Decided to give my birthday money to you, since having this site around for a good long time is the perfect birthday present! Hope I'm in time... Sappy enough? True though. I can do without video games for a couple months (I should be studying anyway). $200 via XRP. And a hardcopy of the...

Well, I realize that it is possible, otherwise I wouldn't be asking for suggestions. I just can't formulate anything concrete on how to get that kind of feel.

Another school year, another campaign. After talking with my players, they said that they were looking for something other than our normal fare; specifically, they wanted to play a game set in a world's "mythic age." Asking for a little definition, I was told, "You know, like the...

My first DM killed off all the players but one in the last battle with the BBEG and we had to watch the last player, who mysteriously happened to be the DM's best friend (and the lost prince of the fey, and could turn into a dragon at will, and... of course, the other players knew none of this...

True. I believe there are 46 distinct characters in both of the phonetic "alphabets" (hiragana and katakana), with a " mark differentiating between an unvoiced mora and its counterpart (ka/ga, sa/za, ta/da, ha/ba) and ° denoting the difference between ha and pa. -N is generally pronounced as -m...

Well, there's a specific reason for that. As far as I understand it, Japanese has a mora (like a syllable, but not quite) based system, rather than a letter based system, in that their unit of writing is, for the most part, CV (consonants-vowel), with 5 V-only mora, and a single C-only mora...

I'm running out of drool! Wantsssss it... my precioussss... Um, sorry. Any updates? :D

Muncie is one of the most boring places on earth. Then again, it does have a mall and a FLGS (the Wizard's Keep is having a 20% off sale! On everything! Go!). But you'd have to include rules about the probability of getting a parking ticket on campus (about 80% with modifiers), and how badly...

I'll weigh in on this particular aspect of it. I love the work that Stephanie Pui-Mun Law did for illustrating it, and there are several pictures that I stylistically enjoy (Asherake on p27, spiny four-armed cat person on 86, that sort of thing). The art that I positively hated was from the...

A campaign I once ran a long time ago had the main villian of one story arc being the village healer. He had a sideline in necromancy and golems of the fleshy variety. The name? I am so embarrassed. Mentos, the Fleshmaker "Flesh grows better with Mentos, fresh and full of life!" Please...

One DM I played with for a really long time just used a graphics program (he used Paintshop, but practically any will do). He had a standard sized grid and legend with a transparent background, and drew a rough of what was around (trees, cliffs, water, that sort of thing), and pasted the grid...

I'll be honest. I really despise having to flip back and forth between two PDFs. Wouldn't it be just as easy to update the EoM file itself and use the features at RPGnow to distribute it to previous buyers?

More Japanese Studies? *raised hand* Me too. Is it ancient or modern Japanese history? I can't get my uni to offer ancient because they think there isn't any demand for it.

Thanks! Thanks a lot. I think those links will be helpful. It's really only an academic exercise for me, but it's a matter of pride to make it internally consistent. D&D as a VR-enhanced spectator sport just makes me giggle.

Having been involved in two classes this semester beating into me a wholly negative view of designer babies and cloning, I came into an idea to save myself from a total boredom breakdown. I'm sure it's been done before, but the idea was for an alt.earth that was approximately a generation in...

Vocal focus I'm currently working on a prestige race that focuses on the different monstrous vocal abilities (frex the harpy, allip, phoenix, sirine, etc). For my campaign I'm doing costs based on the Bastion method (roughly half as expensive as the magic item pricing method), but when I'm...

4 vs. 2... *waves* Um, hi, just peeking out of the Nat20 board for a bit... I'm the DM of my group (yeah, I'm female, but it seems pretty silly to say that given the context). My group is mostly gals; 4 of us (including me) versus 2 of them. These are my two dorm-roommates, a guy I know...

Just wanted to say... I'll be emailing you once I get back from my Dune class. I hope I didn't come across as too snippy for something that isn't your fault. Regards, Sarah
