Good review, thank you. One note, on the rulers' names... Remember that the Five Nations were each named for one of Galifar's children, so their family lines will probably tend towards the same kind of naming scheme. I know I do that in my own royal lineages (e.g. the Principality of Kana was...

Althaine Catthier Character: Althaine Catthier, male human (Palanthas) Rogue (Dragonlance) Concept: Acrobatic sneak-attack rogue, operates through deception and misapprehension. Flamboyant to the extreme, and fights with twin short swords. Backstory: While it is clear that Althaine's...

Oh, and I've got to say this: It's great to see Chris West will be doing the maps again. His maps were one of the best things about the first Adventure Path, and he's a great guy who deserves lots of work and money. :D (It was a lot of fun having him as a friend and fellow...

I was starting a new campaign with the Adventure Path, so I picked a semi-new setting. Taking the map of Oerik, I've made my setting "Central Oerik". I placed Cauldron just west of the mountain range west of the Sea of Dust/Baklunish Desert, towards the south. This let me bring in...

1 AU = the average distance between the sun and the earth. And by "gravity well", I meant "anywhere within a single star's, or star system's, gravitic influence". Shorthand, and potentially confusable, so I should have clarified. Anyway, as I understand it, in Star*Drive, mass transceivers...

Does anyone have any information on the scout? I designed a scout core class a few years ago, and posted it to Usenet, and was curious if this one is anything like mine.

Another possibility, from another Star*Drive geek: In Alternity/S*D, a mass transceiver only functions while within a gravity well, and only into the same gravity well. The drive transceiver would function even in deep space.

I wanted to read and discuss, but was unable to get a hold of the book. As I'm broke, I'm limited to what I can get from the CLEVNET libraries around northern/northeastern Ohio. Since Eragon is still so new, all copies of it are LocalRequest only, and our library copy remained checked out the...

While I'm sure we'd love our Selection to be as important as a new d20 campaign setting... Methinks you meant Eragon. ;)

First, thanks for asking for our input, Erik. I really appreciate how much you, the other Paizo people, and most of the WotC people have all been very attentive to the D&D community... In fact, I'd say most of the WotC/Paizo people have been more attentive ot their customers than the number...

I love all the ERB books... Also, one must admit that, until settling down, both Thuvia and Llana were far beyond their time in terms of powerful female characters. Anyway. This isn't much about Pattern Recognition anymore... :D

I did my part. :D Anyway, it might be possible that people read it, and found it forgettable enough that they decided to opt out of this discussion thread. Or, perhaps people were driven off by Dragondoom. :D (Just kidding, I liked the experience of finding out just how bad Generic Fantasy...

I had a similar reaction to nHammer. I'm a huge William Gibson fan, and have read all of his books that I know about. That said, I'm also usually very forgiving about books. For instance, I actually liked many of the Dragonlance books. :D I found Pattern Recognition had a "half-finished"...

Of course you'd pick the book on my reading list that I can't easily get from my library... :D Aah well, I've got a few weeks to try to get it yet.

Hey, that was me! :D Someone read my response, cool... Yeah, this amazed me, too. It was stunning to me to find that, of everyone in the entire book, I could only hate ONE freaking person. I was disappointed in Dianora's choices, but the only person I could truly hate was Alberico, and that...

As with several responses in this thread, this one contains SPOILERS. Don't read unless you're done with the book, or don't mind spoilers. I did like it, rather a lot. It was engrossing, interesting, well-crafted, genuine, and it felt somehow important. Kay has a way with language that feels...

I read it, for this Book Club. I really liked it, but haven't had the time to put together my full response to the questions posed by JoeBlank and yourself. I've also recommended it to my fiancee, who is highly likely to read it within the next few months.

I definitely did. I think it took me some 8 days, total, to read it. Since, I've re-read some mostly frivolous stuff (Yendi by Steven Brust and the first five John Carter books by Edgar Rice Burroughs). Well, that and the Arcana Unearthed rulebook. And various Star Wars sourcebooks. Then...

I also liked The Mote in God's Eye, by the same pair, who, oddly enough, my mother used to hang out with, along with David Brin. It sucks when my mom's about a million times cooler than I am. :D

I believe the next selector will be announced shortly, and their selection will be announced, at latest, when we begin discussion of Tigana. That said, I forget exact dates. Heh. It seems like the discussion of Dragondoom is starting to die down.
