    Random peeves

    I have a special name for times like that. I call them "mornings". Which leads me to my biggest peeve: alarm clocks. When it takes a noise as loud as the average rock concert to wake up in the morning, that's probably a sign that humanity wasn't actually meant to be up at such an insanely...

    Does WOTC's product listings irk anyone?

    If you click the column header for Type in the product listing, it will group all the products of the same type together. That groups the list into Accessories, Adventures, Anthologies, Core Game Products, and Novels. The novels are all at the bottom, and everything else but the anthologies...

    song parodies

    Ooh, I like what you've got so far Thunderfoot. That's a good song, though I've only ever heard Dylan's own version, not the Byrds' cover.

    With 2006 only half over would they even know yet what the cost of living increase is from 2005?

    Amazon emails

    Just to muddy the waters here, the part about Amazon asking to reconfirm credit card details anytime an order is shipped to a new address is true. It happened to me recently when I ordered a gift for a friend and had Amazon ship it directly to them. That being said, since their help section...

    THe RPG book you've waited for is going to be a PDF only release, do you buy?

    What Diaglo said. Plus, even if you do print it out yourself, there's no elegant way to bind it. It could be Ed Greenwood's Super Secret Hush Hush Never Before Published Tub O' Ultracool Realmslore and if it was PDF only, I wouldn't buy it.

    MERGED -- "Dragons: Worlds Afire" ad causes horizontal scrollbar

    To counter the Coastal Wizards' Stretch My Screen ability, simply activate your Fit to Window Width or Set Zoom to 90% ability, which are of course abilities of the Norwegian Web Browser prestige class.

    The Plot Thickens (Dusk: Pawns of the Prince DM's Notes - Session 2 recap)

    No encounter suggestions, but I'm enjoying following this. The DMing tips and house rule commentary really adds to it.

    The Second page: where threads go to die? (poll)

    I frequently read page 2 of the forums. I very rarely read page 2 of the threads themselves.

    These Aren't the DVDs We're Looking For

    Thanks for clearing that up. And sorry for the false alarm. Studio Briefing is usually pretty good about getting their facts right and issuing corrections the next day on the rare occasions they don't, so I didn't bother to look elsewhere before I posted the information.

    These Aren't the DVDs We're Looking For

    Bad news for Star Wars fans who were waiting for the DVD release of the non-Special Edition versions of the original trilogy. According to this story the DVDs will be "copied from the laserdiscs of the films released in the mid'90s, formatted for the conventional TV screen and not wide-screen...

    song parodies

    I lack the talent to write it, but Don McLean's American Pie is absolutely begging to be turned into a song parody about Karsus's Folly and the Day the Magic Died.

    Good FR novel

    Elaine Cunningham's Evermeet is 99% stand alone, although it has some interludes that involve characters from her Aerilyn and Danilo books. Unfortunately it's also IMO one of her weaker books.

    Of course I would put NPC design off till the last day...

    Monte Cook's Dungeoncraft column in the latest Dungeon (#130, January 2006) has a very good system for faking it on NPC stats.

    Do you use song lyrics as inspiration for adventures?

    Irish Traditionals are about as non-metal as you can get. There are some that are D&D-ish, but I've never taken an adventure from them. The Black Velvet Band (about a guy from Belfast who gets sent off to Van Diemen's Land after a pretty pickpocket sets him up*), The Wild Rover (about a young...

    Do you use song lyrics as inspiration for adventures?

    Dude, you just made me change CDs. That album is amazing, and as you say, full of D&D type imagery. With the lines about prison moons and such I always thought it would be really suited to a moody, atmospheric Spelljammer game. Maybe it's partly the colors of the album cover, but I have a...
