I think I was looking up the same person. I still used the glossary to some degree, for the characters I couldn't remember the names of, but I tried not to read too much of it, or about major characters. I think you're right on the money. What he *should* have done, in a case like this, was...

Yup. I have this much time to read because I'm only getting 15 hours a week of work, and my job is kinda boring. And my fiancee is really sick, so she's sleeping most of the time.

Oh, me too! :D I just picked it up from my local library (after requesting it through the Cleveland Library Net), so I'm all set to start it once I finish my current book (Lion's Blood, by Steven Barnes, which is very good so far, well into the last 1/4). And yes, that means that I'm reading...

Oh, good, I won't be the first negative commenter. :D I did like a few aspects of the book. He obviously put a lot of work into the background of the world, and his concepts. His take on the "what happens after the dragon is dead", and what happens to the hoard, are interesting, though not...

And please link it here and/or the suggestions/selectors thread, for those of us (like me) who don't use these forums for much of anything else?

I haven't read it yet, but I've heard that Blood Music, by Greg Bear, has a few very graphic and disturbing scenes... But it's also considered to be a very good book. I'm wondering whether something like that would be out of the question, or not? Also, the "Rhapsody" series, by Elizabeth...

Re: Re: Re: Re: jester47 has spoken! With links, though, and subscription, that's pretty easy. And we don't need to add the links to all Book Club threads. Just keep two active: the main one for general Book Club discussion, including the links to all specific threads, and the current...

Re: Re: jester47 has spoken! Alternatively, the thread could be linked to both here and on the Selections/Suggestions thread. That way, we've got access to the new suggestion thread, while not making people who join in December, or so, sort through the discussion of the previous few books...

Sounds good, and both editions are fully accessible through my local libraries. :D I haven't read any McKiernan, but I've had him recommended several times. I'm looking forward to it.

first, i'd like to apologize for typing all lower-case; my keyboard is dead, and i'm typing w/ ''key caps'' and my mouse. :D i'll address a few that might have s.f.b.c. editions below. this certainly used to exist, as ender's war, containing ender's game and speaker for the dead. might...

Another: I haven't read this one, but everything I've heard about it has been good; it was even the inspiration for one of the alien species in the Dark•Matter conspiracy setting for the Alternity game by TSR/WotC: Blood Music, by Greg Bear. And my less altruistic reason: I really want to...

This sounds like fun! I'd like to add my name to the list of potential editors/selectors. My suggestions: Rhapsody by Elizabeth Haydon (relatively new). All Tomorrow's Parties by William Gibson (part of a pseudo-series, but he writes all his books to be very, very independent of each other)...

I love this smiley. Where did you get it? If you created it, would you mind if I used it elsewhere and/or here?

It's now irrelevant, the player in question changed his mind... But I also wonder this. The hit die increase is totally irrelevant to class levels, according to the MM and to SvS... Class levels to a templated creature go on *after* the template was added. I was actually mis-remembering the...

Thank you, but I have looked at Savage Species. The only information about the half-dragon the tables in Savage Species provides is the +3 total LA, which is up 1 from the Monster Manual. In the Intermediate Monsters chapter, it uses the half-dragon/half-orc as an example, but doesn't actually...

Well, I've looked through the threads as best I could, and I've Google'd r.g.f.d... I've got a player making a new character. We're converting to 3.5 when it comes out. To make his life easier, and because I didn't like the 3.0 varying damage for half-dragon breath weapons, I'm looking for...
