I want to dispute this a little; I love Tribe 8 (and did some writing for the upcoming second edition), but I don't think you can call it science-fiction at all, let alone space opera. It's post-apocalyptic fantasy; the setting (by default, anyway) has no technology beyond that of the modern...

More SF Most outside of d20, all currently supported by their publishers: Heavy Gear (Dream Pod 9): Far future mecha game, based mainly on Terra Nova. Jovian Chronicles (Dream Pod 9): Nearer future, some mecha, some space opera, but all within our solar system. Transhuman Space (Steve Jackson...

Rule 1 obviously doesn't count, but rules 2 and 2b both apply pretty aptly to the current top 10 female names from the <a href="http://www.census.gov/genealogy/names/dist.female.first">US census</a>. This doesn't; not entirely surprising, since object-names probably make more sense for...

OA I adore OA, so I feel compelled to respond... In case you're unaware, India's actually covered in the OA web enhancement, Mahasarpa. I sort of wish Mahasarpa were included in the main book, but it doesn't bother me; it's a great setting, and there's nothing I'd want to see removed from OA...

Right here: http://www.writerpublishing.com/dragons_scifi_horror/publishing.htm Oddly, I could only get there through Lynx at first (the Flash page seems to link to different places). Nonetheless, it's there. Maybe it's from an older version of the site, and they've changed their policies...

Straight from the site: 'Your book may be printed and supplied with a soft laminated cover for a fee, with a minimum number required...' In other words, yes, they're a vanity press at best, a scam at worst. Don't even consider dealing with them.

<u>You</u> are Number 6. (Someone had to say it.)

Tso I've also used the tso in my Planescape campaign. One PC ended up trading with them for information (and a ride on their planar sailing vessel) in order to rescue another PC from achaierai. In return, he agreed to forge them a magebane sword (with various harsh consequences if the contract...

Re: Missing creatures As mentioned above, tanar'ri and baatezu are removed as terms, but the creatures remain. Githyanki and githzerai have been removed from the Psi-monsters. And fologub is spelled wrong (though the correct spelling is in the combat section). Control Shape and Improved...

Why Actually, the terms tanar'ri and baatezu have been removed, too. As for why WotC did this, here's my guess. For a monster like a mind flayer, you couldn't legally do much with it anyway; the physical appearance, society information, and everything but the stat block and combat data weren't...

Planescape vs. Planar Keep in mind that your average 'planar' campaign is going to be fairly different from your average Planescape campaign. I tend to view the former as Prime Material characters venturing out into unknown, mysterious realms, populated mostly by outsiders, where they take a...

Archetypology 101 Aeon's column at rpg.net had an episode devoted to paladins. 'Death Before Dishonor' is at: http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/columns/archetypology31jan02.html It's (almost) all you need. Great stuff.

Future of Dragon Personally, I'd love to see Dragon go back to being a general RPG magazine. It's been many years since I bought an issue, just because I don't have $6 worth of interest in a fairly small amount of D&D content and a handy chunk of previews and advertising. When I consider the...

3E death tyrants are given an entry in the back of the FRCS. I'd give a summary, but...it's long!

This may not be the best place to post this, but I figure someone here should have an idea. I'm a bit confused by the Spell Template for the Relics and Rituals 2 Open Call. ( http://www.swordsorcery.com/SpellTemplate.rtf ) Specifically, the section near the bottom, reading as follows...
