Nope, nothing. All I see in the haze is the distinct outline of a gape-jawed skull, starting underneath the right-hand quillion ...

Paizo's kobolds may be based on a damned ugly dog, but somehow they remind me more of Gremlins. (as in the movie.) Can't wait to see the green one ;)

Jya. Magic is slowly coming together as a few different variants in my campaign. In the main, arcane magic is gained through "normal" means, mostly intense research of magical phenomena, the interaction of the various arcane energies, and more complicated encoding systems than you can shake...

While we're talking about terrain ... If the proposed country is an Egypt analogue, and not styled after Egypt, the issue of suitably flat lands for chariot use would be somewhat less of a concern, I think ... because Egypt (and it's neighbours) are admirably suited for chariot-use. Might...

Sentient Polar Bears ... Jya. As far as polar bear people go, I seem to recal (and I may be way off-base on this one, it's been some time) that there were similar creatures in at least one of Michael Moorcock's books. The Dragon In The Sword, I think. They may have been called the "Ursine...

Jya. While there's certainly Moorcock influence in my current campaign, there's even more from other sources ... mostly Bronze Age Egypt and Crete, as far as mythological/historical goes. For fiction, I'd have to say ... hmm ... Lloyd Alexander, Kunihiko Ikuhara, and Tetsuya Nomura. A fantasy...

Jya. We still use electrum at the old edition rate (2 ep = 1 gp); we saw no reason to drop the metal, because it was interesting. I seem to recall that in one campaign the distinction was made between "natural" electrum -- which couldn't be seperated into it's component metals) -- and...

Things I miss from earlier editions ... - Priests of different deities who actually seemed different from one another. - Planescape. And Spelljammer, Al-Qadim, Dark Sun ... unique campaign settings. - The "wierder" spells, like glassteel. - The expanded Inner Planes (Paraelemental...

Still using 3e here, though we hybrid in new material such as the XPH and the Draconomicon (sometimes without even consciously noting the differences ... bad us ;) ). Out of the gaming group, I'm the only one who's paid any attention to 3.5, and that's simply because I want to keep track of...

Jya. Although the BoEM series and Anger of Angels have been useful to me on any number of occasions, I would have to say that I have gotten by far the most milage out of Requiem For A God. I suppose that says something about my campaigns ... ;)

Jya. There were two khopesh (or khepesh) found in the tomb of Tutankhamen, according to Nicholas Reeves' The Complete Tutankhamen; length measurements were given for them, which may help out a little (I hope :) ) One was adult scaled, the cutting edge possibly more suited to crushing, and its...

Jya. Microworlds have been a staple of my campaign design for longer than I should probably admit -- when the PCs aren't in one, they're discovering one or falling into one *ehehs* I attribute most of this to my distinct glee in trying to design tiny worlds that might stand a chance of being...
