The movie was called Warlock on international release. I'm not sure if that's the name it goes by in the US. As far as the tetragrammaton - I must admit that I know of no references re-dating the 1890's, but I'll believe you. However, this still doesn't make it Christian belief - as you yourself...

Tangent: A little too much Hollywood, not enough Christianity. The notion of a name of God which could destroy creation dates from a movie in the eighties, and has no basis in Chirstian belief or mythology. It's a nit pick, I know, but I'm a stickler.

Incredibly tough Along the lines of the guy who walks into the ER with gunshot wounds, there's a true story in NZ of a farmer whose arm was torn off by a threshing machine. He picked it up, carried it a mile back to his farm house and rang for medical attention. What the human body can...

[/B]Bookstores are also full of insensitive, hard line, right wing exercises in revisionist history. I advocate that neither be avoided "like the plague". Read, reflect, review and learn. That's what history should be all about. Few indeed are the people who have absolutely nothing to...

"First to go, last to know! We will defend to the death our right to be misinformed." The Short Timers, Gustav Hasford Shark, I respect your opinion and your love for this history. I have not read the book in question and cannot rightly comment on any part of it directly, so I will not. I most...

Hey a member of the fraternity (historians, not cherokee). It's nice not to be the only one on the boards. Naturally, as a fellow historian, I agree with anything that jester 47 says! ;)

From: trancejeremy "I do have the first version of Stormbringer, which apparently uses the same rules" Almost, but not quite. Stormbringer is BRP based, and very similar to RQ (2ed). However, there were distinct differences. From: JeffB "IMO< the Second edition game and it’ boxed...

Having suffered through Australia's first bout of DnD = Devil worship in the early eighties, I'm not going to wade very far into that. Like a lot of us from that generation, I'm still fairly tight-lipped about my gaming with non-gamers. Basically, we were treated like members of a cult so we...

Remember the Romans The phalanx of Macedonia was beaten by the Romans - their techniques may work for you. 1. the phalanx tactic needs relatively even ground to work. Your enemy are a solid mass - break that mass up. Put them on uneven ground, try to choose your battlefield. When they're on...

LOL!! Damn, this coin gets everyone! Nice piece - I liked it a lot.

Re: Re: Help with WItch Hunter (OA) Misprint was the wrong word, I meant mistake.

Am I Missing Something Obvious? Why can't you simply burn the body or immerse it in acid - body gone. Works in the real world (when you don't want a body found I mean. Doesn't this beat out everything except Wish, Miracle and True Res.? And if your guy's got heavy hitters casting these...

THe Witch Hunter (PrC) is causing me some difficulties. One of the classes pre-requisites is: "Able to cast Magic Circle of Protection from Taint (Evil) " I always read this to mean that the character must be of sufficient level to cast this spell - ie. Shugenja 6; Wu Jen 5; Shaman 5...

Well, I'm up. I hope it's not too rough, I kind of dashed it off. ----- He is coming. said the raven. “I know.” replied the necromancer, as hoofbeats echoed through the pre-dawn mist. Will you do it? “Of course! The Axe is for the Hero Who Will Save Us. Elward is not the One, coin or no...

Context: PCs are going to send whores onto a ship in port in order to distract the crew and allow them to sneak on. PC Bard (female): I'm looking for the brothel. NPC Brothel Owner: You're hired!

Testify, brother!

Re: Re: I killed my wife's character! Are you married???? This guy is trying to get his wife involved in his favourite hobby. I tried this with every girlfriend I had for years. It's not the easiest thing in the world. Copping an attitude to your spouse after she made the effort to try your...

Re: ***SPOILERS*** SPOILER INSIDE Oh, if you put in the twins then Tywin's got to get a vote. After all, his realpolitik is the reason the twins are the way they are. Any man who would force his son's wife into prostitution just to prove how superior his family's bloodline is, is slime of the...

Actually, isn't this just what the FR is? OK, an over simplification perhaps, but especially early on, it was pretty clear that Toril was really Terra with a slightly messed up map. All the geographical relationships between the various "countries" remained pretty much the same. Personally, I...

Amen!! I still remember the days when the idea of seeing Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson on the same stage was a fantasy. In fact, I suggest people go back and read the early issues of Dragon (when it was "The Dragon"). You can get them on cd rom. Or even better yet, read the now out of print...
