Oh, well, when you put it that way. But wouldn't that be the long way around? Why not just reverse the polarity of the neutron flow?

Now how is that answer good science? :cool:

Here's the one I can't figure out: how does a sphere of annhilation exist in any space that isn't a total vacuum without just wrecking the place?

Coming soon: Stephen Hawking explains why you should never, ever try to store a portable hole in a Heward's handy haversack.

Has anyone had a look at Traveller5? I'm curious about it, but it's a big price even for a big PDF.

I'm having an interesting experience. I'd had the notion a few months ago that starting up a D&D game or club could be beneficial for some of our students - I teach English as a second language at a large university. My wife thought I should be careful because of the stigma she perceived. (She...

WEG wins hands down for content - the game played such a huge part in kicking off the EU, and I still think the WEG contributions are the best part of the EU. The current games win for game mechanics, though.

I have to vote for LUGTrek, which I think managed to best reflect the spirit of each TV series while still adding original material. FASA is second for nostalgia value, but I really did lose faith with that line as it transitioned more toward militarism. The early material was pretty good, though.

Glad I looked before I typed. It was just too much to ask that no one else would come up with that first.

I agree, and Mr. Thompson's approach is a nice one for inexperienced DMs to see. The principles of preparing extra stuff at several levels of play is expressed well. The more-experienced can forget that these notions aren't all that self-evident.

Rocket Age and Qin both tempt me (the latter because I'm an old Sinophile), but the money isn't there right now. Ah, well.

Definitely. I'm very fond of Yggdrasill and the Doctor Who game as well.

The One Ring is one dang good game, and each and every new book just keeps that quality going. I love the Northern European mythological atmosphere of the game, which suits Tolkien perfectly.

That's because modrons are the coolest original extraplanar creature in FRPG history. I missed those guys. *sigh* True. I keep forgetting that because I take the very un-American view that I should expect nothing but adequacy from myself.

I gave up trying to pronounce Greek a long time ago. It's sheer insanity for any language to accept /pn/ as a word-initial consonant cluster. And don't even get me started on mora-timed stress patterns - Japanese was more than enough of that for me!

Actually, we Americans have no idea how to say "satyr." The pronunciation was likely chosen by throwing darts (which we also have no idea how to do).

The art on that first "random dungeon building" page looks...eerily familiar. It brings back dim memories of TPKs gone by.
