm gonna steal it. While I'm at it, some...
